I scheduled my appointment for next year with the lady at the appointment desk like I do all the time with no problems. A few days back, i just received a simple text saying my appointment was canceled for 2027. No explanations given, just a cold not canceling me. For a 70 plus year old patient this is just a lack of respect. I guess I can take my business some other place.

To make matters worse, the message indicated that my account, which they had never billed, would be sent to collections if it wasn't promptly paid. When I called up to enquire, the billing department was not apologetic about the extra amount, just said they were having billing issues and didn't apologize for sending out threatening notices for billings they never made.

I was hoping to be able to look around and see their selection before making an appointment. It looked like they probably keep their merchandise in the back. All I could see was the waiting room. It was very dark in there and honestly just gave me a very bad vibe. Everyone looked so sick. If I didn't know, I would think it was a doctor's office. I would have been so upset if I had made an appointment and had to go through that experience in there. I literally ran down the stairs back to my car. Awful atmosphere and environment. I feel bad for the staff having to work in there.

When he had some changes in his vision, I phoned their office on 3/7/22 and explained that he would like someone to take a look at his eye (at his annual appointment he had been told to let them know if he noticed any change). After some time on hold, I was told that there was no available time until August and to just buy some Refresh eyedrops and use them twice a day. Well, we found another ophthalmologist who saw him later that week, identified wet macular degeneration and sent him to a Retina Specialist. He will not be returning to Mccoy Vision.

I am disgusted with this center and I suggest you explore more options before going here, Today (Jan 2022) I went to another Ophthalmologist and had my other eye done in his center and it cost me a $25 copay.

Please, For the safety and health of your eyes, DO NOT GO HERE. I came to Dr. Saunders after moving…read moreto alabama to get a 3 month post surgery check up on my left eye from a retinal detachment. He informed me while I was visiting that my left eye had a unstable retinal detachment that would need laser surgery and that my Right eye ( MY ONE AND ONLY HEALTHY EYE) was displaying signs of spreading atypical lattice degeneration and would need laser procedures as well. I went to family doctor to verify this diagnosis and that doctor informed me that my right eye was fine, and he could not see any lattice. He also informed me that my left eye was stable and should not be messed with. I went back to Dr. Saunders for another three month consult and he informed me that the lattice in my right eye had spread and that I had developed a tear in that eye and expedient laser surgery was of the utmost necessity as soon as possible. He went on to say that he would not have me wait even 3 more months to see if it had spread because doing so might end in the necessity of vitrectomy surgery with oil placement as had been done in my left eye. I was rightly terrified, and so I went again for a second opinion and was informed by that doctor that not only was my right eye completely healthy and showed NO SIGN of ANY DAMAGE, but that that doctor regularly received patients requesting a second opinion after receiving a diagnosis of retinal tearing from Dr. Saunders, and the doctor found that no tearing existed I have a history of damage in my left eye, and have had 5 surgeries as a result. From experience, I can tell you that my eyes have a propensity to scar after laser surgery. Scaring often CAUSES retinal detachments. Had I followed through with his treatment recommendations, I could have actually precipitated a retinal detachment where none had been. PLEASE for your own sight and eye health, DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR! and if going to this doctor is a necessity, PLEASE get a second opinion before undergoing any treatment. Thank you for your time.
