I wasn't going to post this, but after seeing similar reviews I will. What are they going to do? "let me go" again? I worked there for about a week and only had 2 days of training and was told to ask if I have questions and when I asked, I was insulted and embarrassed by another employee in front of a patient. SO unprofessional. I raised this concern to my direct super and was ignored. When I showed up the next day no one seemed to have any concern for what happened and I was "let go". I was not the one who made the patient uncomfortable, but because I was raising concern to my direct supervisor

I was scheduled for eye surgery 3 times since early May and now They rescheduled me the first 2 times. The last surgery was scheduled for September 23. I heard nothing until a few days before. At that time I called and spoke with the surgery nurse. She told me that she had a few other things to confirm but that she would call me back later in the day or the next morning. I never heard from them though I did leave several messages and as the day progressed, I left them an Urgent message. I never heard back. I never had the surgery and no calls or explanation of why I was being treated in such an

I had a terrible experience at Braverman-Terry-Oei Eye Associates, the optometrists Dr. Phillip Smith had asked the question if I wanted my eye exam done right or passable. That was the first time I had ever been asked that question, it was mind boggling to think the doctor you go to would ask his patient that question. I have been wearing glasses since a young teen and now I am 23. I have never been in that predicament. My answer to him was that “I came here to have it done right not passable, do whatever it takes to do it right”. Dr. Philip Smith reply was that my eye exam will take longer

I used to work for them, and management is very bad, rude, and disrespectful. There's a lot of gossip among everyone and if they don't like you, they will make it a mission to fire you or find a reason to let you go. Very unprofessional, talking about patients behind their backs. They promise a raise after you get proper training and it never happens. This has to be one of the worst places I have ever worked at, and the worst with patient care. I would not recommend this place at all, especially not after working there and seeing how they talk about patients after they leave. It's so upsetting

I've come here a couple of years now, but will not be returning after today. The staff and workers are great, but ever since the practice was bought out by a new owner the service (wait times are crazy, lobby is usually overcrowded to the point of having to stand against a wall waiting) has gone WAY down hill. Seems the new owner only cares about ramming as many people as possible through like cattle through the chutes.
Just waited two hours for a specialist to see my wife for LESS THAN 10 minutes and tell us to go to her primary doctor. We were only even here because she was referred to an ophthalmologist

Everyone was very friendly and made me feel at ease. Dr. Smith is amazing, he is full of positivity. He and his staff are patient and kind. I didn't feel rushed or ashamed of how bad my vision is, as I've felt in some past experiences. Dr. Smith also helped me worry less by explaining what is wrong with my eyesight and answering questions I wouldn't have the courage to ask because of how embarrassed I was about my bad vision. In the end it was a great and informative experience.
The Optical Dispensary on the first floor has an awesome attentive staff as well. I didn't feel like they were pushing
