davis_squareAnyone had good/bad experience with Saragas Eye & Laser Center (on Highland)?
I started going there because it was close by. They have been having me come in for 2 appointments every 6 months. I don't have anything especially wrong with my eyes (needed reading glasses). When I have asked why 2 appointments - can't I do both tests in one visit, I have gotten huffy treatment, like I was being a creep or something. I was in there today for an eye exam and then the first of these two tests - and they had me sit at the machine and told me they were only going to do one eye - that I had to come back for another appt to do the other eye. Huh? That's a new wrinkle. When I asked, I again got the huffy treatment but someone mentioned something about what insurance would cover (and made some crack about me being paranoid). Well... my co-pay is $35. x 2 visits so I'd uh...kinda like to do both eyes at the same time...since I am sitting in the chair and we always did both eyes before.
Does any of this sound like standard operating procedure? They also got kind of huffy when I didn't want to buy their designer frames for my reading glasses. Sorry if this is or sounds like a rant - and I don't want to malign the place but it seems kind of weird.
