Lynn was very helpful and fixed them in a short time. I offered to pay, but she demurred. I was very impressed with the office staff, their helpful attitude, and the office overall looked very professional and gave excellent customer service. If I ever have another eyeglass emergency, I will definitely come here. I recommend them highly.

A feckless factory; go elsewhere. You will get charged above and beyond insurance coverage even for a full exam that was just a follow up. Rediculous. I found Timothy Johnson to be dismissive and condescending. He scoffed at my questions and was pejorative in his replies. Fuck them. Don't waste your time / money with Dr. Johnson and eye associates.

This place sucks. I have no idea why they make appointments. It's worst than a nail shop! Waited 40…read morepast my appointment time to be seen. PLUS THE ADDITIONAL 20 min they asked us to arrive before the actually appointment! And wait for a lady to read the letter things. Wait again for the lab. Waiting AGAIN in the THIRD PATIENT LOBBY, to see the doctor. Is all the in the same 10 feet apart i practically have toured the whole bottom floor by now. Still waiting .. Waited for nothing, the doctor of course talked to us for less than 5 min didn't ask if we had questions. WHILE HE WAS TALKING the nurse or assistant walked in which was very distracting she sat down and started typing on the computer Takes us to check out THERES A WAIT TO CHECK OUT Left at 5 pm on the dot you do the math for 5 min for a doctor

Not recommended. I had to pay $130 for simple eye exam that should have been completely covered by…read moremy vision insurance, because Botwin decided that they had done something "medical" rather than simple eye exam, so submitted claim to my medical insurance (which charges me deductible) instead of my vision insurance. The "medical" thing they did? Noticed I have mild cataracts, and said I don't need to do anything about them. This is the exact same thing I've been told for years by other optometrists who always submitted claim to my vision insurance, which covered the entire cost of the eye exam. Thus I had to pay $130 for them to tell me something I already knew, and that didn't need to be treated. I took this up with person at my medical insurance company, who told me that the insurance company had to go by the doctor's "code" for the claim, but that this "coding" sounded unreasonable to her, since the cataracts had already been diagnosed by another doctor, and aren't causing any problem yet. That person --- who works at the insurance company -- wondered if this was a way for an optometry practice to make more money. I don't know, but I'm not returning to Botwin again.

Husband and I have been having regular exams for many years. We have always felt that the exams…read morewere thorough and follow-up was very good. Lenses/frames are quite pricey, but of very good quality. Would like to mention Julie specifically. She has assisted me several times over the years. Last year she caught an omission in my prescription (from university) as there were not prisms noted on the prescription. She made me aware of it, I got a new Rx and then proceeded to have the glasses made correctly. That saved me a lot of money, as I did not have to have the lenses made twice. She is always so cordial, efficient and knowledgeable. I just ordered another set of lenses put into frames and the whole process was smooth as silk. Hope to work with her again.

Very helpful and efficient staff. High prices somewhat offset by my iinsurance. Very thorough exams.read more

In these unprecedented times it is important for doctors to be super vigilant. Dr. Rasmussen's…read moreoffice is taking precautions to make sure patients are safe and protected. However, more could be done. I spent half an hour waiting to be seen and after 20 minutes I stepped outside to avoid other patients browsing in the glasses area. After being admitted, I spent another hour in the exam rooms waiting to see the doctor. Staff wore masks when speaking directly to me but otherwise masks hung off ears. Physicians' offices, even eye doctors, need to be hyper vigilant.

Dr. Thibodeaux immediately identified my type, cause, and prognosis, and is helping me make sure it's handled. He's got a great "bedside manner" and explains things thoroughly. I'm really grateful. He's got hundreds of 5 star reviews on google. Don't pay any mind to the ones below which have NOTHING to do with the man himself. He's great.

The day I went for my appointment (Oct 30), their internet was down. Since then, Ive had to call…read morefor all things, including my prescription, and when ordering glasses, I had to remind them that I needed multi-focal lenses . Had I not reminded them, the prescription was only for distance. I've called multiple times to ask about a referral that apparently never happened, and I was recently informed by two different people in the office that 1) the referral was definitely sent, and 2) the referral was never sent, and 3) they have no record of my multiple calls requesting the referral be revisited. As of June 5, I still had not had contact with the referral doctor, so I called her directly. Her office said they'd never received a referral. As for billing, I charged for things my insurance would cover, but were never billed for. After many phone calls, I managed to get that straightened out. My insurance paid, but I had to make sure they billed my insurance company. In addition, I was charged an additional $50 for my prescription, on top of the eye exam. Who does that?! My sense is that this office is inept and dishonest. I advise anyone reading this to find another eye doctor.
