What should have been a simple appointment turned into a mess because of the front office…read more The appointment email made it look like my appointment was at 1:15 and said to arrive 15 minutes early, so I arrived at 1:00. I checked in and was told to sit down. After waiting with no updates for nearly an hour, I went up to the desk around 1:50 to ask what was going on. That's when I was told my appointment was "actually" at 1:30 and that the email somehow accounts for the 15 minute buffer. That explanation made zero sense. I was then told I'd be next, but multiple patients for the same doctor were called back ahead of me. At 2:10, a staff member came out and loudly accused me of not completing my paperwork. When I started filling it out, I noticed the back page already had my signature and date. I pointed this out and was told I didn't fill out the section on health issues or surgeries. I don't have any. Somehow this turned into my problem. It felt very much like they were trying to shift blame onto me to cover up how far behind they were, and the attitude was rude and unnecessary. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is the doctor, who was excellent. Unfortunately, the front desk chaos, poor communication, and lack of professionalism completely overshadowed the visit. The front office seriously needs to get it together.

But, this review is about my recent cataract surgery, which wasn't with Dr. Grutzmacher. At my first appointment, the doctor mentioned that it is difficult to get 20/20 results when the patient has had LASIK and that when we considered lenses Toric might be an option. At the pre-surgery appointment, my surgeon said that regular lenses would be fine because of what "a good job the LASIK surgeon had done."

Awful experience with the front desk after a great consultation with Dr. Barnette…read moreI've been searching for a trustworthy place to get vision correction surgery in the Sacramento/Roseville area. After a frustrating visit to a chain clinic that felt like an assembly line, I was relieved to find California LASIK & Eye. My consultation with Dr. Barnette was excellent--he was thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. He supported my preference for PRK over LASIK and explained both options in detail. What impressed me most was his proactive approach to dry eye screening. He prescribed eye drops, asked me to stop wearing contacts for a month, and scheduled a free follow-up. It felt like real care, not just a transaction. Unfortunately, things took a turn when I tried to follow up on one simple question: had my dry eye improved enough to safely proceed with surgery? That question was missed during my second appointment, so I called the front desk for clarification. Instead, I was told by Megan that dry eye was a separate medical issue, and because they didn't accept my insurance, I couldn't speak to the doctor or schedule another appointment. I was confused--dry eye had been part of the pre-op evaluation and treatment plan, so why was it suddenly being treated as unrelated? She also said the doctor wouldn't clear me for surgery if dry eye was still an issue, which didn't sound convincing. She offered to release my medical notes so I could "read it myself," but that only raised more questions. In a follow-up call, Megan gave me two options: pay $283 out of pocket for a dry eye visit or pay the full amount upfront for surgery and ask the question during the pre-op. When I asked how I could commit to surgery without knowing if I needed more time to treat dry eye, she just repeated the two options without trying to help. What made it worse was how I was spoken to--Megan was curt, dismissive, and repeatedly cut me off. It completely eroded the trust I had in the clinic. I didn't mind paying out of pocket for necessary care, but the rigid policies and poor communication made me question whether I'd receive proper post-op support if anything went wrong. It's disappointing that such a promising experience with Dr. Barnette was derailed. I still appreciated his consultation, but the people he chose to represent his practice also reflect on him--and in my case, that was a deal breaker. I hope the clinic reconsiders how they handle follow-up care and patient questions, especially when those questions directly impact surgical readiness.

On December 10th, 2024, I went to my first appointmen with Barnett. When I went to check out and…read moreget my date for cataract surgery, I was shocked and irritated to hear I owed $45 per eye, $90, for the drops given before the examination. That money I had set aside for Christmas presents. I didn't know about that before the appointment. I turned my face away, said, "This is 'f-ing crazy. " I also said Merry Christmas to myself. I was not irritated at the staff; I was irritated with the situation and disappointed. I also asked if they would check again to see if my insurance didn't cover it. Barnett came running down the hall accusing me of cussing out his staff. I was blindsided. Didn't see it coming. My words were not directed toward the staff. Barnett told his staff to cancel my surgery. I might add, I haven't been able to see well for 2 years. I was diagnosed back in April. I was also disappointed the surgery wouldn't be for 6 months. Depressed. It was a momentary reaction on my part, and I had no ill-will toward the staff. I tried to explain, but I couldn't. He yelled, calling me a liar! All this was in front of other patients in the waiting room. I begged Barnett to not to cancel my surgery! After calling me a liar, he promptly told his staff to take me off the books...no surgery. He threw me out of the office. I left in tears. A woman in the waiting room came to my car and told me she saw and heard the whole thing. She said," I watched you, heard you, and you didn't do anything wrong." She comforted me and was shocked at Barnett's behavior toward me. I still cry and get stomach aches over the event. I tried to apologize, but I wasn't allowed. Instead, I was called a liar and refused surgery and help. There should be a list of rules on his lobby wall: 1. No having a bad day 2. No irritation, depression, or questioning about insurance allowed. 3. No foul language allowed, not even to yourself. 4. No comments allowed 5. Must stay quiet and obey 6. No speaking 7. Sit down, wait, be treated without a word 8. Check out quietly with nothing said about money owed. 9. No questions...just pay 10. Smile, be cheerful, leaving any trials you're having outside the door. Do not bring them into this office. 11. No depression, irritation, frustration, profanity allowed! If you see Barnett, he'll be nice and apparently he will do a good job. He wasn't to me. If you ask him about this, he'll continue to call me a liar. Make sure nobody close to you died the day before you see Barnett...a husband, a child, a good friend...which might affect your state of mind and heart and being in a sad, depressed or frustrated way. That wouldn't be allowed either. Factually, Daryla 70 year senior On a fixed income.
