My son ended up with metal fragments in his left eye on Tuesday. We were able to seen in your west…read morehartford office on wednesday. After all the check ins we were seen by a dr. very quickly they entered his eye with medical tools without much communication regarding what would be happening in those moments. It was FAST. Only some of the fragments were able to with what seemed like some ease. The dr we had needed to then dig around deeper under a different layer in the eye which he stated while as he was pursuing the remaining pieces in the deeper layer. My son felt this and communicated the pain notably to the dr. Unfortunately my son suffers from Vaso Vago Syncope, which we both said at that time and became very light headed lost all his color and stated he felt he was going to pass out. A break was taken and an additional attempt was made to dig deeper shortly after but without success. We were wrapped up pretty quickly from there and told that he would could experience some pain following the wearing off of the numbing drops. We did ask for an additional drop so we could make it home without pain. This was administered because my son stated he was already in that pain. The drop was applied and ointment/sav of antibiotics was given along with an eye patch. A follow up procedure was booked for Friday, two days later, which we haven't attended just yet, its tomorrow. However, my son has deteriorated since then (today is Thursday) he cannot have a single shred of light hit his good eye OR his bad eye. Light to the good eye shoots off pain to the bad eye and it's entire socket. Today we had to complete HIPAA paperwork over text before I could assist him by communicating on his behalf. He did this, barely 5 documents, couldn't see. We attempted together to both speak to a nurse or one of the Dr's there to attempt to communicate all that is being experienced and the pain that he is in at this stage (the night and day after initial procedure - so Thursday). IT IS SHOCKING to spend an entire morning of calling and not being put through to an actual medical professional. Not a staffer at the desk....a nurse or a dr. We were told refutably and undeniably that we would not be able to speak to anyone out side of the people answering the phones in the office at the front desk, that "maybe the Dr would see their messages but it doesn't guarantee a call to us". So we are still waiting for this which doesn't appear to be forthcoming. In the meantime he's deteriorating even more and needed something for pain at this point. Called them again and this time asked for something for pain however we were met with "oh, we don't give pain medication to our patients, the drs are not allowed to prescribe this. We will have to send out a request form to your PCP and you will have to follow up with them". At this point I had to cancel the rest of my clients and drive down to the PCP's office to check out if they sent the form. The staff at our PCP's office seemed to reel in their heads while they themselves were trying to understand how a surgical eye center could perform such and intensive procedure in an office there without being able to support potential repercussions of such procedure without having ability to provide an RX for pain? They gave an RX for antibiotic? The form did ultimately get received and our PCP gave our son something to help ease his pain but what in Gods name is happening here? You can knowingly leave a patient in this position and call it game? I tried to call again to the eye drs. once more a few minutes prior to sharing this information. I wanted to see if now that we have a completed HIPAA if could please speak to a nurse about his current condition or a dr. I was told "NO" "unfortunately, no. We do not have the ability to allow you speak to anyone, there is no one that can do this for you. You do have your appointment in the morning tomorrow here and you can opt to not come but if you do that WE ARE NOT LIABLE so you know, it would be on you" So here we are. In a basement. No communication, no help, no service. Only help from our own PCP who can do nothing more for us. I am not the type AT ALL but a visit to a lawyer will be forthcomin

Dr. Melissa Lambright, OD, provided me with probably the best Optometry experience of my life…read more Lets start this with a story. I had recently lost my glasses. After exhaustively looking everywhere I ordered a new pair, but had not yet taken delivery of them, when it was time to travel to my parents house for the Christmas holiday. So, I did what I usually do. I traveled only with the contacts I had in my eyes. Lo and behold, I ripped one of my contacts while taking them out on Christmas day. I have a very strong prescription (-6.75) so there was no way I was able to drive back home to the Boston area without having corrected vision. On Dec 26th I must have called every single Optometrist, Eye Center, Walmart Eye store, etc. in the greater Hartford area, to find out that they were either closed, unable or unwilling to help. I had thought it would be easy to just buy a box from someone as I had my prescription in my car (lucky break) but no such luck. On the off chance of success and in desperation I left a message on Sight, LLC's voicemail. Little did I know but this paged Dr. Lambright on her own holiday travels in the Midwest and she called me back. Not only did she arrange for her employees in her store to give me a sample contact lens, but she did it for no charge. I am obviously very grateful to her, and I can't help but recommend her services. If her regular customer service is anywhere near as good as my experience, Sight LLC is definitely worth your visit when you look for new contacts or glasses.

Before scheduling my exam, I specifically asked whether FSA payments were accepted and was told…read moreyes. After completing my exam and ordering glasses, my WEX FSA card was declined. WEX later advised me that the transaction was rejected because of the expense/merchant coding used by the provider. When I contacted the office after calling 3 times, I was told that other customers had experienced similar issues, but no accommodation or solution was offered. Because I could not use my FSA funds as expected, I was forced to cancel my eyeglasses order. I found the experience disappointing and frustrating. Now my insurance has been billed for the eye exam and I have to go find another optical shop that knows how to submit FSA payments. I should not have to pay out of pocket because they have known about this issue and basically lied and said they could handle FSA expenses when they obviously cannot.

He spent quality time answering my questions without rushing me - this is a big deal for me - but even more importantly his answers rang with intelligence & experience & compassionate sincerity. He came up with a solution for an issue I have been having with binocular alignment, and he did it in a way that the two previous eye-doctors with much fancier offices couldn't see. Guess even eye doctors can be blind to some things. An example of the compassionate attitude present in this office: I am considering LASIK and I asked him at the end, "If I was a family member of yours and said 'I want to do LASIK', what would you say to me about the surgery?" He earnestly said: " I consider all family and patients the same, so no need to worry - and I'll tell you..." This attitude was backed up by his receptionist who told me a story of how he had dramatically helped her and seen her free of charge when she didn't have insurance - now she works for him, full-heartedly. Good crew here. Humble office, simple room & everything you need: solid intelligence, experience & good heart.
