    I was given a new prescription. When I had it filled, my optician commented on what a drastic…read morechange from last time. The minute I put the new glasses on, my eyes felt funny and vision slightly blurred. When I asked for a re-check, it was confirmed that I had been given the wrong prescription and they gave me another one. This time the optician's comment was "This has somebody else's name on it!" I hadn't even noticed that my name was not on the top line! He called the office and they faxed the CORRECT prescription. No one ever reached out to me or offered apologies. The medical staff are fine, but the factory-like atmosphere and indifference to patients has me searching for a new ophthalmologist.

    First off, I do like all of the Doctor's I've seen at Cullom & Farah. I had laser cataract surgery…read moreperformed by Dr. Farah and it was good. The reason for the poor review goes against the Riverside Hospital where the surgery was performed. During preparation for the surgery, the nurses and aides at the Riverside Hospital push you to get a "little" anesthesia for the surgery to ensure that you're comfortable during the procedure. Now, NO ONE from Cullom & Farah's office talked about anesthesia during the surgery and the need for it, but I thought - hey this is the same stuff you get at a Dentist's office so what's the big deal! Months later, after all the bills were paid by my insurance, I was hit by an additional $1,500 bill by Riverside Hospital! Surely, the staff at Collum and Farah should have been aware of what Riverside Hospital was doing and discussed the need or lack of anesthesia before I had the surgeries!

    Very long wait time, with appointment staff changing times, canceling, providing different doctors…read morethan scheduled, and not seeming to know what's going on from one minute to the next. The care quality is up in the air based on who you see, and what their specialty and experience is for that type of care. One time I went in to have my eye photographed by a large machine and the teenage staff members there seems inexperienced and unable to figure out how to use the machine. One young lady was looking at her phone while eating a bag of chips a few feet away while the teenager male kept pulling my head and trying to position it in different ways and eventually had to ask the teenage young lady to put down the chips and help him try to figure out how to photograph my eye. It took them several times to figure it out. Considering that patients go there for very serious, often life-altering medical conditions that can be life-threatening if not treated properly or cause them to lose sight, it's disheartening and depressing to see teenage staff disorganized, disinterested, and seeming to be out of touch with what they need to be doing or how to schedule simple appointments.

    This was my first appointment with Dr. Wagner, and I deeply regret going. Patients in the waiting…read moreroom were sitting for an average of two hours just to be seen for ten to fifteen minutes, which I found unacceptable. Still, I waited patiently for my turn. The nurse who checked me in tested my vision by holding up her fingers and asking me to look in different directions. No machines were used to assess the health or vision of my eyes, even though my optometrist had previously detected high pressure multiple times over the last six months. After numbing my eyes, the doctor came in, briefly examined me, and said my eye pressure was normal at 18 in both eyes (which I was very happy and also my optic nerve was fine). Unexpectedly, the doctor made comments about my weight. I explained that my A1C is perfectly normal and that I am comfortable in my size large clothes. I am a big breasted women so he seemed to assume I was overweight based on appearance alone. I did not come for unsolicited opinions about my body. I came for a medical evaluation of my eyes. I stood up for myself and asked him to stop, but he was loud and dismissive throughout the visit. After the appointment, I was shocked to receive a bill for $358. Other ophthalmologists in the area charge around $175 for a comprehensive exam that includes proper machine testing, like at Virginia Eye Consultants. When I contacted the billing department, I was told the wrong billing code might have been submitted but that it could not be changed because doing so would be considered fraud. However, it seems unethical that an incorrect code benefiting the provider financially was submitted in the first place. That's a fraud! I wrote a letter directly to the doctor and gave it to the practice manager, but she repeatedly ignored my follow-up requests. I do not know if the doctor ever saw it, or simply chose not to respond. I do not recommend this practice due to the excessive wait time, the doctor's poor bedside manner, and questionable billing practices.
