Getting a copy of the results myself or faxed to my endocrinologist as requested has been a 4-month plus ordeal since my exam last October! TOTALLY unacceptable! Horrible customer service of continuous transfers to a "medical records" department voicemail box that absolutely never returns your call/request and when they do it's a general front desk assistant who advises they need to transfer to medical records and we start the endless, useless cycle again!! I can now understand the other 1-star reviews completely! What a shame, I thought this office had promise, on to another eye doctor office for my future needs. Do not waste your time here, there are better choices elsewhere apparently!

Dr. Ticho was nice and sounded knowledgeable when we spoke with him about my 5-yr old daughter's…read moreneed for surgery on her tear duct. At that visit he also gave her a new prescription for glasses with only a brief exam (not the traditional exam she had with her previous doctor). Though his explanation for his style of exam made sense, it ended up being so far off that once we got the script filled at Moses Eye Care, she required a new exam and a new script from a second opinion. Back to the whole idea of the surgery... he told us to talk with his receptionist on the way out to schedule the surgery. She told me she doesn't do that and so she gave me a card and handwrote the hospital's surgical center's number at the top. She told me to call the lady named on the business card and schedule the surgery myself. When I called, the hospital laughed at me. They said only doctors can schedule surgeries and I had to go back to Dr Ticho's office to figure it out there. I don't think so! So - we will NOT go back to Dr. Ticho. It doesn't matter how good he is. The office staff was sick and coughing on me and my kids. The office staff was really rude (reason for not getting new lense script filled there) and they tried making me schedule a surgery for my own child (which cannot be done).Waste of time!!

I go in for my appointment today and I am pulled into the office saying i need to pay $100 in order to be seen. I said that I am on a payment plan and i pay you all monthly. Why didn't someone call me to advise that I would need to bring money in order to be seen. Mind you I have been to this office for 8 months and it has never been an issue. The lady I was speaking to said that its $100 or I cant be seen. I have paid this place over $3K and you want to cancel my appointment over $100? She said that she cannot allow me to be seen without $100. So i said cancel the appointment and i will find a new physician she said ok. So you lost a patient over $100.
