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.

Had an appt for 9:15 and was called and asked if I could come in at 8:30 instead. I arrived at 8:30…read moreand proceeded to wait for over an hour to be seen. No apology or acknowledgement at all until I mentioned it. I believe this was very disrespectful of my time. Doctors think their time is somehow more important than mine.

I was trying to get lasik and told them I was allergic to NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory…read moreDrugs) and found out the hard way they prescribed me NSAID eye drops. Fast forward to my birthday weekend spent in bed with swollen eyes and having to cancel all of my plans. Between this clearly avoidable issue, the fact that it took over two hours to do the lasik consultation (of which I spent 1 and half hours waiting), and the $200 fee for the consultation (while other eye doctors do this for free) that only resulted in me being blind for my birthday, I simply don't know why anyone would go to this place. Would definitely not recommend this place.

When I finally did go through with the first visit, I was surprised that there was no pain involved. The actual injection literally takes about three seconds. After the first visit, the intimidation was completely gone. Hopefully, this puts your mind at ease if you're about to begin the same treatment. I had multiple visits, each lasting about an hour which included several eye exams before the actual treatment. I went to the Riverwatch location and did not experience any longer than expected delays. Although they don't recommend it, I was able to drive myself home after each visit with the help of some really dark sunglasses. I'm not sure if my vision has improved much, but I can say that it hasn't gotten any worse. So, I feel the treatment helps.

I also picked up some racial tones (was told they would hate to see my account go to collections - why was that assumption made when you must pay before the procedure). I told them I would pay for the procedure out of pocket, if need be, but they still would not schedule me. Who turns down cash payments? The way they handled me it seems like there may be some insurance fraud taking place. I was told that some medical insurance companies had started paying for the procedure that I needed and that they would check with my insurance. However, when the benefits person came in to talk to us, she came in automatically stating that my insurance would not pay in a condescending tone as if my insurance was low rate, which I know it is not. I have never had a problem with them paying a claim in the past. She never even called them before she made that statement. So, I called to check for myself only to be told that they do have the procedure code listed with an allowable amount. So, I get her on the phone with the insurance company and she would not even allow the guy to speak. She kept overtalking him. I asked them to file my insurance with the understanding that I know I am responsible for the balance if my insurance don't pay the claim. I was told they could not do that because they knew the insurance would not pay so then I asked to be put on the schedule and I will pay upfront for the procedure and was still told they could not do that. Then when I met with the Dr. again, he said they were assuming all the risks and would hate to have to send me to collections if I disappeared. How are you assuming all the risks if I am paying up front? During this meeting after they decided my insurance would not pay then the Dr. (whom was on board for the procedure during my appt) offered a different treatment plan which he stated would benefit me right now and then later on down the road when they thought they could bill my insurance we could do the procedure. Why is there so much emphasis on billing the insurance unless there is some type of fraud involved? The Dr.'s credibility dropped at that moment for me because he allowed what his benefits department told him to alter the treatment plan he offered me stating he did not know my discretionary income and didn't want to take food off my table but shouldn't I be the one, as the paying patient, decide what I can or cannot afford? Something is not right about this place.
