Bad experience all around, from scheduling my appointment, getting checked in, and especially the doctor. I had to call 3 different times, with the first two being told I should try calling again another time as they didn't want to grab my referral. Once I got scheduled and showed up for my appointment, I was shuffled between windows before waiting well over an hour. I had to refill out the forms submitted online, wasting more time as well. Once I was pulled into the clinic, my vision was tested in a basic manner, before I was again left in a room alone for over half an hour. The nurses dilated my eyes and I was finally brought to the MD. When he entered the room I was told "Oh wow, I thought you would be older. If I knew I wouldn't have dialed your eyes. I cant really do anything to check you out now, so come back another time." Great, so my file wasnt even reviewed at all, and I wasted this whole visit for nothing. Now with dilated eyes, over an hour late to return to work, I was sent home without eye protection/sun glasses to drive half an hour during peak sun (1-2pm). Even worse, I got a bill for the visit, and since my medical concerns weren't addressed, it wasnt treated as a medical bill and therefore wasnt covered to the level it should have been. Never been more disappointed in a business in my life, not a single step of the process worked, and I hope others strongly reconsider their medical and eye care needs.

I see a lot of bad reviews, but my visit was very nice. Everyone was respectful, friendly and kind. Dawn was my technician, and she was just wonderful, very friendly and easy to talk to. I would refer this practice to anyone. I will be going back.
My experience with the doctor was the sole positive aspect of my visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the registration desk, where I encountered an older woman who had a somewhat abrasive demeanor. I felt thoroughly disheartened after interacting with her. The staff at that location lacks knowledge about medication interactions. Despite documenting my Plavix use, they gave me dilating eye drops, which caused severe vision impairment and increased blood pressure. Everyone there should receive training on incompatible medications. I was unaware of this information at the time, so I researched it online when I returned home, as I was not feeling well. Moreover, they released me quickly. While driving home, my vision was substantially impaired due to the dilated eyes, but luckily I arrived home safely. I'm giving it 2 stars because 1. Dr. Knupp was very thorough in explaining what I had and seemed interested in my general well-being. And 2. The facility was very clean.
Dino is absolutely the best. Very knowledgeable, personal, friendly. My only compliment is wait times can be a little long but the friendliness of the staff, professionalism of the doctors overshadow that. I look forward every year for my visit.
Dr Exchanger is awesome. This is the third time I have used him. Very friendly.
