text: I really wanted to like this place but the fact is that it is a very poorly run business that simply does not deserve its customers money nnFirst there is the problem with length of time waiting I came to this practice for an annual checkup needing new prescriptions for both eyeglasses and contacts This required two appointments one for basic evaluation and fit the second for followup For the first appointment I arrived five minutes early and there were no other patients in the waiting room or office I know because I walked by the empty exam rooms to hang my coat Still I was kept waiting for minutes inexplicably without any apologies when I was finally seen Since the optometrist kept me waiting for minutes prior to seeing me I declined the dilation saying I had lunch plans and did not have the time She gave me a quizzical look and said well you sure did not give us much time Excuse me but I gave you plenty of time you just kept me waiting for most of it The second appointment was worse It was just for the contact lens followup and reschedule of the dilation so I knew it should be a quick appointment Instead I was kept waiting for a total of minutes for only minutes of patient care Seeing that the only time they could see me was during my work hours I was pretty annoyed they decided it was okay to jeopardize my job just so they can fit more patients in and pad their own wallets nnThe second problem is that of their questionable ethics I have been wearing contact lens for years and my optometrists have always told me I have a slight astigmatism in one eye however it was so small that I did not need special contacts so I was always given nonastigmatism contacts because that was the more sensible option At this appointment I told the optometrist I have a slight astigmatism but not enough to warrant special contacts However she then proceeded to give me a prescription for contacts made for astigmatism During the followup visit I again told her I do not see the need and like my old ones fine she said oh yea you are right you are probably fine without the special contacts Why would I label this questionable ethics The contacts for astigmatism cost more I suspect she may have been trying to upcharge me nnThis would make sense given the third problem an inefficient business model Both times I was there there were three admin staff per one optometrist The whole time I was there no one seemed busy except occasionally one person would schedule appointments or order contacts I used to work in an optometrists office and one admin staff was usually more than enough for one optometrist If you think about it every patient that walks in to this practice has to support not only the optometrists hefty salary but also the salary of three other workers This may explain why they kept me waiting so long and why they tried to upcharge me on contacts nnLastly there is the question of quality I came in to this visit wanting new glasses and a new prescription for contacts For the glasses I will admit there was a young lady that seemingly knew a lot about picking out fashionable eyeglasses However when I said I wanted help picking out glasses the cashier walked me over to the selection Nothing against her but she did not seem very knowledgeable about different styles I repeatedly hinted I would like style advice but after minutes the knowledgeable lady was doing something else across the room Frustrated with not being able to get help picking out a pair I left unvictorious in my search for eyeglasses On a side note Lawrenceville Vision Care said it would take weeks to get the glasses Being that I could not be helped there I went to Eyetique later that night got great style advice and got the lens and frames all within minutes nnMore questionable though is the quality of the contact lens prescription Being that I received no help in my quest for eyeglasses i was at least hopeful to be successful in getting my new contact lens prescription updated if necessary However after this whole ordeal was done after the fit followup exameverything when the optometrist gave me my contact prescription I looked at it and noticed the prescription was written the same in both eyes Oh I said surprised did my prescription change Nope she replied it is exactly the same as before Oh I said again surprised then why is this prescription for my left eye in a different strength She looked at it and said hmmm what did your prescription used to be and I told her and she changed it back So now I do not know if my prescription has changed at all because basically the prescription she gave me is just whatever I said it was nnBeing a Lawrenceville resident I really wanted to like this place However after spending nearly
