Dr. Ingram was very quick in his evaluation of my eye prescription. He asked approximately 2-3 questions only for each eye. I mentioned at that time that with the prescription that he came up with, I could not read with my left eye beyond the biggest possible size letters, while with my right eye I could see easily the tiniest setting! But Dr. Ingram only said that this happened because of the different axis without rechecking if the prescription that he came up with was correct. Anyways I used the prescription of Dr. Ingram and bought glasses accordingly. One month later I decided that I will get a second eye prescription to see if it agrees with the eye prescription that I got from Dr. Ingram. Surprise! The prescription is different! Unfortunately, I already wasted the money to buy glasses according to the prescription of Dr. Ingram.

Ingram is by far the best eye doctor and staff I've ever had the pleasure of being a patient for. I…read morenever feel rushed nor feel like a nuisance, just like a customer that you want to bring the best service to. Their frames are also reasonably priced.

Update: they give me a refund to my HSA for my exam and retina scan. Although they did ask me to…read moretake down my review. I'm not taking it down entirely because they couldn't explain why their prescription was so different from Lenscrafters. At first, they tried to say LensCrafters doesn't have real eye doctors but I showed him that an OD checked my vision. So, while I'm happy I got a refund, I'm not happy with having no good explanation for the difference.

After the exam, I was charged an additional $40 for "new imaging" instead of dilation. The doctor mentioned this technology but did not disclose that it would cost extra. That is not acceptable. Patients should be clearly informed of any additional charges before services are performed. When I raised the issue, staff did not provide a clear explanation or attempt to address the concern. This was not transparent and did not meet basic expectations for patient communication. I would not recommend this office based on this experience.

When I went in, I knew that my vision was bad and that I had an astigmatism. The exam went okay and Dr. Taylor told me he that he was going to have to order me a special lens for my left eye. He never mentioned that the special lens was going to be a toric lens. I have tried a toric lens three times and I do not like them. When I found out, I asked to be switched to a regular lens. Sansbury refused to write a new prescription without another exam. It was less than a week since I had my eyes examined. I was sent out with a lens I cannot wear and my eyesight in that eye is -11.50. In my opinion, they did not care that I cannot see without a lens in that eye. That was the worst customer service I have ever had at a medical facility. I will not return and I advise anyone considering Sansbury to be very wary.

I have been a patient of Dr. Parks for a few years, and aside from the occasional long wait during…read moreappointments, I haven't had any major issues with the practice--until recently. My frames broke, and I brought them in for repair, expecting a turnaround time of a week or two. Instead, the process took over two months. During that time, I contacted the office multiple times and was repeatedly given inaccurate information. On one occasion, I was told that we had spoken at the end of May and that I had agreed to come pick up my glasses--this conversation never occurred. I was then told my glasses would be mailed to me via USPS on a Wednesday and that I would receive them by that Friday. They never arrived. The following Wednesday, I went to the office in person, only to be told the staff member I needed to speak with had stepped out for lunch. After my name was pulled up in the system, the same staff member appeared shortly after. She admitted she had forgotten to send my glasses and offered a $4.00 gift card as compensation for the inconvenience. That gesture felt dismissive and inadequate given the delay of over two months and the lack of honesty throughout the process. I expressed that these experiences made me question whether I would return to the practice at all. I was originally referred to this office, but based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable recommending it to others.
