Services that were extra were not explained at the time of the exam. When I tried to call to ask about these additional procedures, the staff was rude and refused to help me solve the problem. When attempting to get an explanation of why we got ripped off, it took over a month for the manager to answer the phone. After calling for the eighth time, I was finally able to speak with someone who simply stated that that is how this center does business; by not informing the consumer what they will be charged until time of billing.

It was my last exam there and that is unfortunate as the care has always been wonderful. But today, all the techs were maskless and as well as the receptionist and the cashier.

I showed a few minutes early for my appointment (because, you know, 5 minutes early is late), so I was expecting to have to wait a bit. After scanning my ID and Ins card at the front desk, I just had time to sit down comfortably when my name was being called. A quick trip to the blinding lights and the eye puffer, and I was in an exam room. After a very thorough questioning from the nurse/assistant/whatever you call them, Doctor Bowles was tapping on my door within a very short 5 minutes. I expected a quick 1 or 2, a or b, but was pleasantly surprised as she not only took her time with me, making sure I was tracking what she was saying, she also explained my eye scans (all normal, yay) and went over her thoughts on correcting my vision and gave me options as to how I wanted to go. OPTIONS! Amazing. Seriously. So bottom line is, if you are in the Savannah area, ESPECIALLY if you are a Gulfstream employee (they happily take VSP), forget about the big chain places and head to Effingham EyeCare. You only have one set of eyes and they can't be replaced yet. TLDR: go here and thank me later.

The costs of his concierge practice was a little intimidating since there are three of us (they did help with discounts), but it has proven to be well worth the money. He spent an hour each during our annual exams, crafting a lifestyle plan of action and answering all of our concerns and questions. He holds monthly educational talks, which have included topics like supplements, probiotics, diet, and diabetes medications. Since my dad and I travel for work, it is comforting to know that Dr. LeBlanc is personally available 24/7 by phone and willing to make a house call if needed. Dr. LeBlanc is quite approachable, and is willing to both discuss his rationale and take our preferences into account. He is very knowledgeable, and stays right up to date on new studies. I like his way of putting things into perspective, prioritizing what's important. His staff is great, and really get acquainted with who we are as people, not just knowing us as patients. We will be renewing our contract with him next year. A bonus has been getting the discounts to the other health providers at SunGate. We have used them all - eye, hearing, dental, skin, and physical therapy- and been very happy.
