Allen Eye Associates

I have been a patient of Dr Lollar and Dr Wimbish for over 15 years now. Both of my sons have seen them since elementary school, as well (they are now 18 and 24). I have an eye condition that requires me to be seen more than the typical checkups and needs to be monitored a few times a year at the least (even more often during the first 5 years). I can honestly say I have NEVER had a bad experience, any issue, questioned their care or expertise in their industry, and most importantly, I have ALWAYS felt like they truly, truly CARE about me as a patient and a person.
Especially in today’s world, it is rare to find physicians that make you feel like they care more about your health and what is going to be the best decision for you, than they do about «making a dollar» and getting you in and out of their office.
If every profession in the healthcare industry could have physicians and staffs like Dr Lollar and Dr Wimbish … This world would be a much better place and everyone would be a LOT healthier and happier!

I have had a positive experience with the doctor (Dr. Wimbish), and that’s the only reason why this is not a 1-​star review… but I hate to do this because my low review is a reflection of his staff only! My appointment was almost a year ago, but totally forgot to review! So, here it is:
I will say that the billing was the most frustrating part of my experience. I have had several experiences in the past where I’ve been screwed over in independent doctor’s offices. Because of this, I only see doctors form UT Southwestern, or some major hospital. Scheduling sucks in these hospitals, but if you want to save hundreds of dollars you were meant to keep anyway…
I don’t know why I am always a victim, but it’s probably because it’s easier to screw over a minority (because we’re just dumb and non-​persistent, I guess). With my decent eye insurance I had, I didn’t expect to pay around $ 200, less or more. Before the doctor ever sees you, make sure to ask somewhere along the lines of, «Before I walk out this door, how much am I expected to pay?» After my appointment, I was appalled when the billing lady told me how much is due. It’s like someone stabbed me in the heart… I wish this office had the courtesy to tell me how much I’d pay before the appointed started. I wish I never stepped in here. I should’ve gone to Target Optical, like I have been doing for the past several years, with no complications.
Oh, and I tried ordering from 1−800-CONTACTS. Before this company could send me my order, they had to get verification from the doctor. They sent in a fax to verify with Allen Eye and after 2 business days, there was no correspondence. I called Allen Eye, and they said they received no fax to verify my prescription even after 1−800-CONTACTS kept sending them faxes. Hmm… I had a little back and forth communication between Allen Eye and 1−800-CONTACTS…but since the latter company wanted my money and I wanted my contacts, they just went ahead and shipped it.
I have a conspiracy to believe Allen Eye doesn’t want its patients to buy from a 3^rd party vendor.

I go here still as it was my eye doctor when I lived back home and it’s hands down the best. Incredible staff and Dr Wimbish does a great job of explaining any questions you have. Really happy with the pair of glasses I got here as well a while back. Would highly recommend if you live in the Allen area and are looking for an eye doctor. You won’t be disappointed!

This is an office that is very well run. Dr. Wimbish puts a lot of thought into each of his recommendations for my daughter and is interested in getting to know her as a person. The front office is very efficiently run and is very good about confirming my insurance benefits well in advance of the appointment. They do this as a courtesy to me as it is really my own responsibility to know so I appreciate them spending their time to save me some time. I highly recommend this office

Dr. Wimbish and Allen Eye Associates are excellent in every way. Dr. Wimbish has cared for me and my family for many years. He is thorough and sincere in every interaction. Dr. Wimbish takes plenty of time with his patients. He encourages my kids to take their health seriously and always finds a way to make a personal connection with them. We are not just customers, we are patients that receive the highest level of care. I can’t recommend Allen Eye enough!

This is one of my medical appointments that I wish I could go to more than once a year. The staff is great and always welcoming and friendly. Dr. Wimbish is one of the most sincere people I’ve met in my life, and I always appreciate how attentive he is to not only the health of my eyes, but also to me as a person. Very happy with the service I’ve received at Allen Eye Associates!
