My first experience was pleasant enough but My last experience was far from pleasant and in fact down right horrible, which is putting it lightly. In need of a new pair of glasses I decided to make an appointment mostly because I figured Id also get contacts this time around as well. They gave Me an early morning appointment, I was told was the first of the day. On the day I arrived before they opened and had about a 15 minute wait, I like to make sure I am a little early to appointments. When they opened the doors they had Me wait about another 15 minutes before I was even given paper work to fill out. They pushed another lady in front of Me while I filled out the papers. She apparently had a bad experience with the doctor who she explained was quite rude to her and that she was very displeased with her service there. I know, I should have run but unfortunately did not. Thats right I too had a bad experience with this doctor. He was very rude and to make a long story short told Me that I could not have contacts and that he would not give Me an eye exam. I was shocked but really didnt want more of an issue then was necessary, life is just way to short for dealing with crap like that! He told Me that I was welcome to go to a different eye doctor if I like so I pleasantly said "looks as if Ill have to do just that." and grabbed My hand bag and left. Upon My way out I stated to the receptionist "The lady before Me was right he is a very rude man!" Since I had had My eye exam there just the year before, only at a different location, I contacted that location to get My prescription and after much resistance and need to go there in person I was able to get it. Mind you this took about a week to get done, they seriously did not want to give it to me and even made rude comments about how it was a prescription form last year so why would I even want it. Amazing nerve on these people! Anyways turns out I My prescription has no expiration date so there really wasnt even a need for Me to have another exam. Their loss and My gain. Though it was a BIG pain in the tookish I feel like I cam out the winner in this situation. Why on earth a business would want to throw away money is beyond Me? However after long thought on the matter I realized they are located in a very small town and if they are turning away business someone else is getting it which is what I think was the entire purpose. The doctor must have investment in the only other place people can go for exams near by. I mean why the hell else would he turn money away unless he was getting more because of it and the other place is three times more expensive as this place. Well whatever the reason I say STAY AWAY from both and do as I do and visit the doctor just one town over or order on line!!!

I would put negative but you dont provide for this in your ratings. I went for a simple eye exam and contact lenses. Dr. Day continues to tell me that he doesnt know if Im even legal to drive. He was barely able to correct my vision with glasses so that I could drive. I was told the pressure is my eyes were 29/26 which is extreme to say the least. He diagnosed me with ocular hypertension and the beginning of glacoma and told me I was losing my eyesight. he refered me to a specialist and fitted me with bifocal eyewear. Refused to prescribe contacts even those this is all I ever used since age 16. As I am my husbands caregiver and the only one that can drive I went through nearly a week of horrific terror and fear. I saw the specialist that looked at me as if I was crazy. He said my pressure was 16. Right in the middle of normal. No glacoma. Optic nerve intact and health. He said that the eye pressure can not fluctuate that much and my eye sight was 20/25 WITHOUT corrective lenses. I received my glasses from optimart and they could not fit them to my comfort after 2 very rude employees attempting to adjust. I now have spent over $500 that I cant afford for glasses I cant wear for a condition I dont have. What I do have is a return of my headaches and still blurry vision. VERY DISSATISFIED6

I made an appointment for my Autistic child my appointment was 10:10 and at 11:00 we still have not been called back. When I said something I was told very rudely to be patient. When I mentioned that he had another appointment at 12:15 I was told that I never should have doubled scheduled knowing how Doctor offices are!

Federal law allows for a 2 year prescription to be written. When you are 49 and only wear your contacts for sports there is no legit reason not to. They refuse to do this here. I took my business elsewhere.

Great place to get an eye exam and new glasses. Competitive prices and high quality product. And they take most insurance plans!
