Upon arriving, the waiting area is clean and orderly; as I mentioned, the receptionist was very professional and friendly; and I was taken on-time. The pleasant experience came to a screeching halt once you pass through the reception area doors into the exam area. I met with the person who does your initial eye exam. She was like a machine. No pleasantries, no personality, no communication except the orders to do this or do that. I was then moved to the room where the doctor meets with you to complete the exam... I was surprised to find a completely disheveled person walking in. Although the office was not crowded and was clearly running on time, his pants seemed to be on fire--what's the rush, this is my time don't make me feel like I'm an inconvenience. From the first words he spoke, he was just nothing but rude and abrupt. His communication skills are a disgrace. He asked why I was there. I said I hadn't had an eye exam in quite some years and wanted to get new lenses. He gave me the eye test to read out the letters. In the middle of my reading off the letters, he picked up the phone to bark some kind of order to a staff member. When he switched over the other eye, he opened the door to the exam room to give some kind of instructions (unrelated to me or my exam) to another staff member. By the last line of reading off the letters on the exam, I was pausing, squinting and guessing at the letters. He turned the machine off, threw himself into a chair and barked at me that I had 20/20 vision. I said: Really? That's funny because I've been wearing glasses for distance for 20 years and when I'm driving at night I can't read any signs without them and that I also find I need them when I go to the movie theatre. I stated that just because I got the letters right doesn't mean they were clear or that it wasn't a strain to read them. His response? Well, some doctor at some point decided you needed glasses. You'll have to bring in your old glasses for me to do anything else for you, come back next week. What ever happened to the part of the exam where they put lenses in front of your eyes and you state whether it was clearer, blurrier, etc. I'd like OPTIMAL vision even if in some abrasive, obnoxious doctor's opinion I have 20/20 vision. I don't know why he would need to my old glasses to figure out the optimal prescription for my needs. What if I had lost or broken them, then what? I can never get glasses again? So I cancelled my follow up appointment and I'm using my secondary insurance (which I luckily have) to get an exam and material somewhere else. If I didn't have secondary insurance, I would have to pay for another exam out of my own pocket. Don't waste your time, money and/or benefits on someone who's an obnoxious jerk and who clearly doesn't know how to interact like a civil, professional, educated human being. And to the Doctor: for Pete's sake, clean yourself up and look presentable and professional. A few communication courses and how to treat people with courtesy and respect would go a long way.

He actually gave me a full exam and wrong prescription - because i had an extra contact lens in my eye! of course, I did not know, but don't you think he should have seen in?! I kept telling him I wasn't seeing right and what my presctiption is for years. I explained on phone what I found, they told me they understood and would call me right back, which occurred 3 times with no return call or appointment. I paid for a wrong prescription and they didn't care the least. Upon the 3rd or 4th call, they said, "I find that very hard to believe". I said, ME TOO! I've held off on writing this for MONTHS. I just had to say it. I saved the bad prescription.

I couldn't believe how unprofessional and mean-spirited someone in her position could be. I went to this appointment expecting to be treated with basic respect, and instead I was humiliated. Her words were cruel, unnecessary, and completely out of line. I was so upset, l left the office in tears. Someone like that should not be working in a place where patients are supposed to feel safe and cared for. I will never forget how she made me feel, and I seriously hope Visionworks addresses this behavior. No one deserves to be judged or shamed like that.

Was hesitant to switch after going to the prior place for 25+ years. I was very happy I made the switch! This local, small town business was a breath of fresh air--- the service was excellent, as was the selection of eyeglass frames, including designer frames as well....Gucci, Tom Ford, to name just a few. The owner, Peter Detreich introduced himself and personally assisted me. Their prices were fair and competitive, but the quality, knowledgable service and the glasses were the major, remarkable aspects of my experience at this store. The glasses they made for me were the clearest, sharpest best "seeing" glasses, far better than the glasses I've had for over 25 years from my prior opticians. And, my prescription for multi-focal, progressive lenses I'd thought would mean a compromise in the close or far ranges. Not so. I used to sometimes get dizzy wearing my prior glasses with the progressive lenses. The multiple pairs I've had made by Deitrich do not do that. It's almost like not wearing glasses. I highly recommend them.

Both are here legally and pay taxes--her son even works. The phone rang, and a man named "Stu" answered. I explained the situation, letting him know why I was calling and making the appointment for them. The moment he understood what I was saying, his entire demeanor shifted. His tone turned cold and condescending, and he asked, "How are we supposed to understand them then?" His attitude was palpable. He abruptly put me on hold. When he returned, he said there was an opening for next month, but his frustration was evident as he began asking for the boy's information. For some reason, he became flustered and placed me on hold again. This time, I was connected to a woman named Elise, and she was the complete opposite of Stu. Elise was kind, professional, and understanding. She took the information without any issue, wished me a good day, and even thanked me for calling. Her attitude was a breath of fresh air, but it made Stu's behavior stand out even more. I understand that tensions are high right now with the ongoing migration issues. I fully support efforts to secure our borders. However, that doesn't give anyone the right to mistreat others--especially those who are here legally. A simple, polite response like, "I'm sorry, we don't have anyone who speaks her language. Does she have someone who can interpret when she arrives?" would have been sufficient. Instead, Stu seemed determined to create a problem where there didn't need to be one. I can't shake the feeling that his behavior stemmed from a deeper, racial issue. At the very least, it was a blatant lack of respect and professionalism. Next month, we'll be seeing Stu in person. I can only hope the facility addresses his attitude before then. Everyone deserves to be treated with basic human decency--no matter their background.
