"Doctor Vaassen said I could have my eyeglasses adjusted at this visit. But after I had sat down at the counter, the optical tech, [REDACTED] said she couldn't adjust glasses not purchased there. She said it was policy. As a self-pay patient who drove 60 miles roundtrip to have my eyes checked, I think this is a customer unfriendly policy."

"I pre-registered online & it told me to go directly to the vision center because I had done that. When I came in and proceeded to the vision center the 2 gals at the front reception were a bit rude. Informing me what time it was and I was 10 minutes early. I was full aware of what time it was and what time my appointment was. Just took me back a bit typically greeted very friendly by reception."

"Hello, I am an electric wheelchair user and I found that the equipment was not fully accessible. I wasn't able to actually get close enough to the machine for the doctor to properly evaluate me, so I don't think I fully got the exam that I should have because of that. So if there could be some effort to be made to make the facility more accessible, especially the equipment that's used, that would be great. Bye."

"I felt like a number, not a person. The nurse and doctor weren't friendly. It was not a pleasant experience. I had my children with me and I felt like the nurse and doctor had no patience and judged me negatively for bringing them with me to my appointment. It was as if they couldn't send me out the door fast enough. I will be finding a new optical provider. Terrible customer service."

"I was very appreciative by the quickness of getting an appointment and I was provided with medication to help so that is the main thing. The bedside manner of the optometry staff was less personable than previous visits with the general practice staff. Most of my questions were given one/two word responses or you'll have to schedule a different type of appointment to answer that. Overall, it addressed the main issue that I came for, so it was productive. It was just more formal and less empathetic than I am used to seeing there."
