Really disappointed in the after/follow up care I received after cataract surgery. My vision is…read morehorrible. The "warranty" is 60 days I was att 91 days when I called. They charged me full price, over $230 for the office visit. The Dr told me to use refresh eye drops more often, it was probably dry eyes, he was struggling too. I have and do use eyedrops through out the day, for years. It has been 1 year and my vision in the corrected eye, new lenses in my glasses too, is aweful. I will need the other eye done and will go elsewhere. I was going to switch my vision care to this office but will stick with Costco. The office staff is great, the Dr is nice, but "good enough" does'nt cut it when it comes to corrected vision.

Once in the exam room I waited an hour before I finally called the front desk and asked them what was going on, that I had had been in the exam room for an hour. They said they would let someone know. About 10 minutes later a tech came and said that I was next, that it shouldn't be too long. Thirty minutes later the doctor came in. I waited a total of an hour and a half! On top of that the doctor didn't have the professional courtesy to apologize. She just began working on my eye, she also tweaked my eye while examining it, which was extremely painful. She then blew it off explaining to the tech that I was experiencing a little problem, that I was feeling uncomfortable. I have never experienced such treatment by an eye care professional. There are some positives though: before this visit I did see a Dr. Bagga, who was great, the optician named Rhonda was fabulous and the clinics lab did do a super job on my prescription, and finally the front desk staff were very polite and courteous.

I have been a patient of record at this facility for decades, intermittently. I called to book my…read morehusband an appointment for today several weeks ago and was told for him to arrive "a few minutes early for paperwork". He went to the wrong Albany facility, so arrived at 10:10 AM for his 10 AM appointment. They turned him away, stating he should have arrived at 930 AM. When I called to inquire as to the discrepancy of early arrival instruction as he would've had a larger cushion of time to have made it to the correct facility, the receptionist said that it's here nor there because he was late, and that they have a seven minute policy so he was there for three minutes outside of the policy, and they are now booking out to May. Wow.

I chose this location because it was the only provider south of Salem that accepted my insurance…read more Unfortunately, from start to finish, this was one of the most ridiculous and aggrivating experiences I've had. Issue #1: Insurance confusion before the appointment even started. When I arrived, the associate helping me, Veronica, told me they did not accept my insurance because she didn't have it listed. This was despite the fact that I had confirmed coverage both when scheduling the appointment and directly with my insurance company beforehand. She eventually had to call another location to verify the information, but acted as though doing so was a major inconvenience. Issue #2: Problems with the eye exam. The exam itself went smoothly until the end, when the virtual optometrist apparently forgot to save my prescription before closing my chart. I had to return to the exam room and wait approximately 20 minutes while an associate called technical support and tried to figure out how to recover and save the prescription. Issue #3: Incorrect insurance processing and billing. After selecting and paying out of pocket for a pair of glasses, I asked about ordering contacts. My insurance benefit covers up to $170 toward contacts, so I requested a one-year supply and expected to pay any remaining balance myself. Instead, I was repeatedly told my insurance would only cover $95. On top of that, I was charged a $60 exam fee that should have been covered 100% by my insurance. After multiple failed attempts to process everything correctly, I was told to go home and call my insurance company myself. Issue #4: The insurance issue was caused by employee error. After speaking with my insurance company, I returned to the store. Veronica again ran into the same issue. Another employee suggested deleting and re-entering my insurance information from scratch. Veronica seemed annoyed to do this, but as soon as she re-entered the information correctly, the full $170 benefit magically appeared. The problem was not my insurance, it was entered incorrectly from the beginning. Instead of taking ownership of the mistake, the blame was repeatedly placed on me and my insurance provider. Issue #5: The wrong contacts were ordered. I specifically requested a one-year supply of bi-weekly contacts. Veronica processed the order and I paid more than $150 out of pocket. When my husband later picked up the order, we discovered that she had ordered three months' worth of daily contacts instead. I genuinely do not understand how an order could be that different from what was requested. Issue #6: Management promised a resolution and still got it wrong. I called and spoke with the manager, who apologized and assured me she would make the situation right. She told me she would order the correct one-year supply of bi-weekly contacts and waive any additional fees because of all the mistakes that had occurred. A week later, I returned to pick up my contacts, expecting the issue to finally be resolved. Instead, there were only two boxes waiting for me. When I explained that I was supposed to be receiving a one-year supply, the associate helping me checked the order and informed me that the manager had only ordered two boxes. He acknowledged the mistake and offered to add two more boxes to try to make it right. At this point, I had dealt with insurance errors, billing issues, prescription problems, incorrect orders, and now even the manager's attempted fix was processed incorrectly. Every step of this experience involved errors, delays, or misinformation. Mistakes happen, but what was most frustrating was the complete lack of attention to detail and the fact that I repeatedly had to spend my own time correcting problems that were created by the staff. What should have been a simple eye exam and contact lens order turned into multiple visits, phone calls, and hours of unnecessary frustration. I cannot recommend this location based on my experience. I would much rather drive to Salem every year than ever go to this location again.
