    My review is with the Optical Department only. Today I was banned from the optical department…read morebecause after 4 tries they can't get me lenses without scratches. It's amazing I can see them but they can't. I have been a patient of Clayton Eye Center for over 33 years. But now that the founder Dr. Smick has retired and the optical department has been outsourced, the service is not like it used to be. They changed the frame supplier and the selection now is overpriced crap. So being banned may just be a good thing. I will still see the doctor for my yearly eye exam but will get my glasses somewhere else. Dr. New took over Dr. Smick's patients when he retired and I really like him.

    Let me start this by saying your eye sight is not something to take chances with. I was referred…read moreto Dr Joon Kim for cataract surgery. Red flags came up during the consult and I should have pulled the plug. I finally make it to the surgery center in Morrow, Ga and it was a total nasty dump. The rest rooms were torn apart literally and it stunk to high heaven. It was 7:30 in the morning and the waiting room was small and packed with 50 or more people already. There were check in kiosks in the foyer that had lines of people and people at the desk with nothing to do. I asked them to check me in at the desk. A nice young lady was about to help me and the guy next to her rudely told me to go back to the kiosks and checkin. Do these dipshyts understand that my vision is not good and I'm there for help? Apparently not. Long story short, I found the facility to be a dump. The staff was very unprofessional and not attentive. The equipment was breaking down. The surgery prep room was about 8 feet by 10 feet. There were 5 other people in there with 8 staff and desks. I thought about getting off the gurney and walking out. I should have. I caught a severe respiratory infection that took 10 weeks to overcome. Once healed, it was a success, however, this was a scarry shit show. It's a little house of horrors! The respiratory issue costs me several trips to my regular doctor, and some expensive dental work. I was eating cough drops for weeks. It damaged a tooth and filling and even cracked a root in another tooth. Now I must have a tooth extracted and a bridge. Dr Kim apparently is a good surgeon, however, he has severe personality issues and ego issues. I dont' trust him at all. I refused to go back for the 2nd surgery and I requested another surgeon and clinic. The second time is with Dr Patel with Thomas eye clinic. He comes highly recommended and the clinic is very clean and the staff is very professional. A completely different experience. Lesson learned from this: do your research on the service provider before letting them cut you or treat you in any way.

    Overall, my experience was just okay…read more I did appreciate the pace of the exam it felt efficient and not rushed, which I liked. However, the overall customer service left a lot to be desired. Maybe it was just an off day, but no one seemed very engaged or excited to help me. I understand working on a Saturday isn't always ideal, but as a patient, you can definitely feel the difference in energy. After my exam, I was told I could browse the glasses if I was interested, so I went over specifically looking for the Meta frames. I spent about 30 minutes trying on and looking at options, and not once did anyone approach me to offer help or guidance. As a first-time visitor, I wasn't sure what the process was, and the lack of assistance was frustrating. I was genuinely interested in purchasing a pair, but the experience made me feel like I'd rather spend my money somewhere else.

    Came in for a regular eye exam and the one lady at the front was already in a bad mood like she…read moredidn't want to be there. Was very unresponsive and dismissive throughout the exam, so when I couldn't understand what she was (barely) saying, she just kept sighing and made me redo the snapshots of my eye over and over again. The prescription itself was way too strong. I've gotten new glasses every year elsewhere just fine, but when I got them from here, I had constant eye strain and headaches for several weeks, which the staff told me "to just get used to it". Not returning...
