    The doctor's care is not the issue. Or last two visits for my 92 year old diabetic father had us…read morewaiting in the waiting room for one hour and two hours. He apologized saying there was an emergency but considering my dad's appointment took all of 5 minutes- it's really inexcusable. So many reviews here say he over books. Well this is the result. My mom even called me worried for dad cause we backed up to his lunch time- his sugar levels are the issue. Yes we carry stuff for him but 2 hour delays. No way! It's ALWAYS a 1 hour minimum wait. And I had an appointment he made me late for.

    My ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Vu at Retina Associates. They saw me the next day, which was…read morefortunate for me because it was the last day of my summer vacation from work. I did have to wait in the waiting room, but at least it was comfortable. Upon paying my co pay, they gave me a folder with bios on all the doctors - pretty impressive careers! My retina exam was very thorough, with high tech equipment, and lots of blasts of light into my eyes. In the end, there was nothing to be concerned about. Dr. Vu explained everything, and sent my results to my referring doctor. My only tip is to park on the street or in the garage kitty corner from the Montgomery Center (Both are currently under construction). You'll save money, except if arrive after five pm, them it is free.

    I've been seeing Dr Cremers dry eye specialist for about 5 years now. Due to my severe dry eye &…read moreother eye issues I have seen several ophthalmologists in last decade. She is an absolute gem. Very kind, empathetic and super knowledgeable about all possible treatments for dry eye. She is super passionate about her work (she also has dry eye disease herself so she lives it) and it shows. Her office has the most cutting edge tech I've ever seen. They are always thorough at every visit. Her staff is friendly and works very hard to make sure you are comfortable & I feel truly cared for. She always asks if she can answer any questions I might have. She is highly competent . I have had several IPL sessions & currently am undergoing amniotic membrane treatment for my dry eye which is really helping. No other doctor had even ever mentioned these treatments to me as options. Procedure post IPL involves some discomfort that is to be expected but it is very brief. Amniotic membrane placement to me is like putting in a big contact lens. Fast and pain free. You have to keep the patch on 2 days , not convenient but an excuse to rest and let the eye heal. Additional info -this office thoroughly checks insurance status w deductible etc so there have been no surprises w treatment costs. Yes there are wait times but as a medical professional myself I can tell you this is actually a good thing in the sense that means they are not rushing w their work and making sure to give each patient proper care. Timeliness can be nice but w all unexpected things that can happen in day to day often means ppl are being rushed in and out if running on time. Bring your phone or a book & be thankful you are in good hands . Thank you Dr Cremers and everyone at visionary eye for all you do for your patients. Keep up the great work. It does not go unnoticed and I have referred colleagues to you.

    NOTE: I filled my lens prescription elsewhere, so this review is just about the eye doctor…read more PROS * Staff were mostly fine * Eye doctor (when I finally saw her) did a good job CONS * Parking - Park at Java Nation or Whole Foods, buy a drink, and walk over to this location. I couldn't figure out how parking works in this area. * Clear your schedule - As other reviews have noted, speed is not their strong suit. Definitely the longest trip to an eye doctor I've had. I came in on a Fri morning, and it took them about 15 mins to get me in. Had an eye test done and then sat around for another 20 mins. Another test. Another 15 minutes before I finally see the doctor. All told it was a 1.5 hour visit for maybe 5 minutes interacting with staff. * Skip the "flip the eyelid" test. One of the young techs that worked here tried to do this and it was super uncomfortable. I don't even know if his hands were clean. He couldn't seem to do it and I couldn't get over someone jabbing their finger in my eye. He ended up just really frustrated. When I finally saw the eye doc like 45 mins later, it didn't even come up. * Masking - While waiting I sat in a crowded waiting room, nobody wearing masks, which I guess is fine now but when cold and flu seasons rolls back around ... OTHER They required two visits - They couldn't see me for both glasses and an eye doctor check (i.e. check for problems). This was supposedly due to an insurance requirement, but the incredibly slow service means I had to come back and dump another entire afternoon in a month. NOTE: You'll see a very reasonable reply from the company below this review. Please note that I haven't been back because a friend visited months later and said they had the same experience. As requested by yelp, that does not impact my review, but it did keep me from trying them again.
