    I always have a five star experience here at the Thomas Eye Group…read more Dr. Cobb is kind, knowledgeable, and has an outstanding bedside manner. I always feel well cared for during every visit as he explains everything thoroughly. There's plenty of parking outside.

    Here for an annual optician appointment, glasses no contacts. TL;DR: pros: did not have long wait,…read moreprofessional doctor and friendly assistant; high-end frame selections. Cons: terrible parking; impersonal conveyor belt service, graceless signage in lieu of personal communication; sketchy services, deceptive sales. Had to circle lot several times to find spot; others had made creative spots in the back. Walked in and was greeted by signs and terminals to check in myself. Went upstairs to follow more signs to empty waiting area. No receptionists there either. Ultimately still arrived a few minutes early. Obnoxiously, the 'turn cell phones off' signs are more clearly marked than the multiple, multiple, homemade signs with all-caps, red, bold, italic, underlined, and highlighter-marked text to go here, sit here, wait here, queue here, pay here. The building is dated, cluttered, and unprofessional inside, and papered with homemade signs instead of helpful staff. In fact, the staff you do see will not interact unless you (wait in line to) initiate, and then you might just get pointed to a different line or have a sign's text regurgitated back at you. No welcomes, no smiles. The waiting room had no magazines, but did feature a large television--that only played advertisements. Gratefully, an assistant called me back quickly, which was the first actual person who spoke to me. I inquired about the potential wait, and referenced these Yelp reviews. She seemed startled and indicated she had noooo idea they are so poorly reviewed (ha). As my exam began, she conspicuously wiped off chin bar of eye equipment with alcohol swab as I sat, saying they normally do it after a patient but that she likes to do it just prior to new patient. My previous opticians have had disposable tissues on that area. We had to wait on the wet alcohol to dry. Room was disorganized with spare equipment stacked about and more signs (lol). Sketchy. Did not offer to do digital scan vs eye dilation drops. When I inquired, they convinced me that dilation was way better since I had only done digital for last several years. After dilation, the assistant noted that other offices have instant reversal drops, but not this office. Gee thanks. In hindsight, the photo equipment was on the first floor, so maybe it was just inconvenient for them or was not their billable, or both. The actual optometrist, Dr. Kim, was efficient, thorough, and provided great detail into my exam, especially as it pertains to my medical history. That was really great. Would recommend him, for sure. They did provide a printed copy of my Rx, but I did ask for it at the beginning, so I am not sure they would if you didn't think to ask. The second star is purely for my interaction with the doctor. Otherwise this would be a one-star review. Back downstairs, follow more signs to go up, pay here, etc. found my way to frames sales, had to back up and deal with another self-check in terminal. Found a pair of beautiful frames I loved (Prada) within the first 3-4 I tried, which was awesome. Helped right away by a sales gal, who helpfully provided the measurement numbers and info that I need to order more frames online (e.g., pupillary distance, seg height). However, when it came time to pay, it turns out she had automatically added a $180 premium Crizal coating, and $35 edge polishing to my lenses without mention, discussion, or option! With insurance, and after ditching the coating and unnecessary edge polish (but still with glare reduction), my glasses were almost $800, which is 50% off the total (transition bifocals, high-index lenses, premium frames). Absolutely gobsmacked they would tack on $200 of extras without even a mention. The sales person didn't even pretend to appear guilty or apologetic. Additionally, I specifically asked if there was an insurance policy automatically added on as well, but in hindsight I never really got a straight answer and my receipt is not itemized. Finally, they will not book multiple family members on the same day, which is frustrating and inconvenient. Yikes, yikes, yikes. This is easily the least customer-centric medical practice I have ever used; I won't be back next year.

    Dr. Patel and staff was wonderful!!! Have had problems with the clarity and sharpness of my…read morecontact lenses and Dr. Patel worked her magic and I have not seen this well in years...Very good experience!!!!

    Many thoughts so I will summarize:…read more PRIMARILY: DO NOT USE THIS PRACTICE!!! The doctors may be good but everything else is a train wreck. At the suggestion of the doctor's surgical coordinator I changed my health insurance, not an easy process, to allow "In Network" care. After a few visits preparing for Cataract surgery I was told I needed a referral from a PCP. Yes, that is common but I discussed with the same surgical coordinator and then it became an issue. More exams...eye measurements, pre op, paperwork, upgraded laser payment, etc...and I had a PCP provide a referral. The original surgery date had been rescheduled due to the insurance issue partly to blame on the surgical coordinator. After confirming a final appointment with the practice prior to surgery the surgical coordinator informed me by phone, the day before, that all that was necessary was to resign the paperwork. On the day of the appointment I arrived at the designated appointment time, checked in, and waited to be called. Thirty five minutes later I asked the front desk the status. At that point they physically took my chart to "the back" to see what was happening. Another ten minutes passed and I asked again as to the status of my appointment to sign papers. A tech arrived and the first words were "Can we reschedule for four days in the future". The surgery was scheduled for nine days from the that day. I informed her that I would be out of town until the day before surgery. I asked to speak to the Practice Manager. I was summoned to her office and asked her what was happening with my appointment. She stated she did not know. I asked how she could not know after four staff members had been involved. She had no explanation. I CANNOT trust my vision to a doctor's practice that does "NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING". Concerned, I immediately asked to cancel the procedure after five visits requiring approximately four hours of my in office time not to mention commute time, insurance time, and waiting time. When I requested a refund of the $2100.00 that I prepaid for the upgraded laser for the procedure. The Practice Manager stated it was not available. I left the office. When I reached my vehicle the surgical coordinator called and asked for me to return. The surgical coordinator claimed the issue that day was due to insurance. Everything was in order per the phone call surgical coordinator the prior day explicitly confirming all insurance was filed, confirming coverage, and stated that signing updated information was all that was needed. I informed the surgical coordinator that I cannot trust the doctor's practice given the MANY issues. Procedure cancelled. DO NOT USE THIS PRACTICE!!!
