After a complete examination (refraction and vision) Dr. Deen stepped back and told me, “This is your vision with lenses.” Then he swung the device away and said, “And this is your vision without lenses.” There was no difference! He could have prescribed contacts for me and increased his profit, but he chose to take the high road and be truthful.

The following is exact of the communication that I had with doctor. 1. Call my name, 2. Told me have a seat here, 3. Did preliminary exam with not speaking a word. 4. Told me to come this way. 5. Told me to have a seat he would be with me shortly. 6. When he came back, did the usual eye exam of do you see this better or this better. 7. Said follow me. Slammed folder down on opticians desk. 8. Somebody will be with you in minute. 9. He started checking and feeding his tropical fish. At no time did he ever say anything time other than the words that I have explained he said. While I was waiting, he checked on his fish three times. Furthermore, I can see no change in the glasses I have now than I did before, if you want to call it an exam. I cannot in good faith recommend this man to anyone. I hope this review will not be taken as sour grapes. It is meant as a sincere concern that Upson Medical Center should be concerned over..
I ordered a pair of glasses for my 4 year old son who really needs them and they estimated a time of 2-3 weeks I called after the 3rd week and they told me my insurance hasn't approved it yet. I call back 2 weeks later same story. I call every week after that and on the 3 month mark they tell me they don't have his frames in stock to come choose new ones!!
You may regret going here. It would be better to drive to Griffin or toward Atlanta, instead of going to this horrible place. The Doctor must have cheated on his exams He prescribed a steroid eye drop for a year for me and he made a mistake and thought he prescribed Restasis, so now I have cataracts . He might be OK for glasses but not eye issues.
The optician himself, is very professional. And, I've no complaints regarding him. However, the assistant in the lenses department. Very rude. She Would not attempt to try to repair a missing screw from my son's glasses. Just, "no! I can't help you" . I am assuming, her rude behavior is due to the insurance I have. Is her reasoning behind being unhelpful, .Unfriendly, . I am NOT sure of her name, nor do I care to know. But, I will say , I am Not referring to the assistant named Christy. She's very nice. It's the older lady assistant. I think it is funny that some people THINK they can tell what someone's financial status is because of the way they are dressed. Or what they drive. Guess again. .
