Over the past few years, I started to…read moreexperience stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and fatigue doing normal tasks like driving, walking around in a store, or being in a crowded room. I used to do these tasks with ease, and it started to feel so difficult. For years, I thought it was just anxiety and started to stay home more often. I was avoiding doing fun things with my friends and family because it was so stressful and tiring for me. My symptoms progressively got worse, and I started to experience eye strain every day. I was constantly stressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed. I just thought I was crazy. I decided to call the Vision and Learning Center to see if they could help with my symptoms. I immediately knew I made the right choice because they listened to me and validated what I was experiencing. After running thorough tests to get a better idea of what was happening with my vision, I was diagnosed with Convergence Excess. I finally had a reason behind the debilitating symptoms I had been experiencing for years. I started going to weekly vision therapy appointments and worked closely with Betsy, Amanda, and Dr. Malikkal. I can't say enough good things about these three women. They are welcoming, kind, supportive, organized, and so knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed working with Betsy and Amanda each week. They guided me through every exercise, answered all my questions, and made me feel so supported throughout the entire process. Dr. Malikkal was incredibly diligent with my evaluations and kept meticulous records to track my progress. I started to notice real results fairly quickly in my vision therapy journey. After 6 months of therapy, I have officially graduated, and I feel like myself again for the first time in years. I am driving with ease. I once again can enjoy being in stores and busy environments. I feel immense happiness, relief, and gratitude. I have gotten my life back because of the Vision and Learning Center. If you are experiencing visual issues, I highly recommend giving the Vision and Learning Center a call. It will be the best decision you ever made.

We have been customers at the Collegeville location for several years and the customer service is…read moreexcellent. My husband and I have never had an eye exam that was so detailed with clear explanations. He is tall and always had issues with eye doctors not listening to him about the distance needed for reading. At the Eye Shoppe we received thorough exams and the prescriptions are on point. After years of purchasing eyeglasses from chains and them not fitting correctly and the progressives not being comfortable it is such a relief to know the eyeglasses will fit well with no vision issues. The prices are fair, they take our insurance, are knowledgeable about the process and the products, and within 2 weeks we have glasses that look and feel great. I recommend the Eye Shoppe to anyone I know or meet who wear eyeglasses.

Dr. Clark and his medical staff- (those fabulous individuals you are fortunate to see, once you…read moreleave the receptionist area, and those who are supposed to schedule, return calls, and are receptionists). Dr. Clark and his staff of nurses and residents are phenomenal. They are consistently extraordinary, which I attribute to the exceptional leadership of Dr. Clark. Too often, there's a large disconnect between the scheduling staff who continually do not return calls, and multiple messages need to be left on each office's voicemail. If you're complacent, you may never receive a return call for any reason. Nearly every time you call any one of the office locations, you must leave a voicemail, which is supposed to be returned within 72 hours. The scheduling staff operates with no sense of urgency, nor consideration. My worst experience, by far, was limited to my sole visit to the practice's Collegeville office, where the lone receptionist is belligerent, and not the first nor last person any patient would want to interact with at a physician's office. When I drove to the Collegeville location, using Waze, there was no photo to see the strip of offices, including Opthamology Physicians & Surgeons, which are all located behind a car wash. As you will see in the photos, unless you've been to the office before, it is difficult to determine which of 3-4 driveways is the entrance that leads to the facility. My initial appointment to have my eyes measured was three months from my appointment, at the time I was informed about my diagnosis. It took repeated calls, every few weeks, and an unnecessary test of tenacity, to obtain an appointment nearly two months later, as opposed to three, and visit a location that required over a 2 1/2 hour roundtrip drive. Due to insurance issues, to determine where my surgery could be scheduled, which required the billing department to discern which location(s) would accept my insurance, I was informed at my appointment that I'd get a call to schedule in a couple days. The wonderful nurse with a fabulous demeanor, that provided all measurements of my eyes, was as sweet, efficient, professional, kind, and courteous as anyone could expect. I cannot pause her service enough. Three business days later, I contacted the Collegeville office, after reaching the voicemail at every other location. When the person who answered the phone was unpleasant, and quick to say "someone will call you in a few weeks", by recognizing her voice and tone, I knew she was the same receptionist who abrasively asked why I was taking pictures outside of the office, and in the reception area thereafter. Her tone was accusatory of doing something deeply wrong, and rude. Why she confronted me in a manner about taking photos, and had so much difficulty when I explained to her that Waze, the app utilized to provide directions, had no photos of the location, and that I also use the photos for reviews, she continued to question me, before abruptly sliding the glass window, as I tried to clarify from my seat. If not for the frontline staff, consisting of receptionists and schedulers, Dr. Clark has corrected these problematic issues There are few physicians I've ever encountered that are finer in the Ophthalmology field akin to Dr. Clark!

I'm on my last pair of contact lenses and do not have current eyeglasses and they told me they "don't do" sample pairs and couldn't help me get a limited prescription to get me through to December (the only office I've ever dealt with in my life who has refused this). I'm totally blind without contacts, and I guess I'm supposed to just be blind and unable to drive or work until December when they can see me, ha. When I made a comment about how much it stinks to be born vision impaired (capitalism at its finest, you have to pay to see!) the receptionist LAUGHED. So I guess the receptionist of this office thinks being disabled is a joke. Steer very clear. The next office I called in Phoenixville was immediately accommodating and made arrangements to see me this week.

Once back, you can easily wait up to another hour to see the doctor, it does not take that long for the dilating drops that the girls put in to work. They actually have a dilating room which had 4 people in it the last time I was there. Every patient there has a story of having to wait for unreasonable amounts of time to see the doctor. They seem to schedule a patient every 10 minutes but you appointment takes far longer than that. The ladies at the front desk would benefit from some customer service training, bc they do not interact very friendly with the patients. This office is getting 1 star bc the doctor is competent and the back office staff is friendly. Unfortunately, I don't recommend going to this office unless your insurance gives you no other option.

Dr. Clark and his medical staff, the fabulous individuals you are fortunate to see, once you leave the receptionist area. Dr. Clark and his staff of nurses and residents are phenomenal. They are consistently extraordinary, which I attribute to the exceptional leadership, rapport, and fine character of Dr. Clark. Sometimes, there's a disconnect between those who are supposed to schedule, return calls, and cordially welcome you at the reception desk. He's not only a brilliant doctor and surgeon, but an artist at the top of his craft. Far too often, when you call any of the office locations, the call will go to voicemail. Dr. Clark has worked vigorously to correct this, as if it was his own family member experiencing an issue. My recommendation, if the scheduling staff does not return your call, do not wait more than two (2) business days. Call multiple times, state when you left a message, and ask again for the courtesy of a call back. If you're complacent, you may needlessly wait for a return call. Sadly, the scheduling staff, too often, operate with no sense of urgency, nor consideration. Note, the receptionist at this location, is the lone exception to an entire staff that is cordial, and nice. My sole mixed experience, by far, is limited to the practice's Collegeville office, where the medical staff is phenomenal, thorough, empathetic, and personable. However, the lone receptionist can be belligerent, and doesn't realize that a receptionist represents the initial impression of any business, as the person "behind the front desk" is the first person a patient, client, guest, or customer interacts with. The wonderful nurse with a fabulous demeanor, that provided all measurements of my eyes, was as sweet, efficient, professional, kind, and courteous as anyone could expect. I cannot praise her service enough. This practice affords patients the latest technology for examining your eyes; it's truly amazing. The consistent service that the highly professional, and cordial medical staff utilizes to provide the most effective, and efficient care is exceptional. There are few physicians I've ever encountered that are finer in the Ophthalmology field akin to Dr. Clark! He has compassion, empathy, and remarkable communication, and people skills. With this combination of knowledge, experience, skills, and personality traits. I highly recommend Dr. Clark.

They were over an hour behind with appointments the day of my procedure. Patients were backed up out the door waiting to be checked in. Very limited space in the waiting room for seating and some people opted to wait outside because there were no available seats. Other patients that came in after me were seen before me and the office had the audacity to call my home and say I missed my appointment when I was sitting in the the waiting room for over an hour. The receptionist even discussed why a patient was there in front of the other patients. The Doctor previously told me the procedure I needed takes less then a minute and I feel my time was wasted. Needless to say I left without being seen for my procedure. I will never go back or recommend them to anyone. Save your copay and go where your time and you, as a patient are valued.
