I was quoted $50 for a contact and glasses prescription when I booked. Instead, I paid $65 for a contact fitting, $90 for a glasses fitting, and $390 for some other fee.

His admin Leonard was rude and disrespectful, blaming the office's problem on me.

I had a vision screening and refraction with an optometrist, which were fine. But two visits to the Retina Clinic resulted in one wait of over an hour and another of almost two hours, so I won’t be going back. Dr. Movahedan seems excellent, and it’s not his fault how the department handles the clinic scheduling, but this is no way to run a clinic.

Had a in person consultation with a doctor (Mehdi Tavakoli), and left a note at reception and multiple calls about how much a non-insured procedure would cost.

While it could have been worse, these basic repeated failures are inexcusable.
