We waited 5 months for an appointment in Harlingen. We live in Los Fresnos and didn't want to drive to Edinburgh where they had made the original appointment. We spend the whole afternoon in the Harlingen office and pay $65 in advance. After marching us back and forth through 3 or 4 offices, we finally see a doctor and of course, he recommends my wife have cataract surgery. What else would he do? That's their job. We go to yet another office and a young lady starts setting appointments for at least 3 trips to McAllen because they only do surgery in McAllen and only in the mornings. We decide to leave and have to ask for the glasses prescription we already paid for. I only wish I had checked the ratings on this place before wasting our time and money. They could have told us up front that they didn't do surgery in Harlingen. Very disappointed.

Normally I hate to leave bad reviews. This establishment is horrible. I cant even get through to speak to someone and Ive been trying for over 24 hours. I tried to confirm an appointment for today that no one followed up with. I stayed on the line for a very long time multiple times. I even pressed option for someone to call me back. I left a message early yesterday. Do not waste your time with an office that is incompetent.
The staff is incompetent. They provided a document to my mother with her next appointment highlighted showing she had to go to Edinburg for the appointment. On the day of the appointment the called her saying that the appointment was for the Harlingen office. The always screw up appointments and THEY DO NOT CARE because if you miss it due to their stupidity THEY STILL GET YOUR MONEY FOR A NO SHOW!!!
We had scheduled the appointment for my son with autism for more than two months, yesterday they call me to confirm the appointment, but today when I arrived at the place they denied me the service for my son Alleging that my son did not have coverage without even giving them the reference of his pediatrician I communicate directly with my insurancelo.cualThey tell me that in effect they have coverage with that clinic but without further explanation they just didn't attend to him Too disappointed
Took over an hour to be call in . Then there was a line to choose your eye glasses with one rep to assist.
