Really wanted to like this practice but turned out to be a disappointment. Had a question about my lenses prescription, left two messages, no response. Proceeded with purchasing two frames (unrelated to my prescription question) which cost a small fortune, and my vision was worse than with my old lenses so prescription was bad and/or their optical shop was bad.
Do NOT be fooled by the good reviews, most of which give the same fake praise and were posted from accounts that have few if any other reviews, which suggests that all of the positive reviews are completely phony (possibly posted by the owners?). I was here last year. This office is exactly what you would find in any third world country. It has ancient, worn out, outdated, sparse equipment. The entire staff has a thick, foreign accent and barely speaks English. The therapies themselves seem primitive. Unlike other ophthalmology offices that I have visited, this one allows non-doctors to perform sensitive procedures on your eyes. You should not let anyone poke at your eyes unless he or she is an actual medical doctor certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. There are several better choices in the area. You have been warned.
Don't go here if you need a prescription. The office staff is terrible. My insurance requires a prior authorization for eye drops for a painful eye condition, and no one is responding after weeks of calls and requests. The doctor is good, but the staff is terrible. Save yourself the aggravation.
Everyone in the office were professional, friendly and patient. I was seen at the time of my appointment. I didn't have to wait. The first desk receptionist was wonderful and greeted you the minute you walked up to the window. The doctor explained everything in a way I could easily understand him. Overall it was a great experience.
My experience has been nothing but excellent! I received lasik in July and am loving it! From the first appointment to the post ops, everyone has been friendly and professional. They walked me through every step of the way, made me feel at ease on surgery day (very important!) and answered every question I had. I highly, highly recommend them and am so glad a family member encouraged me to contact them for my surgery!
