I also go to a…read moreregular ophthalmologist at another office but 1-2 times a year I have to see this specialist too. While I believe the equipment is good at diagnosing the severity of your condition, I haven't been able to get any real answers or any new positive changes from the doctor on what will help. I feel stuck here with too many unknowns. The one thing I don't like about the office is the wait times. My time there is normally several hours and you're moved from one room to another about 3-4 different times. When your glasses or contacts are taken off it makes it hard moving around to so many rooms so much. I wish they sold glasses at this location and I could make it a one stop shop, but it's more about optics scans, photos of the eye and vision testing.

We were told that they don't open until 8am and their computer were still starting up and that we would have to wait, that she only opened the doors early due to the rain. This is all fine except for the tone, facial expression, and body language given. Once called to the desk, I completed the necessary requests and then asked why we were given a 7:45 appointment and the paperwork says the same if they didn't open until 8? To which the other patient said she was booked for the same and her paperwork came as such. We did receive a apology. Got placed in a room, only for another employee to come in with a poor bedside manner. The door opened at one point, we were not addressed, only told the physician would be late due to weather and the door shut. The only positive was the physician Dr Reggie was very nice and informative. I'm sure the physicians are not aware of how their office staff is with their patients, if they were they would get new employees.

I can see my right eyelid from 3/4 to the corner in my right eyelid. It blocks my peripheral vision. I went in to talk to Dr. Buchanan about it. He said there is nothing he will do about it. He said that if I want to come back in 6 months I can pay for him to repair it. I now have two different looking eyes. The left eye looks normal and my right eyelid is drooping over the outer corner of my eyelid. I would never recommend the anyone use Dr. Buchanan. The surgery was botched. He has no compassion regarding my situation now.

Linda Tsai, MD, has been my ophthalmologist for many years…read more I could not go to her for six years, because of my insurance, so I became a "new" patient. May 22 I had an appointment with the full eye exam. Since I was last there (and they did find my earlier eye appointment situations), my eyes have not changed. Dr. Tsai said my eyes have settled down. She did the full eye exam, and all is well. Dr. Tsai is an incredibly approachable, friendly, knowledgeable and patient ophthalmologist. P.S. The address is 1040 N. Mason Road (and signage indicates that), but it's in the Medical Office Building #2, second floor, on the campus of Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital.

Linda is the main reason I will keep going back, though.

The care you get from the actual Dr. is good, but it's hard to get to them…read more Most recently, I called 5 times, leaving a message trying to make an appointment. I sent a request through the portal 3 times. I decided to try one more time and someone called me back but the first available appointment was 4 1/2 months out. I've tried to make an appointment in the past that was over a year and they wanted to bill me a fee as a "new patient" since it had been over a year. I also was billed for an office visit 2 years after the date of service. You need to accommodate at least 1 1/2 hours for an appointment. Based off the combination of these things, I've decided to find a new doctor, it is yet to be determined how quickly I'll get my records.

I was told that I did not fit the criteria for surgery because the cataracts were not 'big' enough. When I asked what I should do about not being able to drive at night I was told to use more eyedrops for tears because I have dry eyes. I decided to do some research and below is what I found: The operation can be performed at any stage of cataract development. There is no need to wait until your cataract is "ripe" before removing it. Most people choose to have their cataracts removed when the change in their vision starts to cause them difficulties in everyday life. Jun 14, 2022 When I went to check out they charged me "$50 for a REFRACTION TEST". I asked what this test was for and was told that it was to check my vision. They said my insurance didn't pay for this test but I told them I have this done every year and it is always paid by the insurance. They kept saying the insurance did not pay for this. I don't get it. Medicare pays for cataract surgery but won't pay to get the eyes checked to have the surgery? Also, my receipt for the $50 doesn't even say what the charge was for...just says $50 charge. I heard them charge the same $50 to another patient who was checking out and also heard them tell a customer that they were charging them $25 to fill out a form. I won't ever go back to this place. What a rip off.

Four stars because scheduling is sometimes difficult and getting through on the phone is nearly…read moreimpossible. All of this is made MUCH better with MyChart, though. Dr. McIntosh has been my primary care doctor for over a decade. He is very personable and has an excellent bedside manner. He has seen me through quite a few health issues and always pops through when I've been admitted to the hospital. We don't have all the answers for my health problems but I can't say he doesn't LISTEN to every single one of them. He orders tests and refers me to specialists when needed. I've never felt misunderstood or dismissed which is not something I can say for many many specialists I've seen. To be fair, Auto Immune diseases are notoriously difficult to diagnose but I can confidently say Dr. McIntosh is doing everything he can to help me get answers. I would send anyone I know to see him without reservation. *Read up on Celiac Disease, doc! The amount of misinformation from medical professionals on this is criminal and a huge disservice to those who have it. Effects from celiac damage can spill over into almost every other part of your body. Celiac is for life and a negative blood test/scope (after a positive one) means you're doing well GF. it does NOT mean Celiac went away and you can eat what you wish! Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk (which I shockingly have to give to almost every doctor I've seen.)

A few years ago I was in search of a great doctor but was having a hard time finding one... I…read morechecked out a couple that were okay, but the hunt continued until I found Dr. McIntosh. I was sold after my first appointment. If you live in the St. Peters/O'Fallon area, this is your guy. If you live downtown, this is still your guy. I swear he's worth the drive. I've never had a doctor pay more attention to what I'm telling him and genuinely care about what it is that I'm saying... and that's priceless. He's also a pretty funny guy who tries to be "hip" to what's going on in the world and strikes up the funniest conversations! Dr. McIntosh is thorough and knowledgeable, and he'll get you back up and running in no time. I've seen him for typical stuff such as allergies and colds, and he makes great recommendations and always gives me tips that help me feel ten times better. I even had to call the after-hours line once with a bad sinus infection (sure he appreciated that one) and he was still as caring and attentive even though I was bugging him late at night. What puts him above all others is how he follows up and doesn't give up until you've fixed whatever the problem is. For myself, the allergy queen, he prescribed a medicine and a nose spray and had me check in with him 7 days later via the phone, and we spoke that often until he had me on a plan that was working wonders. Looks like I'll be driving that 45 minutes next time I need him!
