Overall Experience
The reviews of First Eye Associates and its associated doctors are mixed. Some reviewers have had positive experiences, while others have expressed dissatisfaction with their visits.
Positive Experience
Several reviewers have had positive experiences with their visits. Dr. Drake and her staff are described as friendly, courteous, and prompt in their appointments. Another reviewer was pleased with the results of cataract surgery performed by Dr. Crossman. The staff was described as personable and helpful in one review.
Negative Experience
However, there are several reviews that express dissatisfaction with their visits. One reviewer was disappointed with the lack of transparency about the cost of glasses and contacts. The office did not take insurance for these services and the rebates offered by the manufacturer were not sufficient to make up for the lack of coverage.
Another reviewer was unhappy with the service they received from Dr. Griess. They felt that he did not take their concerns seriously and that his treatment plan was inadequate. The reviewer also felt that glaucoma was not adequately diagnosed and treated by Dr. Griess.
Yet another reviewer was not satisfied with the service they received from Dr. Mixan. They felt that their exam was rushed and that they were not given the opportunity to have a comprehensive eye exam. The reviewer also felt that the office did not take insurance for glasses and contacts, which was frustrating.
Technical Issues
There are also some technical issues mentioned in the reviews. One reviewer mentioned that the office did not automatically generate a new eye glass prescription after an annual eye exam, which was frustrating. Another reviewer mentioned that the office did not have a seamless process for scheduling contact lens fittings.
