Went for regular eye exam and was given a prescription for a contact lens which wasn’t made my the manufacturer. I realized this when I tried to buy contacts and they simply didn’t exist.
I called to get this corrected. Nancy (the practice manager) was very reasonable, apologized, said there was “human error” and gave me an updated prescription.
I try to buy contacts again and learn that the second contact lens prescription also didn’t exist! Apparently they hadn’t even checked, shocking given the first mistake!
I called back to ask for help, they were VERY hard to get a response from. When I finally did get a response, they were rude and refused to answer questions. I still don’t have any resolution and don’t have any faith that they will be able to provide quality eyecare.
Very concerned about sloppy care, lack of due diligence, and poor customer service. Highly advise you look elsewhere for your eye care needs.

They took care of me quickly and I think the best part of it all, not only the doctor but the whole staff really took their time to explain what they were doing and for what reason, helping me understand the health of my eyes
