First impression was ok. I waited in the waiting room for about 35 minutes before being called back with the nurse to do some tests. I do not remember her name but she was very pleasant. She kept smiling and we cracked some jokes. Definitely a good employee. Then off to see the Dr. No wait time there she was waiting outside the door to come in an see me. The exam went well. No issues with my eyes at all she stated. So off to go pick out my glasses and contacts....This was the worst experience I have have had in a very long time.
First of all. When I was told I was not able to order the frames I picked out (not my insurance frames, I got that no problem there) but asked if there was a pair that was similar for sale Chris look confused. Walked around a little bit then I said just let me see the ones my insurance offers. Not impressed (no fault of theirs) SO Ok what If if just put the lenses in these frames that i already own. Chris was not on board with that because the frames are a few years old and if they break while putting in the new lenses they are not responsible..Great. Ok not doing that. So i sucked it up and picked a pair of insurance frames. My eyes are bad so I ALWAYS get my lenses shaved down (I pay for that out of pocket). Chris again confused...looks at the insurance papers and said nope you cant pay for that the insurance wont let you. (called my insurance company and i absolutely could have paid for that out of pocket) Starting to get real irritated. I said forget it I don't want the frames or lenses. Lets talk contacts. I wear the night and days (for the last 5 years) again...ummmm well i will have to get approval from the dr. oh but im not going to do that today, Hopefully by Monday (Dr is in the office...why cant you go ask now?) So for the time being 2 week disposables it is. Sign this fitting fee agreement and then he went to get the contacts. Never had me put them in at the office. Did not recheck to make sure the curves of the eye were correct with the contacts they picked out (which is probably why they fall out way to easy) Fine off I go. Come Tuesday the following week I am not told that I am not cleared for Night and Days. According to the Dr my eyes are not fit for that (mind you we had a great exam with no concerns) and that she wrote me a scrip for allergy drops. I Never left with a script. I don,t have allergies. And they wont review this Chris just sounded confused again. So now I want a refund for the fitting fee. You didn't fit anything, He says come in Friday. Never heard anything from Tuesday to Friday. Fitting fee refund denied. Did they tell you. Umm nope sure didn't. Now I have been trying to call Sally for the past 3 days at the Williamsville office and she is never available. Mail box is full and not returning my phone call as I am leaving messages with the receptionist. I will NOT recommend this place to anyone. I will never go back again. Back to my other Dr and paying for everything out of pocket. Extremely frustrated. Also they billed my insurance for the frames and lenses that I did not get. They said the bill was adjusted. I asked to receive a copy and have yet to receive that in the mail. read more
