Report
I wish it could have been different, the place looks nice, but overall the attention was lacking, I didn't find a doctor that actually heard the symptoms I have had for months, didn't prescribed anything to make it better, I got my prescription for glasses, ordered them at the clinic, and got the wrong prescription, have to wait for another 2 weeks. Non of this was free, they charged every penny to my insurance, this is just another healthcare market place, I hope to never get back here, it has been a waste of time, money, gas, efforts. everything was just wrong and bad.

We were able to book our annual eye exam and their schedule was only out about a month. Wait not too long. Various tests, procedures didn't take too terribly long. At this point it looks like Medicare, Medicare supplement, and our vision insurance have covered most of the charges.
