I had a 1:30 appointment for an annual eye exam that lasted 4 hours. I brought in my prescription contacts and gave the tech a run down of what I was using for contacts and why I was there. She conducted my exam which started nearly 2 hours after my original appointment time. After looking over my current contacts, the previous contact prescription and my current glasses she gave me a vision test and dilated my eyes. I then waited another half hour for another woman who made sure my eyes were dilated and then waited some more for Dr. Aminlari. Dr. Aminlari was funny and personable he also seemed to care or take interest with my needs. However when I asked him for my contact prescription he just starred at me like a deer in headlights. After a long pause he said, "Well I don't know how to write prescriptions for contacts I have to have another doctor write one up for you but I'll mail it out to you." I thought that was so strange, even the optomotrist at Sams Club can write a prescription for contacts. I have never been to a optomotrist or ophthalmologist that was unable to write a prescription for contacts. AND WHY DIDN'T THE TECH TELL ME THAT DOCTOR AMINLARI DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR CONTACTS WHEN I HANDED HER MY CONTACTS AND PREVIOUS PRESCRIPTION AND TOLD HER I WANTED TO SEE IF I NEEDED A NEW PRESCRIPTION FOR CONTACTS? The entire experience was "OFF" from the rude receptionist who hung up on me when I asked her an insurance question while first scheduling my appointment, to the long wait times, to the tech who didnt bother to tell me I couldnt get a prescription for contacts when thats what I was there for. It was just one big unpleasant experience. The only good was that the tech I saw was a nice young lady and the dr was personable, both had great people skills. But at the end of the day I went in and paid for a service I did not receive. read more

Really appreciated Dr Katzman's calm demeanor and informed approach. Especially in working with a child with chronic issues- I appreciated being listened to and the light handed approach to treatment. read more

Tara M. Viechnicki Was great, very professional very thorough strongly recommend her. Receptionist was good, technicians ok. The wait time was reasonable given I was the new Patient. The location was easy to find, parking was good. Overall a very good experience. read more

while my appointment was thorough and expedited, my husband's appointment the next day, had delays, even though he was the first scheduled appointment of the day at 7:00 am. the staff was very friendly, no pressure, and we even received gift bags! read more

All of the staff at Morris Eye Group are very courteous and attentive. Questions are answered quickly and graciously.

The wait was long, but I was warned ahead of time that it would be. That's my only nitpicky complaint. All of the staff I interacted with were kind, courteous, patient - all the things you want from a medical office. They gave my son coloring sheets and crayons and made sure he wasn't too bored (he's 4). I highly recommend this office. The glasses selection was good, the staff knowledgeable about insurance coverages and options, the facility neat and clean, and my son even got a candy at the end of the visit. read more

I've been going to Morris Eye Group for 15 years or so. Appointments always move along quickly. Dr. Bodman has been great.

The motto for Morris Eye Group is, "The doctor's time is more important than the patient - and we'll prove it to you." Yes, once you actually see a doctor the care and their knowledge/expertise is good - but the process of seeing a doctor is so painful you'll start to question if vision is all that important. I was once kept waiting at their Oceanside office for 2 hours and 45 minutes, simply because they were "very busy." When you visit again, you'll learn they are always "very busy", so long waits are the norm. I would recommend using them if you are retired and have nothing more important to do in your life than wait in an office. Otherwise, find another doctor - becaue Morris Eye Group doesn't care about customer service. read more

I have never been this impressed with ANY other medical facility. While other medical settings make me feel like just a number (lots of folks in a waiting room, long waits, a doctor who barely looks you in the eye and just asks their routine questions, takes notes, then tells you something you already knew), I felt welcomed and cared for every step of the way at Morris Eye Group. The receptionist was welcoming & kind. The tech who screened me was thoughtful, thorough, personable and answered all my questions without question, attitude or hesitation. And the doctor treated me like I was the only patient he had that day. I recommended Morris Eye Group to my entire family and all my friends! Anyone dissatisfied with the dehumanization of the medical industrial complex can expect a sense of relief at Morris Eye Group :) read more

Wow! I thought this place was just a little odd, but now I see they are really over charging you and your insurance by double billing and more. I highly recommend avoiding Morris Eye Group like the plague! You have been duly warned. read more

My family and I have used this group for the past 10 years. Dr. Goldman and Dr. Bodman were very professional and helpful; however the customer service is increasingly disastrous: they are rude on the phone and in the office; the front desk people is rough and inept; the waiting time is getting much longer; when you schedule an appointment, they reschedule it without notice; and more... From now on we will go somewhere else and never recommend this group to anyone. read more

I did not want them to get any stars. Please read as I don't want others to go through what I did I went to Morris Eye Group for a regular check up towards the end of august. I took my prescription as always to Costco. When I got them and put them on I immediately got a migraine. The people at Costco said oh my they put a spectrum to the highest amount on your prescription and your never had this before. After much arguing on the phone with Morris eye group as they said that wasn't true they finally took that off the prescription so when I went to get them a second time at Costco. They were still wrong! I went have to their office and they said no they were right and made me feel like I was in the wrong because I count see. So after being rather loud they finally let me see an other doctor. He wrote a new prescription without saying sorry we were wrong twice can we refill the glass. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. So once again Costco refilled them for free and sadly it doesn't end here. They were wrong again really!! Yes. So I paid to go to the Costco eye doctors who wrote me yet another prescription. And yes Costco refill them for free now the fourth time. And finally I got my new glasses. And yes I can see but it's now October! These people don't really care about you or your vision and will do nothing to help you. Only make it seem like it's your fault when it is definitely theirs. So spare the time and aggravation and go somewhere else. This is my first time writing on Yelp but everyone needs to be forewarned about this eye group. We only one set of eyes! read more

The staff here is friendly and helpful. They strike a good balance between educating you on your eyesight and being efficient. I did have to wait awhile to see the doctor, but they were nice about reassuring me I would be seen soon. The women who help pick out eye glasses have been helpful and patient. They also take a lot of insurance plans. Overall, a great place! read more

I came for Ophthalmology service and did not come for eye glasses. However I had to spend most of my time for optometry to issue me a new prescription for eye glasses and was forced to buy the new lens with an outraged cost, $400+ from me plus insurance pay, and refused to give me the prescription for the glasses. Also it is Very difficult to get through to their phone. read more

My first visit. I hadnt had an eye exam in many years. Everyone was kind, patient and so knowledgeable. I wish i had gone earlier. Only complaint was that there was so much wait time. I do realize this could have just been that day. I would highly recommend however. read more

Literally the worst service and quality I've ever experienced. Lack of any sort of human or common curtesy PLEASE do not come here. Their optical/Eye glass office has the worst staff with continuous pressure and horrible attitude from these women. Yes they have good selection of brands but, not worth spending $400-$500 for your frames. After having met with optical, I couldn't wait to leave their office out pure frustration. I can believe these people are even allowed to speak to customers this way. Unbelievable. SMH. read more

I've gone to Morris Eye Group for several years because they're the only local eye practice that's on my current (but not for much longer, thank goodness) health plan. My first negative experience with them was when I questioned why they collected the higher copay for my health insurance rather than the lower copay for my vision plan, since both covered the service I was getting. I was simply told that that was their practice - no other explanation. The next time I went there they did collect the lower copay for my vision plan but couldn't explain why they hadn't done that before. They start calling with appointment reminders several weeks before an appointment and leave at least 3 or 4 "reminders", each one asking you to "press 1 to confirm." I press 1 but they still call back with more reminders. I've asked them for only one reminder but it doesn't seem to help. They told me I have a thinning macula and recommended some rather expensive vitamins to help rebuild it. I was alarmed so I followed their suggestions. After taking them for two years with little results I was finally told, "You know they're fat soluble, don't you?" NO, nobody told me that and I eat a very low fat diet, so I've invested two years and a couple thousand dollars and haven't been taking them the most effective way. Finally, and what prompted me to finally write this review, is that Dr. Sara Julazadeh (who is an optometrist, not an ophthalmologist as I'd requested to see) was very quick to recommend that I have a visual field test because she saw signs of possible glaucoma. This alarmed me so I went ahead and scheduled the test (for another $30 copay). I was told I'd get the results in about a week. I called when I hadn't heard after a week and was told that it takes two weeks. After two weeks I still hadn't heard from them so I called again and was told they'd give the message to the doctor and someone would call me that day. They didn't. I went out of the country for a week and (foolishly) expected to have a voicemail from them when I returned. There wasn't one. I called for a third time today, told them how unhappy I was that they were quick to recommend tests and raise patients' anxiety levels but not so quick to get patients the results of those tests, so how necessary could those tests really be? I gave them my cell number and told them that I expected a call back TODAY! Guess what -- it never came! I'll be so glad when I can go back to Scripps and deal with responsible, ethical doctors and office staff again! read more

I have been seeing Michelle Crosby for years and she and her staff are excellent. Ive recommend her to others who havè always received wonderful treatment too. The appointment was easy to make, the staff is always friendly and professional and she is knowledgeable and engaging. She shares office space within the Morris Group office and i highly recommend her. read more

Made an appointment for an opthalmologist to diagnose and treat an eye problem. After the inept exam, I found out it was an optometrist seeing me said I was having an ocular migraine. This was a complete misdiagnosis, because I later found out from an actual opthalmologist that I had suffered a stroke of my optic nerve. Big difference. Maybe they can prescribe glasses here, but definitely don't go to them for any problem with your vision. They are clueless. read more

My main experience is with Dr. Crosby. (I was with her since before she joined Morris Eye Group). I can't say enough good stuff about Dr. Crosby. I have had two Cataracts done now by her (and I'm not an old guy - but I think too much surfing over the years). Making the decision as to which lenses (once I decided to go for it) is hard as there are some different options now. But she helped me decide on the best one for me. Very happy and I can see like a young guy again. No more glasses or contacts! read more

My family and I have been here multiple times, and as other reviewers have mentioned, wait times are WAY too long. When you make an appointment you expect to be seen with 15-20 minutes of appointment time, not 1 - 2 hours AFTER appointment time!!! Are you kidding me!!! Additionally, doctors and staff are incredibly un-personable. I don't know why I've waited so long, but my family and I will be finding a new optometrist. read more

The exam was very thorough and staff was professional. The only complaint I had is I was not told my eyes would be dilated and wasn't prepared. Luckily, I live close by and was able to drive home without incident. I would highly recommend Morris Eye Group. read more

I swore I'd never come back to this office again after my past frustrating experiences, but this is one of my only insurance options. My worst appointment was waiting 2-1/2 hours for same-time exams for my two kids. It was torture! They get you in and then have you wait endlessly. I saw a number of retirees who were happy to wait, but busy professionals or parents with kids -- be warned. The shortest time I've ever spent on a quick recheck appointment has been 90 minutes. However, with all of that said, the most frustrating part for me is the forced sales pitch at the in-office eyeglass store. Even if you say you don't want to order glasses through them, they refuse to bypass that step. In fact, I think they make you wait even long as punishment. There's an older woman who works there who gets real snippy if you don't want to order glasses. If you have an option, go elsewhere. read more

My wife took my boys here for an annual exam. One of my sons needed his contact lens prescription renewed - he's been wearing contacts for over 2 years. The office insisted he needed a $160 contact lens fitting. We saw an MD for his eye exam and she did nothing with the contacts. Before they left the office, my wife asked for the contact lens RX, and she was told another doctor needed to "design" the lenses. Don't know what that means, but they left the office empty handed. They were told someone would call us when trial lenses were ready for pick up. 1 week later, no phone call. My wife had to make multiple calls. Same as what other reviewers say, they will promise to call back, never will. They basically take your money and don't care what happens after that. Finally, we get the trials. We were told to call for a "contact lens check" once he had a couple days of trials left and he would come in for a quick 2 minute exam and then they would give him his contact lens RX. My wife calls to make the appt and first is told their computer system is down and someone will call back. They never did. She calls again and is told the latest time available (for both locations) is 1:30 period, as far as the schedule goes. My wife told them she did not want to pull my son out of school early for a 2 min contact lens check- "sorry, that's all we have". The truth of the matter is, they will only give after school appts to people having initial exams where they will be taking your money. When we made their first appt, we were able to get a 4pm appt the same week, no problem. All we want is my sons contact lens RX and we can't get it. We now have an appt. at Costco so we can get a prescription so my son can see. There goes $120 on top of the $160 Morris already charged. Shame on Morris Eye Group!!! read more

Absolutely horrible experience. Spent over $1,000 for two pairs of glasses, both of which made my vision worse when I tried them on. They used bs excuses like "your eyes have to get use to them". I've worn glassed before many times and this has never been the case. It's also the most expensive place I've ever been to. Stay FAR, FAR away from this company as they are a complete rip-off and only care about money!!!!! I told them to keep their glasses and refund my money. If there are any positive reviews on this board they are most likely from employees! read more

Horrible. Like some of the other reviews on here have already stated, expect to wait long after your appointment time before you get to see someone. One time, they forgot me and left me in the waiting room for over an hour and didn't realize it until I approached them. This office seems to be more interested in making money than caring for their patients. The doctor is impatient, and gets annoyed if you ask too many questions. Also, when I call and ask to speak with someone about a medical question, they never have a doctor or tech available. Further, they don't always return phone calls so you have to call multiple times. All in all, very bad experience, incompetent staff, and impatient doctors. read more

Only have been seen once so my experience is limited but i really liked the Dr and Support staff. So far so good!

I read so many negative reviews about this place, I thought by the time I am due for my annual exam things would change. Maybe a new manager would see what poor customer service this is. But nothing has changed - there is still no regard for your time. This is indeed high volume and be prepared for a long wait. I arrived on time and was seen by a tech, then turned over to another tech after my eyes were dialated. Then on to the opticion. I asked for a quote on sun glasses with bi focal lense. He wrote up a bill of $500 NOT including the frames. I told him that I would check elsewhere, Then long wait to see Jane for review of tests. Jane apologized for being so late and then rushed through my exam and then stated that the technician had missed something in my earlier testing and I should wait to be called back by him. I asked how long this technician had been on the job and she replied "awhile".I had now been there 2 hours. Back in the waiting room where I observed the opticians all chatting with one another. After another 1/2 hour no one came for me. Decided I had enough of this place and walked out. The next day I realized they had not given me my RX for new glasses so called on the phone. Receptonist said she would mail it - after one week I received a RX for eye drops! Called again and told them I would pick up the RX for new glasss. Even talked to the gal who originally took my request and, of course, she had not idea what happened. I had to make a special trip to get the RX. read more

Be careful - they schedule annual checkup appointments automatically without you asking for them and you have to call and cancel. What's with that?! read more

Everyone is great at this office. My only complaint is the wait time. But, on that note, I must say, my last visit was unusual. It was my annual appt and I was moved from tech to tech and then the doctor quite smoothly. My wait time in between tests was maybe 5 to 10 minutes. This is the way to go. Dr. Bodman is wonderful. read more

Extremely satisfied customer! I got Lasik done by Dr. Morris 2 weeks ago and just found out yesterday at my second follow-up appt that my vision in both eyes is now 20/15. Before the surgery I couldnt see anything more than a few feet in front of me without contacts/glasses. Really didn't know what to expect with the procedure, but other than being a little anxious, the surgery was quick, pain free, and took no more than 5-6 minutes per eye. I was only in the procedure chair for about 15-20 minutes and once they sat me up I immediately could see better than I ever had in my life. Vision was 20/20 the next day at my first follow up appointment. Went back to work 48 hours after the procedure and have had no complications or problems now going on 2 weeks post-op. I highly recommend Dr. Morris and his team for anyone considering corrective vision surgery or even as a regular patient for exams, etc. which I am as well, (Kudos as well to Dr. Burke who is my regular "amazing" optometrist with Morris Eye Group and was also a part of my Lasik consult/follow-up process). read more

I've been going to the Morris Eye Group for many years. The staff and Doctors are personable and their technology just keep getting better. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Bodman was fantastic. She took time with me & was friendly. The tech that did the initial part of my eye exam was wonderful also. I liked the staff. The office was clean & nice. The parking was good. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because my wait time was longer than I expected. read more

Excellent and on time. Their waiting room is large, which when you are nearly blind and dilated is hard to deal with, but not enough to say they aren't a great establishment. read more

I had a good experience at my annual eye exam. I was seen by Dr. Butler and she was very nice and thorough.

Absolutely horrible! What happened to good old fashion eye exams by the doctor? I barely saw the doctor for 10mins! Everything was done by technicians that thought they were doctors. It was horrible! I definitely didn't go back for my annual eye exam there and would not recommend this place to anyone! read more

I have always been very please with the service and professionals at Morris Eye group and have been going here for a few years. I experienced a recent problem with my prescription and called to see how best to resolve it. Toni took my call and was extremely rude and condescending. When I asked to someone else, she began talking very slow and deliberate as if speaking with a child, and did not allow me to speak with someone else. I ended the call, and perhaps my relationship with Morris Eye Group. read more

STAY AWAY!!! I would never recommend this place! 1. They scheduled me with the wrong doctor. I have been wearing contacts for over 15 years and they scheduled me for a regular eye appointment. I was there for 2 hours and they tell me I have to make another appointment to see a doctor that will design my contacts...then I have to wear that trial pair and if they fit they will give me a Rx. Why would I need to see another doctor to check contacts that I wore when I came to this place and I have been wearing for over 10 years? Oh thats right...you scheduled me with they wrong doctor and the doctor that I should have really seen wasn't even there. 2. Watch what they charge! My husband went there on 10/9/14 and was charged a $10 co-pay. I went 12/9/14 and they charged me a $35 co-pay. They don't know what they are doing. I have VSP and federal insurance and there should be no difference in the charges. 3. Section where you pick frames ect. has no clue what they are doing! My husband went in on 10/9/14 and paid the contact fitting fee of $55 and paid the difference in the frame cost which his total bill came to $105.....(his frame was $225 and scratch resistance, reflective coating, lenses, and polycarbonate was all covered) he received 6 month supply of contacts and glasses for a total of $105. For me...the girl was trying to charge me for everything that is covered under my insurance and told me that they use a more premium lens? The frame I chose was less expensive than the frame my husband picked but she told me that it was going to cost $391. I would also have to pay a contact fitting fee. I would have to come back and see another doctor. And who knows if the would charge me another co-pay? Oh she tried to tell me maybe my insurance changed? Yeah sweetie I am sure it didn't change in 2 months! 4. Never did they try to get another individual check to see if there was an error. I asked to she a manager. TORI didn't even try to help. She said I can see we aren't going to please you and we will give you your co-pay and not bill your insurance...like you have never been here before. SHE LIED! She called me the next morning and told me they are going to have to bill my insurance? So now they are trying to bill my insurance....when they scheduled me with the WRONG doctor?!? I had to call my insurance and file an appeal. Horrible customer service! Incompetence in scheduling appointments! Lack of knowledge. Tried to over charge me! Pure waste of my time!!! I have been working in health care over 10 years as an RN and would never ever recommend this establishment to anyone! Future customers be aware of your benefits and don't let them fool you. Patients and customers have the right to choose with a wide selection of reasonable places...this eye group is not one of them. read more

I came to MEG for LASIK. I felt they were very thorough with exams, pre-op and post-op care. They made sure to set expectations and answer all questions, and they were very friendly. I would recommend them for your eye care. read more

I went for my final post cataract removal follow up appointment with Dr. Aminlari today. I am so happy with his work and his manner. The cataract surgery I had on my other eye at another clinic had a poor result. I was very nervous about having this procedure done on my only good eye, but had no choice since my vision was very poor because of the cataract. Dr. Aminlari was very understanding and assuring...I felt his concern for my situation. The results have been fantastic. I can see better than I ever remember...no glasses needed for distance, day or night. I appreciate his surgical skill, consultation expertise, bedside manner and promptly seeing me close to my appointment time . I highly recommend Dr. Aminlari and the Morris Eye Group for cataract surgery. read more
