This review is for Ophthalmology (GOSHEN location)…read more The appt was for my father, an elderly man w/ cataracts. He made the appt and told them he had cataracts. He received at least 4 reminder calls. I filled out the paperwork because he can't see well, he was seen within 10 minutes. We sat with a nurse, who asked why we were there. (It should be in the notes, but it doesn't hurt to ask.) We talk about his cataracts. She puts drops in, and then has him sit in the hallway. He has mobility issues, so it's challenging to go between these stops. We sit for maybe a minute before we go to the next room. In the room, he sits in the seat and a minute later the doctor comes in and says "I'm going to take a look in your eyes." Puts some headgear on, and looks in his eyes. The doctor says "Those are some really thick cataracts, but we can't help you here. We have to refer you to someone else." I was shocked. We went through a machine like process, for a 2 second glance, where he was dismissed in 30 seconds. I asked why, and the doctor said "He's too big for the machine that measures the cataracts. Have you tried Blah Blah (a place closer to where we live)?" I told him that our doctor referred us here, so why would we try another place? The doctor said "I don't know what machine other places use, so you may have to call around." I asked if we could at least try the machine. It measures your eyes, not your waist, so why would it not fit a person? The doctor said "No. It's in our Newburgh location". So I asked if this was the first obese person he had ever seen medically, and he said no, they turn away people all the time. I said "You can't help, and you cannot even help us enough to tell us where to go?" He said "Weschester would be your best bet, but it's far, so I didn't want to suggest that." I said "My father cannot see. I would go to the moon if I had to. Is there anything more important than your ability to see?" The doctor LAUGHED. He said he would get the number for Westchester and left. My father was in tears: humiliated by a medical professional, given little hope and no clear direction. The aide at the desk didn't offer the sunglasses for his eyes. She also had no idea what the numbers were for any of the places we mentioned and suggested that we Google them. If you as a medical professional cannot do the following, you are doing the bare minimum and truly feel not an ounce of empathy for your patients: #1 - SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS. They were looking to make money off of the visit and bill us for a 2nd one to travel to where the machine was no matter what. Greedy. #2 - IF YOUR MACHINE HAS SIZE REQUIREMENTS, VET PATIENTS BEGORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT. They just wanted our money for the visit. ANY ONE of the calls my father had - from making the appointment to the 4 reminders - was an opportunity to ask his weight, height, etc. They could have warned him that the trip might be wasted. They could have saved us the gas, money, and time and they could have saved the business from an appointment, manpower, and supplies. Wasteful. #3 - IF YOU CANNOT HELP, REFER TO SOMEONE WHO CAN. You have not built up a network of contacts for specialized cases or people that you can't ensure your patients have the care they need? Despicable. #4 - INVEST IN EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE YOUR CLIENT BASE. In the US, 50% of the population is obese. If your machines cannot accommodate all people, you are losing business. As a doctor, you swore an oath to do no harm. Turning people away & not being able to service them without a real solution, is doing harm. Clueless. Don't go here because they do not care about people, only their profits.

Let me tell you I will definitely keep him as my new eye consult for the future , especially to care for & treat remaining cataract in my left eye when the time comes for removal . He and his staff are so friendly and they keep the office clean . Thank you Dr. Ahn for your amazing work , I can see without cloudiness this morning out of my right eye and feel so joyful !!! PS this procedure was quick , my eye was given drops then I had to wait for 20 mins for dilation then the laser part took around 30 seconds of zaps and my hubby drove me home . That was it !!

Such a gem of a place! Moved from out of state and a little behind on my eye care. When I called…read morefor an appointment, they were able to get me in the next day. Insurance collection was a breeze. The people who work there were so helpful and knowledgeable and I received such a thorough exam. When picking out my glasses the staff were so helpful and I even remarked that I felt like I was in a jewelry store with the attention and detail of finding the right fit for me. Paul, the owner, was so personable and helped out as well giving me information about the type of lens and the right look for me. I decided to purchase prescription sunglasses as well and was so impressed by the service I received. I booked an appointment for my husband. We have found our optical place. Thank you Paul and team!

Paul advised that this was my fault because everyone knows that "readers" means for reading books close to your face. He completely put the blame on me. I wear readers for work, and have for over 10 years, and have never had this issue. Who is buying glasses for books only - he was insulting my intelligence and refused to take responsibility for his incompetence. I would have purchased frames from them but he refused to sell them to me because, in his personal opinion, they wouldn't look good on me. What the customer likes is irrelevant. In general, I found everyone in this office to be extremely defensive, regardless of the situation - from the front desk to the person administering the eye exam. I will never be back.

Mid Hudson Optometric Association in Monroe NY. Be very…read moreaware . If u go there it's on you after this ! Beware !!!!!!!!!! I am nauseated. I went in yesterday after getting contacts I called a week ahead to let them know the Rx needs adjustment on my right eye. First red flag : the name says Mid hudson Optometic! Second red flag: should have been when they told me trials were absolutely available for all Rx, only to find out they don't have trials for all brands ( oh so I'll have to order contacts to see if the Rx is correct ), third: red flag so. After letting me appear in they now ( this is my second visit ) begs for my medical insurance - and then says the visit isn't covered and oh wait for it ........, it's because He's not an ophthalmologist, he's an optician.! (I clearly asked you this before I showed up and made my appointment with this practice ). I also asked if you participated - not accepted. (Ask this specific question cause all facilities accept insurances, they will love to bill your insurance for out of network coverage if they don't participate. So ask do you participate with my insurance!!!! 1199 which is medical and GVS which is vision ins. I'm coming in for him too. ps, he is doing a recheck of the Rx. ( not a medical visit ). The front desk continues to ask me what's my medical ins . I keep responding nicely after the 10th ask 1199. Then I proceed to inquire why do u need my medical insurance. When this is a recheck of the Rx for the contacts ( receptionists: did you get the contacts here). Well, gee let me see! What do u think !!!!!!!! to say if the oh wait ( optometrist) observes me it $ 93. Wait a minute, So hold up my 1199 union covers in full all costs. This is a follow up not a medically necessary procedure . And u want to charge me $93 for him fixing an Rx that isn't right !!!!!!!! Is this a joke !!!!!!! This is unethical and without a doubt dishonest !!!!!!!!because a follow up is not paid for by insurances they wanted to charge for a medical service to get money out of me. Should I have made them to look like a fool and inform them that I have yrs knowledge in the Optometry field and start asking about CPT codes he intended on billing because this visit is what it sounds like ( a load ). I will never go back here and I will let everyone know how dishonest they are. As the front desk claimed the office manager is saying it's a medical visit - u ma'am ( u should be fired )! For coming up with such nonsense ! See my email and know this is going viral !!!!!!!!!

My son came here for the lasik procedure…read more He loved the overall experience! The consultation was super helpful, they gave him a clear idea of what to expect and answered all his questions. The consultation was maybe 30 minutes, and the actual procedure didn't feel long at all, maybe 15 minutes tops. Afterwards, his eyes felt a little sore and sensitive, kind of like having something in your eye, but not unbearable. The soreness started easing up after a couple of days, and he experienced little hemorrhage. It had taken about 1-2 weeks to fully clear up. Nothing too crazy though--it all felt very manageable! He's so happy to not have to deal with glasses getting dirty, scratched up, heavy on his nose bridge or fogged up. He feels free and His eyesight is now 20/15.

To my surprise the doctor was trying to save me a trip and not come in - however I wanted to get checked. When I did come in the service and care for my concerns was discouraging and I lost a trust for even going back to them for my concerns. The doctor set me up for a follow up for "a month or two" which left me to pick the date. They never called to confirm my appointment which was odd for them - which also showed me that I no longer felt comfortable going to this person. I will give a 2 only because the other staff was nice and helpful and for lasik surgery it is a good price.
