Carolinas Centers For Sight- 2nd Loop

I had not been to the eye Doctor and like 2 years! My sister refer me to this eye doctor! I got there early and did not have to wait until my appointment time! I was taken back!! I love the fact that my eyes did not have to be dilated! That was awesome! Then the doctor came in and worked his magic and I got my new prescription and picked my new glasses and paid and left! They explained that they would call me once my glasses were ready for pickup! I would recommend them to anyone!

Office staff and Dr Hamill are excellent. Worked me in same day due to I was having some trouble. The staff has continued to be very helpful and friendly. The office is extremely clean and inviting. Will certainly be continuing my care with First Vision Group.

Dr. Bhimani is a wonderful doctor. My glasses prescription was perfect and the staff was very knowledgeable. I ordered my glasses through their optical department and was very pleased. I highly recommend this office for all of your vision needs.

The Doctor was very rude at the get go. Staff super nice, but will never use this place again as long as Dr. H is there. Never have I or my husband experienced this type of rudness for a simple eye exam.

Hello, This is the best place to for your eyecare. From day one I could see and feel the difference of professionalism in this amazing team. I am glad I chosed Carolina Center for Sight. Dr. Bhimani, has the heart of care for our eyes. She is patient, sweet and she listens. Thanks to the entire staff for taking of me.

I waited until I saw another eye doctor (2nd opinion...AND got the OTHER doctors eyeglasses before I wrote this review) Dr. Hamill rushed through my eye exam and then sent me to his Optical area to pick out glasses within 5 minutes of his walking in the exam room. He told me that I needed new glasses before he could "complete" my yearly exam. What a racket !! I told the other doctor about this and he laughed. I also asked for my prescription and left because if you ask about the doctor and his staff can not make eye contact with you...have a nervous laugh or just have nothing to say...you need to go elsewhere.

They won't give you your full prescription if you dont buy glasses from them. Wasted my time and my 1 a year exam with them last year used to be first vision eye group or something. I've never been charged an additional fee for the pupillary distance on my prescription for glasses because that's what my insurance pays for. They changed the name of the business now. Which is unfortunately why I wasted my time this morning scheduling an appointment. Name may have changed but the practice remains the same.

All staff are very friendly, I agree to all other reviewers. But I think they are very unprofessional. I don't recommend this group to others. And here is what I experienced. The entire vision test is: "Can you read this?", "Yes.". Done the vision test. That's not how a vision test should be done!!! I questioned them, and they said that since I am wearing glasses already, they just need to check if my current prescription is good. I actually agree with this answer. But the problem is that without a thoroughly vision test, how can you know if my vision got worse or better??? I am telling you, after I finished grad school, (maybe because I don't need to read paper and do experiments day and night any more) my vision got better! Of course they did eye pressure test and fill the form with number 12. I asked what does 12 mean? Good or Bad? The lady said 12 is my eye pressure. Then I asked what's the unit? She asked me "What is unit?". This is mind blowing question already. But I still patiently explained "you need a measurement unit to explain a pressure. For example, psi, Pa, bar, mmhg etc. They are unit of pressure". The answer I got is "I don't know what you asked. The machine shows 12. There is no unit for this." I stopped questioning. I don't know which medical school she went that only taught her how to use the machine but did teach her why she is doing it. That machine only has a ON/OFF button and a TEST button. I can teach a 4-year old kid to use this thing in an hour. By the way, they didn't tell me all these results until I asked and signed a information disclosure form. Then they mailed me a copy of exam record. The hand writing is not read-able and obviously it's for doctor's records. I went back and asked explanation. I got above mentioned answers and "we usually don't tell patient if there is nothing wrong". But I am telling you, I have the right and deserved to know results of my own eye exam! Also for your information, their "crafting lab" took 6 weeks to make my glasses. It looks like putting a lens on a frame is really a rocket science. After all these things, I stopped asking any question, grab the glasses and left. I knew it's pointless to arguing with them and I am not going back for sure. They should go back to medical school and learn the knowledge better.
