You are not allowed to refuse. Most places charge $30 for the same tests and offer dilation for free as an option. The staff seemed nice but forced to robotically say the same line to customers all day about the doctor insistence on these mandatory additional charges. I looked up the charges on my phone as soon as they told me about it and found out that dilation was usually an option and that the charge was on the highest end of typical, so walked out and found somewhere else nearby later that same day and am so glad I did. I'll review them separately. Again the place is fine the employees are nice and the eyeglass sales woman was very committed and dedicated and interested but whoever makes their policies is out to make the most money possible with the least work possible.

I called ahead to ask if they do eyeglass frame repair on frames I purchased from them in 2013. They said yes and gave me the address of their location (here) that is open Mondays. (Their East Cobb location is not open Mondays.) I showed up very soon after they opened. I recognized Dr. Patel even though it had been over ten years. I explained the two things wrong with my glasses. A member of her team at the front desk examined them and agreed they could be repaired easily. In fewer than 15 minutes, someone walked to the lobby with the repaired glasses. Amazing! In this day and age when so much comes extra, when businesses are squeezed to nickel and dime their customers to make ends meet, I genuinely expected to be charged for this repair. Blazingly fast service and no pressure to buy anything even though it had been over ten years since they made a penny off me? I'm going to make a point to come back when I get my vision prescription renewed in a week. I hope that if you're reading this review it means you're checking them out. Have confidence in visiting them and trusting them to do right by you. I'm no one special. Not a VIP. But even after so long, they happily repaired my eyeglasses restoring my ability to get work done with my vision "restored" so to speak. If you do visit them, mention this review to help reinforce positive rewards for friendly service. :-)

The staff on the glasses side even know my daughter and me by name -- that's how long we've been patients here. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have been extremely disappointing. At my last visit with my 3-year-old, I arrived at 9:40 AM and wasn't finished until after 11:30 -- nearly two hours of waiting. I understand that delays can happen, but this level of disorganization, especially when caring for a young child, is unacceptable. When I came back for my own appointment, I waited over 30 minutes in the lobby before even being seen. I always arrive on time or early and schedule the earliest appointments possible to avoid long waits, but that clearly didn't help this time. It's very disheartening, because over the years I've purchased at least five pairs of glasses, two pairs of sunglasses, and two pairs of glasses for my daughter. I even planned to get another pair this month. Sadly, after these last two experiences, I've lost confidence in the practice. My family and I will be taking our business elsewhere, and my mother -- who was planning to start coming here -- has now decided not to. I truly hope the office takes this feedback seriously. Loyal patients deserve better communication, organization, and respect for their time.

I'm now in my third year of coming to this location. After my first review, Heather (the office…read moremanager) reached out to me. That meant a lot, so I thought I'd stick around. Last year I had minor issues while picking up my new sunglasses. The lenses were swapped. They fixed it, so not a huge deal there. We're all human, mistakes happen. My complaint is for June of this year. Dr. Garcia was great. He adjusted my prescription since it said it was under corrected. Fine, eyesight can change, I don't have an issue there. I picked out a new pair, and picked them up. I tried them on, and I couldn't see a thing. I wear progressive lenses, so it seemed like the measurements were off. One of the girls checked my measurements and agreed they were off, and sent them off to get them fixed. Got the new pair and tried them out and the same thing. I asked if I could swap the frames, since maybe they are not a good fit. She said fine. She didn't offer to help me find anything new, so I found something and crossed my fingers. Fast forward to now. It's now 3 months after my initial appointment. I go in the third time to get my new glasses. I tried them on and they seem a little bit better. The girl at the front desk (the same one that helped me the last few times) said to just give it time to adjust and to try them on when my eyes are rested. I also mentioned that they feel a bit off, I thought they maybe just needed to be adjusted. After adjusting the nose pads, she said to just try them out and come back if needed. I don't want to come back a 4th time! There was another technician sitting at one of the desks with no customer (the office was empty) but there no offer to assist either. I finally just walked out. The office staff (especially the girl that helped me several times) is not very helpful. I always feel like I'm bothering her and that she doesn't want to be there. I was also told that Heather would contact me about the difference in my glasses and I never heard back. I don't know if I owe more money, or if I am owed a refund. These new glasses still don't feel right. I'm struggling to find the "center". They do need to be adjusted, since they are digging into my ears. For that, I'll just go to a different eye place for assistance. Hopefully I can find a place that will actually take the time and care to assist. At this point I don't know what to do. I've worn glasses my whole life, and I've never had an issue like this before. Transition period yes, but never the struggle to find the "center" of the glasses. It's been over a week, and I'm still struggling. I'm beyond frustrated.

As a pretty new…read morepatient with a few visits, I received a statement for optical eye pictures taken and obviously the insurance company did not pay for. I originally contacted the office to question the balance due and learned that the insurance company did not pay, however after speaking with one of the staff members, I was told he would see if the charge could be removed and would contact me in 24 no more than 48 hours (no response). A week later, I received a notice that the balance would go to collections on a certain date, so I immediately contacted the office once again and requested to speak with the office manager (no response) specially stating . I never received a call from the first staff member and I DID not want the balance placed in collections and if that would be the result of it, I will just pay the bill regardless of what he advised me of originally. A few days later, I received a call from the same originally gentlemen, which stated after speaking with the doctors they decided to remove the charge and explained the next time if pictures are required, I would be responsible (okay fair enough). Upon receiving my mail to learn they sent the balance over to collections after stating the charge would be removed and I am highly upset due to the fact this eye centers business office staff members to do not return promised phone calls nor do they follow up within the time frame specifically stated and the worse part of this whole situation sending my account over to collection and the ONLY way I could put it is, totally deceptive on there point to the point I strongly feel I need to find another eye center, due to the lack of being totally incompetent when it involve a patient's account. At this point, I don't know who the office manager is, because I still have not received a call back from the office when this whole issue started from the very beginning, which is mind blowing when you ask to speak with an office manager regardless someone should respond (but again NO one wants to work these days). I really don't know what's wrong with the health care system these days nor some of the people employed, it honestly appears some just don't want to work, but at the end of the day expect a pay check, because clearly this should not have happen.
