    About a week ago I started having trouble with my right eye so I called the Wilmington eye surgery…read moreplace to leave a message was not able to leave one because the AI bot system they use would not put me through to triage!! I called back Monday was told they would call me back they never did finally reached my eye dr in wilmington eye mart and got checked today as it turned out i had infection in my right eye because the triage team there did not give me enough drops . I apparently had not healed up completely so my eye dr gave me drops which we had to fork out money for them at our drug store!!!!! Their system is broken and relies totally on AI to help people.

    FIRST: A huge frustration is they don't answer the phone…read more You call and leave messages but they don't return your call. I literally had to stop into one of the locations so I could make an appointment, which should have been a red flag for me. MISS: I had my eyes checked at W/E early 2025 and was given a new prescription for glasses. I only saw the Dr for 5 seconds so he could tell me I needed cataract surgery, everything else was done by a young apathetic technician. I had the glasses made at Costco and they immediately felt wrong. Costco rechecked them said they were to the prescription and sent me back to W/E. W/E checked that the glasses were to the prescription, had a recheck eye test done and said they were correct and I had to get used to them. Tried and tried as I might, I gave up trying to wear the new glasses after extended periods of feeling like I was disoriented in a house of mirrors and went back to the old ones. This year, 2026, I went to my previous place and had my eyes checked and my prescription this year was similar to the last one they did in 2024. I told them I went to W/E last year, 2025, and I was not able to use the glasses. They told me the script from W/E was wrong. I sent all the documents and receipts and copies of prescriptions from the last 3 years to W/E to ask for reimbursement since they gave me the wrong prescription and I can't use the glasses but they declined saying they stand by their erroneous eye exam. Also, during my current eye exam I inquired about the state of the cataracts that were supposedly such an emergency and was told there was no need to have any surgery since they aren't advanced enough for removal. HIT: I did have eyelid surgery to fix my peripheral vision at their surgical center which was not seamless but a better experience than the optical side of the business. They had a difficult time starting the IV and an anesthesiologist had to come out after I requested a Dr to put it in since 4 attempts by the nurses were unsuccessful and I was losing my patience after 3 attempts in my hands. The surgery was fine, I had some concerning issues a few days later and getting through on the phone, and through the endless phone chain, is awful and you still have to leave a message even on the after hours surgery line and wait for someone to call back. I had to have an additional revision in the office after some healing time but that was smooth and now that everything is healed. W/E does not call to see how you are doing after surgery. I have had several outpatient surgeries in the past and the doctors' offices called and followed up several times post surgery before the first post surgical visit. At W/E you feel like you are discharged and on your own with no safety net. BOTTOM LINE: I am not a fan. I told the head of the optical department I would never come back. I will stick to my current eyeglass provider and when/if the time comes for cataract surgery, I will find a place where I feel like a priority.

    Dr Griffin and her team are amazing and I have been so happy with all of the services I have…read morereceived. The team is friendly and always accommodating. Noelle and Shelly are personable and always make me feel like I am their only client! Dr Griffin takes her time to explain everything and the outcomes have been transformational!

    It is my understanding that this practice was well esteemed under the former providers. However, I…read morefollowed Dr. Griffin over from her former practice and have been tremendously disappointed. While her personality isn't the warmest or engaging, I can deal with that as long as I am getting my needs addressed. When I switched to Tidal Wellness, I was told that the monthly fee would include having access to the doctor and administration via text or phone after hours. This was especially appealing since the main office phone rarely worked or was answered. This is definitely not as advertised. While you can text, it does not mean you will get a response. And I cannot count how many times the office phone was not functioning. Between the inability to get in touch with staff and the dirty exam table paper that still had the prior patient's imprints on it, I was a bit shocked. In addition, if you believe masks are important during a pandemic (as literally every other medical provider I have been to does), you may want to reconsider. I have never seen the doctor wear one, and her staff are hit or miss (they usually only put one on if you do). However, I continued to give the benefit of the doubt and attributed this to being overwhelmed with the start of a new business. Also, I really did not feel like starting over with someone new, so I continued. I am very active in my medical care and I believe it is important to be proactive. I ask questions and make sure I understand. The final straw came when I requested some simple labs be run. Dr Griffin obliged. However when I get the labs back, only a portion of them were run, but she had added on labs that were unnecessary. I realize I am not a doctor, but because I was the one requesting the labs and it wasn't due to actual symptoms occurring, there was Absolutely no medical basis for her to run these labs. A sidenote... My rheumatologist had run these exact special labs less than 30 days prior and they were completely fine. Now I am trying to battle with my insurance company to get them to pay for the same labs that were done in such a short period of time. There is the potential that I may be stuck with this bill. I have attempted numerous times to reach out to Dr Griffin to professionally and politely discuss this issue. She has avoided me. I stopped in to make an appointment and spoke with Nick. He scheduled me for a Telehealth appointment but then never put it in the system. When I called at the time of my appointment, he admitted his error, but then he responded with " that happens sometimes." Neither he nor Dr Griffin showed any real interest in trying to resolve this situation. I am not one to leave reviews; however, when a patient is paying money out of pocket for services, they should be aware of what they are receiving. And when we are talking about health...we deserve better as patients. I will happily pay the monthly fee for the remainder of this month and for next month. Based on my experiences going into the office, it is clear to me that tidal wellness needs it more than I do. The professionalism of this office is grossly suspect. I would caution anyone to do their research and be very careful when choosing whether or not to make this practice your point of contact for medical care. My recommendation for Dr. Griffin is that she spend some time training on office management. While she may have medical training, business management is clearly lacking. When you choose to run a business, you are choosing all of it.
