This morning at East Bay Ophthalmology I walked in for my scheduled appointment and was asked to…read moregive permission for them to keep a credit or debit card number on file. They told me it was now a requirement of all of their patients. I was there for a follow up exam and not expecting to make financial privacy decisions on the spot. I asked if I could pay the copay see the Dr. and make up my mind after and the answer was no. I didn't even know if it was legal for them to do this. Well, it is. Still I am not willing to leave vital credit info at an establishment where I have been continuously a good customer. Dr Scott Lee performed an extremely delicate surgery on my eye magnificently. My lens was knocked off of its supports upon a bow to my eye. It took 2 years for the pressure the become low enough to do the surgery. Dr. Lee did all of the pre examinations and prescribing as well as replace the lens with a new one. I went from 100% blind to vision again. Dr. Pyun has been my Dr. for a f0ur or five years now and I'm very confident in his abilities. He has an amazing demeanor and is quite thourough. I don't want to switch. I would feel much different if I had been informed ahead of the appointment so I could decide how to do this. There are so many breaches that affect all credit holders and having that kind of information in some server isn't safe. It seems that as a safety measure to insure payment enforcing this technique on patients with a history of non payment and even new patients when they sign up would make sense, but long term patients with an excellent track record and insurance... ? With some thought I've decided to get a debit or prepaid credit card to use for this type of nonsense. I will only transfer into it what is needed for each transaction. I urge East Bay Ophthalmology contact patients with upcoming appointments rather than spring this on them at the counter. I urge all of you who encounter this to follow my lead. It will add a high level of protection to your financial privacy. This encounter put a scar on the high opinion I have of this group. I still believe they are among the best people and facilities in the field. It is my opinion that this was not thought through for the benefit of the patients/customers that rely on these services.

Janet Chan is warm, gentle and exudes kindness. She was able to figure out my exact prescription very efficiently (usually it takes a lot longer) but she seems more competent than the average optometrist in her ability to arrive at the prescription strength for my glasses. Her office staff particularly the girl who helped me locate glass frames were good at finding something I liked. I essentially found a pair of frames that was covered 100 percent by insurance and for the lens, I brought all the bells and whistles including UV protection (transitional lens), glare and scratch resistance, thin lens and the latest reading/distance glasses which added up to 400 dollars and my last pair of glasses was more than a 1000 dollars. Hopefully I will like the final product in a few weeks. So far, I am glad to have found such a great optometrist in my neighborhood thanks to the referral one of my co-workers gave me recently.
