Texas State Optical

I’m kind of torn about what to rate this place. For starters, I called before I went to ensure they accepted my insurance and how much the office visit to get an exam for contacts would be including the $ 15 co-​pay. I was assured all I would owe was my co-​pay. Upon arriving at the office, before filling out any paperwork, I again asked how much the visit would be, and again I was assured only the co-​pay would be due.
The exam was terrific. Definitely one of the more thorough eye exams I have ever had. The doctor was polite, professional, and very helpful.
At check-​out, they tacked on an extra $ 50 for a «fitting fee» and I was expected to pay it, despite being assured all I would owe was my co-​pay. No one ever mentioned a «fitting fee» or any fees of any kind. I don’t think it was done maliciously or on purpose, but I do believe it was careless on behalf of the office to insist one amount will be owed then turn around and surprise you with an extra out-​of-​pocket fee.
