LOVED Dr. Burt, however the office and the retail section's customer service is subpar at best…read more It's been one thing after another with the office staff- lack of customer service, not answering emails or returning calls. My favorite was Dr Burt was sick- cool, it happens we are humans. I get a text at 7 AM, fine, I call back after they left a message saying they had a spot for me. Male receptionist with an accent tells me he sees no spots then hangs up. I call back and ask to speak with Christina Pittinger the office manager. "I have no idea who you talked to or where they are but I have an appointment for you", alright, where's the ownership/apology/accountability piece. I had been waiting for two months to get in so fine, I'll be there. Show up, only to be guided through the office by three different people who had the personalities of wet dry wall. Dr Burt comes in and blows me away with his care, the amount of time he spent with me and him taking the time to educate me. I go to the retail selection, it wasn't great- selection was very synonymous and not for the fun or funky. The young lady was kind, spent the time to hear me and found two other color ways in the frames I settled on. I'm told it will be 7-10 days. Cool! I had work travel and had to buy a new phone amongst all of it so I call the office to check on the status. Paula, answers the phone. Paula is the "that's nice/bless your heart" kinda gal. Which fine. I start to explain who I am and asking for an update. She cuts me off and starts talking over me exclaiming that it hasn't been 10 days. When I start to explain I was told 7-10. She cuts me off with "we recently changed and it must be old habits or you didn't hear properly". Ma'am as someone who works exclusively in customer service it's all about ownership and accountability. As soon as I open my mouth to respond- she hangs up. I call back and get the sweet baby angel who helped with my eye wear! I feel hope! Then have to wait for Paula again, who is standing ten toes deep with no accountability for her office. Then says it's only been a week. I explain that if she had listened she would know I had been traveling and was told 7-10 days and wanting to be sure I didn't miss anything but she had hung up. She stated she was trying to be helpful and I was being rude. I explained she wasn't actively listening and she was being rude she just didn't want to hear what I was saying. I also explained this is why the reviews on yelp and google as well as social media looks the way it does. Then she hmmmpf me. I will be calling to follow up about her behavior on the phone with me but I guarantee the same office manager who talked to me previously when I was told there was no appointment is going to say no Paula works there or she has no idea who I am talking about. I'll go back for Dr Burt but moving forward I am taking my eye wear dollars to Sally's Optical Secrets in Charlotte.

I came in with a pair of 10 year old glasses. They pulled the prescription off of these glasses…read moreand asked if I felt like that prescription was working for me. I said, "I guess so." When the doctor came in, he pulled up my old glasses prescription on the phoropter. Said, "read this chart." I read it. He said, "Ok that's good" and then he left the room. When the assistant came in I asked, "Is that it? He didn't examine my eyes." She said, "Oh yes. He's really fast." And that was it. I was stunned. I didn't even know his name. I had to ask. It was Dr. Colletto. He didn't introduce himself or say hello or anything. He was in the room less than 5 minutes.

Honestly, I was treated very wonderfully by the staff and by Dr. Colletto! They were all caring and understanding especially with it being so cold outside this morning that I was shaking, and my GPS was of no help (you have to love Siri). Everyone there was kind, attentive, and very friendly. I didn't wait long to get taken back to get tests before Dr. Colletto came in and they were busy! Keep in mind for some of the negative reviews just because your appointment is scheduled for a certain time, doesn't always mean you get in at that exact minute. No type of doctor gets right in at the exact minute. I don't understand the negative reviews, because I found my new optometrist and I won't be changing! Honestly, it was a 10/10 experience for me or should I say 20/20?

I called right back and told her to not even worry about it. I thought this would be an awesome place to go being as though they have 5 stars but I guess not I don't even want to be bothered with them!

Let me preface my review with a little background. I have been wearing eye glasses since I was 3…read moreyears old, and I am now 65. So this review comes after a lifetime of experience with eye professionals and opticians. I have never been so satisfied with an eye doctor, optician, or office. First, the professionalism, depth of care, and individual attention are unsurpassed. Dr. Foust spends a great deal of time making absolutely certain about the health of the eyes and about the corrective prescription. If you like learning more about your eyes, their care, and the science behind the procedures, this is where you want to be. I learned more about my eyes, about undiscovered issues, and about the eye care profession in one visit than I learned in all my previous visits combined. This past weekend I had a fall and started having some retinal issues with one eye. Once I checked out the symptoms and found I needed to have a doctor look at my eye, I called Dr. Foust's office, and they got me in extremely quickly. Dr. Foust conducted a thorough exam, explained my symptoms, gave me instructions for care, and helped me understand what to look for in case my symptoms worsened. Again, he also provided a wealth of background and scientific information to help me understand more deeply. It doesn't hurt that he is friendly, welcoming, and patient. The optician, Robert McBee, is just as amazing! I have a wide head, and searching for frames is always stressful and frustrating. Robert took one look at me, picked out 4 frames that were lovely and fit my head comfortably. That's how well he knows his stock and his clients. He also does all the jobs of an optical shop - no assistants that might make errors or sell you the wrong frame. He fit the frame and lenses to my prescription carefully before he ordered the glasses. His philosophy is that when you pick up your glasses, they should perfectly fit your face and eyes without adjustment - and they did! His knowledge of lens technology is amazing, and I left the appointment with a great deal of information. I will continue to use this business for the rest of my life!

This took forever. They then sat me down for the vision test. It's done via video call with someone not even there. It took forever to get her on and there was a bit of a language barrier. I just hoped for the best that she got my prescription correct. After I got home, I realized I was overcharged. I was told I would get a call back and never did, I emailed and they tried to explain why I wasn't overcharged but it makes no sense which makes me think I was scammed. I even reached out to corporate with no luck. The glasses are fine but the deals you see online are misleading and I spent so much more than expected.

Update , June 2025. I just realized that the owner responded to my original review. Here's my…read moreupdated and response: Rebuttal to Dr. Dutson: Dr. Dutson, I am absolutely a former patient of your practice, and I stand by every word of my review. It's disappointing to see you respond not by addressing the concerns I raised, but by questioning whether I was ever a patient at all. That's not only false--it's a deflection from the real issue: I paid for new designer frames and was given used/demo ones from your display wall. I wasn't even provided the proper designer case they normally come with, just a generic one that didn't fit properly. That is not acceptable, and it certainly isn't ethical. You claim to have searched your patient database but couldn't verify me--yet somehow you sent me a private message on Yelp with direct contact info. That doesn't align. You also claim I would have responded if I were a real patient. I did not respond because I already attempted to contact your office directly before ever posting a review, and I was ignored. Only after leaving honest public feedback did I receive any acknowledgment. This pattern of dismissing concerns and redirecting the narrative is exactly what motivated me to leave a review. My intent was not to harm your business, but to protect future patients from the experience I had. That is the purpose of reviews. I hope you will take accountability rather than attempting to discredit dissatisfied patients. Charlotte.

This office refused unless I scheduled and paid for another appointment I do not need. They lost my entire household as patients today. Then I asked for my medical records so I could take my care somewhere that actually respects patients. They wanted $35 per chart and tried to pressure me into paying over the phone. When I said I needed the records today, the response from Haley was no promises, maybe 24 hours. Then the office manager bumped it to 48. Medical records belong to the patient. Charging predatory fees and slow-walking the release when someone is trying to leave your practice tells you everything about how this office operates. The DMV form refusal is a billing strategy dressed up as policy. Find a provider who is not running their front desk like a toll booth.
