Drove to Jody's to see if they could be fixed and also purchase new ones in my existing frames. The optician fixed my damaged glasses at no charge within 5 minutes. I got new sets of glasses from a new prescription in my own frames. Returned in 2 1/2 hours to pick them up and have them fitted perfectly. Outstanding service, quality and reasonable prices! Jody's Optical is an optician shop which makes custom eyeglasses from your Doctor's prescription. Usually eyeglasses are made onsite within a matter of a couple of hours. I love this business for two primary reasons. They will fit new lenses to your old frames or your own frames which you have purchased elsewhere. They have a large selection of frames if you wish to purchase frames there, however. Second, they always do an outstanding job of fitting your glasses to your head which is a skill missing in most big box retailers of eyeglasses. Have been buying eyeglasses here for years and recommend them highly.

That's fine, I'll find another doctor, but I hope this reaches someone who cares about how the front office treats potential new patients. The front desk represents the entire practice, and this experience left a very poor impression. I will NOT be going to see any doctor in this group unfortunately and not all.

I am going to say after my first visit with Dr.Christie Thomas back in May I did not feel right…read moreabout her. The visit felt rushed, I felt she did not listen to me when I would try to explain things to her, when she would ask me a question right in mid sentence she would interrupt me and ask me another. Not even giving me a chance to finish what I was saying. I also felt she did not thoroughly check me over as previous rheumatologists would. What is prompting me to leave this review about her are events that happened back in late October-early November. On October 26th I awoke with bad pain in my right elbow and right knee. I was walking with a limp and could not bend my arm. At first I assumed I pushed my body too much and it needed a rest. The next day the pain was still there so I called to make an appointment with the bone and joint clinic. I got an appointment with them for October 31st but in between that time the pain spread and now both knees, feet, still right elbow, and left hand were badly hurting. I could barely walk and when I did I was walking like a paraplegic. I tried multiple times to get in to see Dr.Thomas regarding this issue and each time her nurses kept telling me how she said it's not a rheumatoid issue, it's not Wegener's, and that I needed to go to primary care. I called Dr.Thomas's offices in Florence and Huntsville on October 31st, November 1st, and November 2nd. Every doctor I saw about this referred me back to rheumatology. At the bone and joint clinic they did xrays on me and the P.A I saw said since there was no significant trauma and my history with Wegener's that it's a rheumatoid issue and to go back to my rheumatologist. I relayed that information to both Dr.Thomas's nurses and Dr.Thomas still ignored it and told me to go to a pcp and that it wasn't her problem. I even went to urgent care and the nurse there after doing blood work on me, checking me for sickle cell, lupus, and telling me my sed rate was 120 referred me back to rheumatology. She said my rheumy needs to see me and I let her know that she wouldn't. That nurse put in a referral for me to see Dr.Chen another rheumy in the same practice. I had gotten so bad I could not walk. I was basically bed ridden. I had to walk on the sides of my feet. I was forced to call my job and let the lady in HR know I could not walk and my job put me on a formal leave and wanted me to go on their short term disability leave until doctors could figure out what was going on. They also let me know my status as an employee was under review for termination. I called Dr.Thomas's office one last time November 2nd relaying all of this to Lisa her nurse and Lisa said Dr.Thomas did not think it was a rheumatoid issue, that it wasn't the Wegener's, and she would not fill out the paperwork for the short term company paid disability. I begged Lisa if I could come in so Dr.Thomas could see the condition I was in and that I would drive to Huntsville. Lisa said yes and that Dr.Thomas had an opening Nov.3rd at 10:30am. Lisa then put me on hold and went and consulted with Dr.Thomas. When she came back she told me Dr.Thomas said I could not come in. I then said are you telling me Dr.Thomas is refusing to treat me altogether and she said no to keep my appointment for the 7th but that there was no need for me to come in earlier. That Saturday morning Nov.5th when I tried walking to the bathroom I sat down on the toilet and my knees cracked. I was shaking the pain was so bad. I had to call a friend to take me to the ER. That night my right knee started swelling. Long story short I ended up having to go to Emory ER and Emory rheumatology in Atlanta, GA because Dr.Thomas refused multiple times to address my apparent rheumatoid issues. Whether it was the Wegener's or not the issues I was having were rheumatoid related and Dr.Thomas could have treated it but refused. Going on her personal opinion and not medical expertise which apparently isn't much. At that point I was in a wheelchair which Dr.Thomas saw Nov.7th and still refused to do anything. She refused to look at my knee to see how swollen it was and only said she would do an mri of it, get my blood and told me to come back in 2 weeks. The rheumy at Emory took the time to listen to me, document my ailments, and then drained the fluid from my knee, injected a steroid in it, and put me on 20mg of prednisone. Within a day I could walk and was pain free. Had I listened to Dr.Thomas and waited an additional 2 weeks I would have been worse off. She also refused to prescribe me antibiotics for a UTI she saw I had from my urinalysis. She told me to go to primary care to get it treated. An untreated UTI can spread to the kidneys and cause sepsis and death. Do NOT go to Dr.Thomas. She is an uncaring, incompetent, inept, and negligent doctor. Her bedside manners are terrible, she is rude, and blatant about it. This woman once told me I was just a number to her.
