It took two weeks and many phone calls to have Envision correctly give the referral. They also tried to overcharge me on my copay, which makes me wonder if they try that with everyone.

They resolved my problem with personal attention and quick turnaround. The cost was so modest that I feel I can't quite write it here.

I've been going to Spector eye care for the last several years. Dr. Schantz, my Dr. at Spector has…read morebeen great , thorough , attentive and totally professional. Ho hum visits, just the way I like them. Change glasses and contact lens prescriptions periodically, in and out of office with nothing much to think or worry about. Several weeks back she told me I needed to have a cataract taken out and steered me to Dr. Spector. Well eyes being my second favorite body part, I was petrified to consider an eye surgery. Simply put Dr. Spector is amazing ( that coming from a perpetual cynic). Not only was he patient explaining my need for treatment , he gave me several alternatives. Laser surgery being the one I opted for. Surgery was not only painless, he was thorough, professional and just plain great. My follow up the next day solidified in my mind that he really cares about his patients and their well being. Hoping anyone reading this does NOT need eye surgery but if you should, I highly recommend Dr. Spector for surgery and any of his colleagues for basic eye care. Richard B.

Dr. Spector is extremely knowledgeable, even beyond the subjects of optometry! I was amazed about…read morehow he was able to run an entire office by himself, and still give the same level of attentiveness to his patients. Throughout my appointment, we had a really good conversation going, about all sorts of topics. Ask him anything about your eyes, and he can really give you the scientific and medical explanations you're looking for. Contact lenses can be received only a few days after you order them, which is a major plus. Now to my complaint -- I severely feel that I was overcharged for my contact lens appointment + 1-year lens supply. Twice I have gone to Dr. Spector, and twice I was shocked by the costs. I have previously gone to eye doctors before under the same insurance policy, ordering the same brand of lenses, and never has it been this high ($230)! When I got home and expressed my disbelief at the cost, I had realized that I paid and wasn't even given a receipt. My boyfriend suggested that I do get an itemized receipt to make sure that the doctor wasn't just pulling numbers of out thin air, so I did exactly that when I went to pick up my contact lenses. Then, Dr. Spector went to seemingly great lengths to fabricate a receipt for me. He did quite a few calculations simply to write down 2 numbers on this little piece of paper to describe the breakdown between the cost of the appointment vs. the lenses. Then he said, "Oh wait, you have insurance, so that's not quite right..." and re-did his calculations, but of course, magically the 2 new numbers he wrote down still added to $230. Mind you, he took no time at all figuring out the cost of $230 when he was charging me, so I have grave suspicions that there's shenanigans in the pricing.

I'd…read morerecommend this spot to anyone but definitely make an appointment way in advance; I had to wait many weeks for an appointment. Dr. Hochberg was personable and professional. He walked through what he was doing and explained why he was testing certain things. He was comprehensive and offered some tips that I hadn't heard of before. Christine, who I believe is new to the practice, was truly awesome and helping me pick out frames. She picked up on what I was leaning toward and ended up picking out some frames I would not have noticed. She made the process fun. Dr. Hochberg mentioned that Cigna is good insurance when working with them. That being said, my glasses still ended up being more expensive than I was anticipating, so I could only buy one pair in this visit, which was a little bit of a bummer.

But Dr. Liu is great and very informative and straightforward, and I feel confident in his ability to diagnose and treat any conditions you may have. The waiting time is quite extensive and that is the one downfall, for a checkup, you're probably there for well over an hour.

She explained it so that I was not so worried. She did an excellent eye exam and, rather than giving me glasses right away had me come back for a followup exam to make sure the medication was out of my system and that my eyes had stopped changing. We discussed the amount of correction (something I have never had anyone willing to do before) and I chose not to be corrected all the way to 20/20 so that I would not need bifocals to see my dashboard when I drive. My eye exam was on 6/18 and my I picked up my glasses on 6/21. To my delight they are perfect. Having been given incorrect lenses before, I was pleased that there will be no need to return for corrections, or complaints. I can't recommend Dr. Dao highly enough. As someone who works in a field related to vision I am extremely impressed with the service I received from her and from the Eye Care Group.
