Professionally, I really love the service that the doctors provide here. However, they don't know…read morewhat they're doing administratively. I had to switch clinic since I moved to Plano so when I ask if I can move to the Richardson location, they went ahead and scheduled me. It took me three months to finally get that appointment only for them to tell me that they do not have the equipment in that Richardson location for my case, Three months later, they rescheduled me back to the Rockwall location only for them to tell me the day before that they do not have my referral. Referrals take months to acquire. I called a couple months back to check if they got what they needed and they said they did. However, a day before my appointment they conveniently told me that they don't have the referral. Because of their administrative error, I am over a year due to get my eyes checked. They clearly don't value their customer's time so I went ahead and ask my primary care doctor to refer me to adifferent Eye Doctor.

1. Welcome was OK 2. The lady tells me that there would be…read moreextra charge of $59for refraction check up. I told her, that I did not need it. She told me that if doctor insists on the procedure would b done and I would pay $59. All ophthalmologists over last 30 years do refraction testing as part of routine eye exam- but they do not charge anything, unless you requet Prescription, in which case they charge $25.00 only. Thus this organization is CHEAT and GREEDY. I went to local Walmart to fill prescription for refraction error. I cannot see it clearly. It could be problem with my prescription given to me by the lady at Key- Whitman or Walmart not doing the job properly. 3. When I sat in exam room, a lady walks in- without looking at me or saying hello or nothing. Seats in front of computer, reviews my information as I filled out in waiting room. She did not know that I was there for diabetic eye checkup. She expressed surprise. I asked her to look at my answer re: diabetes. Then she found it and order retinal scan- which she did. The Doctor was nice. I had problems with insurance company's processing my claim. I asked for information from local office in Fort Worth Texas. I am still waiting for it. I never received a statement, except one text message regarding amount I owed. On 12/4/ 25 they sent me a collection letter notice, as I- did not respond to their frequent attempts to collect money. - A BOLD FACE LIE. We tried to contact office, both locally and in Dallas, without any success. They also do not respond to you emails. This business will never see me at any time in my life.

Brought my mother for cataract surgery on both eyes. Dr. Lee was wonderful, considerate and her…read morestaff couldn't have been nicer. They took her phobia of things being dropped into/stuck into her eyes in stride and calmed her when she started crying from fear. The process was really quite stressful for her and the staff was so understanding. We almost never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes even at their busiest past the scheduled appointment time. Their office is comfortable and beautifully decorated. All the equipment is state of the art. A side note, while Dr. Lee was gracious with a great "bedside manner" one time Dr. Lee wasn't available when my mother had to come in before her next scheduled follow-up, and she saw Dr. Hurst. He was very abrupt in his manner, with no smile and a bit of condescending attitude at our questions. So, one star knocked off because of him. :p

Not sure why because the insurance has not changed. I never been told that I have to have 2 different exams and obviously since I did not know this the Dr did not talk about it either.

The staff was friendly and helpful, so they get my one star! Dr Safar, on the other hand, was not…read morefriendly. He was dry, dismissive, seemed uninterested in what I was feeling or going through with my eye, and overall lacked compassionate bedside manner. I hadn't found a new eye doctor since moving to Rockwall, but I already had a diagnosis and needed updated meds and someone to assure me I wasn't dying or going blind, lol! After waiting over half an hour for him to come out of his office, I did the majority of the talking and he barely responded. He gave me little to no reassurance or empathy, just a new script and sent me on my way. I left disappointed and still in search of a new local eye doctor.

My Son's Opthalmologist was out of town and my husband needed urgent eye care. The office…read morerecommended Dr Safar. My husband has dealt with red eye flare ups on and off for years (as early as 2013). We went to eye doctors in the past when things got really bad and he would get prescribed a steroid eye drop that usually helped right away. We were told it may be allergy related or due to dry eye. Last week things flared up and he called into work. We were able to get in for an appointment right when they opened. I thought it would be better than going to an urgent care and that he must be really good if he was recommended. We paid a $50 copay and gave as much info as we could to the assistant. Dr Safar spent 5 minutes with us and barely asked any questions. He looked at the computer and said my husband must have pink eye. He gave my husband an antibiotic ointment for the eyes and rushed us out, spraying Lysol on everything and just treating us like we were walking disease. We were still walking out of the front door and he not so subtly whispered to the receptionist, "Lysol EVERYTHING." As a nurse, I was appalled by his bedside manner. I want to stress that my husband has NEVER been diagnosed with pink eye. And I have never "caught" pink eye from him. He used the ointment exactly as directed for three days. His eyes did not improve at all. My husband asked me to call and ask if Dr Safar could prescribe the steroid eyedrops and I was told he would have to go back for follow up appointment and pay another copay for that to happen. My husband refused to go back after how we were treated. Even if he wanted to, his schedule makes it difficult to take another day off around the holidays. We are now going to pay out of pocket for a specialty on call eye doctor to see him and hope that we are listened to this time. As I sat in Dr Safar's lobby I really felt confident that I did the best thing for my husband. He was educated in Texas and went to SMU where my brother goes to school. I now feel terrible that I wasted my husband's time and that he is not better. We have been managing best we can with over the counter moisturizing eye drops and it seems to help relieve some of the issues for now. We also have appointments in the future with an allergist and ophthalmology specialists at UT Southwestern.

The staff is equally as friendly and welcoming. Her new practice is inside the medical building next to the old Richardson hospital located on Campbell Rd near Collins Rd. Address is 399 W. Campbell Rd. She's located on the 4th floor. The office is beautifully decorated with a white textured wall at the reception area and with a predominantly blue color palette. Very soothing, with pops of orange color in the artwork and accents. We both are thrilled with results of our Pan Optic cataract lenses. We also both required a follow up procedure due to the uniqueness of our eyes. I needed a Yag procedure a few years ago and hubby needed his lenses polished post cataract. She even explained that the surface of his eye was similar to a raisin and needed to be polished to smooth it out. Now that's down to earth language that we can understand!
