I have a super complicated eye history. I've had laser surgery, then a retinal detachment with…read moreanother surgery, leading to a very unusual astigmatism. It is very hard to explain what I am seeing. However, Dr. Thompson was the first person to really understand, listen to me, and do something about what I was seeing that was abnormal. This was the most comprehensive eye exam I have ever had. They check everything very efficiently, effectively, and with care. I usually try to order my glasses from places online to avoid massive costs at optometrists and when I ask questions about that at the doctor, I'm usually greeted with eye rolls and am ignored because I'm not giving them business. However, at this center, they helped me figure out what would be best for me. They gave me my prescription so I could check out other options online and call back if I needed. They even gave me credit as a new patient towards glasses or contacts! Even if you live an hour away, it is worth the trip to get your eyes checked here. Especially if you have a complicated history, like myself.

Ashley really helped my wife pick out her glasses! To us, that means a lot! Thanks Ashley!read more

Update:08-24-2022 I…read morehave been working for an entire month to get my billing correct! It appears that they just plug numbers in after you prove that what they're charging you is incorrect they will then change your billing and add something extra in so they're tip is to make as much money as they can for their mistakes. I am counseling all of my surgeries and finding somebody else to do this who has hopefully a better billing system. This billing system appears to be fraud and I am going to be reporting it to the better Business bureau and elsewhere. I am a diabetic and I am having diabetic exam and according to Humana my co-payment is zero. I did explain and they said if you don't pay the co-payment there's a $5 fee added to it. When I got down to the Carolina eye associates Pinehurst there was quite a delay and discussion about the $50 plus $5 that I owe and convenience fee from their office located in Albemarle NC. I once again explain to them that my insurance covers at a zero co-payment. I had the insurance company on the phone and they ignored the insurance representative and said that they would figure it out if there's been a mistake. The staff in billing refused to speak with the insurance representative. I was shocked!! I also had a witness to these events. I'd recommend some other practice that has a decent billing dept. Majority of their staff are rude. Spoke to initial staff before day of appointment. Need a lot of improvement there as well. Please hire above average intelligent people it would be less stressful. If anyone wants to know what I mean by that I will happy to explain!

It has taken over a month to get my eye glasses. I was overcharged by $100. Talked down to…read moreeverytime I called to check on status if glasses.

After calling 4 weeks in a row to check about glasses, they finally agreed that they did not know where they were and to refund my $. 2 days later I get a call at 11 am telling me to bring credit card by and they would refund to card. 3 hours later I get a snippy call telling me glasses were in????
