Dr. Frederick Wayne Knapp, DO

He keeps you coming back by telling you how STRONG your eyes are at 82, and how wonderful you are, or patriotic--walking the point. He prescribes 100 dollar a bottle eye drops and antibiotic eye drops for months at a time, and new eye glass prescriptions, and tests for peripheral vision. The Base eye doctor examined my eyes and said there was nothing wrong with my eyes, except CATARACTS and DRY EYE, so I felt it was time, after 5 years with KNAPP for a change. . I changed doctors. The new eye Doctor also SAID -dry eye and advanced cataracts. One month later THE NEW DOCTOR removed cataracts from both eyes, they were very advanced, and plugged my tear ducts to stop the dry eye. With the cataracts out I do not need glasses, I can read and drive my car without glasses, and I do not need any drops, as new Doctor plugged the eye ducts to eliminate the dry eye. I also do not need every light in the house on to see where I am going, thankfully the cataracts are gone, and… the colors are so bright and vivid.

He collected my insurance for 5 years, with a check up visit every six months, and my eyes became worst each year. Almost blind I consulted another Doctor, his diagnosis was advanced cataracts that should have been removed five years ago, and severely dry eyes that caused immense pain. I am now getting proper care , correct diagnosis, and cataract removal with a real Doctor.

This doctor is a sham. His front desk staff have no idea what they’re doing. They blatantly lied to me on several occasions; one when they told me that Dr Knapp accepted my insurance, and another when they told me he has experience with hard contact lenses. When I arrived, I was the only one in the waiting room. Dr Knapp came in and started babbling something to me, didn’t look me in the eye or introduce himself. Is he even a human? The assistant asked me to enter the first test room, and told me to remove my lenses. She gave me soft contact solution. I told her my contacts were hard and she said, “what are those?” She hadn’t ever heard of them! My entire experience was incredibly uncomfortable and NOBODY seemed to know what they were doing. With my contacts out, I sat in Dr Knapp’s chair while he babbled some more (his accent is so thick you can’t understand a word he is saying) He kept handing me printed out coupons for over-the-counter drugs. I told him more than… five times that I do not use over-the-counter drugs. I also told him I couldn’t see the printed material he kept handing me. He completely ignored me. IT TOOK ME THIRTY MINUTES FOR HIM TO FINALLY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT I NEEDE TO EAT MORE KALE! This doctor preys on people. I took my prescription to Dr Stemley down the way. After I paid CASH FOR ANOTHER EYE EXAM with Dr Stemley, he reluctantly pulled up the prescription that Dr Knapp issued me. IT WAS WORSE THAN WHAT I SEE WITHOUT GLASSES to make matters worse, I just received a $300 bill from my insurance because “that doctor doesn’t accept my insurance” Do not use this doctor. He is a greedy, money hungry old man who most likely preys on old people. I will be pursuing this to it’s professional outcome. LIVID
