Brier Creek Vision Care

Well, I was there two and half hours for an appointment. Eyes were dilated. Got a stern lecture from Dr. Patel about wearing contacts to sleep in despite the fact my previous eye doctor recommended the brand I was wearing to sleep in giving I work 24 hour shifts. I switched to the contacts she recommend and didn’t have good luck. The prescription was also off as my eyes did not get «better» in one eye and in fact the original prescription I had, I had clearer vision. I called back to see about getting the original brand in my original prescription. Pending update of review after return call, I’d say I’ve had much better and less argumentative doctors elsewhere. I’ll update if things get better.

It had been a few years since I’ve had an eye exam and I figured it was about time to get my peepers checked. I called requesting an appointment for a new patient and they had one available within the week, which was fantastic. A receptionist emailed me the forms that I needed to complete and I was able to fill them out, scan them, and send them back to her. I really appreciated the ease of the new patient forms.
I arrived a few minutes early to my appointment to ensure that I didn’t have any paperwork. They made a copy of my insurance card, and got me started with the essential check-​up stuff right on time. The retinal picture machine is a pretty helpful technology, it’s a bummer that insurance doesn’t usually cover it ($ 39 as of June 2015). From my retinal picture, I learned that I’ve got a freckle on my eye which likely isn’t an issue but worth following up on. Definitely wouldn’t have learned that without a retinal scan. They don’t do the dreaded ‘puff test’ for eye pressure, but instead use this device that taps your eye softly and quickly about 5 times. I’m someone who is sensitive about my eyes, but the device worked like a charm with no pain or irritation.
Dr. Patel was very patient and took time to explain everything she was doing, which I strongly enjoy. It’s nice to have a doctor that can explain things to you in a simple manner, rather than someone who spends no time explaining at all or is too academic to be helpful.
I got my eyes dilated and checked out some of the glasses they had available while I waited for the dilation to occur. I’m usually a Warby Parker glasses guy, but they had some impressive frames around the $ 200 price point.
Overall I would highly recommend Brier Creek Vision Care for any eye related needs. They were prompt, helpful, and conveniently located for me.

If you are looking for a quality Eye Care center in the Brier Creek area Brier Creek Vision Care at 10 207 Cerny, St is the place to go. They have a very nice office and Dr Durham is extremely professional and very qualified. She takes the time to explain what she is doing and doesn’t make you wait. My recent appointment was at 8:30 in the morning and I was in an examination room on time and my examine was complete in about 1 hour.
They are a full service Eye Care facility with an optometry department, but there is no high pressure to purchase your eye glasses or contacts from them.
I highly recommend them
