My experience at Greensboro Ophthalmology was wonderful. From the moment I stepped into the…read morebuilding (which is a large, standalone building), I was met with excellent service. The ladies at the front desk had me checked in within record time. Because I had already completed my paperwork, things went smoothly. I was then ushered to a large, lovely seating area, where many other patients were waiting. The office is massive, containing several doctors, as well as a vision center to pick out eyewear and procedure rooms. My technician and doctor were absolutely wonderful. Initially, the tech took a thorough history and did some tests. She was very pleasant, moved with intention, but not rushed. She was communicative, but not chatty (IYKYK), and had me very impressed. I was well-handled and wondered what was left for anyone else to do. Lol When the doctor arrived, he was even more thorough than the technician. He double-checked her work, then began a discussion with me about my eyes and their health. He did some more evaluation and put me at ease. I remember thinking, "This place is amazing!" At the end, he gave me advice and then said, "That's it," with the most amazingly warm smile I had seen in a while. It was genuine and read like he really enjoyed his job. I mean, WOW. That did it for me, folks. I had already been impressed by the place, but the smile sold me on GO. I am a patient for life! Greensboro Ophthalmology is officially Kiesha Speech approved. If you have some eye care needs, go check them out. Let me know how your experience is.

I recently stopped by Carolina Eye for a routine checkup as a new patient. Upon entering, I was…read moredirected to write my name on a paper & I would be called to the front desk shortly. After 2-3 minutes, I was called & then asked to sit down again so my insurance could be confirmed. It was eventually confirmed, and though my appointment time was at 10:40 and I arrived at 10:30, I was finally called back for intake about 30 minutes after my arrival. A young woman performed some initial tests & asked me a few questions. She checked my eyes and then led me to a waiting area where I waited for what felt like a VERY long time. I was brought back to a room by another young woman who ran a couple more tests, then led me to a different waiting area. I waited there for probably 20 minutes. Then I finally got to see the doctor, over an hour and 20 minutes after my appointment time. The doctor was helpful and gave me some suggestions about my contact options and information about my eye health. I feel her quality of care was very thorough. However, I was left waiting for 10 minutes or so for her to return after asking me to put in a new pair of contacts. When it was time to leave, I was asked to sit in the waiting area so I could be called to the front desk to pay. It's clear this clinic is understaffed for the amount of clients they have. However, I will return next year for my next eye exam since they take my insurance and they're not far from my home.

Medicare patients BEWARE!!!…read more When the person from Groat called me to schedule an appointment, (I never contacted THEM) I told them I had a perfect experience with Oscar Oglethorpe over a year earlier who assured me medicare would pay for everything in terms of my eye exam and it was true, medicare did. The person who set me appointment with Groat assured me that Medicare would pay for everything. I asked are you sure? They said "absolutely." So I went along with it. When I showed up for the appointment I asked the receptionist, "Will Medicare pay for everything?" I was told yes they would. When I saw the first person in the exam room I said, "Don't do anything Medicare won't pay for." Then a few weeks later I get a bill from Groat for $166.00!! To top it off the prescription wasn't complete so I couldn't use it to get glasses! Very untrustworthy!

I have noticed a wait, but I also notice it seems the length of our appointments vary as to how much they have to check "does 1 or 2 look better". So I kind of figured that is why there is a wait. When I do have questions, he answers them respectfully. Over the years I've had to call several times to get copies of prescriptions and no issues from the front desk in getting that. I haven't had any scheduling issues. I don't use the eye center next to their office, so I can't speak to how they are.

Every site I have reviewed this dr has received NO MORE than 2.5 stars. After several years of…read moreseeing this doctor whom is completely NON VERBAL, I found out why. Like many other patients he told me "GET OUT! I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY" This is only after I returned a year ago for a service he did NOT render. The initial reason I left, was bc he diagnosed my child with an eye disease and when l asked questions about it, he wrote down the name and told me "Google It" it was at that point I started going to UNC. Well, last year I went back to Dr Spencer for a service he did NOT render. I made an appointment with Dr Spencer for a contact prescription and I was very specific. My son wore contacts in, it wasn't until I went to fill the prescription that I was told it was for glasses. This year, I made another appointment specifying once again CONTACTS because the last was incorrect. The day of the appointment of course he walks in and doesn't speak, starts the exam, mumbling. I allow him to do what he needs and how, he is the doctor. I did mention, this is for a contact exam. He then became a bit rude. Stressing the $75 Medicaid would NOT cover I responded that is fine. He then went on to tell me Medicaid will NOT pay for his contacts! YOU will have to figure that out. Ok, l responded. He then tells my son to go sit next to me and says.. YOU will pay $75 and go to MY people across the hall and be fitted.. then you will come back to me 2 more visits, I will check his eyes again.. at that point I will decide whether or not "|" will write a prescription. I asked if this is not his first pair and he has been wearing them for several years now, why is he being treated as a first time lens wearer. He then asked where I got the first prescription and I advised UNC and he asked abt the others, I responded UNC..he asked where l purchased my lenses and I told him...l then asked, with this procedure, how long does the actual process take before he will receive his lenses and the DOCTOR MICHAEL ANTONIO SPENCER responded "As long as it does" | asked again is it days? Weeks? He then goes on a rampage about how he doesn't have anything to do with contacts..... l added however, you are sending me to a place you said was the only place i could go. He then says to me, the man that never speaks, yet, in front of my child can yell "GET OUT! I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY!" And he stormed out of the office standing outside of the door pouting. What a tantrum to throw because he feels he takes every insurance so he can speak to parents in front of their children that way or even act so strangely. This is NOT a safe place for children! Or parents. If this man can throw out another patient that was disabled WITH a dog. I would really think again
