Clarkson Eyecare

The low rating for this review is entirely related to Dr. Mark Johnson and not for anyone else at this location. Everyone else who works there was lovely and very helpful. The first thing Dr. Johnson said to me when he walked into the exam room was "What the hell?", which lead me to believe there was something wrong with my eyes in the pictures that were taken beforehand, so I asked if something was wrong with my eyes. He said no, and that he said "what the hell" because he saw that I was wearing a mask. He proceeded to say I had "drank the koolaid" and continued to rant about other patients who had come in wearing masks. I did not engage with this display of unprofessionalism, and said "I'm just here for an eye exam." Once the eye exam began, he seemed to rush through it, and even said he was rushing through it because I was wearing a mask and it would fog up the lenses (it never did because my mask was properly sealed around my nose). I told him he did not need to rush, and that… there was no fog. That did not seem to slow him down. All the options presented to me for my right eye seemed blurry, so I did not speak up to mention that any specific option was better than another, since they were all blurry to me. When I did find an option that was more clear, I said so, and it was met with a condescending "finally she speaks." We found a lense for my left eye that was more clear, but we did not find one for my right eye, and he concluded that my right eye script had not changed. I told him I was skeptical, as all the options for my right eye seemed blurry, and that I had been having blurry vision generally. He threw up a line of letters and asked if I could read them. I said yes, and he responded "then your vision is better than everyone else that comes in here." Since that seemed like an exaggeration, I asked if he was joking. He said he was not. I said again that I was skeptical that I am the only patient ever able to read that line of text with glasses. He said something along the lines of "well then you try working here" and then left. It's certainly the most unprofessional experience I've ever had with an optometrist. I'm grateful to the staff at the front desk who have set me up an appointment at another location to have my prescription reviewed
