The moment I arrived for my eye appointment, I knew I would be well taken care of. From the friendly front desk who had all my information ready to the amazing fitting specialist. Dr. Simmons was the most knowledgeable optometrist I’ve seen in over 10 years. He was very thorough and explained everything in a way I could understand. He is very personable and truly cares about his patients.

The optician assistant whom I saw did not appear well-trained or highly competent, and did not communicate well. She required multiple consultations with other assistants/technicians to answer my questions, and did not respond with strong communication skills. She dilated my pupils, which caused blurry vision before attempting to examine my contact lens prescription accuracy, which seemed like a questionable examination sequence and one I had not encountered in prior ophthalmology appointments. Dr. Blake Simmons, however, was a very thorough Optician and a good communicator.

December 13, 2025nola F.Verified patient
My appointment was at 3:15p & a text was sent to come in by 3:10p. I arrived at 3:00p, checked in, & waited. At 3:33p, I went back up to the desk & said my appt was at 3:15. Receptionist said they must be running behind but you're up next to be called. 3:47p, med asst calls me. She then leads me into the area where they're going to give me an eye exam. She asked if I was going to need glasses today. I told her I was there for a consultation. She said I needed to get an eye exam regardless. I told her I just got an eye exam a few weeks ago & all I wanted was a consultation for eyelid surgery. I already knew my insurance would not pay for another eye exam this year (& if they needed, I could have had my optometrist fax over my exam if they needed the info). I think what bothered me was the 30 min wait & when I said to the med asst, "So you guys are running 30 mins behind" & instead of apologizing for the delay, she just said "yeah". What kind of response is that. No empathy.

Dr seemed very busy and had less than four minutes to tell me what the diagnosis was. I’m still waiting for the report so I can schedule with a specialist
