This place is fantastic! All modern equipment to assess eyes, great staff and doctor. I'm really…read morehappy I found them.

My former optometrist sold the practice and in the transition also lost the specialist who dealt…read morewith scleral lenses. This is a specialty, large-diameter, rigid gas permeable contact lens that rests only on the white part of your eye, the sclera. Designed to vault over the entire corne­al surface and rest on the sclera, the scleral lenses can morph an irregular cornea into a smooth optical surface to correct vision problems caused by keratoconus and other forms of corneal irregularity. The space between the cornea and the back of the scleral lens acts as a fluid reservoir, continuously bathing the cornea. This can provide for a more comfortable fitting. So it was important for me to find a specialist who could properly fit this type of lens. Thankfully, Dr. Joe is just the person to do this! He was able to correct my vision significantly so that I am near 20/20 corrected vision using scleral lenses in both eyes. It is a bit of trial and error to get the right fit, so it takes a few appointments and patience to get there. The practice was really good with the scheduling for the 4 or so appointments it took to get the fit. Each lense is specially made, so they must be ordered and shipped and then fitted. I was very pleased with the service and care provided by Hopkins Eye Center and highly recommend them.

Dr McGregor And Associates - My eyes now compared to what they looked like before. I've now developed  yellow spots called pinguecula.

Raise your hand if you scheduled a contact‑renewal exam and were redirected to the practice's…read moredry‑eye specialist because your optometrist was "unavailable," and instead of a contact exam, she briefly checked your eyes, said she was "checking dryness," and instilled fluorescein drops with benoxinate--without disclosing the drug, procedure, risks, or that it dulls pain and masks harm. Raise your hand if a meibomian gland expression was performed with clinically damaging force--enough to make your eyes feel pushed forward--while an undisclosed anesthetic left you unable to feel pain. Raise your hand if the provider later denied using drops, claimed she used fluorescein strips, and you were told there was no difference--that you were confused--without ever disclosing that the difference is an anesthetic. Raise your hand if the same dry eye specialist examined your eyes with white, prolonged green, and blue lights, and immediately after the visit you developed light sensitivity, followed by worsening dry, achy, gritty eyes with blurred vision, tearing, contact‑lens intolerance, discomfort, eye fatigue, and delayed accommodative and motion‑tracking response consistent with post‑procedural functional visual disruption, and when you called the practice, you were told the physician said the dye was "mostly water" and not causal--omitting other procedures she performed that are clinically known to cause your symptoms. Raise your hand if, at a follow‑up, the doctor raised red flags by omitting procedures, admitting green‑light use only after being pressed and minimizing it as brief despite it being the longest part of the exam. Raise your hand if you later learned the green light was not for dryness but to examine the back of your eyes--something the elective screenings you declined would have allowed--yet it was placed near‑last during what you believed was "checking dryness" to conceal exam scope and added ocular harm. Raise your hand if your original optometrist said a nondilated retinal exam was "really, really super tough," then reversed course to praise the dry eye specialist once records showed she viewed your retina, as if you were unable to grasp the inconsistency. Raise your hand if the dry eye specialist portrayed to your original optometrist that she used fluorescein strips, not drops, and he dismissed your concern--without disclosing the anesthetic difference that enabled her to aggressively manipulate your meibomian glands, causing the very condition she's licensed to treat. Raise your hand if you now live with chronic dry, achy eyes; light and weather sensitivity; eye fatigue; limited contact‑lens tolerance; blurred vision despite correction; and difficulty focusing--symptoms that have significantly disrupted your quality of life, work, and nursing program. Raise your hand if your medical records were altered to frame these symptoms as pre‑existing, and Dr. McGregor and Associates denied adequate care by refusing to amend them and colluded with other optometrists to reframe your medical history and diagnosis, blocking timely, relevant treatment by other providers. Raise your hand if Dr. McGregor and Associates are refusing to release audit trails proving record tampering and are violating HIPAA by failing to respond within 60 days to an amendment request sent over three months ago and verbalized five months ago. Raise your hand if you're still fighting for full accountability. I haven't even addressed the insurance fraud or the contact lens exam and refraction that she never did. On October 21, 2025, I entered Dr. McGregor and Associates with healthy eyes and left a dry eye patient with visual disturbances. Evidence is on YouTube: search "Green Light, Gaslight, 1‑2‑3" to access the channel. Please share to protect others. These "specialists" use the same skills to cause dry eye that they use to treat it, during what should be basic exams, on unsuspecting patients with healthy eyes. Please, BEWARE. Checkmarks don't change direction. This is fraud.

WARNING FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS. I spoke with an associate over the phone to book my annual eye exam…read more I plainly asked how much an eye exam costs for a self paying patient. I was told a range between $60-$200. I replied that seemed like a quite a large range. The associate said that's because it depends on what types of tests they need to run based on what they find throughout the eye exam and that services could be refused by the patient throughout the exam. So I go ahead and book my appointment, receive my exam and then go to check out and am told I owe $200. Never at any point during the exam was I told I was receiving additional testing or services that could be refused. Everything felt like standard testing procedures, so I was anticipating paying $60, or at least somewhere close to that... I am pretty disappointed. The staff was all very friendly and professional. But the way they communicate their prices (especially to self-paying patients) NEEDS TO BE REFINED TO MANAGE PATIENT EXPECTATIONS. I mean, if an exam costs $200, then it cost $200. Just don't tell me I will only owe $60 if things go well when all along I was in it for $200 no matter what. This makes your business seem shady, which I don't believe fairly represents the nice people that work there.
