While I really like the doc I saw at this clinic - the entire rest of the experience was a goat rodeo. AND I am somewhat ashamed to say that I gave them two shots and they failed BOTH times in the very same ways!
The staff at this place has not a clue. The 1st time I went there, I wanted to be sure that my insurance was going to cover what I was going to do - because I know it is all covered elsewhere. They SAID they verified everything, but then I got bills the following month in the mail for $160. I called to ask for an explanation, and they treated me like I had committed a crime. I was so annoyed, and vowed to never return.
They kept calling me telling me I was due for an exam, and my daugther was almost out of contacts, so I caved. But I told them about the previous experience and she assured me that they would call and verify everything - and when we went in for the appointments, I again asked if everything was covered. They AGAIN assured me that all had been verified. Of course as soon as the appointment was over - they said I owed $120 - AND then after I paid what they said I owed, they called and told me that I owed MORE. They said my benefits had been exhaustedd for the year - so my insurance only paid $13. I was stunned. If that were really the case - I would have gotten just enough contacts to make it to the next insurance opportunity, but I was sure it was available. Not only that, but they had told me that they would MAIL me rebate forms, and they didn't.
I went in to get the contacts that I had paid for and told them that they had dissapointed and given me misinformation for the last time. I would not be back. They just looked at me and talked to me very condescendingly at best. I was able to get the rebate forms, but they had no idea what the rebates were at the desk.
A few weeks later I got a benefits rejection form in the mail. It was on coverage from an employer that I had not worked for in 3 years! I called them and asked them to check and see if they had indeed filed with that insurance company - and of course I already knew they had. They acted like I was the one who had made the mistake. It was unbelievable!
I asked them which doc was the owner, and I took his card. I was going to write him a letter, but I figured that it will just be more of my time wasted, and I didn't. Now today I got a letter from my current insurance company - and of course they paid 100% of my visit, so I have to call them on Monday and have yet another fun conversation with these dopes. It is just so sad. I really like the doc I have seen, and I love where it is located. I even like the selection of frames they stock. No matter - their customer service sucks and their office staff can't keep things straight. It's pretty sad! I would never reccomend this place! Wal-Mart is right across the street people - and they are NICE there. read more
