I recently lost part of my vision in my right eye so I went to my Optometrist who got me an…read moreimmediate appointment here. My husband drove me and I was extremely anxious. They saw me as soon as I arrived and dilated my eyes. I had a hole in the retina my left eye and a tear in the retina of the right eye. They gave me clear options about both eyes and I chose to have same day, in office surgery on both. I am not going to lie, having surgery on your eyes while you are awake is awful. I hope you never have to have it but they were compassionate and professional throughout the whole procedure. I kept repeating to myself, they are saving your sight. Because of the tear, I had to position on my left side for 55 minutes out of every hour, 24/7 for they predicted 7 to 8 days. They saw me the next day and three days later. At that appointment Dr. Civantos told me I no longer had to position. I wanted to hug him but I restrained myself. With his timely action, he had saved the vision in my eye. I am sure that taking me in so quickly played havoc with their schedule that day. I am so grateful that they did. I had headaches after the procedure and they listened to me but I did not get any heavy duty drugs. Headaches are not that common and they did go away after about 3 or 4 weeks. I know I am at risk for this happening again so I will continue to happily see Dr. Civantos on a regular basis.

He's a fast talker- definitely not the kind to hold your hand and take his time. But I don't mean that in a bad way. He's kind of like a hummingbird. He knows his stuff, he gets to the point, and he's gone. He's also brutally honest. The whole staff is. I've mentioned wanting new glasses and he's told me he will have the prescription ready to go for me and he "doesn't care" of I buy my glasses there. He seems more interested in taking care of your vision than selling you stuff. He's also told me my prescription didn't change enough for me to NEED new ones but I could get them if I wanted. Phil, the contacts guy (I've only ever spoken to him about contacts) is funny, personable, and again, honest. I have the same prescription in each eye but don't wear contacts regularly. He sold me one box. Just one not a bunch. Not that standard year supply that costs a couple hundred and you must get all 23 boxes in order to be eligible for the $5 rebate. Just one and said based on my use it should last me 6 months. He also sold me a brand of contacts that I've never heard of but after he listened to my comments and concerns knew exactly what to recommend. And he was right. Love my contacts. Staff is friendly and courteous. Never had any billing issues. I bought my frames online and brought them in and they put basic lenses in for me. Again the honesty; the frames lady asked if I wanted regular lenses or "all the extra stuff that just makes them more expensive" lol Okay then. Turn around time was about a week as they had to be sent out. Dr. Fritz was the only one to diagnose my repetitive bouts of pink eye as being related to my seasonal allergies and not poo particles in my ocular cavity. Also, they are not kidding when they tell you to call them when you arrive with pink eye. Call from the car, someone comes out opens all doors and takes you straight to a room. Slightly disconcerting but I appreciate the thoroughness. Means they're doing it with everyone else too. I'd rather wait a week and get knowledgable, honest service than be sold a ton of stuff I don't need just to get my glasses in an hour.

I went to see Dr Hashmi at the recommendation of my optometrist because of a potential serious eye…read moreissue. I spent 25 years in the optical industry so I know a good doctor when I meet one. The staff was not very friendly when I went to check in at the desk, I was made to wait 15 minutes, which for an ophthalmologist office that should be expected. But the technician that took me back for the pretesting was cold, impersonal, and with some of the testing that he did I did not feel very comfortable with the procedures that he used. There is a specialized test called a visual field that needs to be done for the type of issue that I was going in for. It is a specialized machine, he did this lame unprofessional type of test with his finger. The type that your physician does when they are doing a yearly physical on you just to check how your eyes react. When I specifically asked him if they were putting me in the machine to test me he said that he was not going to do a standard visual field test, he said they do not find it that's necessary. It did not give me a very good feeling at that point. When Dr Hashmi came in she flew in like she was in a rush, she introduced herself, when I told her that I was in the field and that she could be blunt with me and explain everything in normal terms and not have to explain it as though I was person did not know anything about the human eye or anything in that industry, she ignored it. When the technician initially did what is called a Goldman tonometry test which checks for glaucoma or rather pressures in the eye that could show up a possible diagnosis of glaucoma, he came up with a high number, when the doctor did the exact same test she came up with a number that was six points lower. The time between the two tests was 10 to 15 minutes. Her result was absolutely nowhere near what both the initial result from my optometrist was and from what the technician got. She had a six-point different result. With glaucoma you do not have a six-point drop in a 15 minute period from the previous test. The doctor spent approximately 7 minutes with me. I did not feel comfortable with her diagnosis when she stated that I was fine and didn't need to worry about anything. At that point I decided that I was going to go for a second opinion, the next practice that I went to was concise, thorough, and the doctor spent almost an hour with me versus 7 minutes. I do not in any way shape or form recommend this office. I also found out after the fact from someone who has worked with this practice that they appear to be "on the shady side". I honestly wish that I had heard that prior to going to this particular practice. I never would have gone.
