I had fears of an eye infection, and sought out an ophthalmologist. Based solely on Michelle's…read morereview I checked out the training of Dr. Lindsey and found we both attended the same med school. That was enough for me. I scheduled an appointment (I was able to be seen the next day) and the visit went smoothly. The office staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Lindsey was delightful. Every good thing Michelle said about Dr. Lindsey was true for me, too. We had a good time chatting about faculty we knew in common. My fears of an eye infection were groundless (my discomfort was most likely due to allergies so she gave me some eyedrops). I had her do a full refraction and eye exam since I was already there. She found my current eyeglass prescription was fine and didn't need to be changed, and that my eyes were perfectly healthy (she said they were likely the healthiest she'd see all day). I'll see her again in a year, and look forward to it. If you need an ophthalmologist who is well-trained in diseases of the eye as well as the normal eyeglass and contact lens fitting, then I recommend Dr. Lindsey. Other physicians who are members of the group practice (The Eye Institute of Austin) appear to be equally stellar in their pedigrees.

Dr. Lindsey is, far and away, the best ophthalmologist I've ever seen. Very thorough, very nice,…read moreand she has a bedside manner that just inspires confidence that she knows what she is doing. She listens well and proposes workable solutions for every little complaint - like loading me up with samples of various eye drops to try with my finicky gas permeable lenses. Her staff is excellent, as well, and for as long as I've been seeing her, she's had the same assistant, the same optometrist, the same contact lens expert - the longevity in this office just says something. Also, she hates waiting at the doctor's office, so she works hard to stay on schedule, which I so appreciate. Doctors who realize that their patients' time is valuable, too, are much too rare. I'd recommend Dr. Lindsey without reservation.

I had my eye exam appointment yesterday --my first time visiting this clinic--and I can only say…read morethat I had a wonderful experience. I was treated with kindness all the time. The assistant and Dr. Raymond Carneglia explained everything regarding my results. I arrived 5 minutes late and left the clinic about 20 minutes later. Easy, fast and great.

$268.00 for a contact lens exam…read more That is not a medical bill. That is a ransom note written in optometry ink. Two hundred and sixty-five dollars to look into my skull windows and tell me what shape of plastic disc belongs on my eyeballs. I did not walk into your office expecting a luxury spa treatment for my corneas. I expected a routine contact lens exam -- the same basic exercise I have had before, including through this same business, at roughly a quarter of the price. So when the bill came back at $268, I had the distinct feeling of being mugged in broad daylight by a phoropter. If this exam was going to cost $268, that number should have been made clear before the appointment began. Not whispered through paperwork. Not hidden in a fog of billing codes. Not revealed at the end like the final twist in a bad carnival scam. It should have been stated plainly, directly, and unmistakably: "Before we begin, this contact lens exam will cost $268." Had I heard that sentence, I would have stood up, thanked everyone for their time, and walked directly out the door in search of a business operating somewhere closer to reality. This charge is outrageous. It is excessive, poorly disclosed, and completely unacceptable. No reasonable person would expect a routine contact lens exam to cost $268 unless that price was made brutally clear in advance. I am asking you to review this charge and provide a fair adjustment or refund. And I want to be very clear about what happens if this is brushed off. I will not slink away quietly and absorb this nonsense like a beaten insurance animal. I will share an accurate account of this experience everywhere people look before choosing an eye care provider -- Google, Yelp, Facebook, LinkedIn, neighborhood groups, local forums, and any other digital town square where people still value being warned before they are financially body-slammed over an eye exam. Call it social media shaming if you want. I call it consumer hygiene. I will not lie. I will not exaggerate. I will not invent a single detail. I will simply tell people the truth: I was charged $268 for a contact lens exam, the price was not made clear enough before the appointment, my prior exam through the same business was roughly a quarter of that amount, and I would never have agreed to proceed had I known the cost. This is exactly the kind of customer experience that deserves sunlight, noise, and a long paper trail. Review the charge. Correct it. Explain how a contact lens exam became a $268 ambush.

I called several places in regards to my cataract surgery. I found after talking to Janie (part of…read morethe amazing front staff team) I felt a lot more confident about setting up an appointment. She told me Dr Wong was very good at spending time with his patients. She was right. He explained very thoroughly my options and what he suggested based upon my situation. This gave me confidence in my decision. Surgery was better than expected, mainly because his pre-op person did a great job explaining what to expect and being coached and encouraged by Dr Wong all thru the procedure. It's not easy going thru this but his consistent encouragement makes it 100% better. All the staff are professional, friendly and on it. I've already recommended them to friends. Come see for yourself.

Dr. Wong and his team are so friendly and helpful! From the moment I called to make an appointment,…read morethey were super nice. Every time I came in, everyone had a smile on their face. It was so welcoming which is nice when you're about to have eye surgery. Dr. Wong answered any and all questions I had regarding lasik. He took his time during all of my appointments. When his staff went through the pricing and procedure, she went through it all so clearly I didn't have too many questions after it. I can't say enough about my experience here! During surgery, Dr. Wong narrated every little detail which was comforting so that I didn't have anxiety lying there for 20 minutes not knowing what was going on. Do your research on who you think is best for you but I will say out of all the places I reached out to, this place was by far the best!!!

I highly recommend SharpeVision for lasik surgery!…read more My pre consultation appointment, the surgery, and the follow-up appointment went incredibly smooth. It was overall a great experience. I've been wearing contacts for over 15 years, so I was a bit nervous but also excited to have better vision. The team explained every detail and I felt comfortable/taken care of!

The worst treatment I have ever received…read more First, they didn't tell me they were going to dilate my eyes but did so, without my consensus, and then left me to drive myself home, in broad daylight, after the visit. Needless to say I was basically blind in that bright afternoon sunlight on the drive home almost causing an accident when I couldn't see well enough to avoid swerving into a center median while turning. Second, I was never notified the exorbitant cost of the dilation on checkout and only noticed it on the single bill I finally received several months later. Third, I told them I could not receive postal mail but they insisted I give them a postal mailbox anyway. They never sent me a bill electronically, only through the postal mail, and then they added late fees when I did not pay the bill but I never received. I only received the paper bill by happenstance. Fourth, I was told I would receive a glasses and contact prescription but at check out they only had a glasses prescription and they required me to pay $75 extra if I wanted that. Later, when discussing the exhorbitant bill with the billing department, they only credited me $70 even though my credit card statements showed I paid $75. Fifth, the glasses prescription I was provided was rejected by two different online providers as being an invalid prescription. Moreover, when I went to a brick and mortar shop to get contact and glasses prescriptions they verified that the prescription was nowhere near accurate and was unusable. Sixth, the building department was completely unhelpful. They gladly removed a charge here but then added it over here so the final amount was still the same. They didn't seem to care that the service was poor, the prescription was invalid, my safety was put in jeopardy for really anything else. There is nothing good that I can say about this shop and, personally, I will never go back to them and trust them with my vision.

It's short and sweet but I had to get a new PCP moving to Austin. After being discharged from St…read moreDavids, I knew followup would be something I had to prepare for. I was pleasently surprised - it almost made me want to get sick every day! (well you know what I mean *laughing*) From the moment I walked in and confused myself checking in on a tablet (I am a global engineer for super computing - my microwave still blinks 12:00 - go figure) to the gentleman doing my vitals, to Makayla who is smiling and good fun to talk about my admittedly beaten body I call home. I clearly made the right choice with Makayla and the Staff of Thrive in N Austin, and recommend them highly. Thanks Guys! NORTH AUSTIN- THRIVE MEDICAL CLINIC 2217 Park Bend Drive Suite 210

I've been going to Thrive for a long time but I've been put off lately by the experience of…read moremessaging with them. I really like Dr. Crear and some of the PAs so it's a shame that the messaging service is not held to a high standard. Honestly, it's like talking to a child...but one who clearly uses AI to polish their grammar. The level of incompetence - with incorrect prescriptions called in and incorrect information relayed - is concerning. I hope they don't have these medical assistants completing tasks that require common sense, like relaying important test results. I know practices are trying to increase profits, especially those practices that are owned by private equity (which this place may be--IDK). But please consider your patients. Don't run a competent practice into the ground by having these assistants do what medical professionals should be doing. Employ some actual nurses to answer patient questions for god's sake, not just "medical assistants."
