In my several years living in this area, how have I not known this optometrist to exist?? I've been having some issues with my contact lenses, and decided to find a non-commercial optometrist to take a look at them.
I called and made an appointment with Dr. Gary Pence, who was actually very helpful and didn't push anything on me I didn't want or need. He made helpful recommendations for future contacts and helped me make an order for some new soft contacts lenses. He took the time during the fitting to teach me how to put them in and take them off, then made sure they fit properly, as well as ensure that these new contacts fix any of my prior problems. After my first appointment, Dr. Pence provided me with plenty of samples for 7 days supply of daily soft contact lenses. During my follow up, he made some adjustments before providing me with a few more samples to tide me over until my official 3 months order were delivered. I came back in a few days to pick up the order.
My only complaint was how expensive my contacts were. I'm sure it cost way more than daily contact lenses I could find anywhere else. Even so, I decided if the contacts didn't work out, he would help me more with finding new lenses if I ordered through his office.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience with Dr. Pence at Georgia Optometry Group. Dr. Pence is very experienced and has seen many situations, so is very good for when troubleshooting current problems. While it seems sketch because it's located in the Kroger shopping plaza, it's anything but shady - rather, I may prefer it to the fancy building optometrist offices. read more
