Even though I explicitly and verifiably confirmed with Natomas Optometry and their employee, Yo-yo, that my 4 pm appointment for my 9 year old daughter can be pushed back 15 minutes to 4:15 pm, when my daughter and I arrived for our appointment at or a minute or two past 4:15 pm, Dr. Myra Lew refused to see us and would not let us have our appointment. This was supposed to be our first appointment with Natomas Optometry. Dr. Myra Lew and the staff knew I left work in SF early and drove 3 hours (heavy traffic on Friday) just to pick up my daughter and bring her to the appointment. Dr. Myra Lew and Natomas Optometry could care less about honoring their promise, that people rely and act on what they say, and that I frantically drove 3 hours to make the appointment. Natomas Optometry's excuse as to why they can't see my daughter was they have a 10 minute grace period and I needed to arrive by 4:10 pm. I told them I'm only five minutes past that 10 minute grace period, but, more importantly, the 4 pm time is not even applicable as I outright confirmed with Natomas Optometry, earlier that very same day, that my appointment could be moved to 4:15 pm. Natomas Optometry couldn't have cared less and nothing mattered to them except herding people like cows. While my daughter and I waited in Natomas Optometry, Yo-yo stated to the staff and Dr. Myra Lew that in fact he moved our appointment to 4:15 pm. This didn't matter to Dr. Myra Lew or Natomas Optometry. Natomas Optometry, knowing their absurd statements won't be fallen for, then had to resort to the statement and outright lie that I came in at 4:20 pm, instead of 4:15 pm. I arrived at 4:15 pm and at worst a minute or two after 4:15 pm. Natomas Optical and their staff were lying and essentially saying a minute or two of her time (even if five minutes of her time, which it wasn't) mattered and three hours of your or my time doesn't and matters immeasurably less. Natomas Optometry outright lied to further their own objectives. I pointed out the absurdity of what they were saying. Natomas Optometry then explicitly admitted they dropped the ball, but they would do absolutely nothing about it and their position was too bad for me. They dropped the ball, but they say and make others pay for it. I asked to speak with Dr. Myra Lew, instead of her instructing her employees what to say and them delivering her statements to me. The staff, including a lady named Stephanie, said they told Dr. Myra Lew I wanted to speak with her, but the staff told me that Dr. Myra Lew said she wouldn't come out to speak with me. I never met this lady or spoke with her even once. I asked to see Dr. Myra Lew, again, and the staff told me she's with patients. I calmly told them then I can wait. I told them to tell Dr. Myra Lew I can wait for her to see her patients and meet with her after her last patient and I asked Stephanie, again, to ask Dr. Myra Lew if she can see me then and the staff, instead of even asking Dr. Myra Lew if she could do this, immediately stated to me that Dr. Myra Lew will not come out. Obvious to me, Dr. Myra Lew had no intention of coming out, regardless of whether or not she had patients. Dr. Myra Lew was told and she knew I drove in from SF for 3 hours to see her and she wouldn't even come out to see me if even a mere second to have a civil and polite conversation with her. My daughter and I left and lost half a day. I would heavily reconsider going to Natomas Optometry for anything. Dr. Myra Lew and the staff there couldn't have cared less for a person. Think about it. Why would anyone go there and trust something as important as literally one's health, much less one's vision, to these people, especially when there are so many other options out there. Even restaurants, retailers, and any number of businesses have never done something like this to me. Dr. Myra Lew had her own interests in mind and not those of her customer. I feel like she considers herself more of business person who's looking for that extra dollar than helping people. I guess that's the level of an optometrist, or how she perceives her own self. I have no doubt she would place her own interests above those of me or her patients. Other posts say this place is much more expensive than other places too. Tell me what reason is there to go there. read more
