Update , June 2025. I just realized that the owner responded to my original review. Here's my…read moreupdated and response: Rebuttal to Dr. Dutson: Dr. Dutson, I am absolutely a former patient of your practice, and I stand by every word of my review. It's disappointing to see you respond not by addressing the concerns I raised, but by questioning whether I was ever a patient at all. That's not only false--it's a deflection from the real issue: I paid for new designer frames and was given used/demo ones from your display wall. I wasn't even provided the proper designer case they normally come with, just a generic one that didn't fit properly. That is not acceptable, and it certainly isn't ethical. You claim to have searched your patient database but couldn't verify me--yet somehow you sent me a private message on Yelp with direct contact info. That doesn't align. You also claim I would have responded if I were a real patient. I did not respond because I already attempted to contact your office directly before ever posting a review, and I was ignored. Only after leaving honest public feedback did I receive any acknowledgment. This pattern of dismissing concerns and redirecting the narrative is exactly what motivated me to leave a review. My intent was not to harm your business, but to protect future patients from the experience I had. That is the purpose of reviews. I hope you will take accountability rather than attempting to discredit dissatisfied patients. Charlotte.

Jessica, Gina and Dr Neff all were very professional and made me feel very comfortable. I was in and out in short order and was happy with their great selection of frames. Dr Neff has a great manner and was able to explain my test results so I could easily understand them. I would highly recommend this practice.

I understand that covid is a real virus, but denying people service who have a legitimate exemption is unacceptable. They had just seen 2 patients the day before without masks with no problems but refused to see us. There were no other patients in the office and all the staff had on masks. There was no reason to refuse us. Definitely won't be going back and certainly won't recommend them.

I scheduled an appointment for my elderly mother, who is disabled and has significant difficulty…read morewalking. The earliest appointment available was approximately six weeks away, and my parents had to drive an hour to get there. The appointment was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. I arrived at 11:23 a.m. and informed the front desk that my mother was still on her way and would likely arrive about 10 minutes late. I also explained that, because of her disability, she needed additional time to walk from the parking area and take the elevator to the second floor. I specifically asked whether she could still be seen, and I was told that as long as she arrived by 11:45 a.m., it would not be a problem. The staff provided me with a tablet to begin completing her paperwork. While I was finishing it, my mother arrived. I briefly stepped outside to direct her where to go and left the tablet on the table. When I returned, the staff had already taken the tablet and informed me that the doctor would not see her, despite the fact that it was only 11:44 a.m. and she was literally walking into the office. After I explained the situation, one staff member indicated they would try to work her into the schedule, while another said the doctor had refused and that we would need to reschedule. We then spent another 10-15 minutes discussing the issue, during which time the appointment could likely have already begun. What is most frustrating is that I was initially told she would be seen if she arrived by 11:45 a.m., yet that commitment was not honored. Had I been told from the beginning that there was absolutely no flexibility, I could have made other arrangements or sought care elsewhere. My mother has a serious eye condition and now faces further delays in receiving treatment. Given her disability, age, and the effort required to attend the appointment, I expected a greater degree of understanding and accommodation. Unfortunately, our experience left us feeling that her circumstances were not taken into consideration.

I made an appointment but when I arrived they were not ready for me…read more When they took me back for an exam, the employee didn't know how to work the machines so she had to bring in someone else. This took forever. They then sat me down for the vision test. It's done via video call with someone not even there. It took forever to get her on and there was a bit of a language barrier. I just hoped for the best that she got my prescription correct. After I got home, I realized I was overcharged. I was told I would get a call back and never did, I emailed and they tried to explain why I wasn't overcharged but it makes no sense which makes me think I was scammed. I even reached out to corporate with no luck. The glasses are fine but the deals you see online are misleading and I spent so much more than expected.

Your response was just a generic template that doesn't reflect what actually happened…read more Over just 2.5 months, my prescription was changed three times and the glasses were remade four separate times. Despite all of this, I never received a usable pair of glasses. Suggesting that I "reach out" again ignores the fact that I already did that multiple times. At this point, the only reasonable solution is a full refund so I can return to VSP and have the prescription and glasses made correctly elsewhere. I'm posting this update so future patients understand the full context, because a generic template response doesn't match the seriousness of the experience.

In addition to being a friendly person, she is very thorough, always checks her records as to trends in your vision history and will refer you to specialists, if needed. Over the past two years I have had an "after cataract" which is a fogging of the lens. It has been very slowly getting worse, and now is the time to have an ophthalmologist do an evaluation and maybe do the laser work to clear it up. I have an appointment from one of her known alliance partners and we will see. Appointments are easy and they do follow-ups to remind you. If you need new lenses or frames, they can fit you there in the office. Mark is the tech guy to do it. And he is very nice as the manager of the Indian Land shop. Happy to be part of their practice...so is my wife.
