“It was all very good. I like Dr. Schwartz. My only issue was with the glasses. I was told that OTC glasses were not great, their choice of glasses was limited for what I like and very pricey.”

My only comment is the excessive reminder. Multiple times a day via email or text. It is just too much.

The receptionist, short chubby black female was tryin to get me to come out of pcket for eye exam...
She was not very personable and somewhat terse...
I am not going to trust my eye care to anyone that I feel is untrustworthy...
Not a reflection on the doc as I never got to meet him...
I left disappointed and frustrated. I expect professionalism at all times and don't want to deal with staff that demonstrate questionable behavior.
