Having gone to Pearl Vision for over 30 years, maybe I've just been fortunate in having better than…read moreaverage experiences with optometric and other eye care facilities in the past. Unfortunately I failed to read all the negative reviews posted here which mimicked my same experience, and which would have prompted me to go elsewhere for my annual exam. I anticipated paying out of pocket to some degree, even though my supplemental vision insurance through Aetna typically covers everything including a trial pair of contact lenses. However I was told at check in that my 'fitting fee' would range anywhere from $40 to $190 and that my contact lenses would not 'necessarily' be covered. So after the initial introduction to Dr Wise I explained that in the past I had been a patient at Pearl vision in California and because I'm on a monthly budget and my questions had not been clearly answered by the staff, I was not feeling comfortable about the exam. Dr Wise responded that her staff does not provide a cost estimate until the insurance makes that determination. That she was the 'Doctor' and I should be happy to have the exam and that no one ever asks her about costs. She then told me to go back to Pearl - and California - and refused to proceed with the exam. As others mentioned below I am still in disbelief that anyone engaged in the medical industry could be so uncaring about a patients financial questions within today's rising costs. But more importantly as a senior citizen I felt totally disrespected and discriminated against. Since I had been on vacation in Beaufort at the time, I scheduled the next appointment with a Charleston optometrist who was able to give me an exact outline of what to expect on the date of exam with nothing more than my membership ID: No out of pocket - zero deductible - first sample pair free. Done.
