After reading these negative reviews, wow! Didn't change my mind in the least for making another appointment with him. I have never had a bad experience since I've been going. I think the problem is with the negative people leaving the bad reviews. You can't please everyone.

I have NEVER been treated SO rudely as I was by an optician (Mary) in my ENTIRE life. I was belittled, talked down to, and humiliated by an arrogant, pathetic know it all, woman. This is the SECOND time I've been treated that way at your vision center. I will NEVER return. They show no respect for the customer having HALF a brain. To get in between a conversation I was having with my husband and cutting me off and attempting to correct what I was saying and she didn't even know what I was going to say. This happened over and... read more

"As good as it gets" describes both my experience with this practice, and Dr. Poovey himself. I have been in to his office twice now for yearly eye exams, and I have been so impressed with his level of professionalism and knowledge. His expertise is absolutely top notch, and he's got to be a genius at multi-tasking, because he is paying strict attention to every little thing about your vision, and at the same time, he can be chatting with you about some other topic entirely. I saw him primarily for contact lenses, and the RX... read more

Dr Poovey is awesome. Was refered to him by a co-worker. He put my wife in several differnent brands of contacts until she found some that worked great for her. He has be the only one that has been able to find some that work with her sensitve eyes. Took a few weeks of trial and error, but I was only charged for the one contact eye exam. His prices are affordable. He don't take any insurance (due to he'd have to charge more in general believe it or not. Got to love insurance companies.)but will help you file paperwork for yo... read more

I have gone to Dr Poovey in excess of 20 years. I have moved away from him several times due to insurance, but I always end up coming back. I no longer care what my insurance company says, I will go no where else. Time to get an appointment, wait time and his care for his patients is not matched by anyone! Definitely the place to have your eyes taken care of !!!!

Do not visit this doctor! Awful experience! I would have given no stars, but that's not an option. Gave no information about exam, prescribed the wrong eyeglass prescription and then when confronted, he refused to correct it! I will never go back here again!
