Was told the girl (Jess) had just stepped out and would be back in 5 minutes. Well twenty minutes later Jess shows up. She says that they can replace the lenses but if I want to use my insurance, I would need a new exam. WTF??? So I then decided to pay cash. Well lenses would be $180.00 plus another $120.00 with the add ons. They're freaking plastic lenses. How could a small little piece of plastic be that much money? And why another exam? $$$$ thats why. The entire Florida medical profession is nothing more than a way of sucking every last penny out of their patients. They care nothing about caring or curing, just how much they can over charge for little to no service.

They take a look at the bill and told me that Center For Sight make the bill payment with Humana Medical insurance (instead of Humana Vision Insurance), and that I should go to the Center For Sight office to make Adjustment and CFS should make bill payment thru "Humana Vision Insurance" and Humana give me the "Humana Vision Insurance member ID #" I come to CFS office and give them the "Humana Vision Insurance member ID #". However, CFS told me that they have to make bill payment thru "medical insurance" because the doctor found something related medical and they can not make bill payment thru "Vision Insurance". I told the CFS office that the eye doctor found that my eyes are perfectly normal after the exam. The CFS declines to make adjustment and that I have to pay the bill as it is. The issue with CFS is that the doctor performs routine eyes exam, and they make bill payment thru Medical Insurance (instead of Vision Insurance).

She let me come in as a walk-in, and after waiting about 70 minutes, Tad came out and saw me. Wow, this guy is a legend; they truly don't make them like this anymore, do they? He is extremely professional and thorough. When people talk about customer service in the good old days, this is what they are referring to. The people in this city have no idea how lucky they are to have someone like him. In most cities, it is almost impossible to find this kind of service.

After I had the 2nd cataract surgery and obtained a new prescription, I took 2 pairs of my glasses to have the lens replaced. This store had replaced the lens in these 2 pairs in 2023. One pair doesn't have a frame. One of the arms had become detached. I asked the woman who was helping me if the arm could be reattached, and if they could replace the lenses with the new script as they did last year. She had to consult with her manager. After 5 or so minutes, the manager came out from the back with the woman who was helping me and told me that the arms for the glasses were different. I said her store was the one that changed the lenses last year, so if the arms are different, they did it (no one said anything about different arms in 2023). She adopted a hostile attitude and began arguing with me. She then said that the lab wouldn't change the lenses. I reminded her that they changed them last year with no issue. In an unpleasant, raised and brash voice she told me: "They don't do it this year." End of story. I've moved on the Costco. For a manager with, according to her, 25 years of working for the company, she clearly isn't the type of person I'd want working with the public. Bad attitude.
