The absolute worst eye exam ever. First of all the office is nasty! I don't think it's been cleaned in months. Next i had to wait a while before I was seen. It wasn't because they were busy. The only people there was the receptionist, the doctor and me. Then when he finally came to the room I tried to ask him about a medicine I was on that my rheumatologist had prescribed that she said I needed to let him know about. He didn't want to hear it. He was in a rush and I have no idea why, we were still the only 3 people in the building. I had questions about my vision and of course he didn't have time for that either. I went to pick out my glasses. No measurements or anything was done to make sure these would even fit me. I asked for my prescription so I could just order online. The receptionist then told me to get the entire thing it would be an extra $25. I told her nevermind. This was over a month ago and I still have not received my glasses. The entire exam was less than 3 minutes! Never again will I go back there!

I went here because my clinic was booked up and it was a very bad experience. I got a bad reading of my eye prescription I can’t even see clearly with the new prescription the “doctor” prescribed me. Do not waste your time and money. Very sketchy please bad experience. Now I got a 400dlls eye glasses I can’t even use
My daughter needed an eye exam due to having problems reading in school, this was the only place that could get her in asap. I should have read the reviews first! This place is horrible. From the front of the office to the back of the office!! The doctor himself was very rude. I had to let him know about himself, he was upset because my toddler was watching tv on his phone, after I receive my child’s glasses they never have to worry about my service again.
I went here and never got my glasses.It took months for Medicaid and it was not Medicaid it was them being very slow The doctor was nice that's it and it had spider webs in the window
First impressions mean everything especially when it comes to choosing a medical service that you will continue to need. After my first appointment with Community Eye Care I decided this facility was not the care I was looking for. First impression was they were really expensive. I have been getting contacts for almost 20 years and I never been charged a separate examination fee for those with astigmatism (usually it’s just one set fee for anyone needing contacts and it was almost $200 but who knows it maybe a new thing. Second, the doctor was not friendly. I got the sense that my appointments would not feel accomplished & he was not listening to my concerns or past history. I should have looked at the reviews before taking the first appointment. Overall, I can handle the higher cost of things or not good customer service from the front office but what turned me away was the impression from the doctor. They always say the front desk personnel are the face of the company. In my opinion, the face of the company is the quality care you will receive from the doctor and if that is not good then how can one expect to continue to see them.
