As per their recorded message upon calling, I left my number for a call back which they never called. I left a voice message without success.

I am not one to give negative reviews, but I would not want anyone of my friends to go to this poorly run medical facility. D. Johnson

One of the few places that said they could help was OC of Texas. Unfortunately, her visit on April 30 became an emergency as she was on her last pair or two of daily's and was hoping for a quick turnaround. Bottom line, She finally received her prescription from the doctor on July 1, 2020. The "sample pair" of contacts that she was supposed to be wearing this whole time were not able to be picked up until a day or two before this fitting appointment. We understand that things have run amuck with Corona virus, just not THIS bad. We hope to NEVER have to return again. Sorely disappointed.

Do not use this eye doctor. They grossly overbook their appointments and have excessive wait…read moretimes. But that's not why I'm writing this review.... I let them know that I had Lasix surgery done over 10 years ago (Mono-vision type with 1 close up eye and 1 for far away) and now I am needing "readers" to see close up. The Dr said "oh, we don't recommend Mon-vision Lasix in a condescending manner and seemed to almost snark. Then this pompous woman, who I found out later was the Dr's wife, was going to be writing the prescription. She was spouting "I do it this way" and "I do that" and I took the script and went on my merry way because I'd been there for nearly 2 hours and just wanted to get out of there. I went to the eye glass store and ordered 2 sets of glasses, clear and sunglasses. If you've purchased glasses lately you know they are not cheap, I purchased the extras, scratch resistance and polarized'' the works; spent nearly 1,300. When I got the glasses I was told it could take time to get used to them so I gave it time and found that I just couldn't use them. The Dr./his wife had written the prescription for both eyes to be corrected the same way, so now my close eye was trying to see far and my far away eye was trying to focus on closeup. This made it hard to drive and read to go back and forth, just very disorienting since my eyes had adjusted to mono-vision all these years . I called the Drs office to see if I could get the prescription re-written to account for the mono-vision and was told they just don't do that. Then, that same egotistic woman told me the only solution would be for me to just not drive'''' She was very rude, unhelpful and her lack of customer service skills show her inept ability to do her job. DO NOT USE THIS OPTHALMOLOGIST
