I just had the worst experieence possible. he kept me aiting 6 months for lenses,dragged me in on a hot sticky summer day . The lenses fir well and when I was to taake them he removed them ans said"We follow a policy of only issuing lenses to patients who can pay. He did not quote any price and they are not covered on insurance although the support group is lobbying for it, I could have paid had a price been quoted. The senseless cruelty left me in tears.

Not sure about Dr Mannix, never got to see him He should replace the woman or women who answer his phone. Took 2 weeks trying to make an appointment, referrals they couldn't find, and then told me he wasn't taking new patients. Isn't that what a referral is about? I wasted 2 weeks getting badly needed care because of their uncaring incompetence. Just tossed my referral and didn't have the decency to let me k ow he wouldn't see me.

It has been hard for me to follow up on 6 month visits, living out of state( La.) but Dr. Mannix is very thorough! It is hard leaving a good physician, so I'll try to visit
