Actually, I was very pleased with the service I was given. She explained to me my problem and told me how I can fix it. Now, my only problem is that I still don't know how to fix it because what I was prescribed according to the pharmacy has been recalled. Other than that, this has been an amazing experience and I'm hoping to get to fix my problem as soon as possible with their help. Now,thank you and continue with what you're doing.

Provider has been great in the past and I have never experienced an issue prior to this appointment. This visit was my last. I explained that I use my prescription posted in mychart to order glasses online (Warby Parker, Zenni Optical, etc.) and was told by provider that my method of ordering glasses was illegal and "shady." I felt it was a tactic to use their services for my eyeglasses, which is out of my budget. Then provider stated that I would need to "pay" to obtain my physical prescription from this visit despite that I already paid a copay and used my insurance to cover this visit. I declined and the prescription was not given to me nor is it located in my chart as it has been years prior. As an employee of UAMS, this experience was extremely disappointing and I will be seeking another provider for my future needs.

They were not able to provide me with the glasses that I needed because of my eyesight. I was not happy about that, but I don't think it was their fault. I just was expecting better results.

My appointment was at [TIME]. I did not even leave the front lobby until around [30 MINUTES PAST TIME]!! No one even apologize for being behind their schedule. Once I pointed out that they were 30 minutes behind schedule and now that made me late for what I had planned on doing! Her response was well it's only two of us here. But if I would have been 30 minutes late, I am sure I probably would've had to reschedule!!!!

I took the first available appointment, but it was about 3 weeks from my call, as I recall. Would have preferred a shorter time as my driving vision was impaired.

This was my first visit to the institution and I'm kicking myself for not getting here sooner. The only thing I didn't like was that my insurance wasn't accepted when I went to get glasses.
