Best place to come for any eye sight issues. They cared for my Grandmother when she had a cataract, and are now helping my Mom with the same. The only complaint I have is they are always late. My Mom can not drive at night, so I have to bring her just in case it is dark by the time her appointment is over.

Called to setup an appointment, the lady on the phone was incredibly sarcastic. Who answers the phone and says "how can I help you?"
"Thank you for calling Center of Sight, how can I assist you with the best care, today?"
Also, don't just cold transfer or throw someone on hold without delivering an expectation.
For example, "I'm glad you would like to make an appointment, do you mind holding for three minutes. If no one answers, you can leave a voice-mail and we will get back to you by the end of the day".
Step it up, you're in a saturated market. Show how you care so you can get positive referrals

While the doctors are great, the support staff is terrible. Trying to make appointments or trying to refill eye medication is non existent. You are always sent to a voicemail and prompted to leave a message but they never call back. I'm then forced to show in person to get anything done. This is a result of poor office management and a replacement should be in order.

As of 12/16/21 Center for Sight has made no attempt at rectifying the damage they did to my right eye or to apologize for the poor service form Dr. Hunt. When we Veterans and non-veterans experience poor service from the medical community, it needs to be exposed so they change their attitudes and get retrained in customer service otherwise, poor reviews will continue to pile up. If you appreciate my honesty and posting of poor medical service providers, please give a thumbs up as it will help others not go through what I have gone through.

The Cataract surgery I had yesterday was nothing short of amazing. I can see. All this time I thought the pavers around the pool were brown. They're nearly white.
I no longer have to turn every light on to see. It's amazing the difference.
Pricey indeed. Worth every penny. Next eye next Wednesday. I can't wait.

I have never experienced the personal, professional treatment that I received at The Center For Sight. This is a large practice with a wide variety of specialists, yet I never felt rushed, ignored or taken for granted by anyone from the person checking me in to the person walking me to my ride. The staff at every level was completely professional and so friendly and welcoming like you seldom ever see. The doctors, of course, are top notch. They patiently explained every step of my procedure and were more than reassuring. I highly recommend Center For Sight.

EYE SURGERY AT A FACTORY!!!
I've been to MANY doctors offices in my lifetime, but NEVER have I seen anything quite like this place! It's appalling! Patients waiting for hours only to be directed up to the second floor for another round of waiting for another another hour! After being led into the third waiting area, with patients lying everywhere on gurneys, I finally had enough when the nurse was unable to insert an IV into my arm! After almost 3 hours of waiting in a freezing cold office with patients lying 10 inches from one another (during Covid) I had enough! I got off my gurney

I have to tell you how amazing the whole team is at center for sight! I am on the younger side of having cataracts and to say I was very nervous! Everyone one was so NICE and calming! The surgery went fast and everything was explained in detail on what to do during and after. If I could give more stars for this practice I would! Thank you Dr Soscia and tram!!

I am extremely happy with the results of my cataract surgery. The staff is very supportive and efficient. Dr. Shoemaker is an excellent doctor and my sight improved greatly. I am grateful I was assigned to Kelly, my patient representative. She took care of me and supported me through the whole process.

CFS is very efficient, uses state of the art equipment, and the staff seems well trained. However, if you expect to see the surgeon more than the 5 minutes he allocates at the initial evaluation, you will be sorely disappointed. I would have appreciated a short visit from the surgeon after the Cataract surgery to assure me all went well. That did not happen. In addition, the patient is given a surgery time window. The day before surgery between 1pm and 5pm, the Center telephones to give the exact surgery time. This is very inconvenient for the patient.

Every visit I've had to this office results in a positive outcome. The staff are all kind, compassionate, competent, and professional. I had the Lasik procedure performed here and I am thrilled with the results. The follow up exams are thorough and the ongoing care is outstanding! I also had to be seen here for an emergency when I woke up with severe eye pain (not related to Lasik, I had a foreign body in my eye) and Dr. Schaub quickly identified the problem and fixed it so that I had immediate relief. They are amazing at what they do!

Dr. Kim, along with his entire staff, were wonderful!
I was taken in on time. The pre-consultation exams were so thorough, and each team member was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. Not to mention polite.
Dr. Kim was so impressive. His demeanor was kind and patient, explaining every detail and answering all my questions. Never did I feel rushed. After my consultation, I was set at ease, knowing I had the best of the best!

I paid over $6000 for CUSTOM Mono Vision cataract surgery from Doctor Lahners. I have worn RGP Mono vision contact lenses for over 30 years and love them... Unfortunately I got cataracts in both eyes and needed surgery... I Called 4 Times before the surgery and STRESSED that I need to be able to read at 36 " away NOT 12"..... I tried extremely hard to explained this to his assistant BUT SHE WOULD NOT LISTEN!! Actually the only thing she said was I will be able to read and see distance.. She was right as long as I'm 12" away from what I am reading ...I drive 40k miles

My experience was very positive. The people I had contact with were very nice and very helpful. Everything was explained well and in language I could understand. I was a little nervous but the nurses were very comforting and patient. The Dr was attentive to my needs and very thorough. Thank you all for your care and understanding. I would recommend the Center to others.

Center for Sight took Henry Ford's recommendation and made their practice a assembly line. That's all it is. I had cataract surgery and the results are no different then when I first went in. And of course they have an excuse for why the surgery was not successful. $7,000 down the drain. They final solution was prescription sunglasses. I could have saved 6,700 had I known that.

Top notch service. Top of the line surgeons w decades of expertise. The surgeon who performed my cataract removal is Dr. Lahner who could not be better. I now have 20-20 vision in both eyes & see colors as though I were 5 years old again. I cannot be more grateful for the restoration of my sight. Hallelujah. No trick fees. No pressure. Transportation provided to & from surgery by punctual professional drivers. All technicians who provide everything from eye measurements to financial info are courteous, knowedgeable & professional. My experience having my cataracts removed was perfect

My first visit to the Center For Sight
Was yesterday. As a physician, I was curious also
To see how such a large practice was
Handled. I was very impressed. The practice
Was efficient, v,ery polite and fast..
The following eye exams were just amazing.
This was the most comprehensive eye exam
I had ever had. Dr. Lanhers was careful
To explain the cataract surgery varieties
And options. He did yet another eye exam
And was thorough and not in a hurry.
I had read some negative reviews
About the practice and this was not my
Experience at all. This was just excellent
In every way.

I went to the Center for Sight for cataract surgery. The day of the surgery I was ushered into a cold room with probably 20 other patients lying on gurneys. The professional staff were cold and distant. They do not introduce themselves nor do they call you by name.
I suffer anxiety before medical procedures and I felt uncomfortable with this assembly line approach. The anesthetist was particularly unfeeling and hectored me about my rising blood pressure and heart rate. I explained that I always suffer from "white coat syndrome" and would soon calm down if she would just leave me alone

Generally a friendly office and good office staff which is good because you should expect to be there for a LONG time.
I had a regular appointment for eye exam, review/update glasses and prescriptions. I didn't wait long for the tech who did the majority of the work. Then I waited over an hour for Dr Putrino to see me. He did a check of my eyes, recommended a contact lens brand and sent me on my way.
For the first time every, there was no discussion of making sure the new contact lens brand fit properly. When I asked about that, I got "nah not necessary".
I asked for a sunglass

Recently came here on a recommendation from one of their own at the university pkwy location. Made the appointment two weeks prior but received a call, the day before the procedure, to inform me that they would be collecting $1000 the day of my appointment. Really?!couldn't they have called me 24 to 48 hours after making the appointment, so that I can better prepare?! Not like I have that laying around! Day of appointment, I walked in to find a cattle call, people in line, people sitting, people everywhere. Got to the reception desk and when collecting the payment, the medical receptionist

Before Montgomery Eye Center switched to Center For Sight the service and billing was a breeze. Now that the new company is in place, they charge for refraction, which my insurance pays for. However, it doesn't pay as much as Center For Sight wants so they don't even bother to submit. They just send a bill and then threaten to ruin my credit if I don't pay them directly. My husband was on the phone with them numerous times. They just don't care. They want the extra money. I think I need to contact the State to look into why they do this.

I was disappointed when, after only six months of being seen, the doctor refused to renew a prescription for eye drops. It seems that the push for a full eye exam , even at the height of Covid, took precedence over common sense and empathy.
In fact when I saw Dr. Lenhart several months ago for blepharitis, his response was cold and unhelpful. When I tried to explain how I thought I had contracted it, he interrupted and dismissed me. He pushed for a full eye exam then and then again as I was checking out. It seemed to be his only concern even though I had a full eye exam fairly recently.
