As they say it's never too late to share one's experience. Dr. Spencer Maddox saw my 4yr old…read moredaughter and told me that yes she "could" use glasses but because of her age she won't keep them on. We have found ourselves in a situation with 5 yr old that her eye "almost" crossed but now continue to have intense vision therapy in the past several years because the eye muscle struggles to bring her vision to focus - even with glasses on. Sometimes while in prayer for her vision I think back if only Dr. Maddox had prescribed glasses would her eye muscle struggle to get 20/20 vision for her. Please remember (which I learned to late here in ATL with an eye specialist) early intervention is better than later. Always get a second opinion. Make the drive to ATL.

With all due respect, this place is terrible and offers the worst service ever! When compared to…read moreother eye exams, they don't actually do anything unique for them to be so costly. This place is so awful that scheduling an appointment for the morning will have you leaving at night, so it is obvious that appointments don't even matter as much. The fact that you must spend long hours in the waiting area for whatever reason they have going on in the back is absurd. I had to wait so long that I was beginning to think about eating at the nearby restaurant basically in the same parking lot. Additionally, I should mention that the man who saw me appeared to be on lunch break himself because as he observed my eyes his hands smelt like straight onions. Overall this place is horrible and I recommend other eye groups that have their system together.

Initial scheduling GREAT! Procedure successfully completed…read more Scheduling, for follow up visits a disaster. I live 5 m from the Macon office. Knowing that my eyes would be dilated, I requested to be scheduled in Macon. On the day of my follow up appointment I arrived in a storm to be told my appointment was in Warner Robins. Apparently there is a single person who schedules. After leaving two voicemail messages for her and being placed on hold for long periods of time and randomly transferred I drove to the Macon office. I explained once again that I need the appointment to be in Macon and why. She did give me an appointment but my 3 week follow up has now turned into five weeks. This should not be this difficult. I want to stress that my Doctor and all the techs are pleasant and so is most of the front office staff. A little customer service and attention to detail goes a long way! If there are typos pin my review that's because I CAN'T see clearly and won't be able to see the doctor for another week!

Dr kept trying to update me on stuff when I just went in for a routine eye exam....

Not only that but had to wait almost a month for this appointment Downtown opticians referred me to this place because I'm on Medicaid and this was the only place that accepted my insurance. Upon arrival the black lady that was working the front desk told me that they didn't except my Medicaid and that my insurance only covered me to see a gynecologist. If that's the case then why did it pay for my eye doctor appointment? Her and her little friend that worked the front desk with her were both very snobby not only that but I get to my car and my driver's license was missing I had to walk all the way back in there to get my license that she claimed got stuck to her clipboard. And her and the other girl laughed about it. Don't go here find someone else ! Unless you want bad service and snobby receptionist.

After waiting for an hour and a half after my scheduled time to be seen Doctor Smith saw me and…read moreexamined me. He wrote a prescription and told me to come back the following Monday for him to get a quick look and told me I was good to purchase my contacts. I checked out at the front and paid $75.25, I told the receptionist the doctor asked me to return Monday and that I would be back that day to order contacts. when I showed up Monday at 12:30 (lunch) I was told that doctor smith was gone for the day. I said that's fine I'd like to purchase my contacts at which point I was told I don't think that's a good idea with out seeing the doctor. I told the lady that I was suppose to see him today and was never told to come prior to a time other than what is listed on the door for operating hours. She that's ok you can come back tomorrow; I replied with I took an hour off of work and drove 30 minutes to be here and she said I u destined would you like for me to set up a time to see the doctor tomorrow. I said no please transfer my prescription and she said she wouldn't do that until my evaluation is complete (even though the doctor said I could purchase them after he saw me a week earlier). I asked if I have paid in full and she said yes, I said then why did you charge me if the eval is not complete and she said this just how we do it. I said I have to work to pay for doctors and eye insurance and that I can't come back up here again so please issue me a refund. She issued me $55.25, and never told my why I wasn't given the full amount.
