This will possibly be the longest review testimonial you've ever encountered, but there is a method…read morein my madness. I invite you to read this more as a lengthy anecdote about everyday miracles achieved by doctors, in this case by Dr. Stephen McConnell, rather than just another review offering up a one-line and very banal platitude. The "miracle" is that before my initial appointment with Dr. McConnell on Nov. 7th I was essentially blind in my left eye. I could distinguish between lightness and darkness and could detect the faint outlines of close-up objects. For 2 1/2 years I simply accepted the fact I'd gone blind in my left eye for good. What had happened was that I awoke one day to find my left eye swollen shut and crimson from irritation. I couldn't immediately get a ride to an emergency health clinic, but after several days I visited one. A doctor saw me for less than a minute, pointing at my left eye declaring that I had an infection, for which she'd call in an Rx for an antibiotic. She never came within 5 feet of me and never examined my eye up close, as one might have expected her to do. And that was, after paying $172, pretty much that. Fast forward to Nov. 7th and my initial visit with Dr. McConnell. In less than 2 minutes, after examining all the photo images the staff had taken shortly after my arrival, Dr. MxConnell found a contact lens in my left eye which had fused to the cornea. He then immediately removed that contact lens with great care and delicacy and I felt nothing but relief. The doctor had miraculously saved my left eye and held out hope for the cornea to heal over time with eventual restoration of vision in my left eye.

But never heard back for about 2 weeks. Then Summer replied to set up a phone call interview, no time frame for the phone interview was scheduled. I gave her my availability for her to pick a day and time she would like to do the phone interview she called me and I missed the call. I immediately called her back and was sent to her voicemail. The next day I messaged her on indeed stating I returned her call and let her a message, no answer for several days. So I came into the office to introduce myself since there was a bit of back and forth and waiting for a reply. I waiting 30 mins before Summer came to speak with me. Now for the interesting part..... I'll tell you. I have never in my life had such an unprofessional interview in my life!!! First of all Summer didn't introduce herself. I was told to come into her office and sit, no eye contact or anything she looked over my resume. And asked about why I left a previous employer and stated I have been to a lot of eye practices, stating that when she sees an applicant that has been to that many offices she assumes that they are a "the problem." I corrected her stating that several of the eye doctors offices were internships from when I was in College for my A.S degree as an Ophthalmic Technician at FSCJ. I informed her that I only worked at 2 Doctors offices and the latest one merged with another practice. Then the interview made a weird turn of her cussing at me and talking about how she does not tolerate drama, and went over the attendance policy. Her words "if you do not have PTO you cannot take off." " I don't tolerate the petty shit. I had taken a long time to get the office to have a certain culture and I'm not going to ruin that on someone like that." She even called her own manager a "bitch" which was super unprofessional. And talked about how her current manager above her doesn't do much and how she has so many responsibilities in her position. Summer also asked me about a former employee I worked with at my former employers office wanting to know why they were terminated and if he's a good employee. Again very unprofessional. And the interview is pertaining to myself not someone else! I felt like I was being scolded by my mother. I have never been cussed out and scolded in an interview or accused to being a job hopper or a problem! I understand every office has an attendance policy and what is not tolerated. But to be scolded and cussed at as if I did something wrong. Yeah no thanks! I've meet many of Coastal visions previous employees that left because of management, and I can see exactly why! Not the kind of place I would want to work at or my friends or family go to.

Furthermore, the doctor supports her fully and called me specifically to ensure I understood that they do not call insurance companies to help clarify issues found on referrals submitted by the practice. They simply wait for the rejected referral and reply to it. I had requested physical therapy based on a script from my surgeon. It was never submitted because the primary receptionist that deals with Tricare was too busy and expected she would get to it in two weeks. Worthless. She is either overloaded with work or lazy, I am not sure which. Dr Carter will dispense medications you need in a timely manner, give you a semi decent exam, explain some of what needs to be done but when it comes to assisting the patient versus her staff, the patient is screwed. Needless to say I have switched doctors where the staff is pleasant and the doctor seems to genuinely care about you and ensures you referrals are submitted no later then the next business day. When my new doctor requested my medical records from doctor Carters practice, they never sent them over. Don't waste your time with this practice, find a quality team that truly cares for you and has the staff to support your needs.
