      Do NOT go to Clarkson ********* I went there a year ago for a follow-up visit and returned unopened medication. I also purchased something additional to assist with my watering eye issue. While standing there the doctor who I have seen for 20 years said "there is NO charge for today". 6 months later I got a $50 bill. I called the office they said we will take care of it. Then, 3 months later they sent me to a collection company. If I had a bill, I would have paid it while I was there, LIKE I HAVE FOR 20 YEARS. This year, they called me and said if you don't pay your bill we will cancel you as a patient. Both my husband and I are going to another practice. GOOD. BYE.....Fraud in practice in my opinion! Already had a Class Action Law Suit...

      We apologize for the experience that this patient had. While trying to research her issue we were unable to find her record in our computer system using her name or the email that she submitted this review with. We are happy to investigate further if the patient would give us a call at our corporate offices at ************.

      We apologize for the experience that you have had at the Warrenton location. I have passed your review along to the office manager at the location so that she can reach out to you to help get your problem with your existing glasses resolved. It appears that the order for the prescription sunglasses that you mentioned was placed about 16 days after your original order for your dress glasses, and that would have been received by our lab at the end of January. Unfortunately due to the custom nature of the product that we offer, glasses can take ***** business days to come into our offices barring any quality issues or breakages at the lab. The office should have kept you aware of any such issues, and we will have the office manager reach out to you with an update and a resolution imminently. We thank you for reaching out and for the opportunity to fix this for you!

      What a surprise!! I am charged $199 just for being a new patient, not including the eye exam. All I went there for was the eye exam. I looked all over their website and never found anywhere they charge you for being a new patient. What a rip. So if you are thinking of going there, don't.

      Have been going to CEC for years with good results. For my annual checkup this year I used the ******** location for the first time. Experience with optometrist was great. After wearing hard or gas permeable lenses for 40 years I decided to try out soft lenses as the doctor said soft lenses had been much improved for people with astigmatisms. Unfortunately, they did not work out as the near vision was not corrected enough so I called and ordered new gas permeable lenses. Called back a week later to check the status and order and doctor had not signed off. Just called again after another two weeks to see when the contacts would be in. Once again, not signed off by the doctor and said they would get the doctors sign off and order. Hi would highly recommend not using this location if you need any support after the time of your visit.

      On 11/14/2022 I had an appointment at this location and I was treated very poorly by 2 workers . I was dissatisfied with my service I had questions and concerns and the workers was very dismissive of me to black women . They were very rude to and when I ask the lady question about my paperwork about my insurance she replied she trying to get me in out. Her tone was very hostile the she threw my glasses these were my own I brought in to the store , and stated she felt threatened after I asked could she please not belittle me Im only asking questions. After she threw my glasses and paperwork she said I dont have to help you Im not help get up out of here. The other lady proceeded to say she is not going to help me either shes standing with her co worker . Next they both was yelling get out this store so I sat there one of the lady grab some scissors and act like she was about to stab me the other came towards me pushing and then they sent the police to my home only because of my information on the paperwork. I would never shop here again now I have to go to court all because of these ignorant women who didnt want to do their job and did me a disservice be aware of these types of offices they want to get you in and out they dont care about the customer health or anything. I cant believe this happened go to another Location this was in ************ ** off ************ I shouldve know better because this is the area where the situation with ******************* beware .

      I visited Clarkson Eyecare on August 5, 2021 for them to redo the glaucoma test. Please note that I have vision insurance and they accepted it at the initial visit. When I went back to retest they said that the Vision Insurance could not be used again and that I had to use my Health insurance. Please note at the time of my visit they said the cost of the visit was $99.00 and that I would be responsible for a 70.00 for a co-insurance. I explained to them that my health care plan did not cover eye exams but that I have a Vision Plan from ****** ********** which they had accepted a month before for my annual checkup, the receptionist said that my Vision Plan wouldn’t cover the visit and that I had to pay the 70.00 co-pay. Fast forward months later I receive a bill from Clarkson saying that the visit was 233.40 and that insurance did not cover the visit. How did the visit go from 99.00 to 233.40. Despite the fact that I have called Clarkson over 5 times during the past six months and spoke to *******, ******** and several other people who assured me that they were short staffed but that someone would call me back, no one has ever called me back, instead they forward me to a collection agency. I have a copy of the receipt dated August 5, 2021 indicating that the visit was 99.00 and that I paid 70.00 co pay. I gave the collection agency all the information and they got back to me a month later stating that I had to pay 163.40. This is ridiculous. The total cost of the visit was 99.00 in which I already paid 70.00, at best I should only have a balance of 29.00 due. I am so upset with Clarkson, I have the receipt but that doesnt seem to mean anything. I will never use Clarkson again.

      i have been waiting weeks without any updates on the status of my contact lenses. When I call I get an answering machine and have yet to get a return call. I go on a trip in a few days and relied on Clarkson to do their job appropriately so I can see while on vacation. Ive been double and triple wearing my DAILY WEAR contacts out of necessity due to not having my prescription I paid for. At very least having someone call and update me would be great, but I cant even seem to get that. The ******************, **** location has deplorable customer service.

      We apologize for the lack of communication and the delayed order that this patient has experienced. Typically contact lenses for our patients come into the office in 5-7 business days, but the delay this patient has experienced is well beyond that. We absolutely understand the frustration that it is to not only have blurred vision, but to simply not know where your order is. The district manager and the office manager of this location have been alerted to this patient's need and will be checking on the status of the patient's order as well as trying to source contact lenses from another location to help the patient until the order can either be located or replaced by our vendor. We thank this patient for his feedback, and look forward to helping him.

      We apologize for the issues that this patient has had getting an appointment with us. Unfortunately it looks like she had two charts in our computer system which has caused some technical difficulties on the back end for us. We are working with our IT department to fix this issue so we can streamline communication to this patient. Additionally, we don't see where this patient has scheduled 3 times, just an appointment that was scheduled for a few weeks ago and one that is on the books as an upcoming appointment. We have contacted the office manager of this location to reach out to the patient to make sure we have correct information in the sytem for the patient and to cancel the upcoming appointment if it is no longer needed.

      South County | ****************** **************************************. Terrible Experience.I arrived for my appointment that I had made weeks before. I was told that my slot had been given to someone else because I had not responded to their voicemail message. I never received any message. I would have responded if I had received it. My appointment was given away without my knowledge or consent. They acted like they were doing me a huge favor by working me in even though they were the ones who cancelled my appointment I should have walked out but I didn't. After I pick up my glasses, I will never go back to Clarkson Eyecare ***************************

      We apologize for the experience that this patient had. Because out system pre-appoints former patients one year out for routine exams, we have no way of knowing if an appointment date or time will work for a patient, so we ask them through text or phone call multiple times to confirm. Likewise, appointments are in high demand so if we do not have a response from a patient after attempting contact with them, it may be canceled for no response. We are happy that the office could accommodate this patient to be seen on the pre-appoint day and will reach out to her to make sure that her information is correct in the computer system so that she is reachable when her order comes in to the office. We thank this patient for her feedback and the opportunity to double check preferred contact methods in our system so that we can keep communication with her open.

      Mind you a prescription was filled about two years ago. That being said, I picked up my glasses the day before I was leaving on a trip at the Fairview Heights store only to find out that both pairs were given the wrong prescription. I had to drive 2 1/2 hours to find a Clarkson to take care of that problem once I got where I was going to. Since then Ive popped them in at least 4-5 times myself in both pairs and had a Clarkson store put back in regular glasses three times at the store hoping the problem would be fixed. I will never step foot in one of their stores again. The people working there were fine but quite evident that the doctor did not know how to do an eye exam because when I put my glasses on the first time I was blind and quite evident either the lenses are not fitted properly or the frames arent made properly.Avoid this place like the plague
