    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. Nelson was great with treatment of my husband. The staff, not so great. Many phone calls,…read moreemails and faxes since March 23rd, to have a ONE page insurance claim form completed. It is now May 5th. My husband cannot collect his insurance without this form. Every time I call I am told that it will be done that day, and it's not. They tell me someone will call me back, and they don't. I understand that offices get busy but it has been well over a month now.

    my 86 year old dad was kept waiting for 3 hours. as much as I begged to expedite the staff was…read moreclueless and while people are sitting in agony in the waiting room the staff can be heard laughing loud and cracking up on their own jokes with no sensitivity whatsoever. Very unprofessional behavior. They lost us as patients and I would recommend to find other clinic because obviously they don't really care about their patients wellbeing.

    I need to warn everyone about my experience at this office, specifically with Dr. Harpeet Walia…read more It's an administrative disaster capped off with genuinely shocking behavior from the doctor himself. The back office is consistently incompetent with insurance. You'll wait months for an appointment, then wait over an hour in the waiting room, only to be told your insurance is denied because they didn't file the paperwork. They will outright tell you they did, but when you call your insurance (Aetna), you'll find either nothing was ever submitted or you received a denial because they refused to fill out the form required by state regulations and their in-network contracting agreement. Then they blame you for it. But the absolute worst part was my interaction with Dr. Walia. After a year of this, I finally brought them proof that their office had used the wrong form--for the second time. Instead of apologizing, Dr. Walia took me into a side room and completely unloaded on me. He was condescending, yelled, and treated me like a child for daring to point out their mistake. It was a total Jekyll and Hyde moment from his usual calm demeanor and was honestly shocking. And guess what? After his tantrum, they suddenly "found" the form, submitted it correctly, and everything was approved immediately. Proving the problem was them all along. The cycle just repeated at my last appointment. They tried to turn me away again stating a claim denial. When I politely asked to step to the side while I verified the situation, the staff used strong language suggesting that I was unwelcome. Upon returning home, I find that once again, they failed to use the correct form. Now I want you to let it sink in that this was a RETURN visit for a previous turn-away several weeks prior where they claimed they could not secure any of my medication for "free". It turns out I had coverage during this ENTIRE period they were giving me this line about doing me a favor because my insurance wouldn't this or that. It's shocking how you trust, and follow the narrative of the people handling their duties, implicitly, only to find out reality is totally unrelated. Why even do this? How does this even happen? Save yourself the stress. The administrative runaround is bad enough, but being verbally abused by the doctor for holding them accountable is something no patient should ever experience. I wouldn't trust them with my care, or with handling a simple insurance form.

    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.

    Love Dr Smith. He was my optometrist at Vision Savers in both Macon and Dublin. I'm not a big fan…read moreof the virtual docs although they are good too but I need for someone to physically look into the old peepers. The staff were very friendly. Price wise they are more expensive than Vision Works, America's Best, etc but they have some nice frames to choose from. I am not a difficult person so I narrowed it down to 2 with the help of the associate and got 1 because I am very disciplined. Get what I come for and nothing more.
