Our son began wearing glasses at age 6. He began wearing…read morecontacts when he was 10. By age 12 his vision was such that he couldn't use the bathroom in the middle of the night without needing glasses. Having just moved to the Fay area, we needed to establish care with an eye doc. Happened across Eye Medics website and saw this crazy thing about SleepSee lenses. Immediately realized this might be an option for our son to not only help slow down his vision loss, but also help with managing glasses, contacts, and (as he had been swimming competitively since age 5) prescriptive swim goggles. Not yet sure about the lenses, but knew the kiddo needed an annual exam. So made an appointment (receptionist was super friendly!) Dr. S needed one reminder to slow down just a tad with my special needs kiddo. And from then forward he did. He was very patient in answering all of my questions about the pros and cons of SleepSee (Ortho K) lenses. And as the receiver of LASIK 20 years ago, I had a lot! Dr. S explained that the night lenses he specializes with aren't typical. He has invested in special equipment that maps out each eye taking special measurement, and then he reviews the report, makes any adjustments needed, and has the contacts specifically made for each eye. Talked with the husband and came to the conclusion of "how can we NOT do this for our child?" The only downside to the entire process was having to go back for multiple (3 or 4?) short visits to ensure the lenses were fitting properly - not because they weren't, but because Dr. S wanted to ensure they were right. This required our son to miss some school. Fast forward three years. Our son is now 16 and has been wearing Sleep See lenses for around three years. THEY ARE MAGIC! The initial cost is a bit steep, but when you consider the cost of glasses, contacts, goggles . . . over two years, it just about evens out! The huge bonus is the preservation of/slowing down of degradation of sight! After the initial investment, the lenses are far less expensive when they need replacing (about the cost of a pair of glasses). The first set of lenses lasted our son just over two years (just as Dr. S predicted) before one lense snapped in half while my son was cleaning it. The second set of lenses took a few extra days to come in (around the holidays) so Dr. S was was kind enough to provide a disposable soft contact lens when mono-vision was giving headaches. This review would be amiss if I didn't also rave about the receptionist, Rose. The woman must have a photographic memory as she remembers us when we walk in and treats us like great friends with a genuine smile and hello. When I've called to get an appointment or ask a question, she refers to some off-subject something we spoke about long ago. She makes it feel good to walk into the office!

This unprofessional doctor does not meet the needs for single parents of various socioeconomic backgrounds . Facts I'm a single parent of 7 year old twins and a 14 yr old son with no adult supports therefore I don't have the luxury of leaving my kids with someone or getting some one to take them to appointments while I'm occupied with the other child. Now if I have no choice and I was informed in advance then I would have schedule early enough to pick one kid up while leaving the other in school but no signs are posted in office, nonething mentioned when you call the number to office and nonething posted on website that would have prepared me for such a visit. So once I brought my child for an appointment I was told that my other kid could not be brought in the back with the child that was being seen yet I had to be present with the kid that he was seeing in the room. So what am I too do , when I'm already at the appointment . he literally felt it ok to have me sit outside of the room with the door open literally two feet from where he was examining my child . I felt embarrassed . So reviewers of this review, is it best for the client #1 privacy to be violated by keeping door open or his issue with not wanting my other kid in the room with me and my child that he is working with?? Clearly in this case, his interest went before the interest of the child and parent, (((so patient being first clearly is not anything that he honors ))) ((. No signs were posted of his "made up today policy "( the name I gave it)) , none thing mention when you call for appointment, and nonething on the website. my kid was not loud, didn't move from they seat. Now I get kids acting out , breaking things disturbing people peace. My child was tired and sleepy. Next incident happened today ,9-18-24 @1 pm. I knew I should have trust my gut instincts because he is not friendly with me, it's as if he has a problem with single black mothers because when I observe him with others he sounds so kind to them but that's not what I get and yes blacks can discriminate against they own race. But I didn't feel like getting a new doctor and it's not like I got to see his hateful ass often so I went today but I received an work call and had to take it , he tells me don't allow phones in his office. I said fine and walked out to the waiting room area , not mad, just focused on the important call. Not one sign on the wall . Afterwards once my son work was finished he calls me to the back I assume it's about my son BUT AGAIN he makes it about himself and waste my time by telling me again about this law . I stopped him in his tracks to address my son care and he tries to argue with me by Bringing up his rules that were mentioned twice . So again , he ignored my interest only to overexert his authority and and opinions over telling me about my son visit. I HOPE HE IS PROUD OF HIMSELF BECAUSE HE MADE IT ABOUT HIMSELF AND NOT ABOUT MY SON!!! Another point, if the law you claim is a law no one abides by it cause I've never been told that by another doctor. why did you engage in me breaking the law by taking me to a room while my kids were unsupervised to discuss the law you claim I was breaking by me allowing you to offer a service to my child while I was in the wait room with the other child. I have never in my life met such a nasty , rude and disrespectful doctor in my life with such strong narcissistic tendencies. I pity what his staff and wife have to go through and it's unfortunate that she had to lose me as a patient because of her husband lack of compassion . His wife and staff have a beautiful personality and He could really take notes from her and the staff that works under him on how he treats single mothers and to think I gave him a good review last year, he gets no stars and I take back everything I said I the last review and I pray God humbles him for how he treats people that are not doctors.
