“Dr. Barber is an amazing provider. He listened to all of my grandmother's concerns, was very patient through the process as she is deaf, and did a great job of educating me on her current condition and future plans. We were seen within 5 minutes of arriving and the appointment was quick and thorough. I highly recommend this office and the Optometrist. ”

Review: Disappointing Experience with Dr. Joe Broadway
I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Joe Broadway. His bedside manner was poor, he yawned throughout my exam, which made me feel like he wasn’t engaged or attentive.
When he fitted me with contacts, I immediately told him that I couldn’t see clearly. Despite my concerns, he insisted I continue wearing them. Upon leaving the exam room, I expressed again that my vision was blurry and that I didn’t feel comfortable driving. Instead of addressing the issue, he responded dismissively, saying, “Take them off,” and walked away.
I expected a much more professional and caring experience. This visit left me feeling frustrated and unheard. I would not recommend Dr. Broadway based on my experience.
