She was good with my son and while I feel she over tested me for glaucoma (with no family history) I went along with it every 6 months even though the test always came back normal. When my income dropped I qualified for a lower premium through Covered California, the same Blue Shield PPO insurance where she is listed as a provider. Blue Shield assured me it is the same coverage so I was shocked when I went for my exam after paying the $250 for the "administration fee" and the was charged $415 for the exam as she denied taking my revised insurance. So, basically $665 for one appointment! Needless to say, I found a new doctor. They take my insurance no problem, no annual processing fee. I should note, that my other doctors have no issue with my insurance. The new place I found also charges half what Dr. Shimokaji charges for a refraction prescription. While I had a nice long run with Dr. Shimokaji, she just priced me out of her practice. I wish I had searched for someone sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.

Got there at my appointment time, but forgot the glasses I wanted them to help me with, so I asked if it was ok to go back out to the car to get them. And the person at the desk said ok. I only learned when I got back, that was the doctor at the desk. Kind of a strange interaction, given that was the doctor and she was not friendly. I went here since they have great reviews and my doctor was away on vacation. Anyway, then she invited me back for the first tests. Ones I've seen before, but I asked her specifically to tell me what she was going to do before she does it. I have anxiety and it helps me. She rolled her eyes at me multiple times, scoffed at me for being nervous, and overall treated me with little to no respect, walking away and threatening to end the appointment. I would NEVER go back here and I have no clue why they have good reviews, they must give people a discount or something. Anyway, doctors are there to give people care, treat them with respect, and take the patient seriously-this was not the case with Dr Freeman. Do not go here if you want a nice, warm, caring professional.
