Argos Vision & EyeCare Center

Hi,
I don’t quite pleased with my experience in Argo, that’s why I must write this letter. I bought a groupon voucher to use in there. That is $ 49 for eye exam with $ 200 credit to buy glasses. When the doctor was performing the exam, I felt he did everything too quick that he was not confirmed my degrees. When he wrote the priscription, he even changed the numbers. Moreover, he didn’t even check or write his name, just a vague signature. Since their glasses cost far more than $ 200, I decided not get glasses from them, then I bought a pair of glasse elsewhere with the prescription, the new place said they didn’t write pupil distance, I have to measure by myself. Then now I got my glasses, found out I see things in a really strange vision when I wear the glasses which makes me think it’s not my actual degrees at all! It’s like my $ 49 in you place and the money I paid for the new glasses is a total waste!

Doctor’s arn’t bad at all, maybe a little rushed and short on space, but all in all the service is to be expected from an eye care center.
My only complaint would be that waiting 30+ minutes after your original appointment time to be seen is ridiculous. That lost 2 stars right there.

The male doctor has a bad body ordor and stinks. He is very nasty and has a terrible attitude. He was coughing and tried to put his hands in my eye. He don’t use precautions and suppose to be a health provider. Please be careful when you go at Argos, they don’t like Americans I believe.

I visited Argos Vision eyecare center. I received a very satisfying service. My daughter also got fitted here with contact lenses. We will come here again definitely.

This ophthalmologist is good I highly recommend, dr trotter is very pleasant and very helpful with all the problems I was having with my eyes. The girl at the front desk is also friendly and helpful. The optician answer all my questions and had the frames that I was looking for. If you are looking for ray bans that’s the right place to go to.

Came here because of a Groupon for new glasses and contact prescription. They honored the deal without a problem and I didn’t have to wait at all to see the doc. I saw a doc and I can’t find her name now as she isn’t on their website. I was her last appointment and it was clear that she wanted to get my appointment over with. It was the quickest eye exam I’ve ever had and when I was given the new contacts they didn’t seem right. She didn’t check them after they were in and told me to schedule a follow up appointment. I called the next day to let them know that the prescription felt wrong and to ask if they could hold off on the glasses because I was pretty sure they’d have to be re-​done. I was told that glasses and contacts are different and they’d be fine. I went in today for the follow up and saw Dr. Selvin Gnanakkan and he was wonderful. He gave me a full exam and discovered an eye infection, wrote me a script for some drops and he fixed my prescription. Just as I thought, they have to redo the glasses. Now I have to go back again to get them. No apologies were offered. The doc gave me a new set of contacts and they are perfect. So, overall it worked out but the first doc’s error was frustrating, their handling of it was bad, and I won’t be back.

This is the worst place that i have ever encountered in my entire visit to doctor office. I took my father who was in wheelchair from silver spring, md to see Dr Elena but she called out the day of my appointment. No one from the office called back to say if it was ok to be seen by another doc (didn’t even get his name, a tall Indian looking doctor). I had my father ID’s, SS and a copy of hes insurance card. The receptionist had no clue what she was doing and told me a copy was ok and to bring the actual copy next visit. Then after an hour of waiting, a very inconsiderate, a very rude doctor came out, didn’t say hi and says,” i can’t see him without the actual insurance card” in such a rude way. I told him that I was told the copy of the insurance was ok until I bring the actual card on Monday. He automatically discriminate my father because he was on wheelchair and came from nursing home and didn’t want anything to do with him. Any humane doctor would try to accommodate and find ways to not return him. I was so upset leaving their crammed office (not even enough space to put a wheelchair in and out without bumping to all the chairs and people). He was so rude that he told me «get out of my office». If all failed, Karma will get him. After i offered to pay full price ($ 150 for the visit), i realized that he wasn’t worth my penny or he’s insurance money. Such unprofessional place and will never recommend this office for anyone. I should have read the reviews before i booked this office… lesson learned.

The ophthalmologist was extremely knowledgeable and great to talk to. The receptionist is one of the best I have encountered in any business and was very helpful and lovely attitude! I’m so happy I finally got a good eye doctor! Highly recommend.
