I can’t recommend EyeQ of CNY enough! After calling several eye doctors trying to get an appointment, I was becoming frustrated because every office I spoke with was unhelpful or couldn’t get me in. Then I called EyeQ of CNY, and my experience was completely different. The person I spoke with was kind, professional, and eager to help. They got straight to the point, verified that they accepted my insurance, understood how urgent it was for me to be seen, and got me an appointment for the very next day. It was such a relief during a stressful situation. I’m incredibly thankful for how compassionate and helpful they were. That level of customer service is hard to find, and I highly recommend EyeQ of CNY to anyone looking for an eye doctor who truly cares about their patients.

I have only been to this doctor twice and honestly my review/complaint is not with the Doctor himself, it’s more with the receptionist Diane. I had called to make an appointment for an eye exam since I was a previous patient there. When I was asked if my insurance was the same, I stated I had new insurance. I was asked what plan I had and when I gave that information I was told, “okay I will figure out if you’re covered, no worries”. Appointment was scheduled for the following week and when I arrived, I offered to give my insurance card in which I was told “no need I got it all set!” Doctor comes to get me and notices that the year on my birthday was about 40 years older than what I really am so he had it fixed. Exam goes great, only takes about 10-15 minutes but I am then waiting at the front desk for over half an hour due to Diane making small talk, answering the phone, and doing other things. All I needed was to order my contact lenses, pay for the visit and have a copy of my prescription printed out. A few minutes of chatting was okay but her topic of conversation regarding “autism and adhd not being a real thing” was pretty inappropriate in my opinion. So finally I left, and about 10 minutes before the business was closing I received a call from Diane. She goes “you’re not gonna believe this, there’s another person with the same exact name and birthday as you but 40 years older”. Remember how the doctor caught that earlier? Well, she had pulled up the wrong person and rang that woman’s insurance benefits under my name and since the birthdays didn’t match it obviously didn’t work so she was unable to order my contacts. So I was told that I needed to order my contact lenses myself and file a refund request through my insurance since they were an out of network doctor. I asked why that information wasn’t checked before I left the office so we could’ve avoided this and I was told “well it’s your responsibility to see if you’re covered and you’re saving more money doing it this way anyway. You didn’t give me your member number for your insurance”. I said, “I offered that information to you at least twice while making this appointment as well as when I came to my appointment”. My husband was not happy with her lack of ownership in this issue and when he called to get more information, she told him “you’re a very rude person and you’re not welcome back here now”. She also changed the date on my prescription that shows an expiration date one month after when it’s supposed to be a year, so I ended up having to go to another doctor and have another exam done after already paying for one there. So, I wouldn’t waste your time here unless you feel like dealing with someone who can’t multi task and doesn’t take accountability when they screw up.
I've gone here twice now, once my standard appointment and once to get my glasses replaced and both times I've been met with rudeness because of things that are not of my control. The first time in June 2024, Joseph, the owner was extremely rude during my first ever appointment. Understandably he was upset because the receptionist gave me the incorrect time when I made my appointment. He condescendingly asked if had a job, and was surprised when I answered yes. Joseph also said that my prescription didn't change, although when I asked if I'm getting new glasses he said "Yes you are" Which I found redundant although he wouldn't really answer any of my questions. I was extremely put off by this although I decided to give them a second chance when my glasses broke less than a week ago. Diane was the only one there which I was initially revealed about but then I noticed that the new glasses she put my lenses into were a different color than the ones I wear now. My glasses have yellow gold colored sides and the new glasses were white gold, more like silver. I brought it up to her two times and both times she was admitted that it's exactly the same until I put them side by side. I asked if she had glasses that were closer to the original color and Diane replied with "Do you want new glasses for free" very rudely. I ended up leaving with my original glasses that are still broken because I don't wear silver and the new glasses would not go with anything I own. Both situation could have been handled differently. Maybe they thought they could be rude to me because I'm younger but this behavior is not acceptable. I'm sure this business will die out since it's more suited to the older generation. I will not be returning. Please thing twice about going to EyeQ.
Everything about my yearly appointment was such a pleasant experience. Dr Joe Carrock was amazing, thorough, and kind. The optician, Diane gave great recommendations for my glasses, and knew all about the latest and newest fashion. Plus she took the time to ensure I was going to get the best deal!! Overall it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend Eye Q!!
Dr. Carrock was great, exam was professional. The lady who answered the phone was a nightmare, I stated I wore glasses regularly and wanted a few sets of daily contacts for certain occasions, after my exam she quotes me $980 for my glasses and contacts (enough for every day of the year) which I declined and just took the glasses....when I came back to pick up the glasses she was barefoot in the office, didn't have the screwdriver to adjust my new glasses, and stated she made a mistake on my bill and charged me $70 for a lens fitting that was covered by my insurance, but said I had to contact my insurance provider to get the money back, and I was presented with a new bill (for the same amount) adjusted in a way in which confused me. When I called my insurance provider they claimed they submitted a claim for the contact lens fitting as well as the exam, which I had already paid for. I know have to submit a claim to get back my money...do not recommend, I'll do better research next time
