Excellent service we brought our 84 yo mother with dementia to get her eyes checked. The staff was…read moreabsolutely fantastic from the reception to the pretesting and the eye exam. Everything was explained to her and they patiently performed the tests sometimes having to repeat them. Dr Drobeck was so patient with her and took her through the exam step by step insuring he got accurate results and best outcome for her. What a great practitioner he is. In the end he just recommended some over the counter reading glasses for her.

Really disappointed in the after/follow up care I received after cataract surgery. My vision is…read morehorrible. The "warranty" is 60 days I was att 91 days when I called. They charged me full price, over $230 for the office visit. The Dr told me to use refresh eye drops more often, it was probably dry eyes, he was struggling too. I have and do use eyedrops through out the day, for years. It has been 1 year and my vision in the corrected eye, new lenses in my glasses too, is aweful. I will need the other eye done and will go elsewhere. I was going to switch my vision care to this office but will stick with Costco. The office staff is great, the Dr is nice, but "good enough" does'nt cut it when it comes to corrected vision.

I went in for a severe eye irritation that was causing me much pain and discomfort. I was called…read moreinto the exam room in a adequate amount of time. Once in the exam room I waited an hour before I finally called the front desk and asked them what was going on, that I had had been in the exam room for an hour. They said they would let someone know. About 10 minutes later a tech came and said that I was next, that it shouldn't be too long. Thirty minutes later the doctor came in. I waited a total of an hour and a half! On top of that the doctor didn't have the professional courtesy to apologize. She just began working on my eye, she also tweaked my eye while examining it, which was extremely painful. She then blew it off explaining to the tech that I was experiencing a little problem, that I was feeling uncomfortable. I have never experienced such treatment by an eye care professional. There are some positives though: before this visit I did see a Dr. Bagga, who was great, the optician named Rhonda was fabulous and the clinics lab did do a super job on my prescription, and finally the front desk staff were very polite and courteous.

I got some canned email in response, but no human reached out. Nothing seems to get done efficiently or effectively at the Albany OR location. I finally did get to speak with the "manager" Larry about my lost or broken glasses, no apologies, I was just a bother. And nevermind that when I picked up the replacement lenses and frames, I absolutely could not see with them as everything was double. They are re-making them AGAIN, hopefully this time the glasses will be usable. Just do yourself a favor and select another place for your vision service.

I have been a patient of record at this facility for decades, intermittently. I called to book my…read morehusband an appointment for today several weeks ago and was told for him to arrive "a few minutes early for paperwork". He went to the wrong Albany facility, so arrived at 10:10 AM for his 10 AM appointment. They turned him away, stating he should have arrived at 930 AM. When I called to inquire as to the discrepancy of early arrival instruction as he would've had a larger cushion of time to have made it to the correct facility, the receptionist said that it's here nor there because he was late, and that they have a seven minute policy so he was there for three minutes outside of the policy, and they are now booking out to May. Wow.

I told the eye doctor that while the options he flipped to, looked the best out of the choices, the right eye didn't look right. He held lenses over my glasses, that was supposed to be equivalent and it looked ok, so I went with it. I then looked at buying glasses there, but their prices, even with insurance, were about $150 more than other places, so I decided to buy them from my husband's eye doctor. The glasses came back and the vision wasn't right in the right eye so they made them again. It still wasn't right so they asked me to have my doctor recheck the prescription for my right eye. I made an appointment and came in, but was told that they couldn't recheck my eye prescription without having the glasses and that it would cost $95 to have it done. I asked, even if it's discovered that the prescription was wrong, I'd have to pay? And they said yes. So I said I wouldn't be returning and if I have to pay, I will pay a different place to do it. I can't believe they won't check if they made a mistake.

Bummer they never even sent me a reminder. That that is not their problem, but when talk to the front counter lady she did not care, I asked about appt times and she said 8-3 but sometimes they do a 4pm but made it clear I was not on the special customer list for 4pm appts. I told her I guess I will have to try another eye doc and she said that was fine and have a good day. I will not be going back here this year after having a good experience last year. Man I even left a great yelp review. I guess they don't need anymore customers and the front counter staff must run the show. If I was an eye doc here I would be really upset that my staff was so happily willing to let me customers leave. Well on word and upward! Came to get my eyes checked. I have the diabettus so it's important for me to get it done yearly. Came in just before my appointment time waited for one customer and then me. They had a waiting room almost full and that got me a little worried. But was happy to say they called my name and took me back with in 5 mints. How awesome is that. Once in the chair it was all smiles and rainbows ok not really but the Doc was super nice and got my eyes all checked out. (No issues just Incase Your where wondering about my eye health) Once I was done with her I went out and looked at all the frames they had to offer. I was super happy to see the had big head size glass and not just ones for normal size heads. The guy that helped me was great friendly and very helpful. And I waited 2-3 mints max!!! Prob one of the better eye doc appoints I have every had..I will gladly go back next year I
