    As persistent ocular troubles were plaguing me, I was referred here by my insurance, so I didn't…read morepick Alabama Ophthalmology Associates but I was satisfied overall. I only saw Dr. Phillips, and he was able to diagnose my troubles. I guess I would describe Dr. Phillips as sort of grandfatherly; he asked me questions about what I do and would comment on current news stories. The front desk staff and nurses were polite and professional. Marie, the contact lens fitter, is a nice lady who is patient, willing to explain everything and often just starts explaining things without you asking, and is dedicated to putting you in the best possible lenses. She also doesn't push you to buy contacts from them which is something I always worry about. I think Marie is part of the optical shop side of AOA (Optiks), but I'll just include her here. Minus one star because of the unpredictable doctor wait times. I always get an early morning appointment, and I've waited anywhere from -5 minutes to 70 minutes past my appointment time to be shown back.

    I'm 19 years old, and this was one of the most ridiculous and unprofessional experiences I've ever…read morehad. It was dark, I was alone in an unfamiliar/bad part of town, and I pulled into the parking lot for literally a few minutes because I was trying to pull up my maps and figure out where I was going. I did not see the signs, and yes, I understand that I probably shouldn't have pulled into the lot. I can admit that. But what happened afterward was completely unnecessary. When I realized the chain was up and I was stuck, I called the after-hours number. The first woman I spoke to was helpful and made sure I was able to get out, then transferred me to another woman. Instead of helping me, this woman immediately started accusing me of lying. She told me, "I'm not getting the story straight. Our maintenance closes the entrance at 6, so it sounds to me like you parked your car to go get a couple drinks down the street." Excuse me?? I am a 19-year-old girl, alone, in the dark, trying to find my way somewhere safely. I was NOT drinking, and I was NOT lying. I was so confused by the accusation that I told her to pull up the cameras because I could see them from where I was standing. I even told her I could see on my Life360 that I arrived at 7:38 PM and that she would clearly be able to see that. She continued telling me that her cameras didn't have access to where I was. So your cameras can't see who is pulling into or leaving your parking deck, but I'm standing right in front of them and can literally see them pointed toward the area I was parked in? That makes absolutely no sense. The first woman was able to help me, but the second woman made it very clear she was NOT coming down there, while continuing to interrogate me and accuse me of lying. She even told me, "I ain't coming back down there,, I got family in town." I understand I shouldn't have pulled into the lot. It was dark, I didn't see the signs, and I was simply trying to find my maps and get somewhere safely. I was already upset and worried about being stuck there. There was absolutely NO reason to accuse me of being drunk, accuse me of lying, or speak to me the way she did. I called the after-hours number because I needed help, not to be treated like I was some drunk teenager making up a story. The attitude and lack of professionalism were completely unacceptable.

    The past two years I've gone to this location for my eye exam, but after this past week's visit, I…read morewill not be going again. The office REEKED of marijuana. Really bad. Not sure if it was from an employee or a patient, but it was so much it was permeating the entire back part of the office. I had seen the doctor, and I was sitting in the back waiting for my eyes to dilate. My eyes were already sensitive from the dilation, and then the employee came through spraying febreeze in the air to remove the smell of marijuana, which irritated my eyes even more! I couldn't believe it. I was cleared to leave after 20 more minutes. I was asked if I wanted to look at glasses, but I couldn't stand to be in the office anymore. I'll go elsewhere to purchase glasses, and will go somewhere else for my exam next year.

    Have been in this location with a friend for a few times to help them select frames. I had time…read morebefore another appointment so I ran in to pick out frames for myself. I was greeted after a few minutes and told they would be with me soon. No problems, I took a seat and surfed the web while I waited. My reminder alarmed went off reminding me of my pending appointment. For some reasons a business conversation had turned into wedding plans conversation while I waited. When I stood up and headed towards the exit all of a sudden they wanted to treat me like a paying customer. Oh no thank you, this isn't a place I'm willing to spend my money. There was more than one employee that could have displayed professional behavior but choice to ignore me. My friend loves this place. Me? I will never darken their doorsteps again.
