This practice will continue to harass a deceased patient's surviving family by sending a bill every month for 2 years. They have no compassion, only care about the buck, and don't care that they are hurting a real person's feeling. It's bad enough to have lost a special loved one, but to have that person's doctor not care about feelings but only collecting a few dollars. Shame on this office for using poor business practices. The patient left no money to surviving family members. So, why do they continue to pressure the patients family. This should be illegal.

Terrible experience. She was condescending and very negative in her diagnosis. I wish I would have read these reviews prior to that visit.

The doctor was absolutely unprofessional! She also really seemed to like to talk but never bothered to listen and rushed me out the door. Her so called optometrist gave me the completely wrong prescription and she wouldn’t even listen when I tried to tell her it was bad-I don’t think she even had a license! She also forgot to order my contacts! Additionally, I waited FOREVER! I am NEVER going back! They are so unorganized!

Would never go back to her. Never performed required tests. Would not return phone calls. Would not waste my time with such an unprofessional person. Staff was rude. Just skip it entirely.
