Blue Ridge Eye Associates are using deceptive practives to draw customers in with one price and…read morethen charging another without the customers knowledge when they get there. Here is what happened to me today, 28 February, 2023L When I made an appointment by phone for an eye exam two weeks ago, I specifically asked how much it would cost. I was told by the very friendly voice of "Wally" that it would be $189.00 He then asked me if I had Medicare and supplemental insurance. I said yes, and then asked how much of that Medicare would pay. He said 80% if I had met my deductible. I went ahead and made an appointment. I called back a second time and asked Wally to confirm that it would be $189. He confirmed. When I showed up today for the appointment I asked Wally again how much it will be. For a third time he said $189, and I gave him my Medicare and insurance cards. After doing this and before going in for the exam I thought I had better confirm the price one more time because I didn't want to get stuck with a surprise bill. This time he said that it will be $189 "If you pay in cash today" and $249. "if you use Medicare," and you have to pay today $79.00 for "non-payment service." I protested, saying that he didn't tell me all this the two times I talked with him on the phone or when I asked him the first time when I came today for the appointment. He denied everything. This is the typical "Bait and Switch" tactic. I asked to see Dr. Crowder because I wanted to register my complaint with her. She came out and sat down with me, but explained that it was $189. "if I paid cash," but $249. "if I used Medicare." I said I was not told that until just now. It didn't make any difference. I said I would post a review. She asked me if I would report it to Medicare. I said I would. As a taxpayer, I do not believe it is fair to charge one amount for a cash price and a higher price to Medicare. BEWARE! Paul M.

Rosinsky and Franklin are good doctors…read more They know what they are doing, have friendly bed side manners, and diagnose accurately. The only con is I live in Charlottesville, and find getting out there for a contaxts lens exam (40 min roundtrip on just the driving) with a follow up to check the contacts (again, another 4p just on the drive) is too much for a busy mom and business owner. And, i got my eyes dilated, and after 2 years of being a patient they HAD to sign a new waiver that said exaxtly what the old thjng said - payment due, right to privacy - but with dilated eyes you couldnt read anything. After repeating this 3 times to the receptionist she read it it to me (which took 10 min). It could have waited. That was Michelle - she needs a course in the customer experience. The 5 star is for everyone else. I had to schedule up a 10 min follow up appointment for the contact lens check up, and its 2 weeks our or 3 weeks. Thats just frustrating. My eyes are healthy. Just give me my dang contacts. ****update****When i expressed my discontent with the wait time as a long time client, they squeezed me in before a plane trip, which is cool. I spoke with Kelly in the reception who helped make that happen - that woman is a good addition to the office.

This was the 3rd year I have visited Dr. McCormack & she has completed my annual eye exam. I find…read moreher office technicians to be friendly, helpful and very professional when engaging to achieve my pre-exam eye tests. I also appreciate that they are always willing to provide me with the full cost of my visit, when I schedule my appointment. Dr. McCormack is a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable and does a thorough & efficient job with the eye exams she conducts. Dr. McCormack provides prescriptions for my glasses and contacts. In short I highly recommend her services! The ease of getting to her office location , the fact that I have never waited more than 5 minutes at this office and she and her staff are lovely tells the real story. Please get your eyes examined soon!

I chose the Pantops (Peter Jefferson Pkwy) office after discovering that it was much closer to…read morewhere I live. I had already visited other MyEyeDr offices to shop and compare, as I was looking to get a backup pair of prescription sunglasses. I found most of the other offices far more customer-friendly than this one. With the exception of Avory, who was most impressive in her courtesy, professionalism and superb customer service skills, I found the front staff lacking in their approach to customer service. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to work with Avory. However, I continually observed her performance with other customers while I was working with Rashonda. Avory genuinely seemed happy to be working there and always verbally welcomed guests as they entered the office. Other staff appeared to have a perfunctory "just going through the motions" attitude about their work. I am rating this office three stars, rather than only two stars, because everyone seemed to be technically competent in their trade. Thus, if you care only about technical proficiency, then this office is fine. But if you're like me and you want not only technical competence from your eye doctor experience, but a friendly, engaging interaction where you feel welcomed and glad you came, then I don't think the Pantops (Jefferson Parkwy) office is your best option. If you are lucky to work with Avory, then you should walk away feeling very pleased with your experience. Otherwise, with the other front staff, I recommend looking elsewhere. I certainly plan to choose another MyEyeDr office after I pick up my current pair of sunglasses soon! Thank you, Avory, for setting a good role-modeling example for your colleagues. I hope they will heed your example of stellar, professional and friendly customer service!

Something I didn't notice most of the time but there were certain visual situations where I thought my eyes must be going really bad..... and when I came in they did recheck, confirmed the typo, and remade my glasses. But it was weird. And I felt like they regarded me with suspicion and side-eye the whole time and only begrudgingly admitted their mistake. And they talked down to me like it was my fault and told me it really would only make a minor difference, and my vision would get worse anyway!!! It still chaps my ass months later. I really wanted to love this practice. But I'm probably not going back.
