I left work early for the appointment only to be told I scheduled an incorrect doctor for an eye exam. The receptionist said that she tried to contact me however I don’t know how she could have because the phone number she quoted me was incorrect. I have tried to use this provider before but I had another terrible experience. I will never go back this practice again.
