    Extremely surprised at the positive reviews. It's possible my experience is not the norm, but it…read morewas very stressful. Was not able to schedule a flow up. The doctor would not answer any questions. The person who helped me select frames was not polite and acted like I was stupid when I asked basic questions about pricing and my insurance. Receptionist was rude on the phone. They also took a 5 day vacation for Labor Day? Will absolutely being making the switch back to my family optometrist and make the hour long drive as it was clearly worth it. Hoping this is not a normal experience. I have never left a negative review at any doctors office before in my life. The experience was that bad.

    While I really do like Dr. Dowd and his staff at the office, the care I receive from the doctor as…read morewell as the convenience of location, I can only give 2 stars. After eye exams are complete, you are required to make payment before you leave. I questioned why it would not go through my insurance, and was told I only have a co-pay. Flash forward two weeks later, I received my insurance claim showing what they covered and how much I owe out of pocket. A difference of $105!!! Huge difference!! I call the office to question that and was referred to another number for billing questions. I was told they had not yet received the payment from my insurance and I could call back in a week or so if I didn't get my reimbursement. A second call to billing 3 weeks later, I was told they have not received the insurance payment and to call back in August (a month and a half down the road, my insurance sent them a check 5/26). I questioned why the office made me pay all upfront without sending to insurance and was told that some office staff don't know how to collect. So easy to take the money from the rip, yet a long and winded process to get my money back! My advice is if you want a good eye doctor, go see Dr. Dowd but DO NOT pay all upfront or you'll be in hounding them for a refund.

    I am used to rude people working in most places. I was manic when I walked in, I have issues. I…read morethought they were looking at me like I was crazy. I am, pretty much and to be honest. Once I filled my paperwork out and calmed down a little bit, I was called back. The female that did my eye health exam knew what she was doing and how to do it. Ended up conversation and realizing what a small world it is when we were talking about Bellevue TN. We both have family in that small suburb in TN. The doctor, Dr. Kretch explained to me what was going on with my eyes and how important it is to protect my right eye. Explained what was wrong in the most detailed, yet simplified way than any other doctor I've had in all of these years I've been on this floating rock in space. definitely recommend this place if you need contacts or glasses or both.

    Went there (3) days to pick up my $1400 eye glasses. 1st two days, I came in close to closing…read more(4:30-4:45) and the doors were locked. Hours say 8-5, so I supposed they left early for the day. Today, I came during my lunch -- and lucky me they had the doors locked with a paper sign saying they were at lunch as well. Why even bother having hours online if you aren't gonna be available? Why not just post the hours you DO feel like working -- so I don't have to take off work early, or blow my lunch hour, for nothing?? I'm sure they were all having a good laugh in there when I asked if someone could just give me my glasses that I've already paid for. (I saw at least 3 different people inside)
