Worst customer service I have seen. The gentleman who answers the phone at the call center is rude…read moreand worthless.

My rating would be zero if I could. Thus is not based on the office or personal in Boone, NC. They…read morewere very friendly and kind. I went in on 09/07/2024 for an eye exam and also bought a pair of glasses. Ms Joann was very helpful and pleasant as was Dr Emily Skully. Joann correctly figured my cost and I paid that day. One month later I received an additional invoice stating I still owed $161.40. After a 4th notice in early December and a threat to collect. I once again contacted Ms Joann in the Boone office. She assured me I only had to pay the original cost on 09/07/2024. She also found that her billing department refiled differently which was in error. Long story short, it took me several calls to billing over a period of another 4 months. Each time I called I got.the same story from each different person. It was turned back to my insurance and they were still waiting on them to respond. Even though my insurance stated the they did received the claim 3 months after it was filed (or so I was told), and replied 2 days later (6 weeks ago). During my several calls to billing, I had asked to speak to a supervisor, the standard response was that the super was busy but would call me back ASAP. 8 times and I never received a call back. After so many calls I was finally able to reach someone with intelligence. They did not resolve my issue so I once again I contacted Joann in Boone. She kept me.on the phone.as she personally rectified the situation and was able to resolve this and issued a refund that day. Finally 8 months later it was done. The billing department I had to deal with all those months were the most rude, incompitent, and noncaring I have ever seen in my over 70+ years of living. Thanks to this experience, I will never use this company again. Amen
