The examination was good. After getting a price on the lenses ($449) I told the staff I needed to comparison shop and if the price was competitive I would be back. I ultimately ended up calling the doctors office a week later to ensure my insurance paid the doctor. When they hadn't checked for a week I asked to speak to the doctor. He called me and said he wasn't going to bill my insurance (though they verified the insurance was valid) and it would be fine if I took my business elsewhere. I asked why and he told me he assumes the patients he examined would buy glasses. Obviously the staff told him I was shopping his price. I said I didn't know if they were priced to high and needed my prescription to comparison shop. He said he wasn't going to bill my insurance and therefore I didn't need the prescription. I told him I didn't care if he did or didn't but I had the exam and was even checking to ensure he got paid and wanted the prescription. I thought it was arrogant to assume I would pay whatever he was charging. This convinced me that lenses could likely be found far cheaper. I was apalled at this doctors position. I ultimately got the prescription and I encourage YOU to check lense prices before getting a quality examination at a fair price and possibly paying way more than necessary for lenses. What a sleezy way to run a business! He just lost a couple of customers. Another great story to tell friends!
Pros: Good Examination
Cons: Arogant and Unethical
