    The doctor's care is not the issue. Or last two visits for my 92 year old diabetic father had us…read morewaiting in the waiting room for one hour and two hours. He apologized saying there was an emergency but considering my dad's appointment took all of 5 minutes- it's really inexcusable. So many reviews here say he over books. Well this is the result. My mom even called me worried for dad cause we backed up to his lunch time- his sugar levels are the issue. Yes we carry stuff for him but 2 hour delays. No way! It's ALWAYS a 1 hour minimum wait. And I had an appointment he made me late for.

    My ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Vu at Retina Associates. They saw me the next day, which was…read morefortunate for me because it was the last day of my summer vacation from work. I did have to wait in the waiting room, but at least it was comfortable. Upon paying my co pay, they gave me a folder with bios on all the doctors - pretty impressive careers! My retina exam was very thorough, with high tech equipment, and lots of blasts of light into my eyes. In the end, there was nothing to be concerned about. Dr. Vu explained everything, and sent my results to my referring doctor. My only tip is to park on the street or in the garage kitty corner from the Montgomery Center (Both are currently under construction). You'll save money, except if arrive after five pm, them it is free.

    I have seen many complaints about the poor customer service and long waiting times, but that just…read morehasn't been my experience. I was seen quickly and the quality of the care was satisfactory. I did have to wait more than the usual 30 minutes after my pupil dilation to get seen, but that is my only real complaint.

    NOTE: I filled my lens prescription elsewhere, so this review is just about the eye doctor…read more PROS * Staff were mostly fine * Eye doctor (when I finally saw her) did a good job CONS * Parking - Park at Java Nation or Whole Foods, buy a drink, and walk over to this location. I couldn't figure out how parking works in this area. * Clear your schedule - As other reviews have noted, speed is not their strong suit. Definitely the longest trip to an eye doctor I've had. I came in on a Fri morning, and it took them about 15 mins to get me in. Had an eye test done and then sat around for another 20 mins. Another test. Another 15 minutes before I finally see the doctor. All told it was a 1.5 hour visit for maybe 5 minutes interacting with staff. * Skip the "flip the eyelid" test. One of the young techs that worked here tried to do this and it was super uncomfortable. I don't even know if his hands were clean. He couldn't seem to do it and I couldn't get over someone jabbing their finger in my eye. He ended up just really frustrated. When I finally saw the eye doc like 45 mins later, it didn't even come up. * Masking - While waiting I sat in a crowded waiting room, nobody wearing masks, which I guess is fine now but when cold and flu seasons rolls back around ... OTHER They required two visits - They couldn't see me for both glasses and an eye doctor check (i.e. check for problems). This was supposedly due to an insurance requirement, but the incredibly slow service means I had to come back and dump another entire afternoon in a month. NOTE: You'll see a very reasonable reply from the company below this review. Please note that I haven't been back because a friend visited months later and said they had the same experience. As requested by yelp, that does not impact my review, but it did keep me from trying them again.
