Had a red eye for 2 days and it was a very quick visit. Actually surprised by how nice the office was. Doctor was good at explaining what happened and I was gone in 20min.

Verified patient
Second visit with Dr. Patel. Excited I found the perfect OD!
Verified patient
Very happy. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful.
I paid much more for eye exam than my regular exam cost (free) with insurance. They charge for some extra exam mostly done for elderly patients at other locations. Now I have hassle-ful task of calling the insurance to either get reimbursed or eat the cost. Doctor was fine, but I wouldn't have visited if I knew I would pay lot extra for eye exam, that I get for free elsewhere...
Dr. Anita was fine but the head optometrist was clearly money hungry and not helpful. Make sure they take your insurance before you go there. They will charge you for just walking in.
Quick and efficient, yet thorough
Verified patient
Communication during the exam definitely could improve. I was not aware the annual exam involved having my eyes dilated. I also was not told until after the drops were put in my eyes that it was to dilate them. I had to return to work after where I could not see my computer screen for the next 2 hours and was put behind as a result. Should definitely tell patients what all is involved in the exam before getting started. My contact lens prescription was also reduced significantly, and I could not see with new prescription. Ended up having to go to a different doctor to get my prescription increased to where it should be.
Amazing service from start to finish!
