I see Dr. Rappaport for glaucoma. He is excellent, caring, and I feel lucky to have him treating…read moremy vision issues. His Battlefield office management staff, however, is pathetic. Today I reported at 09:35 for a 09:50 appointment and finally saw the doctor at 11:40. During this two-hour period, I spent 3 minutes getting checked in and checking acuity and pressures. I spent another 3 minutes getting eye photos and an hour and a half waiting. This is typical for that office. When questioning the delay, much of the staff was flip, unconcerned, and/or clearly annoyed. My vision prevents me from driving so I must impose upon others for transportation, and those kind people are also adversely impacted. I see other aged patients with canes, wheelchairs, and creeping at a snail's pace and see the discomfort on their faces as they wait and wait and wait and wait. It is sad. I hear the sarcastic comments of other patients as they wait and wait. When I discussed this with Dr, Rappaport, he told me that the staff is supposed to give regular status on the wait times but I have never heard jack. Never a status, never an explanation, and God forbid, never an apology. Such a status report would at least allow the opportunity to get a refreshment or reschedule in extreme cases. Had I treated ANY of my customers with such rudeness in my business dealings I would surely be unemployed and bankrupt. This is shameful. I have witnessed other specialists resolve this situation. It COULD be fixed, but as long as the money keeps flowing in, nobody seems interested respecting very people that who are responsible for the Tidewater Eye Center existence.

The doctor came in, numbed my eyes and checked the pressure. Suddenly he asked me about my glucose level, hinted that I should lose weight and that there are methods to help. Excuse me, I came for an eye exam not a lecture about my weight and glucose level. I'm size L not obese in any way and my A1C is normal at 5.4 so why he started with comments about my weight god only knows. He spent 15 minutes with me and my bill was $358.00. What a ripoff. I voiced my concern to the billing department and they basically said: "O well!" Do not use their services!!! Really shameful.

Charmaine, did a fantastic job of explaining the benefits and differences between my two eye glasses and setting my expectations. From the ordering process, to the pickup, it was effortless.

I'm someone who processes out loud and changes my mind approximately 15 times (especially with glasses!), and they were endlessly patient and supportive through all of it. We even ended up chatting about dogs, furniture building, sewing, and hobbies--which somehow made the whole experience feel relaxed and human instead of transactional. Even though I'm circling back to switch colors, I felt nothing but encouragement and kindness the whole time. Mikaela and Ryan truly listened, helped me think things through, and made what could've been an overwhelming decision actually fun. If you want knowledgeable people who are also just really pleasant to be around, these are your people.

they don't respect patient time My appointment was…read morescheduled for 11:45 AM. When I initially booked the visit, I clearly informed the staff member that I had an important meeting at 1:00 PM. I was assured that there would be plenty of time to complete the appointment, especially since my meeting location was only about 10 minutes away. I arrived early at 11:35 AM and was taken in at approximately 11:50 AM for an eyesight evaluation, which was completed by 12:05 PM. After that, I was left waiting in the exam room until 12:45 PM without any communication or update from staff. During this time, I could hear staff members laughing and socializing in what appeared to be a lunch break. I found it highly unprofessional to leave a patient waiting for such an extended period while staff were disengaged, without any consideration for the patient's time or schedule. Due to the delay, I was forced to leave in order to avoid being late for my important meeting. When I informed the receptionist that I needed to leave, I was asked to wait briefly. Another staff member then came out and said the doctor was ready to see me, but by that point, I could no longer stay without risking being late. I was told that someone would call me to reschedule the appointment; however, I have not received any follow-up communication. Additionally, I would like to make it clear that I do not expect my insurance to be billed for this incomplete and unsatisfactory visit. If a claim is submitted, I will dispute it. This experience was both frustrating and disappointing. I hope you will address these concerns to ensure better time management, communication, and professionalism in the future.

This is my third visit and they have done nothing except the same eye tests with eye chart and tell me how it takes time. My eyes hurt, are terribly irritated and my vision is slipping by the day. Follow up doc told me I need to meet with surgeon on next visit yet today's visit was not with surgeon. In addition, they were running "a minimum" of one hour behind but you can't leave once you check in to run a get a to-go bite. My appt was for 12:40 and I wasn't seen until after 3:10. And lastly, every visit I feel like I'm just a part on an assembly line. Rote verbiage over and over again.
