One of the best Drs I ever had.
Verified patient
This was by far the worst experience with any sort of eye doctor I’ve ever had. I will NEVER come back or recommend this place. Literally have no idea why front desk thought it was proper to accost me in the middle of my appointment, when I have no contacts on and my eyes are actually bothering me, to have me pay for the out of pocket contact prescription costs because for some reason the ZocDoc algorithm provided a specialist for an annual eye exam. It took over 40 minutes for me to be seen by the assistant and about an hour for the actual doctor to even acknowledge my existence. This is simply inexcusable on soo many accounts. It shouldn’t take over an hour for a simple eye exam and the complete lack of respect for timeliness is UNACCEPTABLE.
Verified patient
Was a good doctor, but the office is purposefully misleading with the way they bill patients. They allow patients to book an appointment via their vision coverage (which allows one free eye exam a year), but then when the patient is checking out after the appointment, they tell the patient that this doctor's services are not covered by the vision plan and instead bill the patient's health insurance for a "specialist office visit without a referral" which is not totally covered by most health insurance plans, so the patient is left with an unexpected co-pay fee. Also wait times are really bad.
Verified patient
The office moved to a new location since my prior visit. The new facilities are very nice. The technician who completed my screening exams was very professional and considerate. Dr. Morar was excellent and professional as always. I am very pleased with this experience.
