I was effectively dismissed from the practice because of a $45 copay that went unpaid for more than 90 days. When I called to schedule an appointment with my eye doctor, the front desk told me that my account had been sent to collections and that they could not--or would not--schedule me. I was told I was no longer allowed to be seen by the practice. For context, I had been a cash-pay patient for more than 10 years because I did not have health insurance. During that time, I paid thousands of dollars out of pocket for treatment of uveitis, an ongoing eye condition that is causing vision loss in my right eye. When I finally obtained insurance and used it for the first time, no one informed me that I had a $45 copay. The bill went unpaid for over 90 days, and apparently that was enough to have me sent to collections and dismissed as a patient. I contacted the billing department to resolve the issue. They could not tell me which collection agency had the debt, and they would not accept my $45 payment directly. Frustrated, I left $45 cash at the front desk and left. Two months later, while still experiencing a significant flare-up of my condition, I called again to schedule an appointment. I was told I still owed money, that my account had been sent to collections, and that I had been dismissed from the practice. There was no record of the $45 cash payment I had left. I can't help but wonder whether my doctor is aware that a long-time patient with a serious eye condition was turned away over a delinquent $45 copay, that was paid.

While I have had good experiences at this location, today was another story.

Nope, the staff just puts you in a room, shuts the door and that's it. Good luck with your wait time. I went out to check to see if they forgot about me after almost 45 mins or what the excessive delay was and I was told that I need to be respectful. I did not raise my voice or swear. I just inquired about the delay and that this is uncomfortable and frustrating. Don't make it my issue that you cannot treat your patients in a timely manner. I will say their Manager Daniel was a pleasant surprise. He listened, was empathetic and stated that someone should be communicating when there are excessive wait times. His future is bright!

I want to add a full-throated endorsement of Dr. Loftus' abilities and professional manner. I have a long history of being disappointed at the optometrist's because I have a difficult prescription. Even if they get it right, the lenses often come back with issues that make them unusable. This has become especially problematic in the past 15 or so years, with all the new new materials they use to slim down lens thicknesses. I had several visits with Dr. Loftus, both for a new eyeglass prescription and for new contacts. I just received my eyeglasses yesterday and they're PERFECT. It's been a long time since I got good lenses on the first go and I am really enjoying them. Additionally, I'd like to mention that the office staff are competent, efficient and friendly. I opted to bring in my old Dunhill frames for my new lenses. This was not a problem either! The lens makers did a good job - they're not metal frames and could have easily cracked as they're over 30 years old - well... they're just fine too and I am wearing them now. Just like old times. Now I get to look just like I did in the 80s! Well, not really, but I can't blame Dr. Loftus for that. See Dr. Loftus and you will see better!

Dr. A. has a great big heart combined with tremendous expertise and experience. I have a challenging set of eyes. I began developing myopia in the third grade (and I'm 74 now). It got up to 10 1/2 dpt in one eye and 11 dpt in the other. That's a lot of myopia. In the mid-80s an ophthalmologist told me that radial keratotomy was the safest procedure I could have to correct my myopia. I think he told me what he believed to be true but, unfortunately, I ended up with possibly more scar tissue on my cornea than anyone in the world. Scar tissue impairs one's vision because when you're looking through scar tissue things are distorted. It did correct my myopia but the problem then became distorted vision due to scar tissue Arrrrgh. I worked with it because what else can you do? I developed really dark cataracts, which were corrected by Dr. Matt Oliva at Medical Eye Center. Because of other challenges with my eyes, my cataract surgery was more complex than what is typical. I got a very good result. Later I developed macula or myopial degeneration in my left eye. Dr. Oliva referred me to a retinal specialist in Medical Eye Center. I then began receiving what I would call assembly line medicine. They would switch doctors out on me, change my appointments with no warning and, ultimately, one of the technicians refused to use saline solution after I received a shot in my eye for macular degeneration. That did it! I asked friends for referrals, which is how I found my way to Dr. A. All of the referrals recommended Retina Care Center and Dr. A. Every word I was told has proven to be true. I have worked with Dr. A. for almost a year since I left Medical Eye Center because I felt I was not receiving good medical care. I certainly receive outstanding care here with Dr. A. and everyone else I've worked with. I love these folks!!!

I would like to thank Dr. Lisa Leishman and the entire Retina Care Center team for their excellent…read morecare, efficiency, and compassion in handling my husband's retinal detachment. Out of the blue last year he suffered a macula-off retinal detachment because of a tear on the far outer edge of his eye. He had never experienced any vision problems prior to this, so when he started to see extra floaters in his right eye he thought perhaps it was stress-related. About a week later his vision started to get blurry and he was seeing a dark curtain coming in from the corner of his vision. We went to our optometrist who literally immediately sent us to Retina Care Center. It was late afternoon on a Friday (of course!) but the team stayed to receive my husband's case. Both Dr. Leishman and Dr. AufderHeide examined his eye and finally found a tear on the far outer edge. Vitrectomy surgery was scheduled for the following morning and was performed by Dr. Leishman. It was completely unexpected and a scary time for both of us, but the whole RCC team was just so helpful, professional, and positive throughout. His recovery required being face-down for many weeks, and Dr. Leishman made herself available by phone at all hours to answer questions and guide us through all the uncertainty during that time. It turned out my husband needed a second surgery two months after the first one, so our lives were upended for a good six months... but the RCC team is such a well-oiled machine that everything was handled so smoothly with both surgeries at Ashland Hospital and then all the way through what seem like endless follow-up appointments as they kept very close tabs on the healing process. It has been one year since the second surgery and thankfully his eye is holding up well. He now has a much stronger prescription for his glasses, and still sees a few persistent "pepper" floaters, but otherwise he is seeing just fine. We feel SO fortunate that we ended up in Dr. Leishman's care -- and "care" is the operative word, she is very kind and clearly cares about her patients and ensuring the best outcome for them. Thank you, Dr. Leishman, we are eternally grateful to you and your team!

The office informed us that the decision was made after my wife posted an honest review about her experience. I was never given the opportunity to be seen, and my appointment was canceled even though I had done nothing wrong. It was disappointing to have my care affected because a family member shared feedback about her own visit. Canceling an established patient's appointment under these circumstances was frustrating and forced me to start over with another provider, delaying my eye care. I believe patients should be able to leave honest reviews without worrying that they or their family members will lose access to care. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice. Patients deserve to be treated fairly, even when they express concerns or criticism.
