But....all that is irrelevant when you look at the purpose of the visit. Had an appointment with Dr M. After 45 mins in the waiting room, a Tech engaged and he covered the routine measurements, and then moved me in the exam room. Here he collected the additional routine, background info (5 more mins). And then I waited...for another 20 mins with no dr to show for. About 70 mins past my appointment time I walked out to the front desk and asked to pay what I owed, and to cancel the appointment. Dr. M came to the front escorting another patient. Front desk girls explained to her why I was in the front , and without any other explanation, or any other glance towards me, told them that I don't owe them any payment. And Dr M walked away in the back again without a second look. I would have much rather pay for a much needed appointment than wasting 70 mins waiting for a doctor. I was looking forward to this appointment after seeing all the 5* reviews. But now I saw that most of them are older than 2 years; maybe this office started focusing more on the business and lost track of caring for the patients.

I've worn glasses since 3rd grade and have been patients of several eye doctors over the years…read more There is only one eye doctor that I liked immensely but his offices are now 2600 miles away. So, I don't think I'll be visiting him any time soon. Since moving here to East Tennessee ten years ago, I've had two eye doctors but neither really did it for me. I was without insurance for two years, and so when I got new insurance, I began my search. I wanted an established practice with a great reputation that was nearby. My search included Hardin Valley Eye Care and because it was nearest to my house, I made an appointment. The minute I walked into the office, I was encouraged. COVID protocols are still being practiced - 1st star; reception and staff were super friendly - 2nd star; I was seen at my appointment time instead of waiting around like other offices - 3rd star; When I met Dr. Travis Thompson, the deal was sealed - 4th star; and they have a large selection of frames - 5th star. I could go on with more stars, but they've already secured my business for years to come. I picked up my glasses today and I haven't seen with such clarity since my eye doctor in California. This is a classy, professional and welcoming practice which I have already recommended to others. So drop by and SEE if they are a FIT for your optical needs.

Please be cautious--they may withhold your eye prescription until you pay a bill they claim you agreed to, even if they cannot provide proof that you actually authorized or agreed to pay for the procedure.

Just be aware! However, I will say the office manager called me and apologized for their mistake of not having me sign to pay for cost that I didn't have to have and they gave me no choice about. She was kind and her service recovery was good.

Here, they provide an option of having a photo taken of eyes instead of dilation (at an extra cost). This was a welcomed alternative and saved us all a lot of time and tears, too. As someone who has never worn glasses, Dr. Best explained to me what she was doing and why, and answered any questions I had without a lot of medical jargon that would make me scratch my head in confusion. After the eye photos, she even had my son come over to look at the pics and ask her questions. He thought that was super cool. He (shockingly) told me as we left, "That was pretty fun, Mommy!" Whatttt?! We were seen very quickly and the appointment only lasted about 30 minutes, including picking out and purchasing new frames. Speaking of, there was a pretty big selection of youth frames, which was refreshing. They were all fairly affordable (most under $150) and ended up being fully covered by our insurance. Thrilled to have found this office, with high-tech exams, and highly empathetic staff.

My attempt to become a new patient at this practice began with a three-way call to verify…read moreinsurance. During this call, an office staff member (Julie, I believe, but not sure) exhibited an astonishing level of rudeness and disrespect towards the insurance representative, who was simply trying to confirm my coverage. I've never encountered such arrogance from a healthcare provider's office staff, especially when dealing with a potential new patient. While I've since learned my insurance is accepted, the experience was so off-putting that I will not be seeking care there. It's a shame that Dr. Miller, who I'm sure is an excellent doctor, has staff members who create such a poor first impression.

I've been a patient of Dr. Miller's since he worked at LensCrafters, he's an excellent optometrist,…read moreand I have nothing but the highest regard for him. My issue is with the optician who assisted me with my glasses. After I picked out my new frames, I mentioned that my old ones kept falling down my nose, and she offered to adjust them. When she handed them back, I was having trouble seeing out of them, but I thought the lenses were smudged, and since it was getting late, and my mother was driving, I figured I'd clean them when I got home. When I arrived at my house, I got a lens wipe and attempted to clean them, but I still couldn't see, so I held my glasses up to the light and I saw that the tops of the lenses looked like they'd been fractured, and there were wavy lines on the center section of the lenses. I also noticed some small gouges on the top left side of the frame. The office was already closed, so I couldn't go back that day, or leave a message, so I thought I would go the next morning. I survived a massive brain tumor, and one of the side effects is that I'm very prone to migraines. The visual disturbance caused by my damaged lenses caused a severe migraine the next morning, so my mother offered to take my glasses in for me. When she took them in, the optician denied that she'd done anything wrong. My mother asked her if she could explain why I could see perfectly well through the lenses before she adjusted my glasses, and couldn't after she did. She insisted that she hadn't done anything wrong. When my mother asked her if one of the same-day labs could make my lenses for me, she said that she didn't think so because of my prescription. She didn't offer the slightest bit of assistance, and when my mother told her about my migraines, and that I couldn't write, which is what I do, I couldn't read, and I wouldn't be able to drive, her response was, "I don't know what to tell you." My mother asked her to call and rush the order, which she did not do, since I picked up the glasses seven business days later. My mother left Miller Eye Care and went to one of the same-day optical stores. The associate there took one look at my glasses and said, "She didn't pop the lenses out before she adjusted the frames, and the heat caused the coating on the glasses to ripple," and when my mother asked her if they could make lenses for my old frames, she said, "They'll be ready by two." If my mother had listened to that optician at Miller Eye care, I'd have spent nine days in bed, in the dark trying to avoid debilitating migraines while waiting for my new glasses to arrive. What's worse, when I went in to pick up my new glasses and they didn't fit correctly, she said she would adjust them, but I told her I would take them elsewhere to have them adjusted because she damaged my lenses, and she said in a sing-song voice, "I did not!" I said, "You exposed the lenses to heat and it rippled the coating!" and she sang "If you say so!" As much as I trust Dr. Miller, his optician refuses to take responsibility for her actions, so I won't be back, and when I told her so, she sang "Okay!" and wished me a Merry Christmas when as I walked out the door. If the optician had admitted that she made a mistake, if she had tried at all to help, I wouldn't have been as angry, even though it cost me to have new lenses made for my old frames, but because of her ineptitude and rudeness, Dr. Miller lost TWO of his long-time patients, because my mother will not be returning, either. All actions have consequences, and I sincerely hope she learns that lesson before she causes any more damage to Dr. Miller's practice.
