I have been going to this office for about 4-5 years, and I absolutely love the staff and Dr…read more Ratty. However, I had a disappointing experience today. I went in hoping to shop for glasses and arrived at 4:04 pm. The office closes at 4:45 pm. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted as usual and instead felt dismissed. When I was finally helped, the receptionist, immediately told me that I could no longer place an order and that I should have arrived by 4:00 pm to do so. I work until 4:00 pm and came as quickly as I could. I had never been informed of this policy before, and the way it was communicated felt very rude. I would have been much more understanding if the situation had been explained politely and if I had at least been invited to browse frames for a future purchase. Instead, I had to ask if I could at least look around, and I was told that no one could help me but that I could look if I wanted. The interaction made me feel like I was inconveniencing her, so I ultimately chose to leave. This experience was very upsetting because I have always had positive experiences at this office. This review does not reflect the rest of the staff or Dr. Ratty, but rather the way this situation and policy were communicated to me.

I started going to Dr. Ratty since I was a child. Continued going under my own insurance and also…read morebrought my 2 children there. About 2 years ago I tried making an appointment for me and my 2 children to all be seen "same day" as I live out of town, im a single mom and work full time. They refused and i asked management if they could make an exception and they said no that was their policy. At that time I let them know I was going to try and look for another place to accommodate my current needs. Fast forward to this year I called just to make an appointment for myself and was told I was put on a do not service customer list Reason Being: we can not accommodate you and your 2 children during an appointment. I let them know I didn't need to schedule 2 other appointments, they continued to deny service for reasons completely unknown to me. I've always purchased glasses/ contacts from this business for my family, and also drive family out here for their appointments. I love dr. Ratty his service has always been great. It's unfortunate that a business I've been apart of for many many years doesn't seem to care for the customer if it's inconvenient for them and you don't know it until it happens to you.

All my questions were answered throughly, it was great professional experience. I didn't have time this visit to pick out frames from their large selection, but I will return soon. The billing department, was just as professional and friendly as all the other staff. Southwest eye care is a must stop for all your vision needs.

Unfortunately, my experience with the lens/optical department has been the complete opposite. The optical department's customer service and communication are extremely poor. Information given at the time of ordering glasses often changes later, and I've been told one thing in person only to be told something completely different afterward. It feels very disorganized, and there seems to be little to no communication between the optical staff, reception, and doctors. As a patient, that makes the process frustrating and confusing. The optical and lense department are dishonest. The frames that are completely covered by insurance are not clearly displayed and are hidden from view, while the more expensive frames are front and center. This makes it difficult to know what options are actually covered and creates pressure to choose higher-priced frames that insurance does not fully cover. As a result, patients often end up paying $100-$300 out of pocket for glasses that were assumed to be covered. Greater transparency and clearer communication about covered options would make a big difference for patients. It's disappointing because the doctors themselves are wonderful. I would happily continue seeing them, but I truly wish I could take my prescription elsewhere for glasses. I hope the optical department improves its transparency, communication, and customer service, because it does not currently reflect the quality of the medical care provided by the doctors.

We have worked with Jerry every single time and he has always gone above and beyond. It can be difficult to fit young children with new frames but we have had no issues and a fantastic experience each time. I should have written a review years ago but am just now getting to it. The staff that assisted us today were Jerry, Alexi, and Noe (not sure how to spell that). They went out of their way to show my kids the ins and outs of their glasses, it was greatly appreciated. Other times that we've gone over the years, every single staff member was extremely helpful and amazing with our kids. I recommend this store to everyone I know and will continue to do so. We love this store, thank you to all employees!
