I've been…read morecoming to this office for many years, and generally had good experiences up until about two years ago. I came in for my routine exam, and things went as expected. I picked a pair of frames and spent about $300+ after insurance. Again, no complaints. Kat called me to inform me that my glasses were ready for pick up. I went and immediately noticed that the prescription was not correct. I shared this concern at pick up and was told that due to the prescription that I needed to wear them for about two weeks to allow my eyes to get adjusted. I didn't fully understand this because my prescription was the same as it had always been. I complied, and experienced headache and eye aches. I shared this and went back to the location. Again, I was assured that the prescription was current and shouldn't cause me to have any concerns. Instead it was. No resolve, I left to advocate another day. I went home and found my prescriptions from the prior year and current year, I called back and spoke to Kat to share with her my concerns and findings. She found the error, and i stead of apologizing she just took the glasses. The wrong prescription was totally wrong. I left the glasses and came back a few days later to pick them up. Again, I am still having an issue seeing. I shared this again, but was over talked and ignored. I was given the same advice of allowing the eyes to adjust to this situation. After two weeks and same concern I went somewhere else. They were able to find the concern and I spoke with the location and was told I would get a call back. It never happened, time passed and it slipped my mind to follow-up. I did call back months later and was told that although I communicated my concerns of not being able to see, and I was awaiting a response that too much time had passed for them to adjust the prescription. It sucks that I have had to overly communicate, advocate and continuously go back and fourth to get this situation corrected and still no resolve. I shared my concerns at every visit. I brought up the concern and did everything and I am still in a position of losing out money because of this. While I have a good experience at this facility the last two years have been difficult. I am choosing to not patronize going forward. While this is my experience, I share so that you are well informed.

    My grandmother has been dealing with ongoing complications since her cataract surgery for nearly…read moreTWO YEARS. She constantly feels like there is something stuck in her eye every single day. This is not a minor inconvenience. It affects her quality of life all day, every day. She has told the exact same consistent story to every doctor she has seen. This is not confusion. This is not an exaggeration. This is a persistent, lived physical experience. At her recent appointment with Dr. Eddie Harris, she hoped to feel heard. Instead, she was completely dismissed. He told her there was "nothing wrong" and instructed her to stop seeing other eye doctors and just go back to her primary care physician. A primary care physician...for an eye issue following cataract surgery. That suggestion alone was confusing and felt like a way to brush her off. What was worse than the words was the tone. The dismissiveness. The implication that she was imagining it. When an elderly patient expresses ongoing discomfort that has lasted for years, the bare minimum expectation is compassion and curiosity, not condescension. There are few things more defeating than knowing something is wrong with your body and being made to feel like you're crazy for saying it. If you are looking for an ophthalmologist who listens carefully, takes persistent symptoms seriously, and treats patients with empathy, I would strongly encourage you to consider your options carefully. No patient, especially not an elderly one, deserves to leave a medical appointment feeling unheard, minimized, and embarrassed.
