My appointment was canceled TWICE then rescheduled yet again to only show up at my appointment and find out the doctor was OUT sick! I will never go back. Unprofessional!

I have been a patient here since I moved from Baltimore 5 years ago. Dr Metcalf and his staff are top notch- professional, friendly, and efficient. I highly recommend this practice for high quality eye care.

Please, select a different eye center. Constantly changing appointments. Surgery closes at 4pm.will send a message @ 5:30 pm.never mind the anxiety of surgery or your supervisor arranged time off work.more anxiety atop anxiety. Needle in your eye treatment? "It will itch a little for a couple of days" Oh. I forgot to tell you, pick up pain drops I called in.35 miles away. That one was changed too, round trip 2 days in a row 180+ miles. Didn't get the memo. Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

I have been trying for over 2 months to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. No one at this place will return emails, contacts through their online website, or phone calls. I have called and messaged MULTIPLE times and have yet to get any response. I spoke to another glasses provider about my issues and they said that they have to physically go there if they need information for referrals because they won't reply to any type of messaging. My insurance is limited and we need more than a basic glasses appointment for my child. I wish there was another option, because this place is a JOKE!

I had a very unhappy experience picking up my new glasses today. I wont use names but when I arrived there was a lady in the first chair taking an order from a senior citizen. In the second station was a male technician in an animate discussion with a patient concerning their cars. Their discussion began before I arrived and continued over 20 minutes and continued after I left. Yes he could see that I and others were waiting but he did not stop talking about cars.

As I was leaving he got up to make a copy and passed me. I told him as he walked by that he was very rude he made no reply. Service this bad shouldn't go unrewarded. Everyone else I have come in contact with has been superb. I hate to give a bad review but feel I have no choice

Dr. Ospital performed my cataract surgery in both eyes. He was absolutely awesome! I was a basket case about anyone doing anything to my eyes. He was so calming and understanding during both procedures. The nursing staff were very attentive to my anxiety as well. Overall everyone was great! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Pennisula Eye Center and Dr. Ospital. They gave me my sight back without glasses.

This is my second time taking my mother for an eye appointment. We had the first appointment at 7:30 this morning and it is now almost 9am and we are still waiting. We purposely booked the first appointment after our last experience - to minimize wait time. FYI -her first appointment was several weeks ago and the wait time was also over 1.5 hours. This is totally unacceptable. Unfortunately no one seemed to care when I asked questions about this.
