    Visited this business for the first time yesterday. Was referred by the VA to get an updated…read moreprescription. From the friendly staff at the front desk, to the technician who checked me in and did the preliminary stuff, to Doctor Shonda Wood, I couldn't have been happier. I was treated with respect, professionalism, and friendliness. Everyone was super knowledgeable and completely on task during my appointment. The only interruption was when I had to use the facilities. My only recommendation for this business would be to upgrade their computer program to allow new clients to fill out the paperwork required on line prior to the appointment.

    I went to one of the Optometrists in town who have a really beautiful dispensary (polished wood and…read moreexpensive designer frames prominently displayed along the walls); because they carry the exact brand of really sweet (expensive . . . designer) frames I like. We are talking a $900+ pair of glasses. I was a bone head and lost the pair I had, so I really needed an immediate replacement; as the prescription in my "emergency" lenses was a bit off. The optometrists are great guys. The staff are wonderful people. But their supply chain stinks (and I'm trying to be nice). My perception (and I'm a savvy business guy) is they offload everything to a wholesale laboratory where they apparently have NO swing; or, worse, they suck-up poor performance to get the best price point. The quality of the product delivered is acceptable, but they can't deliver in a timely manner. FYI - this was my second . . . and last . . . time to suffer through the seemingly never ending wait. Hey . . . I liked the people and frames. But never again. I hope the few dollars of savings are worth the tens of thousands they are going to lose; from me and everyone I am going to tell my tale. Because after nearly a month of waiting . . . I pulled the plug and told them to forget it. I went back to the guys at Dawson's; who have never failed me. And yet again . . . Rick and Larry delivered. I got a new prescription, an awesome pair of high-end digital progressive lenses in my favorite frames (which they don't carry, but we got around that), with all the fancy coatings, a new pair of Maui Jim digital progressive sunglasses, and new lenses for my "emergency" single vision frames; so I can see the super thin daily wear if I lay them down in plain sight (plain sight for someone who can actually see). I went in late Tuesday (after telling the other folks I was done) and had the "emergency" lenses the next day; so no more headaches. The prescription Maui Jim's were ready Friday morning. And they are awesome! The lenses for the daily wear were ready before lunch the next Monday. And it wasn't because I was spending way too much money. While I was discussing the purchase, that still has my wife angry with me, Larry told me to wait a few, quite a few as he didn't rush it, minutes while he assisted a woman figure out a good pair of glasses that would fit her very much smaller eyewear budget. They treat the folks with a tight budget just the same as an idiot, like me, who can spend way more than seems reasonable for eyewear. These are good people. I will never again stray. Go give them a try. They will earn your business. And no . . . they didn't give me a discount to write this. I'll show you the credit card bill! But I got what I paid for . . . product and service!!

    I wish I could recommend this practice, but unfortunately my experience over the last year and a…read morehalf has been incredibly disappointing. I was originally referred here by my rheumatologist for baseline eye testing before starting Plaquenil. During my first appointment, the younger associate doctor diagnosed me with glaucoma and started me on glaucoma eye drops. After experiencing significant side effects, I returned and was later evaluated by the owner and head doctor of the practice, who informed me that I did not actually have glaucoma. He explained that my eye pressure was normal and that the appearance of my optic nerves was simply due to my anatomy. I understood that mistakes can happen, so I continued trusting the practice with my care. Unfortunately, the problems continued. My first glasses prescription was incorrect, resulting in about $150 spent out of pocket on glasses I ultimately could not use. Later, after being diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, I asked whether binocular vision dysfunction could be contributing to my persistent double vision and vestibular migraines. I was told that I did have binocular vision dysfunction and, as I remember the conversation, the younger associate doctor said, "My bad. I should have checked for that before." Trusting that we had finally identified the problem, I again paid out of pocket for new lenses in two pairs of glasses. Those prescriptions also failed to resolve my vision problems. Along the way, there were multiple unnecessary trips to the office, including driving there after being told my glasses had arrived only to learn my order paperwork had been placed in the wrong stack. The reimbursement process has also been frustrating. I have paid $196 out of pocket for the most recent lenses. I was later told I would be reimbursed $133. When I asked why the reimbursement did not match what I had actually paid, I was told, "Well, he hasn't even written it just yet, soooo." That conversation was over a week ago. When I called again, I was told the check still had not been written. What has concerned me even more is my inability to obtain my own medical records. I have completed the required records request paperwork twice, emailed, called, and followed every instruction I was given. I am still trying to obtain the physician notes needed for another provider to continue my care without repeating unnecessary testing. At this point, the money is honestly no longer my biggest concern. The real cost has been the time. Time away from work. Time driving back and forth. Time waiting on glasses that never solved the problem. Time spent trying to obtain records that legally belong to me. Living with complex chronic illnesses already requires an enormous amount of time spent in medical offices. This situation became one more unnecessary obstacle that could have been resolved through communication and follow-through. I don't expect healthcare providers to be perfect. I do expect honest communication, accountability when mistakes occur, timely access to my own medical records, and a genuine effort to resolve problems fairly. I truly hoped this could be resolved privately. I submitted a formal written letter and continued trying to work directly with the practice before ever considering sharing my experience publicly. Unfortunately, after many months, I felt I had exhausted every reasonable avenue available to me. This review is not intended to encourage harassment or personal attacks against anyone at the practice. It is simply an honest account of my experience so that other patients can make informed decisions and so that anyone going through something similar knows they are not alone.
