Dr Nash took over for Dr Bowlin when she retired. I saw him for the first time in October and was very disappointed with his examination and what his charged me. I was a very long time patient of Dr Bowlin and she also was both my kids eye doctor since they were very young and they are both in their thirties and going to the same doctor. On the same day as I was my examination my daughter saw him too and had the same examination that I did she paid $75 out of her pocket (didn’t buy contacts or glasses yet) and I paid $215 out of my pocket (didn’t buy contacts or glasses yet). There is still one employee left that worked for Dr Bowlin and so I called to talk to her since she knows my history so she said she would ask the doctor why there was such a discrepancy between mine and my daughters payments and he said mine was multi focal. And then he said it was because it was because I was a new patient. But that doesn’t explain why my daughter’s payment was only $75. And how can I be a “New” patient when he purchased the my doctor’s practice. I DID NOT GOOGLE HIM TO FIND A NEW DOCTOR OR GET REFERRED TO HIM BY A FRIEND OR ANOTHER DOCTOR. THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A NEW PATIENT TO ME. THAT IS JUST NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL OF HIM TO USE THAT AS A REASON TO OVERCHARGE ME FOR MY SERVICES. SO I THINK I WILL BE LOOKING FOR A NEW DOCTOR NEW EYE DOCTOR IF ANYONE HAS ANY RECOMMENDATIONS! And then of course I will then expect to be paying a new patient fee because I will truly be a “New patient “
