    I have been going to Dr. Brooks for many years now. My husband, and (so far) 3 of our kids also…read moresee Dr. Brooks. We adore her. She is knowledgeable, professional, yet personable, kind and caring.

    I had mediocre experiences with the last 2 providers I went to locally, so decided to try this one…read morein hopes of good service. As I require yearly exams, I was looking for a long term relationship. Booking an appointment was typical of this area - was 3 weeks before I could get one. The staff was a bit slow to check me in, despite my having printed and filled out all the paperwork before my arrival. At no time did either of the women at the desk offer their name. The woman who did the "pre-exam" also didn't give her name, and was brusque, running me through the typical "read this" series quite rapidly. My wait to see the doctor wasn't long, and Dr. Lesley Brooks was the only person to introduce herself. After doing the exam, I inquired about contacts for regular distance, as I wear bi-focals and would like the option to not have to wear glasses 24/7. The doctor was amenable to this. The staff determined that they did not have contacts in my RX, so I'd have to come back when the were shipped in, and I expressed a desire to have a "refresher" on contacts as I'd used them quite a few years ago, and wanted to be sure I remembered putting them in properly. Approximately a week later, I received a text saying they were in, so I called for an appointment, which took another week. On arriving for this appointment, the wait was about 10 minutes, the staff again was not very friendly, and basically sat me down with the contact samples, took them out of the box and gave them to me. The "instructions" from the staff were near non-existant and consisted of "there's a sink if you want to wash your hands" and "you can use your pinky if you want". After struggling for about 5 minutes, I succeeded in finally getting them in, and although I had tears streaming down my face, and was NOT offered a tissue. I realized as I was leaving, there was a dispenser on the bench, right next to the staff person but I couldn't see it!! One might hope either of the staff members present would have made the simple effort to hand me one. I was going to leave with the contacts in, but the woman who'd given me the "pre-exam" on my last visit said I couldn't leave until she was sure I could take them out. She was NOT the person who was "instructing" me, but was working at another bench the whole time, and up to that point never even looked at me. What really soured me was that although the woman who booked the contact appointment mentioned a fee, she didn't give me an amount. When I was leaving, I was charged $60.00 for "CL FITTING BASIC" and another $50.00 for "New CL Wearer Training". At no time was I given a "CL FITTING" that I was aware of, and to charge a total of $110.00 for someone to WATCH ME put contacts in was incredible. There was no assistance of any kind, and for neither person to even offer me a tissue was just astounding. Although the Doctor herself was nice enough, I can't give this office a good recommendation. Their staff seems uninterested, uncaring, and apparently it's all about usurious fees for no help at all.

    My rating would be zero if I could. Thus is not based on the office or personal in Boone, NC. They…read morewere very friendly and kind. I went in on 09/07/2024 for an eye exam and also bought a pair of glasses. Ms Joann was very helpful and pleasant as was Dr Emily Skully. Joann correctly figured my cost and I paid that day. One month later I received an additional invoice stating I still owed $161.40. After a 4th notice in early December and a threat to collect. I once again contacted Ms Joann in the Boone office. She assured me I only had to pay the original cost on 09/07/2024. She also found that her billing department refiled differently which was in error. Long story short, it took me several calls to billing over a period of another 4 months. Each time I called I got.the same story from each different person. It was turned back to my insurance and they were still waiting on them to respond. Even though my insurance stated the they did received the claim 3 months after it was filed (or so I was told), and replied 2 days later (6 weeks ago). During my several calls to billing, I had asked to speak to a supervisor, the standard response was that the super was busy but would call me back ASAP. 8 times and I never received a call back. After so many calls I was finally able to reach someone with intelligence. They did not resolve my issue so I once again I contacted Joann in Boone. She kept me.on the phone.as she personally rectified the situation and was able to resolve this and issued a refund that day. Finally 8 months later it was done. The billing department I had to deal with all those months were the most rude, incompitent, and noncaring I have ever seen in my over 70+ years of living. Thanks to this experience, I will never use this company again. Amen
