    I scheduled my appointment the month before then received a call 2 weeks before to remind me of the…read moreappointment. I called back and said yes I will be there. A few days before my appointment I got another call to remind me so I called to confirm again and the girl said she had no record of any appointment for me and I explained that was odd seeing as how I already called and confirmed the week before and she said I do not see it and I said a have the voice messages confirming the date and time she said some girl didn't move my account info over because I had not been there in a few years. The doctor and the assistant were extremely nice and did a great job but my issue with this location is the check-in people. There was a younger and older lady (at a computer that said Shannon) who works in check-in. The older lady acted extremely rude did all the talking when I came in the office. Neither greeted me but acted like what do you want, pissed someone came in to their empty office space. Both rolled their eyes when I said I submitted my intake forms online (per their website request to do so prior to my appointment ) and submitted copies of my insurance cards because I did not have physical copies yet of my cards. The office was empty so it's not like they were busy. She said "just let me see your cards" and I said I cannot because I do not have them yet but did pull the virtual cards up for her to see and enter. Apparently one specific employee was not there and they could not access anything sent online to the email. Both displayed a nonchalant attitude the entire time as I was checking in. Then told me to go across the hall to wait. I waited in another empty room. The exam with both the assistant and MD were great both were personable and friendly. When it was time to check out, and I carried my document and folder over and went to hand it to the older lady . She snatched it out of my hand rudely and when I asked about the free eyewipes samples if it was OK if I could take one she said "yeah whatever" in a very rude tone. There was never any hello, or hi from the front staff, no nice greetings just cringed,annoyed facial expressions and disgruntled attitudes. If you don't like your job that much quit find a new career because the first impression you get from a business is when you walk in the door and the people that you meet in the front office. This woman needs to be replaced. It's not hard to say Hi how can I help you with a smile it goes along way and NEVER yank anything out of patients hand when they are just trying to hand it to you. The front office is going to lose business for this practice if they do nothing to fix it.

    I was not happy with Mark Scroggs' manner in 2014 and did not return to the practice. When I simply…read moredidn't call back to make a follow-up appointment, I got a remarkable letter, which said in part: "This letter will confirm my decision to withdraw from your care as your ophthalmologist. It does not appear that we can maintain the quality of relationship that is vital to your medical care and treatment. "I have stressed the importance of compliance to achieve a favorable outcome for your medical treatment especially (sic) keeping scheduled appointments. However, it has become apparent that you have not followed my recommendations. As our medical care is considered specialized, it ends with the receipt of this letter ..." The only reason I kept this letter for so long is because I just couldn't believe how weird and rude it was! I didn't do anything other than simply not make another appointment! Sadly, from what I've read here, I don't see much of a difference in recent reviews. :(

    I had been going to this practice for several years when they purchased Adler Optometry in Chapel…read moreHill. I have always had a good experience with the optometrists but have had issues with the opticians the past two years. Last year, my prescription was changed such that all the negative powers were entered as positive and vice versa. I had only discovered the problem after picking up the glasses late one Saturday afternoon and had to have the lenses remade once they figured out what the error was. This year, I went in and found out that they no longer supply Essilor lenses and coatings which are my preference. This is because I used to work for the company that makes the equipment that Essilor uses to put coatings on their lenses so I am well aware of the quality of Essilor's lenses and coatings. I was a bit hesitant but decided to get glasses anyway since I was there. They came in about 10 days later but I received a message that they didn't pass a quality check and they were being sent back to be remade. I got the final pair about 2 weeks later. I had only worn them 3 or 4 times when I noticed a small smudge in the corner about 2 weeks after that. I tried removing it with the cloth provided, then with the cloth and water, and finally with lens cleaning spray, always with the lens cloth. Since it wasn't coming off, I took it in thinking they could get it off but they said it was a scratch. To be fair, I did not have the scratch warranty as I've had glasses for 45 years and never had an issue and having worked in the business am aware how to care for them. To me, it seemed like a defect. The optician's exact words were, "Well, you didn't purchase the warranty so there's nothing we can do. Have a good day." And then she walked away. Well, I'm walking away from this business.

    DO NOT GO THERE!!!!! I went for an exam. A tech did the exam. Dr. Soleimani came in after…read moreeverything was done and said, "OK, This looks good, any questions?" THAT was the extent of his concern. I left feeling uneasy about the visit. In early April, I went to the Duke Eye Denter and to my surprise, found out I have significant cataracts in both eyes and Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Both of these would have been apparent 5 years ago, much less 2 years ago when I saw this doctor. This was the first time I'd heard about either one. The Duke Eye Center tested me for my first visit on no less than 5 machines and did a thorough and comprehensive eye exam. I was there for 1 hour and 45 minutes and had the best treatment and care. My cataract surgeries will be in mid-May and mid-June. Stay away from Kittner: The front desk staff is abysmal and nonchalant, and I simply have no words for the medical staff there that I can print on this review. Now you know.

    Good luck getting an appointment. Had an appointment canceled by the doc (retirement, perhaps at…read morethe last minute) ONE WEEK PRIOR to the appointment and then they were able to reschedule it 10 MONTHS later. Booked an appointment for my child, and same problem occurred - they CANCELED it one month prior and rebooked 9 MONTHS LATER. Why bother with this place, souring UNC's reputation for medical care.
