I was an optometrist medical client at MyEyeDr at 22 University Dr, Amherst, MA 01002. I went there…read moreright when they took over Dr Wadman's optometrist office which I went to for over 10 years - & I was assigned the male optometrist there (I do NOT recommend him, I've heard okay things about the woman though), after I'd called ahead several days before to make sure I had enough for the the contact lens fee secured, I was there on time at the date of my appointment. After a 45 min wait for my appointment I was seen, because they were running late - it happens, sure - but then without prior warning I was denied the contact lens exam to get my contact lens prescription. That was why I went there. I was able to pay for its cost in addition to the glasses exam covered by my masshealth health insurance. The male optometrist, who I was meeting for the first time, cited that a lack of previous years of having any relationship with me as his patient (after his practice kicked out my last doctor so how could I even have that?!) meant he couldn't trust me, a 30+ year old adult, with having a contact lens prescription and he would be liable. He refused to give it to me even though he told me that he knew what the prescription I needed was. He decided he wouldn't, was aggressively smug about his decision for the remaining 20 mins of our appt during which I begged him to change his mind during the remainder of my eye exam. By the time I left I was practically in tears from how he spoke to me. I left a review on another platform, and they deleted it because I do not wish to share my legal name. DO NOT go here if you want contact lenses - only go to get a prescription for glasses. If they guarantee you anything more, they are possibly lying to you like they lied to me. I was hugely let down when I wanted and expected I could get a prescription for contact lenses here. After they denied me care, I was unable to afford a new eye exam's full cost myself elsewhere, so I couldn't get contact lenses with the eye exam covered by my insurance for another 2 years (the doctor knew this about me, which is why he was able to talk to me like that and act so smug knowing he'd face no ramifications) until MassHealth could cover a new one again for me, at a new/better optometrist than at MyEyeDr in Amherst, or any MyEyeDr I imagine, where in my experience they refuse to give out contact lens prescriptions when they are paid for that exact service. PLEASE don't make the mistake I made and expect both the truth and also the care you would normally get from optometrists from them. I will never go back to the building that doctor denied me care in, my experience was too negative for me to try to set foot in there again.
