She told me she didn't know how to provide a copy for me and that my other doctors wouldn't know what they were looking at anyway.

Since there are so many optometrists/ophthalmologists to choose from, I will be taking my business elsewhere

We've been patients for decades and Dr. Haring is one of the finest folks I know. But since the…read morepractice no longer belongs to him, his spirit of caring community and customer service is being slowly sucked out of the place. I will always come to him for my eye care, but my recent experience buying glasses was very disappointing. I was picking up my $1500 glasses and saw that they are offering a 40% discount on new glasses! I asked to have that applied to my $950 copay and they refused. Why? Because I used my insurance. Does it say that anywhere on the discount flyer? Nope. Not a whisper. It was very disappointing. Not because I didn't get the discount, but because I left there feeling incredibly disrespected and cheated. My hub and I will always see Doc for our eye care but they will never sell either of us another pair of glasses. 3/31/25: The utterly unresponsive response attached to this review actually makes it WORSE. No organization that "strives for 5-star" service acts like this. Now I've been disrespected AND dismissed. Learn from this, John D. If you aren't going to do something about your customers' complaints, don't be dismissive. Just say nothing.

My 3 kids and I have been patients here for several years and my husband recently became a patient…read moreas well. Today, I had a scheduled appt with my 15 year old daughter. We have always declined the optimap pictures, which is a little box you check on the paperwork. It has always said on the form, that if you decline the pictures, you will have your eyes dilated. ( Except during covid, they said it was required, so we all did the pictures at that visit.). The appt after that, we declined them and I asked Dr. Haring if my kids and I needed to do the dilation part of the exam, because the appt had wrapped up and it hadn't happened yet, but he said no, it's not necessary. Ever since, at each appt, we've done the same thing and we have never once been offered to dilate our eyes. I assumed they knew what they were doing and never questioned anything. At today's visit, the office manager tells me they have notes they've been keeping on me that I have refused dilation at every visit, which has absolutely never happened. I've never been to an appointment here without my kids having appointments as well. 18, 15 and 11. They have never been offered to have their eyes dilated either, nor have they ever witnessed me telling any staff member that I refuse having our eyes dilated. She started speaking to me as if I was some problematic patient, when we have been patients for years with no issues. Today they said insurance has changed and it's required to do one or the other, but that I cannot drive if I chose dilation. I was not sure what to do at that point. I didn't mind getting dilated today, I just was not sure about driving arrangements. I was also in complete shock that the office manager told me they have been keeping notes on me refusing dilation, something that I've never even been offered. In fact, was told it was not necessary at my second visit. I tried to figure out what was going on, but she refused to hear me out. The office manager was rude with me, telling me to chose or reschedule for January. Her tone and attitude towards me was completely unwarranted. She could not be bothered to try to remedy the situation. It's the most awful feeling being told you've done something that is completely false and having the office manager so unwilling to even hear what I was saying. She handled the situation so poorly. I chose to leave with my daughter without rescheduling. I prefer to find another office that does not keep false notes about patients and then treat them so terribly when they are surprised to hear that that's what's been happening. Why would they continue to see us, as patients, for so many years, if we refused something they required? Probably because it never happened, I've never refused anything. Why would anyone go to an eye doctor and not want the proper care? I don't even need contacts or glasses. I go to make sure my eyes are healthy. So unbelievably disappointed with how I was treated. Now that I am home, I wish desperately, I would have asked her "what in the world did I do for you to treat me this way?". Essentially calling me, a patient, a liar and not allowing the person she's made all these false notes about to try to figure out what in the world happened. I cannot describe the absolute disheartening feeling this woman left me and my daughter with. This family of 5 will find Eyecare elsewhere.

Despite multiple calls to the office in Fenton, reaching out via the AI bots, calling their billing number (what a joke) and physically going into the office multiple times, i could not get an explanation. Each of the four contacts with the local office I was told they needed to investigate further and assured me they would call me back. Nope--not even once did they do what they said they would. From reading other reviews of Clarkson, it seems that ignoring billing questions could be a corporate issue, perhaps it is even a corporate strategy. To wear people down so they pay or turn the account over to a collection agency. Very poor way to run a business because word gets around. And to add to all of this frustration, the glasses they sold me that are supposed to be scratch resistant are way more scratched than the previous glasses I wore for over four years.

This is the first time I could almost say I ENJOYED an eye exam. They have a new machine that scans the eyes without drops, which means not having to drive home with the bit of film over your eyes! (It does cost extra but frankly I think it was worth it). He was also able to scan my corneas, as I have thick corneas that always register high on the glaucoma test (being a new patient, he couldn't just take my word on that!). It was nice to come away knowing that I'd had a more thorough checkup than I'd had in years and all was OK. Plus, my previous doctor was trying to talk me into getting cataract surgery, and this doctor assured me that I was nowhere near needing that yet. I would definitely recommend this clinic.

There wasn't a time when we felt ignored or overlooked. I really enjoyed experiencing the enthusiasm and knowledge of everyone on the team. I appreciated the care and reassuring manner of Dr. Secoy. Before this appointment, my husband and I had been seeing a different specialist in a franchised business, and although the physician was knowledgeable and efficient, the set up there was very business minded, get them in, get them out and the sincerity and warmth was just not there. In conclusion, we had a great experience and look forward to continuing care with Dr. Secoy and the team.

Prices for contacts or glasses are noticeably less than I had been paying at Clarkson Eyecare…read more Frame selection is less varied but I had no trouble finding some I liked. If the eye doctor changes your prescription after you get the glasses, they will redo them free. Glasses came back promptly after ordered. Beware, however of two things. First, the optical area is ALWAYS understaffed for the number of customers, so expect to wait 30-60 minutes every time you visit. This means you will be helped by a staff person who is hurried and under pressure, with five or more people waiting for you to finish. They have no "line" or even "take a number" system, so you have no idea how long the line actually is. Second, every optical retailer I'm aware of is willing to exchange unopened boxes of contacts if your prescription changes. Not Costco! I purchased contacts in September of 2019. Dr. Steele changed my prescription in February of 2020. I had two boxes of contacts (approx $200) in the old prescription (with an expiration date on the box of 2024) and Costco refused to exchange them because my original contact prescription (NOT my purchase) was more than 12 months old. Happily, I found out 1800Contacts has prices that are better than Costco and they were willing to take back the contacts I purchased AT Costco(!) and fill my new prescription with that credit.....and they were far faster, friendlier, and competent. My advice is that the "savings" isn't worth the hassle, the lack of customer service, and the more restrictive approach to exchanges of contacts.

Because I'm never SO impressed that I feel like sticking with one. Until now! First, I love that I could make a reservation for an appointment online and was able to get in that same day (unlike Target). Hello handy! Second, every person that assisted me (3 people) went out of their way to be friendly and helpful to me (being attentive to me, understanding about eye problems, and trying to get me the best price). I actually thought "These people are awesome, I want to work here!" It wasn't just that they were polite and professional, it was that they were FRIENDLY. Such a big difference.
