    Do not waste your time coming here. This place treats you like a customer, not a patient. I have been coming here for 3 years without any issues and suddenly this year I was denied an annual eye exam without a single explanation from anyone. I asked if it was my insurance but that was not the issue as they still accept my insurance. The front desk lady, Jessica, could not explain why they abruptly canceled my appointment the day before and kept saying "the doctor will reach you." I still have not received a call back to this day. Instead, I called back twice and Jessica puts me immediately on hold for 10-15 min then hangs up the phone BOTH times. VERY inconvenient and VERY unprofessional to cancel someone's appointment without a single explanation. I am appalled at how I'm told in an email that "we will no longer be seeing you here at our office." So, just because you've been coming here for years or are a newcomer, do not trust this place as they care more about their reputation than a patient's well-being and right to an annual exam. I am a nurse and would never turn a patient away without a valid explanation as to why they are being denied the right to an exam or healthcare service. Cannot stress how important it is to not support doctors and businesses that function this way!

    I did not have to wait long, but as I did, the receptionists, Katy and Rose helped me choose new glasses.

    This place is awful. My wife is a customer here (or WAS) and recommended I make an appointment for…read moreone of our younger kids who wants to make the leap to contact lenses. The first sketchy element is that the link my wife kept sending me kept taking me to a google search with an alternate name. It appears that they do business under two different names which is kind of shady. But the big problem is that when you try to schedule an appointment on their website, it asks you to choose three different times. This is really bad because in this area many people have jobs and families and you can't just bank on some random time MAYBE being available. So I tried to call in the morning and nobody answered. I tried to call again in the afternoon after I made the appointment and again nobody answered. This was for an appointment the next day. I got two auto-texts saying "sorry we missed your call" so I replied to the texts saying I have a job and four kids and I can't be left hanging on these appointments, and this is a bad first impression after my wife recommended this place. I get a call back FIVE minutes after that text from a someone sounding like a sorority chick who just got dumped by her boyfriend. Huge attitude immediately. She's like "Those are just APPOINTMENT REQUESTS, SIR! We have ONE appointment at 7:45am tomorrow." Okay, well the appointments I thought I signed up for were 2:15, 2:30, and 2:45. So I calmly asked why the website listed 12 appointments for tomorrow and 18 for the next day if none of those were really available. And she just kept replying to everything I said by getting increasingly loud and obnoxious so I finally said, "well I guess I will go to another practice then," and before I could even say thanks and bye, she hung up on me. After this conversation, a lot of stuff is even weirder as I think about it. If the appointments are "just requests," then why were there "no requests" listed today, "12 requests" tomorrow, and "18 requests" the next day? That's totally nonsensical because if nothing is guaranteed then why list ANY times that are definitely not available??? And if you're going to list some times, why not list them all? Still the worst is just the rudeness. If your instant response to someone texting that you made a bad first impression but TRYING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION BY SETTING A FIRM APPOINTMENT is to call them back in a haughty tone, then perhaps you should not be employed in customer service. Or, maybe the front desk person was out today and I was called by a doctor. But that just makes things even worse. Anyway, imagine potentially gaining 5 new customers (the rest of my family) and instead losing one (my wife) with just one phone call! Amazing. Anyway btw I got an appointment at MyEyeDr in the Boro same day today and they were actually nice...

    Went for an eye exam. Was told that I could pay $39 extra for an exam that wasn't covered by…read moreinsurance. If I didn't pay for it, "...then we might have to dilate your eyes..." to continue the exam. I didn't appreciate the implication that I "might" require my eyes to be dilated...but that if I paid an extra $39 then I wouldn't. Doubt I'll be going back there. And it's unfortunate because I've been going there for years without this exam. Anything to make more money I guess.

    I had a very frustrating experience due to poor scheduling and lack of communication…read more My original appointment was scheduled for 5:00 PM. I received a call ahead of time asking if I could move it to 4:00 PM, which I agreed to. On the day of the appointment, I received another call asking if I could move it again to 3:20 PM. I agreed and arrived a few minutes early. By 3:30 PM, I still had not been seen, so I asked when I would be called back and did not receive a clear answer. I asked again at 3:45 PM and was given the same vague response. At 4:00 PM, I asked why I had been asked to arrive 40 minutes earlier only to wait 40 minutes past my appointment time. I was told they had an opening, but the current patient was taking longer than expected. I understand that schedules change and that delays happen in medical offices. However, the issue here was the complete lack of communication. I was left waiting with no updates or interaction for an extended period of time. Had the delay been communicated clearly, I could have made an informed decision earlier. At that point, the appointment no longer worked for my schedule, and I left. This office does not appear to value patients' time, and better communication would have made a significant difference in this experience.

Dr Carla diagnosed with me with dry eye. I was recommended to schedule for another procedure with Dr. Bermel. This procedure costs $250 out of pockets. Before I leave I was offered a variety of products such as eye masks, eye drops and omega 3 vitamins.
