Our daughter was scheduled for a complete annual test and we were told that her test couldn't be done because there were too many people ahead of her after asking to speak with a manager. We were then told that she wasn't saying because the machine was broke and she had to be rescheduled for the following day for this particular test.

My visit was very delightful, very professional, and complete. I don't see where you need to improve anything so far. Everyone treated me very good, and I don't have anything negative or derogatory to say about Dr. Bollinger. She's a very good doctor, and I appreciate her, and I trust her. her opinion. Thank you.

The intern doctor was better than the actual glaucoma doctor. He was patient with our son. Dr. Bollinger seemed to write us off and finish our appointment quickly because our six year old wasn't wanting to have his eye checked. She normally uses other methods but this time she went straight to referring us to another doctor. Very disappointed with how today's visit went. She has had my son his whole Life and today was the first appointment I felt like she just didn't even want to see or try to address his eye. The pressure wasn't taken properly so I don't know what to believe as far as next step of treatment. Left with a referral and not really any answers.

The clinical care I thought was very appropriate. The time lapse when I got there from the time I was scheduled till the time I was seen was 45 minutes. That was entirely too long. And the length of time between the different treatments was entirely too long. It should not take three hours to see the physician. Thank you.

I had an appointment with Dr. K. Bollinger. My doctor was very informative and showed concern about my health. Dr. Bollinger was very thorough in examining my eyes, patiently answered all my questions and gave useful suggestions for my eye care. However, the facility's first contact at the reception desk was cold, did not greet, or look up. In her place, a robot would have been better trained. The waiting area was swamped.
