Don't go to the optical dept on the first floor to buy glasses! 1.) The lady, Tina, told us a price for the glasses. When we questioned the amount and told her our insurance covers the lenses, she said, "oh you're sooo right!" Imagine that hassle of having overpaid!! 2.) The optician dept. is only open 2 days a week. We have been waiting 14 days for glasses! We had a 9am appointment today - one of the days they post on their door they are open at the Carmichael office - and no one was there!!! The lady was actually at the Kempsville office!! She forgot!!! We went to the a Kempsville office and were told the glasses are at the Carmichael office! 3) We are now "waiting" for this lady to call us when she gets back to the Carmichael office and locates the glasses. Our day has been hijacked by this debacle. Of all the optical retailers in our area, Griffey Eye can do better with their optician department. We love our care from Dr. Lau. But, we've learned a valuable lesson about Griffey's optical dept. Save yourself this hassle!!

I see Dr. Rappaport for glaucoma. He is excellent, caring, and I feel lucky to have him treating…read moremy vision issues. His Battlefield office management staff, however, is pathetic. Today I reported at 09:35 for a 09:50 appointment and finally saw the doctor at 11:40. During this two-hour period, I spent 3 minutes getting checked in and checking acuity and pressures. I spent another 3 minutes getting eye photos and an hour and a half waiting. This is typical for that office. When questioning the delay, much of the staff was flip, unconcerned, and/or clearly annoyed. My vision prevents me from driving so I must impose upon others for transportation, and those kind people are also adversely impacted. I see other aged patients with canes, wheelchairs, and creeping at a snail's pace and see the discomfort on their faces as they wait and wait and wait and wait. It is sad. I hear the sarcastic comments of other patients as they wait and wait. When I discussed this with Dr, Rappaport, he told me that the staff is supposed to give regular status on the wait times but I have never heard jack. Never a status, never an explanation, and God forbid, never an apology. Such a status report would at least allow the opportunity to get a refreshment or reschedule in extreme cases. Had I treated ANY of my customers with such rudeness in my business dealings I would surely be unemployed and bankrupt. This is shameful. I have witnessed other specialists resolve this situation. It COULD be fixed, but as long as the money keeps flowing in, nobody seems interested respecting very people that who are responsible for the Tidewater Eye Center existence.

At Dr…read more Robert Fox's suggestion, I ordered computer glasses to supplement my current prescription eyeglasses. Charmaine, did a fantastic job of explaining the benefits and differences between my two eye glasses and setting my expectations. From the ordering process, to the pickup, it was effortless. I even got some goodies - liquid cleaner and really good quality lens cloths. The office has a very modern design highlighting the many product lines they have. I definitely recommend Griffey eye care for all of your optical needs over any other!!
