I was looking for a cataract surgeon with availability sooner than the 4 months out availability with my usual clinic. At First Eye Associates I had several eye tests and was required to sign the cataract surgery authorization form before the doctor would even see me. Dr. Griess didn't believe me when I said I was having difficulty with my vision. His assessment was 1) my cataracts were not that bad, 2) I should use moisturizing ointment (which the previous eye dr discontinued due to causing blurry vision), and 3) an eye lid lift would solve my vision problems. Yes, he had a plastic surgeon to

I have been going to Dr. R. Crossman for 10 plus years. Very professional and personable as well. I have no doubt I am in good hands when being thoroughly checked. His office assistant is, likewise, very personable and helpful. Had to call the office from out-of-state to get my prescription as I had lost my glasses and needed a replacement. The assistant called me right back and was so helpful in getting my need met.

Dr. Maw may perform well in surgery but his bedside manner is HORRIBLE. He diagnosed me with a precursor to an eye disease and showed no sympathy while I cried because I had no previous eye issues before an accident. Then he insisted that it was not caused by this accident and would not even entertain the idea because he "has not seen any research" on the matter. However, if you do some simple online research it is very possible that my accident could have been the cause to my disease. He clearly does not care for his patients. He is simply in the medical field for the science/money of it, not

My toddler daughter was in extreme pain and this clinic fit us in at the last minute. The staff was amazing! Shevonda immediately took care of my insurance and I was called back within minutes. The assistant Monica was so good with daughter! The fruit snacks were a perfect touch. Dr Crossman had great patience and performed a thorough exam. This was my first experience with Methodist and I was truly impressed. I am incredibly grateful to the flexible staff at First Eye.

Does not answer questions and does not listen. If Dr Maw did a thorough analysis of my previous Dr records and my condition he did not let on so during my appointment. I have previously been diagnosed w/ Glaucoma - he said OCT scans are subjective - which my previous Dr had indicated there was deterioration in. After asking him twice he would not tell me exactly what my pressures were, just that they were in the teens. The first appointment I made he did not conduct full eye exam (ie prescription for glasses). So I scheduled a 2nd one, and had to remind him to do so. He did not listen to me when
