This was my 2nd year and experience…
This was my 2nd year and experience receiving eye care from America's Best. I've worn contacts for about 50yrs and never experienced such unprofessional customer service and rude interaction from an employee, towards myself the customer. It all started when I signed the paperwork authorizing treatment a month ago. I specifically asked the young girl at the front desk if there was an extra charge for the contact lense exam-(3 x's). There were other employees around who heard me ask, and another woman at the front desk. Some were on there phones, or having conversations with each other. No one bothered to confirm or deny any additional charges might be added. I had a virtual exam, which I later realized wasn't as thorough as having the doctor on sight, because I had issues with blurryness with the temporary lenses. As I was checking out I'm told there's a $40 charge for the contact lense exam-when I was told 3x's there would be no charge. One of the young workers took it upon herself to take charge and address my dissatisfaction with now having to pay when I was told no charge. She was very rude and unprofessional in a number of ways with her responses to me. I had to wait a week longer for the temporary contact lenses, because they didn't have my phone number correct in the system. The girl was adamant that I put the wrong number in the system, and made rude comments to me regarding so when I picked up the samples. I called after a couple days to say I had blurryness in the one eye. I told the rude girl I wanted to see an actual doctor not virtual to resolve the issue. She gave me an appt at another store, which was available sooner than the original store. Today, a half hour before my appt, I get a call from the receptionist telling me their doctor didn't feel comfortable seeing me and the appt was being cancelled. She said it was due to the comments the rude girl put in the notes about me!! Wow!! I guess the customer is never right anymore!! Yet if it wasn't for the customer they wouldn't have a job! I filled a grievance with my ins co. and tomorrow I will be doing so with America's Best corporate office, against the rude girl, the doctor and receptionist at the other store location. Now, in order to get a correct lense reading I'll have to pay out of pocket, because some rude and unprofessional girl blackballed me with America's Best stores. I see now that they only have about a 2.5 rating for customer service satisfaction. I wish I'd looked at the before!
