When I found out Lynn is managing this practice, I had to warn other people about her. I heard the main doctor is great here, but if she is the helper for the doctor, I would be careful. She talks about things she doesn't know anything about because she thinks she is so smart and above the doctors and will tell you things that are incorrect. She would argue with you because she thinks she knows better than the patient or their family members. It is so dangerous, I had to take my father away from the previous clinic that she worked at because of this assistant. She would say things that would contradict the doctor because she "thought" the doctor was not 100% right about my father's glaucoma care. She even said my father had cataracts before the doctor even said anything! If she is training the people working here, I would be very cautious about the information they give you that isn't from the doctor directly.

Dr. Takagi certainly has sufficient training to perform the necessary procedures required in his…read morepractice, but he lacks the thoroughness in his exams. Taking patients in and getting them out quickly is a habit of his and I think he leaves patients feeling unserved. I was his patient 2+ years and while he did a good job removing my cataracts, he fell short in other aspects of my care. He is personally abrupt, seemingly rushed and overly short on guidance to patients. I have witnessed this as his office exam rooms have no doors. So many of his patients are elderly and need extra time and care. I believe on a good day, Dr. Takagi enjoys his work, but I have seen him seemingly miserable on several occasions. It's too bad because he has a wonderful staff and a beautiful office. Respectfully submitted, Karen Lynch

Instead of taking it seriously, he said he didn't see it happen during the visit and noted that it wasn't an issue.

They left a voicemail and told me that I can call back if I have problems. No confirmation or anything. Someone should tell them theyre not the only one in this business. There are plenty of eyecare places to choose from around this area. What a horrible business. No wonder there are so many bad reviews within the last year.

Since October, I have been waiting for…read morea pair of eyeglasses, and the experience has been nothing but frustrating and disorganized. Initially, the optometrist made an error with my prescription, requiring me to return two weeks later for a reevaluation. I had purchased my own frames out of pocket and gave them to the office to insert the lenses. After that visit, I waited weeks for the glasses to arrive, and by the end of November, there was still no sign of them. In December, I was told the glasses had finally shipped, only to be informed later that UPS had "lost" the shipment -- including the frames I personally paid for. Because of this, I had to return yet again for another fitting about three weeks ago. I was assured the new glasses would be shipped directly to my home. Unsurprisingly, they never arrived. When I called last week, I was told there was an issue with their lab and that the glasses would be shipped as soon as possible. When I called again yesterday, I was told they were still at the lab but completed and would be shipped. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. A staff member told me a manager would call me back, but I never received a call. This has been months of delays, poor communication, repeated mistakes, and zero accountability. If you value your time, money, and sanity, save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere.

It did not occur to me to check online reviews of a physician but after my experience with Dr. Samuel Seto, I checked YELP and found numerous reviews commenting on his rudeness. That told me that it wasn't just that he was having an 'off day', or that it was me, but that this behavior is typical for him. Check the YELP reviews for Dr. Samuel Seto as well as for Eye Clinic of Edmonds. I have been having eye exams for decades and this exam to determine the prescription for eyeglasses did not go well. I answered each question about which object was clearer - #1 or #2, to the best of my ability based on what I was seeing. But, for some reason, the results were conflicting and not clear. I was just calling it as I saw it. This required a second appointment. There was no mention that I would be charged twice. I pointed this out to them after getting the invoice but they would not reconsider the charge. So, I paid twice for the refraction exam. When I was unable to answer specific questions about an eye procedure I had 25 years ago, Dr. Samuel Seto became rude to me. He was also rude, to the point of raising his voice, when the results of my refraction exam were not conclusive. When I first made the appointment, I asked if they accepted my insurance plan and if they were in-network and was told they did and they were in-network. When I arrived for my first appointment, I presented my insurance card and was told they accepted that insurance. They submitted the claim for the two refraction exams (which is not covered by my insurance) as well as the complete eye exam. This claim was denied. While a complete eye exam IS covered by my insurance, I was told that the doctor was not in-network. It appears my insurance carrier contracts out vision care to another entity. It took numerous phone calls, emails and texts between me, Dr. Seto's office and my insurance company to resolve this. Eight months later, the insurance covered the expense. Just prior to my second appointment for the refraction exam, I texted the office to ask if Dr. Seto could check my eye, while I would be in for my appointment, because I felt there might be a foreign object in my eye. I was told, via text, that yes, he could check my eye. While in my appointment, I asked Dr. Seto about checking my eye for a foreign object and he had no idea that I had requested this. He was visibly annoyed and called in the staff member responsible to ask if this was true. There was obviously lack of communication between Dr. Seto and his staff. I also found communication with staff to be difficult. Most of the time when I tried calling the office, it would go directly to voicemail. I would then almost immediately receive a text from them. There are positive reviews for Dr. Samuel Seto on YELP. However, when I see the same complaints from different people, from different points in time, that tells me something.

They also are real enough to even laugh with you and still be professional. I didn't feel rushed, and I was able to understand the logic of why my particular procedure would be done and why. (Past experience this same situation at NWeye came up, now with this hindsight, the very curt Dr. Did not explain to me WHY she wanted to start with a particular eye first. I felt frusterated, unheard and confused, so i did not have the procedure done, 6 years ago.) I was not upsold anything at Edmonds/Harman eye clinic that I wouldn't need, in fact It was explained that I shouldn't get the most expensive choice i wanted bc it in reality wouldnt make enough of an impact for my sight. So, grateful for that! Saved over 4k out of pocket! Thank you. I haven't had my procedures done yet, but now I am walking into this feeling confident and excited now.

I filled intake form(s) out before arrival and the 10 minute pre-appointment check-in time held true (I was few minutes early to that and the 10 minutes was fine). The eye exam was quick and pupil dilation had two different methodologies to choose from, one with drops and one with a scan/picture that cost a little more. I opted for the camera and even got to see the pictures of my eyes, not sure if I had seen any in this capacity before. Ordering a new pair of glasses also went smoothly and I was happy to find a number of options in my budget ballpark figure and style preferences. The wait time was approximated at about 2 to 3 weeks and they were ready about 8 days later (I picked them up about the 9 days later mark). Workers I interacted with via the phone and in-office were all friendly and professional. The location of the business was calm and parking relatively easy to navigate both of my times coming in.

Lexie and Sue were understanding when I didn't bring all the paperwork they needed. Thank goodness they reminded me about it on my way out the door. I was so happy when I left, I could have well forgotten that minor detail. Michelle explained and conducted various tests and measurements in a friendly, professional manner. Then, on to the exam with Dr. Gill. He's led this practice for about three years. I really appreciated his pace during the exam, intuitively responding to my uncertain silences when asked "1 or 2?" by simply switching back/asking again. I LOVED not having to ask to see 1 and 2 again, especially when I needed him to cycle back 2 or 3 more times. He read the room and went with it. That kind of attunement and demeanor relaxes the patient and improves exam accuracy. I left the exam room very happy with the service and confident about the prescription he wrote. They have a wonderful selection of glasses, but none were the frames I'd seen and purchased elsewhere. I sheepishly put them on to show Julie what I had in mind, and she said "I LOVE them! You should get those!!! We can order the lenses and put them in here!" She took me from sheepish to validated and very happy in seconds. She put me, not a frame sale, first. I highly recommend Dr. Gill and his staff at Vision Plus MLT for your eye care. They're great for all the reasons listed above. BONUS: this is a VSP practice. They submit to VSP and collect the patient share at time of service, meaning there's no paperwork for you to submit later for reimbursement.
