Title: Prescription seemed to be wrong, but they wouldn't recheck without me paying $95…read more I got an eye exam and a prescription. I told the eye doctor that while the options he flipped to, looked the best out of the choices, the right eye didn't look right. He held lenses over my glasses, that was supposed to be equivalent and it looked ok, so I went with it. I then looked at buying glasses there, but their prices, even with insurance, were about $150 more than other places, so I decided to buy them from my husband's eye doctor. The glasses came back and the vision wasn't right in the right eye so they made them again. It still wasn't right so they asked me to have my doctor recheck the prescription for my right eye. I made an appointment and came in, but was told that they couldn't recheck my eye prescription without having the glasses and that it would cost $95 to have it done. I asked, even if it's discovered that the prescription was wrong, I'd have to pay? And they said yes. So I said I wouldn't be returning and if I have to pay, I will pay a different place to do it. I can't believe they won't check if they made a mistake.

Really disappointed in the after/follow up care I received after cataract surgery. My vision is…read morehorrible. The "warranty" is 60 days I was att 91 days when I called. They charged me full price, over $230 for the office visit. The Dr told me to use refresh eye drops more often, it was probably dry eyes, he was struggling too. I have and do use eyedrops through out the day, for years. It has been 1 year and my vision in the corrected eye, new lenses in my glasses too, is aweful. I will need the other eye done and will go elsewhere. I was going to switch my vision care to this office but will stick with Costco. The office staff is great, the Dr is nice, but "good enough" does'nt cut it when it comes to corrected vision.

Once in the exam room I waited an hour before I finally called the front desk and asked them what was going on, that I had had been in the exam room for an hour. They said they would let someone know. About 10 minutes later a tech came and said that I was next, that it shouldn't be too long. Thirty minutes later the doctor came in. I waited a total of an hour and a half! On top of that the doctor didn't have the professional courtesy to apologize. She just began working on my eye, she also tweaked my eye while examining it, which was extremely painful. She then blew it off explaining to the tech that I was experiencing a little problem, that I was feeling uncomfortable. I have never experienced such treatment by an eye care professional. There are some positives though: before this visit I did see a Dr. Bagga, who was great, the optician named Rhonda was fabulous and the clinics lab did do a super job on my prescription, and finally the front desk staff were very polite and courteous.

Update as of 6/13/19 I called today to check when my last…read moreappt was, and I am 3 months past due for my annual check up. It's important cause I got the diabetes you see.. Bummer they never even sent me a reminder. That that is not their problem, but when talk to the front counter lady she did not care, I asked about appt times and she said 8-3 but sometimes they do a 4pm but made it clear I was not on the special customer list for 4pm appts. I told her I guess I will have to try another eye doc and she said that was fine and have a good day. I will not be going back here this year after having a good experience last year. Man I even left a great yelp review. I guess they don't need anymore customers and the front counter staff must run the show. If I was an eye doc here I would be really upset that my staff was so happily willing to let me customers leave. Well on word and upward! Came to get my eyes checked. I have the diabettus so it's important for me to get it done yearly. Came in just before my appointment time waited for one customer and then me. They had a waiting room almost full and that got me a little worried. But was happy to say they called my name and took me back with in 5 mints. How awesome is that. Once in the chair it was all smiles and rainbows ok not really but the Doc was super nice and got my eyes all checked out. (No issues just Incase Your where wondering about my eye health) Once I was done with her I went out and looked at all the frames they had to offer. I was super happy to see the had big head size glass and not just ones for normal size heads. The guy that helped me was great friendly and very helpful. And I waited 2-3 mints max!!! Prob one of the better eye doc appoints I have every had..I will gladly go back next year I

I have been a patient of record at this facility for decades, intermittently. I called to book my…read morehusband an appointment for today several weeks ago and was told for him to arrive "a few minutes early for paperwork". He went to the wrong Albany facility, so arrived at 10:10 AM for his 10 AM appointment. They turned him away, stating he should have arrived at 930 AM. When I called to inquire as to the discrepancy of early arrival instruction as he would've had a larger cushion of time to have made it to the correct facility, the receptionist said that it's here nor there because he was late, and that they have a seven minute policy so he was there for three minutes outside of the policy, and they are now booking out to May. Wow.

Overall we were fine with our experience here and I'll likely be back when I need new glasses…read more We came in because my husband needed new glasses and they were having a sale. He ended up getting an eye exam, a pair of regular glasses and a pair of prescription sun glasses. I felt that the price was fair. Scheduling: The optometrist is not in every day. It was difficult to coordinate schedules to be able to come in at a day and time when she was in. A slight inconvenience. Customer Service: It's hit or miss. Some of the employees are jovial, friendly and very helpful. Some are off-putting and sales-y and others will ignore you while staring at their computer screen. On more than one occasion we have had to wait for a second person to come out from the back of the store to greet us because the woman in the front staring at her computer couldn't be bothered to notice us. But we never waited more than 20 seconds to be helped. It's truly a mixed bag of employees and attitudes here but no one was outright rude to us. Selection: Their selection of frames is large. If you can't find a pair of glasses that you like here, you are too damn picky. There is literally something for everyone here. Optometrist: We didn't have to wait very long after our appointment time to be seen. There was someone who did a preliminary test. She was a little unprofessional and seemed like maybe she wasn't entirely sure what she was doing. It didn't really bother me at the time though. She was friendly and joked around with us. The actual optometrist was professional and very nice. Retrieving our glasses: Someone called to let us know they were in. Everything went smooth while retrieving the glasses. However, after a few days my husband noticed that the prescription wasn't quite right. One eye was definitely blurrier than the other. They did say there would be an adjustment period. He waited a couple of weeks and the problem was still there. They handled the replacement of the glasses well. However, we live in Corvallis and it was annoying to have to drive to the store three additional times. Once to have the glasses examined to make sure the glasses matched the prescription. Once it was determined that they were correct, we had to wait and come in on another day to see the optometrist in order to redo his eye exam because she wasn't in that day. And then once more to retrieve the glasses after getting them fixed. In the end the problem was just that the first exam wasn't thorough or done well enough to render an accurate prescription. But they were nice about it all and replaced the lenses for free.

I chose this location because it was the only provider south of Salem that accepted my insurance…read more Unfortunately, from start to finish, this was one of the most ridiculous and aggrivating experiences I've had. Issue #1: Insurance confusion before the appointment even started. When I arrived, the associate helping me, Veronica, told me they did not accept my insurance because she didn't have it listed. This was despite the fact that I had confirmed coverage both when scheduling the appointment and directly with my insurance company beforehand. She eventually had to call another location to verify the information, but acted as though doing so was a major inconvenience. Issue #2: Problems with the eye exam. The exam itself went smoothly until the end, when the virtual optometrist apparently forgot to save my prescription before closing my chart. I had to return to the exam room and wait approximately 20 minutes while an associate called technical support and tried to figure out how to recover and save the prescription. Issue #3: Incorrect insurance processing and billing. After selecting and paying out of pocket for a pair of glasses, I asked about ordering contacts. My insurance benefit covers up to $170 toward contacts, so I requested a one-year supply and expected to pay any remaining balance myself. Instead, I was repeatedly told my insurance would only cover $95. On top of that, I was charged a $60 exam fee that should have been covered 100% by my insurance. After multiple failed attempts to process everything correctly, I was told to go home and call my insurance company myself. Issue #4: The insurance issue was caused by employee error. After speaking with my insurance company, I returned to the store. Veronica again ran into the same issue. Another employee suggested deleting and re-entering my insurance information from scratch. Veronica seemed annoyed to do this, but as soon as she re-entered the information correctly, the full $170 benefit magically appeared. The problem was not my insurance, it was entered incorrectly from the beginning. Instead of taking ownership of the mistake, the blame was repeatedly placed on me and my insurance provider. Issue #5: The wrong contacts were ordered. I specifically requested a one-year supply of bi-weekly contacts. Veronica processed the order and I paid more than $150 out of pocket. When my husband later picked up the order, we discovered that she had ordered three months' worth of daily contacts instead. I genuinely do not understand how an order could be that different from what was requested. Issue #6: Management promised a resolution and still got it wrong. I called and spoke with the manager, who apologized and assured me she would make the situation right. She told me she would order the correct one-year supply of bi-weekly contacts and waive any additional fees because of all the mistakes that had occurred. A week later, I returned to pick up my contacts, expecting the issue to finally be resolved. Instead, there were only two boxes waiting for me. When I explained that I was supposed to be receiving a one-year supply, the associate helping me checked the order and informed me that the manager had only ordered two boxes. He acknowledged the mistake and offered to add two more boxes to try to make it right. At this point, I had dealt with insurance errors, billing issues, prescription problems, incorrect orders, and now even the manager's attempted fix was processed incorrectly. Every step of this experience involved errors, delays, or misinformation. Mistakes happen, but what was most frustrating was the complete lack of attention to detail and the fact that I repeatedly had to spend my own time correcting problems that were created by the staff. What should have been a simple eye exam and contact lens order turned into multiple visits, phone calls, and hours of unnecessary frustration. I cannot recommend this location based on my experience. I would much rather drive to Salem every year than ever go to this location again.

Then she didn't want us to loose our credit for our kids part of the insurance so she offered for them to get sunglasses and we decided to do Blue light for our youngest because she really liked a pair of frames. I decided to go with some contacts this year, so they helped me figure out what I needed to pay out of pocket and what would be the most cost effective. The Dr. himself called 3 days after our appointment and asked how contacts were going since he gave me some to start off with and see if they were comfortable and worked. I've never had an optometrist call me and see how everything was going with my glasses or contacts. I'm glad we found Visionworks through our insurance and we will be back next year.
