I've had two appointments here. The first was to get a new prescription. And it was the usual appointment. They were on time, did the usual tests and I saw the doctor within minutes. She said she wanted me to return for another test. Whole thing took about 30 minutes more or less what I'm used to.
So we arrived today at our appointment time. It was 30 minutes to be seen for the first tests, one for my peripheral vision. Then they tested my eye pressure and vision and sent me back to the waiting room to see the optometrist. And I'm still waiting. It's been 35 minutes. By the time I see the optometrist it will have been a two hour appointment which, I can most certainly say, is the longest appointment I've ever had at an optometrist in 62 years of wearing glasses. And I'm still not sure why I'm here. I'd understand if I had some kind of eye disease or process that requires extensive testing. But this? As I said I'm still not sure why I am here.
So once I'm seen it's the last time I'll come here. Don't get me wrong. The staff are nice and professional. But this is a ridiculous wait for an ordinary appointment. You'd think I was at the ER. read more
