I called this office at 10:22 because I had an unexpected eye emergency and my regular eye doctor was closed. Since this office is close to where I live, I was hoping it would be a helpful option.
Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk was very disappointing. The receptionist was not warm or welcoming and had a sharp tone during the entire interaction. My appointment was at 11:00, and I arrived at 11:07 because of unexpected traffic. I also had my young son with me. I explained the situation, but I was turned away and told I was late. I understand offices have schedules, but most medical providers offer at least a small grace period, especially when someone is dealing with an urgent issue.
What made the experience more upsetting was that the waiting area appeared completely empty when I arrived, yet I was told all of the rooms were filled. The interaction did not feel compassionate or patient-centered. I even told her she should lead with kindness, because the way she handled the situation felt unnecessarily cold.
She offered a possible Saturday appointment, but after that experience, I would not feel comfortable returning or giving this office my business. I left feeling dismissed and unsupported during a moment when I needed help. Based on this experience, I would not recommend going here unless you are prepared to be there exactly on time with no flexibility and not the warmest staff. read more
