    This review is well overdue. We are returning customers for my 10 year old, who has significant…read morevision issues in his right eye, (Dwayne's Syndrome), and no peripheral vision in his left; his diagnosis is a bit complicated. We have seen pediatric ophthalmologists in the past and can tell you even in recent experience none compare to Dr Marotta, who sees a broad range of age groups. He is very pleasant and makes the examination experience for a child both comfortable and educational, taking his time to explain both the process, diagnosis and treatment plan. If I am correct, my son is the youngest patient he has prescribed contacts. *Side note, I am not suggesting that he will readily prescribe contacts for a child, as I am sure that recommendation varies case by case. In addition, we were also impressed with Darleen, the optician who taught Aiden how to put in his contacts for the first time; she was patient, kind, and stressed the importance of having good hand hygiene when placing a contact in your eye. If I am correct she has over 20 years of experience in her field. #Notimpressedwithhmc

Recently started a new job with new insurance and thought it was time to get a new pair of glasses, my old ones were 5+ years old. Visionworks was on a list provided to me by my insurance so I choose the closet one to me thinking I could get an appointment in a week or so. Big mistake. Scheduling just appointments is 1-2 MONTHS out. Had an appointment last weekend, November, which I had to schedule in September. Crazy. Flash forward to my appointment, filled out all the paperwork online, checked in at 10:15 for a 10:20 am appointment...and just waited. there were only 3 people on staff, 2 fitting glasses and only 1 woman doing the actual prescreening. Was finally called back at 10:50 and went over my paperwork again. I commented I did all this online and the woman said they have a new system and doesn't matter if you fill it out online or not, they still have to redo it in store anyway. I heard other people coming in for their appointments at 11, 11:15 am etc and the woman helping me just grumbled we'll get to you when we get to you. Got all the prescreening done then went back to the actual exam room and sat in front of a screen with a webcam. No actual doctor is on staff! They are all remote in other states with PA licenses. The woman from before moved the machine in front of me and the doctor controls the machine remotely from home. She then signed off and I had to wait another 20 minutes for another doc to sign on and finish my prescription. When I asked why it was all remote I was just told that's how it was during the pandemic and they never went back. All in all it took 2 hours to get my prescription in what should have taken 45 min. I'll be looking for an IN PERSON eye doctor even if they're out of network.

    I have keratoconus and can only see with scleral contact lenses that cover most of the eye. After…read morean assessment by a ver nice and pleasant optometrist, the lenses were ordered. When they arrived II was told it would be better to pick them up rather than shipping them directly to me. I was directed to make an appointment. When I arrived I waited.in the que to be checked in. Once I arrived at the check in window I was informed I just needed to go knock on the door of the optical store. Hmmm. An impolite individual responded to my knocks. When I explained to her I was there for an appointment. She disappeared back into the shop and returned moments later with a small paper bag with my lenses in it. There was no opportunity to evaluate the lenses. The appointment was unnecessary. Once at my car I discovered the wrong lenses were ordered. These lenses use a plunger to insert them into the I had requested tinted lenses because clear lenses are near impossible to see when roving them from the cleaning solution. I returned to the optical shop to have the correct lenses ordered. The same individual responded to my knock and once I requested the tinted lenses she informed they didn't come tinted. Despite her insistence I explained the lenses I was currently wearing were tinted. To summarize I was instructed to make an appoinent that 1. was completely unnecessary, 2. wasted an hour of time, 3. Wasted gas since I drove 20 miles 4. to be disrespected and lied to. I did find out that they could have been drop shipped. If I wanted Ms. Congeneality to send them it would cost $12 Most of the folks in that department are great. However they need to re-engineer their process for pick up. And offer some civility training to their person in the optical shop.

    I have stopped going here because we couldn't afford the rides anymore, but these are some of the…read morebest doctors in the state. I was born with cataracts and spent most of my life with glaucoma. Every doctor who has come and gone has been very compassionate towards patients and the job. They have bent over backwards to make sure they could do what they can to help my vision. I had been going here since I was born because this is where they rushed me to when they saw something wrong with my eyes. Unfortunately some of the best glaucoma specialists have retired. I can't speak for the "young" ones who are likely used to older people with cataracts or glaucoma. It's a rare case to have a patient with congenital cataracts or glaucoma so I feel thankful every day that I've had the chance to be treated by such caring and intelligent people.

    Not once but twice.... I wanted to make sure that the review was absolutely honest and forthcoming…read more I visited this "doctor" months ago in a momentous amount of pain. And I was told I need it referral referral- Dr. Desai was kind enough to tell me that she promised that that an Advil and an ibuprofen, is all she recommended to me and she let me pay and suffer for days. Her recommendation absolutely did not work in fact I probably what is needed my stomach pumped For taking so many. My pain was incomplete agony. But once I got to get my tooth extracted someplace else the dentist was very professional and subscribed a small number of pain pills to get me through the oncoming days. I returned to this dentist, with absolutely no pain and I expressed to her that I was very disappointed with my last visit and hell she left me to walk out of her office, in unforgettable agonizing pain and surely she remembered me and said that she remembered seeing my review???? Funny how I am this woman's first review. So I'm sitting there in my appointment listening to her Indian music, and her endearing personality how she looked down at me and said that her idea of ibuprofen and Advil together are quite remarkable! I explained to her that I had a right to not be in pain as any person with an extraction or a root canal has ever experienced it's something that's pretty traumatizing, and extremely painful. Instead of doing the right thing and prescribing some thing that could actually help a person because that is the point of being a "doctor" she looks at you like you were some pill junkie. Absolutely not the case with me. I'm just the kind of person that when I have a procedure done or have any sort of surgery that's invasive I'm expected to be in pain and the pain is unbearable to me. This woman was absolutely so rude to me that she had your Dassie to say "hi I'm actually surprised that you came back" I absolutely do not recommend this woman for anything but teeth cleanings. I don't know why anyone would want to get into the medical field if they didn't actually want to help people so I had to put her on the spot and ask her what kind of dentist she was if she doesn't do root canal's and doesn't do tooth extractions and she said she's just a basic dentist. Collect peoples money and sit around listening to music all day long with a horrible bedside manner is what this woman's work is. It's so interesting how so many dentists and people in the dental field Wonder why people fear and have phobias against going to the dentist and why they put it off. I have had dentists in the past I've been doing work on my teeth since I'm a teenager and I have never experienced a dentist like this in my life the past 30 years I have always been taken care of and never looked at like I was some sort of unreasonable, demanding patient. Awful treatment as she rolled her eyes behind her glasses and walked out and didn't even say thank you or goodbye she tossed me off to another dentist. Her staff is definitely very kind and patient. unlike she is but she's unnecessarily rude. I don't recommend this dentist.
