Yeah so, kids out of school for no reason, STILL can't see & 3 of them continuously having migraines & will, until I can get them in somewhere ELSE. I HIGHLY do NOT recommend this office to ANYone!!

Waited another week before calling again, was told the lab manager had left for the day but that she would call me back the next day. Next day came and went without a returned phone call. Call back again 24 hours later and they say she is with a customer can she call you back, to which I finally had enough. I asked did someone forget to order them? Was something on back order? No explanation of why there was a delay just that they should be here any day. How dare they take your money up and then treat you like that! I will not return

My family members were patients of Dr. Casella's eye clinic for years; however, due to their…read morebilling staff member, Shana being rude and ugly to me on several occasions we will never return to this eye clinic. Every time we come to see him for an eye exam, we get a bill even though our insurance had stated that we are covered. Stupidly, I continued to pay even though they have shady ways of doing business. We have even called the insurance company and had 3 way conversations stating that the service was covered. This weekend I received another bill and contacted their billing department and this person was again rude and nasty telling me she was not going to resubmit the claim even though she clearly remembered having the 3 way call with my husbands insurance company. I will never ever go back to this eye clinic and hope that you choose a different eye doctor before you go and have to deal with these nasty people who work in his office's billing department. I have never been talked to by an office staff member before in this manner and I refuse to be talked to in the condescending way that I've been spoken to by this person. Dr. Casella, you really should consider getting a different person to handle claims for your office. I asked to speak with you so I could tell you myself and I was ignored.

I honestly never heard from them again, so I guess they took my money and ran with it. So I decided to come here. My mother is a patient here and they honor my insurance here so those were all pluses!!! The staff and doctors here are very friendly and gives you the utmost respect while in their care. I had two appointment with Dr. Ben. He checked my eyes to make sure they were in tip toe shape and he fitted for contacts. The contacts that I was given were and still are the best ones I've ever used. Previous ones would dry out and kind of irritate my eyes but the one he issued me feels like I'm not wearing anything at all!!! I love that!!! I also purchased glasses here as well!!! The lady who help with the glasses purchases is super friendly and very helpful!!! I had a hard time deciding what I liked and didn't like, she gave great suggestions. I went with her suggestions and I think I will have a great pair of glasses. This business also keeps up with its customers by sending appointment reminders and letters in the mail. This is what the last place I used lacked in and I'm grateful that I found a place that didn't miss that mark!!! I think this place will do fine with all my eye care needs!!!!

They were several days overdue with my glasses order, which is annoying but I can deal with that. However, they tell me that they sent it to the Augusta location instead of the Grovetown location and that I have to pick it up over there. That's annoying enough because it's an hour out of my way and I needed them to see. I drive all the way down there, and they tell me it is not there very there and it is at the Grovetown location so I have no idea where they are and Tippett clearly has no clue. I had to take off of work for this crap, and I will now not be able to get them until 4 days later due to my job. They could get their crap together and communicate and confirm where they are. I'm never going back to Tippett because I wasted gas and money due to lost wages because they royally messed up. And after all that, their staff didn't even apologize for the inconvenience or for my lost wages and refused to take any responsibility. They are unprofessional and unorganized. Plus, they make their incompetence other people's problem instead of any accountability.

All of my prescriptions for eyewear have been spot on. I must also give my very highest praise to Rebecca Knott, the contact optician and specialist.

These lenses are truly the best lenses I've ever worn! The clarity and ideal fit are extraordinary! And I really feel like I know since I've worn contacts for 52 years! Thank you so much Rebecca for your help and patience while fitting me. And you're a blast to work with. Not only have I enjoyed my fittings and screenings with you, I have found a sweet new friend. As you can see...I'm very excited with my new contacts!

I made an appointment to get a new eyeglass prescription. As I was led to a room, I told the lady…read morethat I wasn't going to get my eyes dilated today. You'd have thought I told her I was gonna stick needles in my eyes the way she reacted. She told me that "everyone" got their eyes dilated to which I repeated that I wasn't doing that today. She continued to push, saying it was "protocol". I reiterated that I wasn't doing that today and when she continued trying to get me to acquiesce, I told her that she was probably used to old people giving in after that much pressure, but that wasn't gonna happen with me, and I asked her nicely to just drop it. She said she, "Wasn't gonna get talked to like that" and stormed out. When Dr. Daniel came in he seemed a bit uptight... and began to explain why I should get dilated. I told him why I wasn't and that I was supposed to be just getting a new prescription. He seemed a bit chapped and then he walked out. I got the impression that they don't like being told "no". I know the reasons for the need to get dilated, but I just wasn't able to do that TODAY. They did send in a nice lady, Hailey, to examine my eyes and she was friendly and professional.. but I won't be going back there.
