    WARNING - Do not see this Doctor for an eye exam!!! Start to finish the service, care and billing…read morean extremely disappointing experience. The optometrist spent very little time with me and seemed uninterested in anything but finishing the appt asap. He mentioned my macular degeneration but other than pointing it out which I already knew about which is done at any eye appt no treatment was performed other than the upgraded imaging I approved prior to the appt. I fully understood I would be paying for that imaging upgrade but instead the office billed me a medical visit! There was nothing remotely medical about my visit and at no point was it communicated that this visit would be billed as a medical visit instead of vision. I had a vision test to get a new prescription for glasses. The ironic thing is the prescription provided was not accurate, not even close. I reached out for assistance after getting my glasses elsewhere and was told the glasses provided were subpar and they were the issue. Instead, I made another appt with another optometrist to get my prescription redone out of pocket. The prescription was totally different and much more in line with previous. Which I provided to the Dr at the time of the appt and he never even took the time to look at. Now I have a bill for medical care. Un freaking believable. This office scams you on so many levels. The office staff is curt and unhelpful. Overall, this practice lacks basic customer service, professionalism, and attention to patient care. I am paying this bill, but I will also ensure everyone else is warn away.

Perhaps she called once. My voicemail was apparently full. Time to get with the times and get a text service for appt reminders, confirmations. Still does not excuse rudeness. Asked what I do, she did not have a recommendation to get me in sooner. Today called and same bad attitude. I asked to order more contacts, the dailys. $$$. She said my scrip was expired. Its not. I complained to her that they cancelled me and did a poor try at notifying me. She did not handle that well, I let her know that I would not be getting my check-ups or care there, and especially my products from now forward.

    This review is four years past due but it was because I wanted to experience and see the progress…read moreof my eyes. Four years ago was a blurry time for me. I legit could not see your face unless you were a few inches near me. Now, I can see pretty far. Back then I had an excuse to not say hello to people ("sorry, I didn't see you there. I literally can't see you"). Now, I can avoid people at a much quicker pace because I can see them from afar. The four star review is specifically towards Dr. Nicholson. He was such a kind, calm, and patient doctor. From the first time he met with me to the last eye appointment I had with him, he was just amazing. He explained all the options for laser eye surgery to include his opinions on each one. I decided to do PRK instead of the normal laser eye surgery. Although the results take longer to show (its not an instant clear, "I can see" result), it's less invasive to the eye. The surgery itself was quick. It was so quick that when Dr. Nicholson went out to notify my husband, my husband assumed something had gone wrong with the surgery. You guys, it took less than 20 minutes to do both eyes! The experience itself is kind of weird. He puts clamps on your eyelids so you don't blink during the process. Keep in mind that he does put a numbing agent on your eyeballs. From my perspective, it looked like he was brushing my eyes. There were a few other things that he did but I remember this specifically because it felt so weird. It didn't hurt though. Also, keep in mind that I also took an over the counter drug to calm my nerves. During my ride home, my eyes were on and off blurry or clear. It was the first time in years I could see a license plate. The healing process was not bad. I asked for a few days off from work. It took almost three months for my eyes to consistently stay clear but it didn't affect my work nor my driving. Throughout that time, I had follow up appointments with Dr. Nicholson to see how I was progressing. My eyes are still pretty good. It has gotten slightly blurry again but it doesn't require any use of glasses or contacts. I can still see faraway signs. The only side affect is, if I am out at night, the lights have this star burst effect on them. It's not a big deal at all. As for the front desk and schedulers, they were terrible and quite frankly, pretty incompetent at scheduling and triaging patients. I have never had to deal with so many issues with scheduling. I had gotten the run around and often times, was given excuse after excuse. Basically, they never admitted they were wrong when it came to scheduling issues. I hope they've improved their process. There were multiple times where I wanted to give up and take my money and my business elsewhere. I have gone back and forth if I should give this business 2 stars but it wouldn't be fair to Dr. Nicholson's professionalism. I definitely trusted Dr. Nicholson from the first and last meeting. With the front line, not so much.

    My husband had cataract surgery at Evergreen Eye Center in Federal Way. After we went home on the…read moreday of the surgery, the protective contact lens they put in his eye suddenly popped out. We were concerned and called the post-op phone number listed on the sheet we were given at the center. The number went to a recording only, and long (circular) story short, we were never able to reach an actual human being, let alone a doctor or a nurse. We had to drive all the way back over to the surgery center where there was no one at the front desk (note this was during their normal business hours). We ended up having to bang on the surgery room door to get someone to come help us. We were told that my husband's eye was doing OK, but when I questioned them about the phone number they had given us and requested a phone number where we could talk to an actual doctor or nurse if there were further complications, we were met with confused looks, digging around in drawers looking for "a card," and very rude behavior from one nurse. The nurse would not allow me to explain the problem but instead, interrupted, talked over me, and raised her voice, telling me I was in the wrong. They would not allow us to speak to a doctor at this time either and would only give us a number one of the nurses googled on her own personal cell phone. We were shocked! I am sincerely hoping that my husband does not have any bleeding or other complications tonight or tomorrow before his post-op appointment because Evergreen has essentially abandoned us and neglected to provide proper post-operative care, which is tantamount to medical malpractice. I will never go to this clinic again or recommend it to any family members or friends. Stay away!

    As I have my eyes examined and purchased glasses for 6 years now the care and honesty shown to me…read morehas been over the top. I have had the same eye doctor each time and he remembers me, which has never happened before at other offices. The exam is professionally done and the expectation of my care is right on. The staff is super helpful and they work with my financial issues making my glasses affordable. I will continue to support this business as long as I feel confident there.

    It was irritating that they had a lot of people waiting and nobody acknowledged us or apologized. I…read morehad an appointment at 4:10 PM but they were running behind and had a line of people at the front desk so I didn't get to check in until 4:30 PM. By then, they told me that they're still running behind and rescheduled me for 5:10 PM. I saw the two optometrists just sitting in their rooms so I think it's that they're short on techs. Prior to seeing the docs, I remembered the techs would use two different machines to examine your eyes (and a third if you wanted to pay extra), but they only used one this time which is sus... The exam with the doctor itself went pretty fast. My parents went a few weeks ago and didn't have a good experience either. The optometrist told my Mom that her prescription didn't change so he was going to keep it the same. She told him her vision is more blurry and thinks it needs to be higher, and he just laughed. I've been going here for over a decade but will be finding a new place to get eye care :|
