Poor Customer Service
The reviews highlight a pattern of poor customer service at Central Valley Eye Care. Several patients have reported having a terrible experience with the staff, particularly the front desk ladies. They were often unhelpful, unresponsive, and even rude. One patient had to make an extra effort to find the office, only to be told that their appointment was cancelled due to being "late".
Long Wait Times
Furthermore, the reviews reveal that wait times are often excessively long. One patient had to wait for over an hour past their scheduled appointment time, only to find out that the doctor was not even available. Another patient booked an appointment two weeks in advance, only to be told that it was cancelled because they were running late - a strange and confusing policy.
Good Reviews
However, not all reviews were negative. Two patients had a positive experience with Central Valley Eye Care. One patient praised the staff for being dedicated and helpful, as well as the doctor for taking the time to communicate with their loved one. Another patient mentioned that the staff was nice and the wait time was short.
