All they care about is money. Insisted I pay the full cost before being seen bcuz I hadn't met my deductible. I said I'd pay the Medicare fee schedule amount. Needless to say I wasn't seen. The billing staff/receptionist have no idea what they're doing, Medicare covers eyecare if there's a medical issue, not just basic eyecare. I've used Medicare at other Walmart eye clinics before w/no problem. It's also a filthy unkempt place.

My husband and I made appointments. We arrived early, completed the paperwork and discovered they did not take his insurance. He cancelled his appointment. 30 minutes AFTER my scheduled appointment, I asked if it would be much longer, and the receptionist told me she cancelled me but didn’t bother to say anything. I did not cancel the appointment. I don’t know how long she would have let me sit and wait. She offered to put me back in line but said the doctor was now running behind. I’m not sure how you can be behind after canceling two appointments, but there it is. I’ll be finding another optometrist

Thank you Ryan for your educational and informative answers. As a person that has always worn glasses you help provide great information with a personable approach in answering my questions about switching to contacts in the future. I have always been afraid to try contacts but now I am not. Thank you.

I had my eye exam with them last week. I felt like I was talking to a car salesman, or woman for that matter. The exam was ridiculous. I I was in and out of the actual exam room within five minutes. This was the worst exam I have ever had. I absolutely do not recommend her. The exam was done by Solita Bergelt optometric. Please think twice before you are going to get your eye exam completed by her. I should’ve known better because the place was already very unclean and did not look professional at all
