Thanks to everyone who tuned in LIVE on 10/27/16 to watch my LASIK procedure and to support me…read morethrough it - I'd choose LASIK over having my teeth cleaned any day of the week :) I'm seeing & feeling terrific, and I'm so impressed with the team here ... more so than I've ever been. The little things no one else would even notice that they do to help patients through every stage and really walk the journey alongside of them, well, I've just not seen this type of incredible care in any other ophthalmology/LASIK practice - and I've been to hundreds of them across 3 countries in my previous job. Let me give you my professional history as it is relevant to this review: I started out as a certified ophthalmic assistant at age 22, specializing in refractive surgery with corneal doctors for about 5 yrs, and by age 27, I was hired by Bausch & Lomb to be a Clinical Applications specialist for the Northeast territory. Basically, I trained doctors, techs, and nurses how to use the excimer laser, the diagnostic equipment, and the microkeratome. But my job was often times comprehensive, in that some sites were just beginning, so I went through the whole laser suite/surgery center set up and flow from beginning to end with them, including first cases. Often sites had brand new staff who never had experience assisting or working up LASIK patients. Many times throughout our training position, myself, or other trainers around the country, were teaching from scratch. I did more than train as well: collected outcomes data, lectured at special meetings, devised and developed training tools, and worked with doctor consultants and engineering colleagues to optimize results and software. Within a couple of years, I became the National Training Manager for the USA. A couple years after that and I was promoted to the head of the Training & Clinical Applications Specialist department for North & South America. So to tell you that I've worked with a ton of LASIK practices, doctors, and techs/nurses is a giant understatement. I've had so much experience in the field with other practices that when I decided to hang up my travelling hat, I knew the only place I wanted to help manage was Dr. MacRae's practice, if they would have me :). Being the patient is completely different than managing the practice day to day, and until I experienced my evaluation, consent, and surgery from the other side, I truly couldn't appreciate the skill set each individual brings to the patient. My team literally asked me to critique them and let them know what they could have done better - not too many people can show that kind of vulnerability. And they weren't out to "impress" me, they treated me just as they would anyone else who came in for an appointment or surgery. The pressure was on the night I had my surgery with 30+ Optometrists in our office and many people at home watching live surgery, and not one person on staff faltered or blinked an eye - they all hosted a large group of doctors for a couple of hours before surgery (after being at work since 7:30am) in addition to teaching/explaining the procedure as it was happening...and they simply rose even higher in their quality of care, efficiency, and thoroughness. Would you feel nervous having surgery knowing the team had been working for 12 straight hours just prior? While we don't treat this way, this situation was the case for me! You would have thought I was the first case of the day. I've seen and heard these technicians and doctors talk and work with/treat thousands of patients in the last (almost) 4 years...being on the receiving end, well, wow, I couldn't be more proud of each and every one. I struggled to find even 1 thing to critique - outside of waiving a magic wand to fix my eyes, of course smile emoticon:) While I know no one is perfect, and don't expect perfection of anyone, including myself(!), they were darn close to it, and I know that with each patient who walks through our door, calls our office or emails us questions, I can, with 100% confidence, say this team we've assembled is unsurpassable in experience, skill, kindness, care, and heart.

The doctor leisurely walked in at 8:23am, said hello to the staff as he walked by then exited the waiting area. I was called in to the exam room at 8:30 am. After a brief exam by the tech, I'm still waiting to see the doctor and it's 9:10am. If patients are expected to arrive on time why are the docs permitted to walk in late? First time seeing this doc and I don't have a good feeling. Do better with your time Flaum Eye and have more respect for your patients' time.

I had a great experience with Dr. Lee at ROC Vision (in Costco)…read more It's been years since my last eye exam and I also misplaced my last prescription. ROC Vision had an easy to use website with online scheduling. I was able to schedule something for the next day. I checked in at my scheduled time and was promptly greeted by the friendly lady working the front desk. No wait, straight to some eye measurements. The whole process was efficient. Dr. Lee was pleasant and had a good bedside manner. He explained everything clearly and performed a thorough retina exam. I would definitely return. The fact that it's in a Costco, also helps. Don't forget to bring a designated driver, if you intend to get your pupils dilated.

The exam was conducted professionally, efficiently, and courteously. Dr. Lee was very good at explaining each step of the way and he demonstrated mastery of the equipment and test procedures. I chose to go with the optional retina imaging and he immediately identified a retinal tear in one of my eyes. He then sent the info over to my retina doctor (I've had a couple of retinal tears in the past) and I was able to have it repaired the next day. I consider the services of Dr. Lee to be outstanding and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an expert eye exam.

Surprisingly, they had a couple of openings that evening and told us to come right in. They only work with older children at this location ​but were quick to give us their recommendation​ for someone nearby that also takes our insurance and is great with younger kids, and then fit my husband and me in right away. The Optometrist here is probably the nicest Optometrist I've visited​, and in 30 years of wearing glasses and/or contacts, that is saying a lot. Eye exams are pretty routine and a lot of Doctors breeze on through but he was very thorough and kind. The optician asked me what styles I like and made recommendations based on what I asked him and stuck within what my insurance covered when I wanted to ​stay under that limit (I primarily wear contacts, so these glasses are replacing a much older pair with an outdated script that I only wear at home in the evenings) and did not try to upsell me. I managed to find a pair of glasses that were similar to my old pair but that I like better. Finally the woman at the front desk was amazing, not only was she super friendly and kind, but she was kind to my kids and made us feel right at home while waiting. We have definitely found our new Vision Care "home".

Based on that information, I made the appointment, waited nearly three weeks, took time off work, and drove 25 miles one way, only to be informed upon arrival that I first needed an eye exam and that they would then decide whether to schedule a visual field test approximately three weeks later. This important detail was never communicated to me when I called and clearly explained what I needed. I am extremely disappointed with this lack of communication and the inconvenience it caused.

HATE having my eyes examined, and Robert made the experience absolutely painless. He, himself, was an absolute delight, and I learned a lot about vision and eyes from him. I can't say the exam was a delight -- but that is because of ME and my issues, and certainly not him. :) His prices are reasonable, his service is superior, he accepts almost all insurances, and he absolutely takes the " unpleasantness" out of the experience. I recommend the exam he offers where he takes a digital image of the inside of your eye for $35 and emails you the image. Well worth the $$, and a unique, cutting edge experience. Not having to have eyes dilated is a definite boon!
