I'd been having a little trouble after hours and hours of computer work so wanted to get some glasses to to ease the strain. I've had lasik eye surgery about 11 years ago so finding someone who is knowledgeable and able to get the rx right can be a challenge. Dr Pickrell took a lot of time trying various combinations until we found what was a good option for me. Most may have gave up after a short try. They have parking in front and side of the building. Wait time is pretty short compared to most medical offices.

When she said the appointment was over, I reminded her we hadn't finished determining my prescription. She insisted she had, so I took her at her word. Ordered glasses based on her Rx and everything was totally out of focus. After confirming the glasses did match her Rx, I returned them, went to another practice, and got a drastically different Rx (1.25 versus -0.25). Ordered new glasses, and I can see perfectly with them.

The receptionist asked me if I wanted to add in a contacts exam to my glasses exam and I asked if it would be covered by insurance. She said yes but then later charged me full price for it. The doctor asked me if I cleaned my contacts often and I answered honestly that I did and he proceeded to look under my eyelid (which was very painful) and told me I had a "rash" on my eyelid and that I needed to start wearing daily lenses so they would stay cleaner. When I asked if I could just clean my extended wear contacts (which are approved to sleep in) more often to alleviate this problem, he laughed at me but never answered the question. I felt like I was being forced to use contacts I did not want - and I wasn't even there for contacts! He also acted like he had really caught me doing something "bad" by checking my eyelid for an imaginary rash - he was so condescending after. But I was completely honest about how often I cleaned my contacts and I had no eye irritation problems whatsoever. The "eyewear specialist" lied to me about the glasses I wanted coming in the color I wanted and charged me without checking them and had to call me later to let me know they didn't come in that color so I had to go back to get a refund. While there, I requested my prescription so I could go somewhere more affordable to buy glasses and I was given the runaround until I basically demanded it. The receptionist then told me to make sure I took the prescription somewhere that took my insurance so that I could afford it. When I asked for the contacts prescription, I was told I couldn't have it until I had tried the terrible contacts I hadn't asked for and that it would't be written for the contacts I wanted anyway, so I just left. I'd like to point out that it is illegal for eye doctors to not give you your prescription - and they're supposed to give it to you without you having to ask, just like any other doctor. I basically felt taken advantage of and cheated the entire time I was there, and I was treated like a child even though I am an adult with an adult job who pays for her own insurance and can afford her own glasses with or without insurance.
