Last update for Abram's Eye Center--promise!…read more My eyes have gotten better! Yes, better! In the three years I've been going to Dr. Abram, he's gotten me on track with taking care of my eyes and put me in contacts that are much more breathable. Because of all this, my vision has improved, prescription has lowered and the overall health of my eyeballs is much better! Can't get much better than that! Highly recommended!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure if eye care in Cleveland is poor in general, so this place looks…read moregood based on the 5 star reviews other folks gave it. Based on my experience, they may just have low expectations. The service levels I've received from Abrams Eye Center are mostly rushed, them acting as though I should be happy that I'm being given the time of day. I spent significant time with an assistant, who never introduced himself, or told me what he was doing. When the Dr. did arrive, the explanation of issues with my eyes were dismissive, as though any serious issues that might have been identified, were nothing to worry about. Overall, not a fun thing when you only get one set of eyes. Additionally, I'm not much impressed with their lack of callbacks. I got a trial pair of contacts, but it's been my responsibility to call them, and tell them how I liked them. When I called them again to try to get a different set of contacts, they merely told me they would let the contact fitters know I wasn't happy with what I had. No information on what I might like, no timing they would get back to me. I'll have to see if I can get time to get there to talk to the actual contact fitter, but it's clear the work here is mine to do (and I have to pay them for the privilege).

Mom is hard of hearing and losing her sight. This time she experienced sharp pain in her failing eye. Nicely and efficiently resolved with some Motrin drops for the eye.

She along with the red-head that was at the front desk made a nasty comment in regards to a paying customer about their appearance and the word that came from the red/heads mouth was ,"Ew!" Totally uncalled for! I didn't want to make a scene so me taking the high rode i've decided to leave a review, I feel these two should face disciplinary actions for displaying poor services which was a result of me having a poor experience!

How on earth this Eye Center receives such high remarks and stars on Google is beyond me. This is…read morethe worst Medical Center EVER! Here's why I think so: 1. Far too many clients/patients to doctor ratio. 2. Dr. Loizos and Dr. Bedell were more than 45 minutes to an hour late for each appointment my wife was scheduled to attend. 3. There is absolutely no customer/patient follow up. This is very alarming for cataract surgery is pretty serious business. We are talking about a person's eyesight for goodness sake. 4. Dr. Loizos seemed to fumble his way through my wife's procedures, kind of guessing what to do next. 5. Dr. Bedell has excellent patient care, but is hesitant to do anything and seems incompetent at times. 6. My wife never received the results she was looking for. No, we don't wanna go back and have them fix her eyes again for we have lost faith and confidence In their abilities. 7. This facility takes advantage of elderly people and has them waiting around all day!! Please reread item number 1. 8. The receptionists are rude and crude. 9. The facility itself is dated. Old equipment, old computers, old bathrooms. Just plain old. Not too sure what you're doing with all of the patient's money. 10. Hate is a strong word. I hated having my wife treated here! 11. No one in the entire organization returns for calls or answers the phone. Often times you are put on Terminal hold. I've nicknamed it, the phone tree of death. 12. If you read all through this and you still want to use Fairview Park Eye Center, good luck!!

If I could give these incompetent people a negative star I would. Tried to get my mother in law…read morescheduled for double cataract surgery and their scheduling procedure is so complicated for even their own front office staff to do properly , First they told me, my mother-in-law needed to be put on 3 different schedules. I will admit I had to reschedule first eval appointment to due conflict in work schedules since I'm a business owner, so I call to reschedule and from there my nightmare began.... I scheduled an appointment, got a text to confirm. 3 hours later, a text pops up for a different date and time. I call to ask what was going on and to confirm which date was correct and I was met with rude, condescending responses, their answers kept changing with repeated questions, I was told she needed 3 appointments, then the next person I talked to said no, only 2 appointments needed then acted like the other lady never told me 3 appointments were needed. Did admit their fault but never gave me one apology so All I asked for from that moment on.... Was to stop talking(because the more they spoke the more confused the process became) and to just schedule the appointment. The office manager Kept saying I'm trying to, she is trying to but you..... putting the blame on me... again I said let's get past the point of conversation since you just keep going back into the conflict instead of a resolution just to try to prove your point even after you admitted fault. again please let's agree to disagree and just schedule my 79 year old, mentally handicapped mother in law her appointment....To which I was seriously told at this point, knowing the mistakes were on their scheduling practices that they will not see her at all at this point!!!!!! I was so distraught by this point I'm in tears, and feeling beyond overwhelmed, felt not heard or respected so I get yet another referral to a different office, different doctor to find out that these caddy, unprofessional, rude, incompetent front office staff literally informed the new referral office I was a problem to deal with and to not schedule me with them either....IM PRETTY SURE THAT IS ILLEGAL AND A HIPPA VIOLATION if I ever saw one. So screw you.... I wouldn't let a rat be seen here. Absolutely disgusting behavior and I'm now waiting to hear back to a complaint I filed with the Ohio Medical Board!!!! I have actually been in the medical administration field for over 10 years and I have never come across more unprofessional, caddy girls... not women because grown professionals don't act like this. craziest part I wasn't even the patient... i am a full time caregiver to my mother in law which is beyond challenging most days without adding such nonsense. I was only scheduling then someone else was to take her to the appointment... beyond wild!!!!! I thought to check a completely different area more than 45 minutes in the opposite direction of your office so you couldn't black ball me again from trying to get care for my mother in law. and was scheduled within 5 minutes, with lighthearted conversation and questions answered with manners and respect.... You need to hire an entire new front office staff, and your office manager is not any better! A lot of the reviews say the same things about how horrible front staff is... I will make sure to tell everyone I know not to go here!
