Dr. B.
I have some concerns. As we discussed when I had my appointment, I am increasingly concerned about medical costs. I have observed a continued collapse in the difference between opthamolegists and optometrists. The issue is the duplication of services and thus costs.
I had just--as I told you-- completed my yearly eye medical exam. My exam in your office was thorough, but I wonder, particularly in that last expensive medical test, was an unnecessary duplication in both tests and thus insurance costs. If we are to control the escalation in medical costs, unneeded tests would be a good place to start.
I have some other minor issues. Three times you mentioned a Dr. other than mine to whom I should go for any cataract surgery. Why, and is there a relationship between the two practices?
I was offered a sample, from some drug company of a nutritional supplement. Again, is there some relationship with that company?
I noticed on your web site that Inter valley is not listed as one of you insurance providers. So how was I covered? I will also inquire of them.
I paid $415 just for the new lenses using my old frames. This strikes me as a bit high. I should have reread my insurance policy to know that I was not due new lenses for another several months--if indeed my insurance applies in your practice.
The office visit was fine, and the exam thorough. As I told you, I write about medical costs and have the above questions.

Thanks for your review. I sent you a detailed email answering your questions and will post this short synopsis for others reading this review. I enjoyed our discussion on your research in the healthcare field and the articles you have written. Yes, there is overlap between the two eye professions. We are providers for vision care on your vision plan which is separate from your medical plan. Your vision plan is unique in that it does allow us to provide some medical, non-surgical, The retinal imaging we did is a very cost effective test. We frequently find pathology that changes the course of our treatment or recommendations. We do not have any financial interest in the practices of any surgeon on your plan. I recommend the Dr. that I believe has the most experience for the procedure you need and has the best outcomes. We just want happy patients! We do make a few dollars per bottle of retinal supplements we sell. We also make it very clear that that particular brand was recommended by the retinal specialists we work with and is available at pharmacies also. You were not eliglible for any benefits so your new lenses were ledgered at retail prices and you added a premium ant-reflection coating to the transitions lenses. Without those two add-ons your lenses would have cost much less. Please let me know if you were not informed that you were not eligible at the time you placed your order. Thanks for choosing us for your eyecare needs! Dr. B

Was seen rather quickly after arrival. Brad was excellent as usual and examination was thorough and I got my prescription for sunglasses.

everything went well with my visit. I always like how all is explained to you and if you need meds they give you a sample to get started right a way. Dr. Johannsen checked vision and was very thing so I felt comfortable that it was just a slight infection and all would be fine after drops for a week. love this office and staff

My experience at Claremont Optometry is the worst experience I have ever had at any optometry center. My first appointment there, the Dr. showed up 45 minutes late. In his defense, he was told the appointment started at 2:30, so in his eyes he was only 15 minutes late. However, they told me my appointment was at 2:00, so in actuality, he was 45 minutes late. I didn't even stay for the 2nd appointment a week later (a follow-up to check the fit of the trial contacts). I was there 5 minutes early for my appointment and ended up waiting for 30 minutes until I finally told them I couldn't wait any longer since I had Easter plans with my dad (this was the day before Easter). When I came in to get my glasses, I had to wait around 20 minutes for one of the employees to show up because no one could find my paperwork. When my contacts came in, my husband went to pick them up. When I got home, I noticed that the 4 boxes were all for my right eye. None for my left. I called and the person I talk to on the phone was very nice, saying she was going to hold them behind the counter for me. My husband went to change them out on Monday and got there 5 minutes before 5, and the doors were already locked. When I came in on Wednesday, the lady at the front desk acted like the contacts being wrong was MY fault and was incredibly rude. I will never return to Claremont Optometry.
