Every single time we called, we confirmed that this office accepts Medicaid. They repeatedly told us they did. We were also instructed to call back on the first of every month to try to get an appointment. We did exactly that--twice--with no appointment available. Then we were told to call back on the 8th. Today we set aside time once again, called as instructed, and were suddenly told they don't accept Medicaid at all. This is after months of being assured they did. It's extremely frustrating, a complete waste of time, and unacceptable for a provider that is still listed on the Medicaid provider list. I have documentation showing they previously confirmed Medicaid acceptance, so this isn't a misunderstanding. I will not be recommending this office to anyone in the Tallahassee area, and I will also be notifying Medicaid so they can be removed from the provider list.

Considering I've been going to the same practice for the last 20+ years, I think Big Bend Family…read moreEye Care did pretty well attending me on my first visit. First and foremost, they took my insurance, well my prior vision insurance (as my company now changed insurance this year, but that's another conversation for another day), and that in itself is a godsend. There weren't a lot of practices taking my insurance. Then, there's the caveat that the ones that were weren't taking new patients, and if they were, it was quite some time ahead. Big Bend managed to get me in within a couple of weeks for my annual check-up. That said, finding this place was a little difficult as the GPS did not want to cooperate. Luckily there are big signs outside that are easy to see. Everyone at the office was really nice, but more impressive still is the fact that I did not have my pupils dilated given all the new technology they have. I walked out of there with my prescription for both glasses and contacts sans problem. They even recommended a LASIK place to me. Overall, I liked my experience there. Dr. Malone was personal and professional, and she just made me feel at ease. Here's hoping my new vision insurance is taken by them when the time comes. I don't want to go through the ordeal of finding another eye doctor in Tallahassee.

I want to write an honest review that doesn't sound like I'm lashing out -- but I am frustrated. I…read morefeel like any time I bring up a concern, my doctor seems offended or dismissive, and that makes it hard to speak up. I'm a computer programmer and stare at screens all day. I get frequent headaches and often feel like I'm straining just to see text clearly. During eye exams, when I say that none of the lens options look sharp, she still chooses the one that's closest to my old prescription -- saying she doesn't want to "make my eyes worse" by increasing it. But if I'm constantly straining to see, doesn't that make things worse too? I've had a lower-strength prescription in the past that gave me better clarity than what I have now. perhaps the eye straining is what is making it worse. but to her, she says it's still the same. I don't want to ignore her advice, but I also don't want to keep walking away from appointments feeling like I'm not being heard, and again needing to strain my eyes until next year where the same thing happens all over again. I'm considering seeing another doctor just to get a second opinion.

They determined that I had cataracts in both eyes, the doctor explained to me what that meant and didn't pressure me to make a decision on scheduling a consult with the surgeon.

Both times there was zero communication about the wait time.

I don't typically leave reviews, positive or negative. My experience at Hatchers was so poor, I…read morehave decided to share one here. Had an eye exam to update my glasses and contact prescription back in November 2025. Exam went fine, doctor was knowledgeable and friendly. It only went downhill from there. Once I went out front to order a free trial of contacts, I was told they would come in 2-4 weeks and I would be contacted when they arrived. Four weeks go by, no contact, no big deal yet, I reach out, he says they will check on it and call me back with an update. One week later, no call back with an update. Wait another week. Still no call back. I call again. Claims he does not know what happened, will order more. I wait another 4 weeks, no contact from Hatchers. I call back, am told that he does not know what is going on, will check with the vendor and order another pair. I make him promise to call me back within 3 days to give me an update on the situation as I am getting frustrated in this repeat situation, which he agrees to do. Waited three days, no call back. Waited a full week. No call back. It has now been several months since I ordered a free contact trial. I decided to go in to the store in person sometime in March or April to try and sort it out in person. I talk with the man at the counter again explaining that I am very frustrated with the situation. He says that the pair ordered should be coming, but can provide no information regarding its shipping status. He says he will order me another free pair for my troubles. At this point, I have no idea how many pairs have been ordered. Five maybe? and yet none have arrived. I wait another several weeks in hopes that it has actually been taken care of this time. Nothing. I don't know why it took me so long to give up and move on but I finally went to the store today, one last time, to see if my contacts had arrived. If not, I was going to cancel my order and move on in hopes I did not waste my ability to get a free pair of contacts through my insurance. In the store there are two people in front of me "in line". I wait patiently for my turn. My presence was never acknowledged as I waited for 30+ minutes for assistance. As I wait, and watch him serve the other customers, he is able to multitask and take numerous phone calls, but he is unable to even ask what I am in for as he is working on the computer to help other clients. It just makes me feel like I would get better customer service as a call in than a walk in. However, I can't accomplish anything calling in either. He finally gets to me, and has to search the computer for 10 minutes just to figure my situation out. I don't understand why it takes 10 minutes to figure out if something has arrived or not, especially with the history that we have established at this point of ordering pair upon pair of contacts. He goes and searches for my contacts and finds two pairs. He then stated that he was waiting until my box of contacts had come in before contacting me. AT NO POINT did I ever order a box of contacts! In what world does it make sense for me to order a box of contacts in which I have not even received the trial pair for, on a new prescription and a new type of contacts. Let alone the fact that every conversation I had with him was about receiving my trial pair. This is point that the vibe shifted from feeling incompetent to shady. For all I know my contacts may have been sitting there in the office for weeks or months. The previous time I went in, he did not physically check anywhere to see if my contacts had arrived. Just fumbled around on the computer for 10-15 minutes stating he did not know what was going on. It took over 6 months to receive my contacts! 6 MONTHS! And at NO point did anyone make a proactive effort to inform me of what was going on or that they would be coming soon, or why they were delayed or anything. Every step of the process was like pulling teeth to get information and actually get my contacts. Shame on me for waiting so long to go eleswhere. At best, everything after the eye exam portion was utterly incompetent, at worst it was knowingly deceptive or shady. I will not be returning.

I was greeted by the very kind Raphael, who had me sign a quick waiver before kindly adjusting both pairs for free. He even replaced the nose pads on both glasses, and the frame of the glasses! The difference was immediate, my headache from that very day disappeared soon after I put them back on as he was done. Truly amazing service. I only wish I had gone to Stanton Optical from the start!

Only getting one star because you have to choose. Everything about this experience, staff and…read moreestablishment is horrifying! The worst experience of my life! The staff in the eye department are not professional or capable of performing anything related to eyes. They book 3 people for a time slot which is 15 minutes and don't bother to tell you that. They are nowhere close to being on time - be prepared to wait an hour if you are brave enough to even schedule an appointment. They are NOT cleaning equipment between patients - it is gross, nasty and should be shut down by the health department. I would not come here again if they were the only people in town offering exams and/or glasses. Even if you have kids and don't want to pay a lot - go elsewhere - pay the $$$ - it is a much safer option for sure. Additionally we had an appointment the day before and were also NOT informed the doctor left at 5pm - we were going to be given an exam by an insufficiently trained "tech" and had to come back the next day. Is that even legal? YIKES!!! People - don't go there - ever!
