First, much of the appointment was completed by the medical assistant, which was fine with me. It doesn't take a doctorate to have me cover my left eye and see which line I can read. =) After going through that process and figuring out why my new prescription was, my eyes were dilated and I was moved to the waiting room for it to take effect. After a few minutes I was taken to another examination room and saw Dr. Seefried. He checked my eyes and talked with me about any questions/concerns that I had. Lastly, I visited the contact lens expert (I don't know what they call that position) to get new lenses to try out. Everyone, from the front office staff, to the medical assistants, to the doctor, to the contact lens expert were friendly and professional. I was treated respectfully by all employees that I encountered and am so happy that I switched to this practice!

Blue Ridge Eye Associates are using deceptive practives to draw customers in with one price and…read morethen charging another without the customers knowledge when they get there. Here is what happened to me today, 28 February, 2023L When I made an appointment by phone for an eye exam two weeks ago, I specifically asked how much it would cost. I was told by the very friendly voice of "Wally" that it would be $189.00 He then asked me if I had Medicare and supplemental insurance. I said yes, and then asked how much of that Medicare would pay. He said 80% if I had met my deductible. I went ahead and made an appointment. I called back a second time and asked Wally to confirm that it would be $189. He confirmed. When I showed up today for the appointment I asked Wally again how much it will be. For a third time he said $189, and I gave him my Medicare and insurance cards. After doing this and before going in for the exam I thought I had better confirm the price one more time because I didn't want to get stuck with a surprise bill. This time he said that it will be $189 "If you pay in cash today" and $249. "if you use Medicare," and you have to pay today $79.00 for "non-payment service." I protested, saying that he didn't tell me all this the two times I talked with him on the phone or when I asked him the first time when I came today for the appointment. He denied everything. This is the typical "Bait and Switch" tactic. I asked to see Dr. Crowder because I wanted to register my complaint with her. She came out and sat down with me, but explained that it was $189. "if I paid cash," but $249. "if I used Medicare." I said I was not told that until just now. It didn't make any difference. I said I would post a review. She asked me if I would report it to Medicare. I said I would. As a taxpayer, I do not believe it is fair to charge one amount for a cash price and a higher price to Medicare. BEWARE! Paul M.

I checked out in tears with no professionalism by the office administration. Then they refused to acknowledge their inaccuracies in billing. I told my PCP never to recommend this office again! It's absolutely ridiculous to still owe hundreds of dollars (with insurance) to see a doctor who will not even take the time to address the issue or any concerns and then an office trying to overprice services not truly provided!!!!!

However, if you find yourself in a position where it is necessary to deal with Yolo, be prepared to leave feeling frustrated and disrespected. That woman was absolutely HORRID! She was angry, rude, not in the least bit interested in assisting and even in front of me said to one of her co-workers "ssh, ssh, shh, calm yourself" when she was asking for assistance. It was so bad that after Yolo walked out, what appeared to be in frustration, her co-workers apologized over and over again for her behavior and my experience. That woman needs to be on the unemployment line! No company should allow such a rude person to work for their company!
