I got to the appointment about 10 minutes early, they had all the paperwork ready for me to be filled out, and took me back into a room right on time. I was completely done about 35 minutes later. The doctor and technicians were so nice and informative. I really appreciated that they were on time and got me out quickly. I also really loved the extra touches this office had, such as coffee in the waiting areas. Little things like this are much appreciated!

My husband is longtime patient but no longer. We called to schedule appointment this morning and…read moretalked with Freadrick who was beyond rude and unprofessional. We were put on hold several times. He finally came back to the phone asking same questions we had answered before the hold. The real problem was Fredrick's attitude when we asked what days were available. He stated days yet one was on Saturday so my husband simply asked were they now open Saturday. This apparently caused Fredrick to get very angry and he snapped/yelled at us. At that point we said to just forget the appointment we were not going to accept his rudeness. We called back leaving a message for a supervisor to call us back but we never got a return call. Beware of Quinn's staff and the owners not caring enough to return a call of client with a problem.

Dr. Robert Johnson - he is one of the best eye doctors I have been to in years, literally. I've had…read moreglasses since the age of 14, and in my 45 years he honestly ranks as one of the best I've ever seen. He explained how my eyes work, why I might be having the issues I'm having, gave me solid suggestions to help my issues, and gave me an excellent prescription. Where other doctors have recently told me I'd want Progressive lenses, Dr. Johnson explained why I didn't need them YET, and benchmarks of when I would need them (including vision tests for myself and career changes). He encouraged me to get bifocals if I felt I needed them, but also explained where I'd see better with staying in single lenses. I was duly impressed with Dr. Johnson and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Also, his office staff was personable and helpful. I dealt with two ladies, and one was exceptional in helping me find just the right frames, but not overselling. It is refreshing to find a business like this.

As an example: a number of years ago, I walked into his former office because I had mysteriously lost central vision in one of my eyes. I had to walk to his office because my sight was shaky at best. Within 5 minutes of his examining me, he left the examining room briefly, returned and said, "You are coming with me." He escorted me to his car, drove me to a retinal specialist who returned to his office after hours, and made possible for me to have my eyes thoroughly examined. I was diagnosed with WMD, and Dr. Johnson's quick work saved my sight. The Eyecare Express team is kind and very responsive to requests. We cannot imagine being patients at any other place in Gainesville.

They have new equipment to do the examinations, but Dr. Starling still wants to put the personal touch into play and get a good look inside your eyes even after all of the electronic gadgetry has done their work. I have never had an unpleasant experience here. They are professional and get the job done. The only issue I had this time around was that, as with all doctor offices, patients are requested to arrive fifteen minutes prior to their appointment. Well, my appointment was at 1pm, but they were having an office meeting from 12pm to 1pm that day, and the front door was locked up tight, so I had to sit outside waiting in the 90 degree Florida sun (I ride a motorcycle... no relief from the sun by using air conditioning!) until the opened promptly at 1pm.

Pay attention to your credit card charges/statements and random charges being submitted to your health insurance without patients approval and authorization. 3/28/2025 - First billing scam/issue. Had appointment on 3/28/25, eye where dilated by dr., was incorrectly billed and credit card over charged. Used my VSP vision insurance, w/ copay $10. Dr office billed a subtotal of $50 for 3 line items. My credit card was charged $120.00. Dr ended 3/28 appointment early and requested a follow up refraction appointment one month later. Dr. Office refunded $120 back to credit card. And then charged my credit card $60 even though invoice subtotal was $50. Patient paid $60 in full at time of service. 04/28/2025 - Second billing scam/issue. Had appointment on 4/28/25 with Dr. Starlings for the 3/28 appointment she ended and then requested a follow up exam and refraction. On 04/28/2025 Dr. Starling completed refraction, new contact rx issued, new and trail contacts ordered. Dr was fully paid at time of service. On 4//29 one day after my appointment, Dr. Starling dropped me as a patient! WTF, what horrible service and experience. Next Dr. Starling, canceled the new contact rx she wrote the previous day, cancels my trial contacts she ordered, and has her front desk tell me that they are refunding for the services they rendered. I questioned and complained that the 4/28/25 $45 copay was a second copay being charged for the first visit on 3/28 which Dr. already collected the copay when processed under VSP. Early on 04/29, I spoke with Lauren from Dr. office about 04/28 charges. At that time I asked Lauren if my VSP insurance was listed and billed. Lauren confirmed yes it was for 3/28 DOS charges. I asked Lauren if my Florida Blue Insurance was listed on my account profile. Lauren lied to me telling me no. I advised Lauren my VSP is the only insurance Im using and should be the only instance listed. I asked her to please remove my health insurance information from their system if listed. Next, Lauren said my health insurance wasn't billed for 04/29/25 DOS charges. According to my health insurance, Dr Starlings office billed my health insurance $80 of my copay 04/28 and then billed me $45 as patient responsibility. Why am I and my health Insurance being charged a second co-pay on a secondary follow appointment and services originally postponed by Dr Starling on 03/28/2025 until 04/28/2025?

They have a pano cam to get photos which visualize the retina so a dilated eye exam wasn't needed! Eric at the front also helped me with frames, as did the 2 super techs in the back who did my pre-screen vision exams and helped me with getting the contact lenses in successfully.
