I try to be fair in my reviews but this I cannot overlook. We were sent here by referral to have an…read moreeye refraction exam for my Father. Days prior I received 5 notifications to confirm appointment which I acknowledged each time. I thought that was excessive granted this was an important appointment that we had no choice to attend. I never received anything else what to bring, what is needed as we assumed eye measurement only. Anyway, accompanying my Father, she was asking many questions and he is hearing impaired. I tried to intervene a few times and she was abrupt and condescending in her words to him. We didn't bring a list of his medications and his eye medications were in the list from the referred Dr. When she asked what eye meds he was taking she asked do you wait 15 min between eye meds? My Father said no, then she immediately lectured him that it's useless and went on and on. The energy in the room changed as I felt her attitude was just simply rude. My Father waits 3-5 minutes in between per his instructions on the package. If she had listened waited for him to respond instead of lecture then he would have spoken. I tried to retrieve his medication list but this office has NO internet connection. Again, she could have retrieved the info from the referring Dr. So in comes Dr. Lee. Her bedside manner is not warm and welcoming. She looked at my Father for under 2 minutes when I was getting a call from our referring Dr which I thought might be important. I kindly asked if I can take the call and told her who it was. She had a blank look on her face and said she was "DONE" with the exam!!! BTW there is a piece of paper that says no phone calls in the room. I totally understand. However, this is the referring Dr which is giving this Dr business!! I was appalled by this behavior. I get you can be strict and controlling with calls, but again, referring Dr calling could be important and it was not a personal call!!! I did let our referring Dr know of our experience here. I also looked at the reviews after and there is a concerning pattern how others our treated with this particular team. Please treat the elderly with dignity. Kindness goes a long way!!!!

Beware - they will try to charge you for the difference between what your insurance pays and what…read morethey charge, this is balance billing and is illegal. The manager strung me along for over 2 months telling me that my insurance paid the wrong amount for my daughter's contact lenses and unless I paid the difference ($800+) they wouldn't give them to me, even though they had received them. It wasn't until my insurance told her on a 3-way call with me that they must release the contact lenses per their contract, that they finally agreed to let me pick them up. We will not be returning to Poway Eyeworks again and others should be made aware of their unethical and illegal business practices. I waited a week to write this review thinking maybe they would call and apologize for their negligence. Considering how many conversations have been had over the last couple months that seems like the most reasonable thing to do in this situation, but nothing, which only further confirms it wasn't a mistake, but was intentional.

I have been going here for about 2 years, but I think it's time to go find a business that cares…read moreabout client needs. These two stars are only because I had a good eye exam experience with them, and it was a delight working with Dr. Jay. I think their rude manager and staff, and overall reluctance to help is their problem. I ordered a pair of prescription sunglasses from them about a month ago. At the time of ordering they told me that it would be ready in two weeks. I leave for a month-long trip out of the country in two days and that was the sole reason I ordered the glasses so far in advance. After multiple calls to enquire, all they keep giving me is answers like we can't do anything to expedite them, our hands are tied, our insurance dictates the lab, etc. I have been with the same insurance for 8 years so it's hard for me to see how my insurance suddenly has stopped working efficiently. They behaved as if I never mentioned my month-long trip ever. They are leaving me voicemails saying your glasses will be ready next Wednesday and the team will promptly call you. Well, my phone will be off and I won't be in the country next Wednesday. One of their rude employees even said "I know everyone would rather have their stuff expedited and have them before time", well after a month of waiting I feel I am hardly asking to "expedite" anything prematurely. The manager didn't even return my call back because I missed her first call and she left me a voicemail after that when I returned her call she wasn't available an di could never get hold of her. It's like they have just decided to not help customers out AT ALL. They are not ready to accept any blame or fix anything and talk to me as if I am at fault for their incompetence. After so many good reviews, I genuinely thought I had found a good optometry in my new community as I value local businesses so much but I am reluctant to do any transaction with them in the future. I know losing ONE customer might not affect businesses but I shouldn't have to beg for good customer service. I am highly saddened and disappointed as a customer to be working with businesses that have no heart, soul, or empathy.

I now use Oasis artificial tears (preservative free), OcuSoft eyelid scrub and warm wet compress on eyes everyday. My eyes never felt better. He did not try to sell me glasses I don't need or talk me into surgery I don't need. One opthamologist even tried to put a needle in my eyes and wasn't giving me anytime to even think about it so I walked out. Give Dr Bloomberg a try. You will be very happy you did.

I absolutely love this doctor. I have been her patient for a few years now. I was referred to her…read morebecause she was a Glaucoma specialist and I have narrow angles which is a concern for glaucoma. Shortly after I became her patient, Dr. Lee found small cataracts in both eyes and had been following me on this until just recently when she performed cataract surgery on both eyes (one eye at a time). I see really good now! I found Dr. Lee to be smart (have you seen her posted credentials in patient rooms--Stanford and Harvard--WOW). honest and professional. The cataract surgery was a breeze (I cant believe I'm saying this). It was done at Rancho Bernardo Surgery Center. Thank you Dr. Lee.

I highly recommend Dr Lee and No County Eye Center in Poway.

I have been going here for years and having a wonderful experience. I took my daughter there nearly…read morea year ago and she had wanted contacts, I told her that she would have to pay for the contacts side of things and I would pay her back after three months, and she agreed. Well, she paid her cash that she'd saved, and the young man was a little flustered about taking cash (like he didn't know what to do with it). He had problems printing out a receipt, so we said we'd get it on the way out and we forgot. Six months later Scripps says we didn't pay. They have been "looking into it" supposedly. I have even gone to see their billing dept. we had even told the doctor that she'd paid cash because she was proud of herself. Now I am stuck with another bill! A year and a half ago, Scripps head surgeon of neurology diagnosed me with a brain aneurism, his radiologist disagrees, and so did other neurologists from other hospitals. My ent misdiagnosed my cancer (that I had) and he didn't medicate me correctly for an ear disease I have. So I left. They have always managed to notch my family's accounts - but this is a biggie - this sounds like a problem to me in Rancho Bernardo ophthalmology. And why did I need to make a category, did they take the old one down? I will continue re-posting. What happened was very wrong! My 12 year old worked hard for her money - and now it's just missing! I don't know the gentleman's name who was working there, but he was new and young and African American. I've been back a few times to talk with him about this, and he wasn't at the desk. He might have put it in the wrong account, I don't know - I just want to get this taken care of.

The woman checking me out gave me so much attitude for asking for my prescription and I repeatedly tried to tell her all I wanted was the paper prescription because I thought she didn't understand. I have never gone to an eye doctor and not been able to get my prescription. She told me it was because it's medical devices for my face and it's not like at a doctors office where they give you a prescription and you fill it at CVS. I was astounded by her tone and answer. I really like the doctors but I left there with no intention of my family going back. I then looked up to see if it's legal for an eye doctor's office to charge you for your prescription. It's not!
