My last glasses were a disaster, and I mistakenly blamed it on the maker, but it turns out that the prescription was faulty. My last visit was only to have my eyes checked for particles from the explosion of a florescent light tube. Dr. Blysma failed to check my left eye but had the time to assure me that I would not be able to pass a drivers test, he was wrong! I felt high-pressured by him and did not like his manner or his attitude. After many years as a faithful customer and client, I refused another appointment and do not plan to return. The Shepherd Eye Center is not like it used to be.
Shepard Eye Center - Santa Maria replied:
We are very sorry you had such trouble with your glasses prescription. We are not in the business to pressure anyone into new glasses. While I can't discuss the particulars of your case here, I will say that we only respond to how you perform on you vision test with the glasses you had at the time. We are always available to trouble shoot any problems and we will do our best to fix them. We are certainly willing to own up to any mistakes on our part. Again, we are very sorry for your trouble and the impression it gave you. We remain available to help trouble shoot your new prescription as well as any medical eye care you might need. Hopefully we have taken good care of you other than the problem with your last glasses prescription, and would really miss you as a patient. Thank you.
