I was sad to leave Dr Lewis because he was the best Dr., kindest, most thorough Dr. I had ever been to. I hated to leave his practice. Now living in Baltimore, having gone through 3 incompetent opthamalogist I finally found the "new" Dr. Lewis who I have found to be very much like Dr. Lewis in AZ. What a relief to find another competent Opthamalogist with the same attention to detail and a caring concern for my eye health. If Dr. Lewis happens to read this I want to thank him for his concern and care while I lived in Tucson, AZ. I have found that in Baltimore, excellent doctors are hard to find. Thank you Dr. Lewis.

I drove 3.5 hours (7 hours round-trip) for this appointment, only to have Bakewell refuse to see me…read morebecause I was 10 minutes late after getting lost in the maze of his own hospital complex. I had to stop and ask people for directions just to find the office. What makes this even more outrageous is that the receptionist acknowledged that I was within their stated 10-minute grace period, yet he still refused to see me and told me I needed to reschedule. Since I was experiencing pain in my eye and it took more than a month to get this appointment, I asked - no, begged them -- to reconsider. I explained that I had just driven 3.5 hours to get there. The receptionist took her sweet time going to ask Dr. Bakewell, then came back several minutes later and told me that he refused to see me because I was 10 minutes late. Another receptionist explained that Dr. Bakewell would have had to spend more than 2 hours with me for my appointment. My question is: If that is true, what exactly was Bakewell doing with the next 2.5 hours of his time? Apparently, whatever it was, it was more important than seeing a patient who had driven 3.5 hours to be there. I explained that I was experiencing pain in my eye. They didn't care. There was no attempt to understand the circumstances, no effort to accommodate me, and no regard whatsoever for the fact that I had driven 3.5 hours ONE WAY for this appointment. The lack of compassion and regard for a patient is astounding! Asking me to drive another 7 hours ROUND TRIP was completely unreasonable and, frankly, impossible. At this point, I have to look at what happened as a blessing in disguise. There is no way I will ever let this man touch my eyes. I am still experiencing pain. Now I need to drive to L.A., where a more compassionate doctor has agreed to see me right away Shame on you! I'm going to share this experience with all my friends in Tucson to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else!

This is a hard no…read more Prefacing here by saying this was an appointment requested by my optometrist (in Chandler) to establish baseline health of my retinas as I get older. I've had glasses since I was 4 and have seen plenty of ophthalmologists. Had I known what to expect here, I would have pursued his referral in Phoenix. From the jump this place is not patient focused. Long waits on hold for an appointment (where at first, they'll tell you to text for an appointment and when you do, if it's your first they'll tell you that you have to call), packed waiting rooms, impersonal treatment, hours to actually see a physician. Prior to my appointment I called and asked about counteracting drops for the dilation and was told they had them. When I arrived there on my own (as my husband was stuck in Chicago) I was told by the first assistant that no, they don't have them. Why not?? She didn't know but every. single. patient. in the building gets dilated, so why wouldn't they???? The assistants do both intake and diagnostic and there are so many patients that you're treated like garbage. One assistant tried to hold my head closer to the equipment for proper imaging and didn't let go until I asked her to. I'm not a four year old and she never asked me to move closer and she then started shouting what she wanted to do next. I asked her if she was used to shouting at people - she said yes. I understand that some patients here are potentially hard of hearing but there was absolutely no kindness in her approach as well as the others who were 'taking pictures' - which is how they refer to imaging. The only real kindness was from the male assistant who sat me in the exam room prior to the doctor arriving. He was apologetic about the number of people ("yeah, three doctors in today, it's busy", he says) I thanked him for his kindness and told him he'd been the only one to offer it. My appointment time was 2:30 and at 4:00 I was still waiting to see the doctor. Had I not already had eyes dilated, I would have walked out. At 4:15 the doctor arrived, asked a few questions, reviewed the imaging and examined my eyes. Told me my eyes were very healthy and that he'd send a report to my doctor. Two minutes max and he walked out the door right after saying no need to schedule a follow up appointment. If I had needed one I'd have gone elsewhere. Retina Associates is a slow and poorly managed assembly line not about making the patient feel comfortable or actually cared for in any meaningful way.
