I just came back from my eye exam at V Eye P Eyecare, and I really felt the need to write a review. I was very pleased with the level of service. My last optometrist in Dallas was HORRIBLE. His office was cramped, and he wasn't friendly at all. I had the complete opposite experience at this office. The office was spacious and the staff was attentive. The wait time was also very reasonable. They called me back in about 5-10 minutes.
Monica, the front desk person, was amazing. She was so sweet and very friendly. I really appreciated that. When she did my first view eye test before the doctor came in, she was great. I really liked her a lot.
Dr. Bhana was also really good as well. Not the most friendly, but at least cordial. She explained the different tests and what they were for. She also recommended that I choose a different kind of contact lens since the ones I've been using for the past 10+ years were an older technology and not letting enough oxygen through to my eyes. I really appreciated her taking the time to explain everything to me. She also told me that I had slight astigmatism in my left eye, explaining why my left eye felt a little weaker than my right. My previous doctor didn't bother to tell me that.

UPDATE AS OF 8/1/12:
I will not be using this location again. While the customer service at my time of the visit was great, I have not a good experience with them since then.
When I called to make an appointment, I told the receptionist that I did not have insurance and would be a private pay patient (i.e. all of this is coming out of my own pocket). I made sure to ask how much a new patient exam for glasses AND contacts would be WITHOUT insurance. I was told $120. Sure, ok, that makes enough sense. HOWEVER, when I went into the office for the appointment, they asked for my insurance card. I told them I didn't have vision coverage, but they insisted on seeing my health care card anyway. I showed it to them. Turns out, they tried to file a claim THROUGH my insurance company even after I told them I DON'T have vision coverage! They called me a month later to tell me that I was now responsible for another $120 that my insurance company wouldn't cover. Well duh they aren't going to cover it! I'm not sure where the extra $120 came from, so I'm really confused. They couldn't tell me with enough clarity. So now, when all is said and done, I owe them more money even though I was told upon my first call to this place that the cost was $120.
I recommend proceeding with extreme caution when using this place. I don't feel that they are being forthcoming with their customers and are trying to be paid double time. read more
