"Getting an appointment in the ophthalmology department is about impossible. I needed to reschedule my appointment & couldn't get in for 6 months. This is not ok. Either get more providers or stop recruiting more patients as you obviously don't have the capacity to care for those you currently have."

In addition -- the radiant soul (Heidi) -- provided me with concrete information to prevent my losing all of my Medical Associates Physicians because I have been approved for Medicaid. Fourth of July rockets are an appropriate reaction to the hope I can now entertain -- and to the Help I received yesterday. Thank You !"

"I just want to say that Dr. Arensdorff was very good, once again. He listens to everything that I say, answers all of my questions, brings up my previous medical history, and ensures me that everything is still looking good for that. I might have given the office desk girls higher of a rating than and what they deserved. I think everything with my experience is perfect, with the exception sometimes they are too busy or too chatty to check me in. But right when I get back there in the room, the nurses are always wonderful. Dr. Arensdorff is wonderful. And you can tell that he really cares. So just wanted to leave that feedback. He is wonderful."

While (In hindsight) I do think I was informed of this fact, I was initially a bit confused, to say the least, by the employees who checked me needing additional information on my insurance when I had completed the online check-in process in hopes of expediting this. That is my only negative remark and it seemed more pressing to me because I was in a rush. Overall, the entire team was courteous and readily and robustly answered my questions. Thanks"

"Amanda was so caring and gentle with me! She walked me through my fears of having the eye machine coming towards my eyes. She kept things calm and I was appreciative of this because it is so difficult for me to go through. I even took some anxiety medication, and still was very anxious. Dr. Arensdorff was the same way, very calm and patient. Talked to me in a way that was so understanding and explained what he was doing and what would happen next. I am so grateful for this team!!! By the time I left, I had even survived an ultrasound and I am so sorry I forgot her name, I think it was Brenda! I used to work calmly and patiently with some clients and I know exactly what it takes to be that support person and work them through difficult challenges. So thank you for giving me this exceptional care and support!"

So, but anyway, I'm just letting you know I'm still waiting for a prescription from [REDACTED]. And they were most helpful. And they let me know that it's not going to happen right away. But I'm just letting you know I'm still - haven't received any word from [REDACTED] for my prescription for my eyes. Thank you."

"I waited a half hour after initially being taken into the exam room and the initial exam before the optometrist came in. No one came to say what was happening or to check on me. I have never had an eye exam that lasted over 2 hours like this did. I did not feel some of the conversation between the receptionist and another person in the front office was inappropriate in front of a patient."

"My appointment was at 1110. While I was seen by the nurse right away for the initial exam, I waited for OVER 30 min to finally be seen by Dr Arensdorff. Then after his exam and he put the eye drops in, I waited again for at least another 20-25 min. I realize you need some time for the dilation to work but an eye appt from start to finish should take close to 2 hours, that is ridiculous."

"Dr. Arensdorff stood outside the exam room and chatted with some woman for ten minutes while I was waiting for him. I stuck my head out the door to ask if he had forgotten about me and he said he was just finishing up some notes. I could not make out the conversation that he was having with the woman."

"I did not realize that my eyes would be dilated and I had never had that done before. While the staff said I would be able to drive myself, I would have preferred to be told about the dilation before the appointment so I could have planned for a ride and not to go back to work after since I couldn't read for the rest of the day. In a nutshell, it would be good to tell people that their eyes will be dilated when they make the appointment and provide context for what that means for their ability to work and safely drive the rest of the day."

"The staff is always upbeat, courteous and caring. Unfortunately, the length of time to have annual checkup completed seems to be longer than necessary with fairly long spans of time just sitting and waiting. The checkup appointment was scheduled for 1:30 and we did not get done until 3:20, almost 2 hours. My mother (the patient) is 92 years old and an appointment of that length after having to be driven 60 miles to get there is very difficult."

"[REDACTED]. I particularly enjoyed my experience at [REDACTED] ... they were up front and let me know how little change had actually occurred in my vision. This experience has taught me to carry my paperwork from previous visits because I cannot rely on my doctor to be direct when I ask my question regarding whether the new prescription would be "reading glasses." I learned to trust the fact my vision is not very blurry nor do I get headaches. Although, I will be okay with getting new glasses ... they will be a better fit because I learned from my first experience with frames. Otherwise, the doctor's "bedside manner" is quite exemplary. The nurse is fantastic!! (Hmmm ... the other time I was given a survey was when the doctor had a trainee. Related?? Or not.)"
