My daughter was referred by her pediatrician as she was needing a prescription for eye glasses…read more When we arrived for our morning appointment, I observed a lot of children and adults sitting in the small waiting area. After about 30 minutes of waiting I began asking patients around me, how long they had been waiting. Some had waited over an hour and I realized that the office was scheduling patients within 5-10 minutes of one another. I quickly realized that the patients were being shuffled out fairly quick after waiting for so long to be seen. After an hour and 8 minutes, the assistance called us back to the waiting area. She was very nice and made my 11 year old daughter feel comfortable. She was very thorough and explained what she was going to do. The assistant sent us to waiting in the sitting area for another 15 minutes after she dilated my daughter's eyes. Dr. Akor called us in to her examining room. She was not pleasant at all and quickly asked my daughter what had been going on with her. My daughter told her that she would sometimes get headaches at school because she was struggling to read and see the board in the classroom. Dr. Akor attempted to use only one set of lenses to adjust my daughter's eyesight. My daughter's vision was still blurry. After she used one set, she turned the lights back on said, "something doesn't' seem right". She turned around in her seat with her back to us and began writing in her notes and telling me that she was going to order an MRI if my daughter's brain. She did not explain anything, other than I would be notified by phone to make the appointment. I was shocked and asked her why she felt that my daughter needed an MRI of her brain and all she could say as she was getting up to leave the office was that, "something isn't right... she shouldn't be getting headaches". I explained that my daughter gets headaches only after school as she doesn't not complain on the weekends or in the evenings. Dr. Akor was shaking her head back and forth and said, "The headaches should not be occurring". My daughter began getting visibly upset and crying because she hears something about how something isn't right with her brain. My daughter began to cry and Dr. Akor stood at the door and told us that her office would contact us in two weeks to go over the MRI results and she would conduct another eye exam. Long story short, my daughter never needed an MRI of her brain. After discussing with her pediatrician, he was in agreement that the MRI was not necessary. Dr. Akor spent less than 4 minutes with my daughter and we were being shuffled out like cattle. I was very disappointed as I have always had positive interactions with medical professionals and specialists in Abilene. I'm not sure if she scheduled too many patients that morning and was feeling frustrated, but I will never ever go back!

Instead of checking his vision immediately, he was told to wear them for 2 weeks. He had them adjusted while he was there. I checked them when he got home and noticed a small crack in the lens by the nose piece. He agreed to wear them but honest couldn't see with them. I called and asked for a glasses check. We couldnt wait for an appointment so we went up there. The gray haired lady told us that we must have made the crack in the lens. I asked for my money back and they refused. She then became very rude so I asked to speak to the Dr . but was told no. we spent a lot of money there for glasses we can't use. I advise against going to this business. I have worked in ophthamology for over 15 years and we would have never treated a customer that way.
