I arrived at the Hilton Head Location last Friday to a Masks Optional sign on the front door…read more Masks Optional? A Dr's office. It was my last exam there and that is unfortunate as the care has always been wonderful. But today, all the techs were maskless and as well as the receptionist and the cashier. I thought about complaining to the office directly but then I thought, there is no point. They made the decision and Masks Optional is the way they chose. I will now choose a safe and responsible practice and it is NOT Bishop Eye.

Went for an annual appointment. I have thin metal frame glasses so naturally they are a little…read morefragile, and one of the screws holding the pair of glasses together was stripped, as they had recently come undone and the screw had trouble going back in. I asked if they could take a look and one of the women working there took my glasses and went into the back/staff area. Ten minutes later she comes out with a horrendous looking pair of glasses and said that the glasses frame had been bent, so she tried to bend it back and it snapped, and that this frame was the only one they had that would fit the lenses. I've had to re-assemble my glasses quite a few times and have never damaged my frame (minus the stripped screw) in the process. The fact that I asked about a screw issue and had my frame bent and broken without being asked first is infuriating, especially since she takes no responsibility (to quote her) for damage to the frame being snapped, even though I had virtually no say/knowledge in the matter, and therefore, I would have to pay for a new frame, and until that frame came in, I would be stuck with the other frame until it came in two weeks from now. The frame was absolutely horrendous, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that it doesn't fit my face in the slightest and is extremely uncomfortable to wear when they aren't falling off of my face constantly, so now I virtually can't see. The only darling thing about this visit was my drive on the way to their office thinking I would have an at least half-decent experience.

Having gone to Pearl Vision for over 30 years, maybe I've just been fortunate in having better than…read moreaverage experiences with optometric and other eye care facilities in the past. Unfortunately I failed to read all the negative reviews posted here which mimicked my same experience, and which would have prompted me to go elsewhere for my annual exam. I anticipated paying out of pocket to some degree, even though my supplemental vision insurance through Aetna typically covers everything including a trial pair of contact lenses. However I was told at check in that my 'fitting fee' would range anywhere from $40 to $190 and that my contact lenses would not 'necessarily' be covered. So after the initial introduction to Dr Wise I explained that in the past I had been a patient at Pearl vision in California and because I'm on a monthly budget and my questions had not been clearly answered by the staff, I was not feeling comfortable about the exam. Dr Wise responded that her staff does not provide a cost estimate until the insurance makes that determination. That she was the 'Doctor' and I should be happy to have the exam and that no one ever asks her about costs. She then told me to go back to Pearl - and California - and refused to proceed with the exam. As others mentioned below I am still in disbelief that anyone engaged in the medical industry could be so uncaring about a patients financial questions within today's rising costs. But more importantly as a senior citizen I felt totally disrespected and discriminated against. Since I had been on vacation in Beaufort at the time, I scheduled the next appointment with a Charleston optometrist who was able to give me an exact outline of what to expect on the date of exam with nothing more than my membership ID: No out of pocket - zero deductible - first sample pair free. Done.

When I first arrived at BFD maybe a decade ago. I was terrified. I hadn't seen a dentist in years…read moredue to the discomfort/pain/shame I experienced every time I entered a dentists office. I had dental procedure anxiety (self-diagnosed) something fierce. I never flossed. Brushed a few times a week. "You wouldn't be bleeding so much if you flossed," some so- called 'dental professional' would tell me. "It wouldn't hurt if you weren't stabbing me in my gums with no empathy," is what I would think to myself as I white knuckled some satanic saddle of dental doom, wishing I could afford gaseous ambivalence. When the pain in my mouth finally achieved victory over my fear of procedural pain, into BFD I walked. Janet sweetly laughed when I asked for gas, or benzodiazapine, or anything to rest my anxiety. "You'll be fine, I've been at this for years." She was right. While it took a while to un-f#({ the results of my dental neglect, I learned a lot. I was shown how easy it is to floss (with a floss pick- that's not cheating; it's just as effective as cumbersome filament floss). Dr. Drossner helpfully suggested I slip it onto my daily routine. I started flossing every time I waited for my shower to warm up. I quit skipping a good brushing to save a couple minutes. I'm not at 100%, but I'd get a solid A on the 1990s grading scale for sure. Eager excitement nearly effortlessly replaced anxiety and avoidance in advance of my semiannual oral inspection. The staff at BFD remember my chosen name (not just my government one). They find ways to make my visits cheaper. They remember that I don't like their music - they don't change it, but they remember. Dr. Drossner congratulates me on my newfound acceptance of daily tooth washing. Janet gives me a hug before I leave. I never knew until this morning after Janet effortlessly and (almost- I ain't perfect) painlessly descaled and polished my teeth, that dentists and hygienists experience anxiety about giving people anxiety. If you squirm at the dentist's office, they have to suffer their own discomfort with a HIPPA-suggested countenance of indifference. That means, everybody wins if daily dental diligence becomes standard. If you live in Beaufort or the surrounding areas, do your mouth a favor. Go see the folks at BFD. And at the very least, start brushing and flossing every day. It's better to floss your teeth every day for less than a minute than to hate a dental professional or yourself for an hour every six months. My name is Thieme Hall and I support this message.
