They will keep your money. I put 20% down way in advance. I decided to cancel for personal reasons 5 months prior to the scheduled date. I paid $175 for the consultation (no problem) and $3180 downpayment. I asked to cancel and for my deposit back. They called back and said they would keep 10% of my deposit ($318) to which I reluctantly agreed. Then I got another call 20 minutes later claiming they misspoke and would keep 10% of the entire procedure cost which is half of my deposit. They want to keep $1590 of my money claiming they did lots of work already in preparing for my procedure. That's hogwash! What have they done other than pencil me in!!! My next step is filing a complaint with the Idaho state physicians licensing board.

I had my eyes tested at Dr. Hollingshead's clinic in December 2022. A few months proceeding my…read moreexam, I went to renew my driver's license; this in February 2023. I was unable to pass the vision test. I phoned Dr. Hollingshead's clinic regarding this. I was told the DMV is strict in vision testing and this is why I did not pass. The employee further stated I did not need to drive to the clinic as she would send my prescription. And, I would only require glasses for driving; therefore, only required the cheapest pair. She further stated, I was just borderline for needing correction and this was why a prescription was not prescribed. Well, I require them for far more than driving! My eyes are quite bad, and I was even told that they were significantly deficient by a lady who worked in billing. I own scanty vision. Then, in May, the office charged me $70.00 for my prescription. This prescription should have been handed to me in December. Who has ever heard of someone being charged $70.00 for a prescription and one that should have been prescribed six months previous? I was also verbally attacked by Dr. Hollingshead's billing employee for scheduling an appointment with another ophthalmologist! I desired to know why my distance vision deteriorated quickly with an ophthalmologist who is honest. I add, I was gaslighted for something that was not my fault through the employees of this office. I have no desire to return to Dr. Hollingshead's clinic. d

They were part of VSP insurance and service was impeccable. Now this review is for the vision center itself not the eye test drs across the hall. I didn't use their service. I would recommend them. Also, they are located in building S3 on 2nd floor next to the ER on orchard. Use the elevator.

I was referred to this retina specialist by my optometrist this last December. The earliest they…read morecould get me in was today, January 8th. Walking into the office, I can see why it took 3 weeks for me to get in. The place was so busy! There were people waiting to check in. The whole lobby area (there's 2 waiting areas) was jam packed and the hallway had a half dozen people chillin as well. I finally got checked in and got my new patient paperwork handed to me. Since the waiting area was full i went to the hallway and sat out there. Got my paperwork all filled out, turned out in and chilled. Not gonna lie, I waited a bit minute. Finally I was called to get my eyes photographed. Was sent back out to the waiting room and was called back in 15 minutes later. Did my next series of tests, got numbed and dilated. I kicked it in this dark "dilation" room for a bit and then was escorted to the exam room. I honestly didn't know what was in store for me with this appointment. I honestly thought I was getting looked at not treated. Well, the dr came in and he was so kind! He walked me through the whole process and assured me that everything was going to be ok. I have a hemorrhage in my eye and unfortunately the only way to fix it was to inject the medication in it. I was numbed several times. And while the dr was adding a anti bacterial solutionin my eye he injected me with the medication. I didn't feel a thing! He was so smooth about it. He got me all squared away and was told I will be seeing him again in 4 weeks. I can see why some of the reviews were so negative. The choas of all the people and waiting time is such a turn off. Even though I felt like I was waiting for an eternity for the dr, but once I got rolling it was a pretty smooth process. I appreciate the dr, his kindness and his delicate touch. My eye is killing me now that the numbing agent is gone but I like that they went above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable during the whole treatment process

He came back in and apologized but I could tell he was still angry. Totally inappropriate reaction! The office staff was absolutely wonderful, but I will never go there again.
