The mercy ethic doesn't seem to apply to them so they constantly threaten those of us who live on disability or social security (nearly all of their patients) with being sent to collections if we don't pay just exactly when they want in spite of the fact that we are paying on the bill. Not only that, but they seem to enjoy overbooking so you will go in on time and wait for a good 2 hours before you get your 5 seconds of time with the doctor. Very poor. None of this is an exaggeration, by the way. I recommend you go anywhere else if you can.

During the visit, Dr. k. Patrick an optometrist specializing with pediatrics, was going over…read moreprotocol before completing the last part of the exam. At this point she explained and I will include the excerpt from patient review summary: " Asked mother to call the office if the patient is having trouble wearing the rx full time by ~2 weeks for temporary cycloplegic drops to encourage pt to wear the prescription. This was the point at which the pt's mother stated she would not do drops at home if he needed them as she considers that to be "torture to children" even if he was having trouble adapting to the prescription. I stressed the importance of the pt wearing the spectacles full time for best chance at reversing the amblyopia (permanent vision loss) and for ocular protection of the left eye." There are a few things wrong with this statement that makes it falsifying documentation. I know it's 2 years later and I'm still waiting on a call and resolution for this. But back to the gist: when told the above my response and I quote (pulling it from follow up email dated the same date as this summary) "why would I want to do this, it seems torturous to a child, and can't that negatively effect his eyesight for long term use?" She then went on about how it would be negligible for me not to do this. I followed with "there are other ways to promote a child to wear glasses that doesn't involve removing more of their already limited vision. I will see someone else. You're done with Jay today. Do not touch him again. I want you to leave and I plan to report this." I have dug into it and here is the ethical consideration to the impact of eyesight for children with using those dilation drops: " Non-maleficence: This principle requires healthcare providers to do no harm. Using cycloplegic drops in patients without a clear clinical indication to simply "encourage" compliance with spectacle wear could be considered a violation of this principle due to the potential side effects and discomfort." " Beneficence: This principle obliges healthcare providers to act in the best interests of their patients. While cycloplegia can be beneficial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, using it solely for compliance purposes raises questions about whether it truly aligns with the patient's best interests given the potential drawbacks." And lastly " Using cycloplegic drops solely to "encourage" spectacle wear is generally not ethically justifiable due to the potential harm, infringement on patient autonomy, and the availability of more appropriate methods to promote compliance. Cycloplegia is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool that should be reserved for cases where there's a clear clinical indication, and its use should always involve a thorough discussion of risks and benefits with the patient or their guardians." In the entire visit no clear reason other than keep the glasses on was given. I as a mother do not trust her with my child. If you see her I suggest you go elsewhere.

If, like some of the negative reviewers on this listing, you are shopping for a bargain, you should look elsewhere. As far as optometry services are concerned, I've clearly thrown my lot in with the former group, having been a customer here for three consecutive years. And it's not hard to see why: the staff run one of the tightest ships I've ever seen, with a wait time that never exceeds 10 minutes, and the wait itself is made more pleasant than usual by the comfortable surroundings of their visually impressive offices. That said, I have never purchased frames from their opticians for precisely the reasons mentioned by other reviewers - the same quality is available elsewhere at a far lower price. That holds true for contacts as well, BUT if you need some in a pinch, there's a good chance Vision Clinic will have them in stock, whereas their competitors often have to order them, which obviously means more waiting. It's a truism of our time that convenience and pleasant experiences often come at a premium, and that axiom certainly holds true for Vision Clinic. But on balance, I think you'll find that the organization's positive traits are worth their costs in the end.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE my doctor that I see for myself as an adult but I think it's ridiculous that the staff didn't know how to work with my child. I literally had to take charge of the appt because they asked my daughter what letter is this? SHE JUST TURNED 3. Sweetie, can you tell me what this line is?? Nope, I literally took control and said can you show them where the birds are, the cake, etc. they tried taking pictures of her eyes and couldn't even do that. This appt didn't look remotely close to previous appts I have been at. I suggested multiple times, we can move forward with dilating her eyes but they weren't comfortable making her more upset. On top of that, we were referred to another doctor within the same office but didn't give the option to schedule. I had to call back and schedule. Why was I told that they could take care of the appt and walked out feeling so frustrated and upset. I still had to pay for her visit and we couldn't even get answers. Now to move forward with another Dr in the office and it's a "medical" visit and I have to pay more again when I should have gone to her in the first place. I'll come back as a patient because i love the doctor that I see but I have such a bad taste about how these tests went and how I took charge of the appt because they didn't know how to talk to my child to get the answers they need.
