I had such a poor experience here that next time, I will go somewhere else and pay out-of-pocket. As another reviewer mentioned, this place feels SO scammy and has no regard for the patient. I am formally filing a complaint with Pearle Vision's headquarters.
My appointment was at 11:00 and I wasn't seen by the doctor until 11:55. I waited the entire time. Once I was seen by the doctor, she asked what kind of contacts I wore. I told her that I've been wearing a certain brand for a few years and they were the best contacts I've ever worn. She said "oh, those are old and outdated". Odd, because I literally purchased them with another eye doctor a year prior. In return, I told her that I've tried other pairs and wanted to stick with what I have and she turned her back on me, literally, and said she was giving me the Bausch and Lomb brand.
She then asked what saline solution I used and I told her I use the Costco brand because it's affordable. She then said "no, use BioTrue, it's by the same contact brand I'm giving you so it's better". I told her it was 3x the price at Costco and she again, ignored me.
I finally looked at the prescription and sure enough, it was for a different brand of contacts than I told her three times I wanted. I'm sure she has some deal with B&L and would rather make money from them than do ANYTHING that I requested or needed.
I was finally able to check out and at this point, was running late for my next appointment since I waited so long. I told the front desk staff that I wanted my Rx so I could order from Costco and spend HALF of what they would charge. Someone else said she would price match if I came and sat down but I was running so late, I asked her to please call me. She said she would in 10-15 minutes.
Three hours later, they called. I still had no RX that I paid for. Again, completely ignoring what I asked for, she talked about the B&L contacts. I said "No, I'm buying the kind that I want from Costco" and she told me I would have to come in for another appointment to have my Rx changed. EVEN THOUGH I told my doctor four times by the end of our appointment that I wanted the brand I always wear.
Now I'm battling Costco to get what I've requested because the doctor refused to have any regard for me, the patient.
What a blatant example of a medical professional caring more about their bottom line than the patient. I will never, ever return and strongly discourage you from doing so as well. read more
