    It was a clear Tuesday afternoon, when we drove 45 minutes to this chain eye doctor in Monroe. Our…read moreregular eyecarecenter in Concord was booked through June. This place had a friendly eye care associate, Abraham and terrific Doctor Ryan Wurkis, who is originally from Concord. Dr. Wurkis had the best way of explaining terminology in layman's terms as well as a friendly disposition that could probably make anyone feel welcomed. Happily, we were seen right on time. Waiting was kept to a minimum. The staff had every COVID-19 safety precaution in place, but the single unisex restroom was in dire need of a cleaning. Though we are taking our prescriptions to an online fulfillment site, this visit was painless, dare I say pleasant, even. Worth the trip!

    Dr. Ryan Wurkis is great. He moved from the Concord location. The call center is much better…read morecustomer service than the customer service at this Monroe location. The staff is not very friendly. It's apparent their is a riff in the office or they just would rather be somewhere else. When the great customer service was mentioned the office noses got bent out of shape. Like I said Dr. Wurkis is great. I had a issue with one eye. He gave me some drops. Later I got the same problem with my other eye. I called the office and explained my issue. Was told Dr. Wurkis was out that day and the following week. The person I spoke to said they would check and give me a call in the next couple of hours. I know they have other drs. That could have prescribed the meds in Dr. Wurkis's absence. I never got a call back and it's the weekend now and got no relief. Great drs never stay in an environment like this for long. I give 2 stars because the Dr was great. They loose 3 stars because the staff sucks.

I had two insurance options, Medicare and VSP, the largest nationally known eye care insurance program. As VSP had a $15 deductible, I opted to file thru Medicare, but she didn't want to do it. Medicare would have paid at 100% and saved me the $15, but she still balked, although it is her job to file insurance claims. So I suggested that she file anyway, and if there was a problem, we could always file under the other plan and I could pay the $15 deductible. She refused, saying that she would only file one claim, not two. At that point it really rankled me, and I said that if I had to knock on the door where the dr. was working, I guess he would help get this straight,. Her reply was, go ahead, he is my husband. He will stand behind anything she does. I demanded a copy of my prescription so that I could go to another dr. office to get my glasses, as I knew I wasn't going to do anything more there, and she refused until I paid her the $15 balance. With her attitude toward people and the fact that she is fire proof, she wouldn't last ten minutes at any other job. This is a rude, mean spirited woman who needs to be somewhere else. I will never go back into this doctor's office, which is sad. He is a good man. But his wife......
