Very Nice sounding lady answered phone, she then asked me what insurance I have before scheduling exam. As soon as I informed her of my provider, she replied in an annoyed sounding tone, "So sorry, we don't accept your provider, AT ALL!" then hung up on me. (What a great way to lose business, had you stayed on the line for another 3 seconds, you would have heard me say "OK, I'll pay cash then.")

Tells me my eyes are perfect as my right eye gets blurrier every day. Tell me how you tell somebody their eyes are truly good in a 10 minute exam. Thank you

Before you book an appointment, make sure you ask about the cost. My wife and I went in for a routine eye exam, I wanted to go there because I am looking at possible cataract removal. I was expecting a little higher price but when we got the bill $325.00 each for an eye exam and it wasn't even with a specialist. The most I ever paid was under 100 dollars for the same type of exam. I wrote them and never got a response. The service is good but the price is outrageous.

I went from 20/20 vision to 20/200 and hand movement only after hot ash went in my eyes. today I am back to perfect vision(besides cheaters). I was absolutely terrified I would be permanently blind for a while. Dr Aey was amazing.

Very poor appointment management. They book appointment times but you end up waiting for over an hour just to get to a room. My suggestion would be to notify patients ahead of time of long waiting. But they know once people get there they aren't going to leave. The management is more involved with volume business not quality services for patients.
