Pickering Terri, MD

Dr Pickering gets my vote for the best doctor in my lifetime. As another review stated you never feel rushed. Her knowledge is second to none and her demeanor is always pleasant.

Worst doctor ever! Misdiagnosed me with an epidemic eye disease! I went to this office because my eyes were mildly bothering me for weeks and I thought it might have been more than contact irritation. First optometrist examined me and said my eyes were a little red and I should rest them and not wear contacts for a few days. For a second opinion she brought in Terri Pickering. This doctor immediately freaked out and told me I had something called EKC, without telling me what that meant. First she made me tell her everything I touched in the waiting room so they could sterilize it then told me I should follow up with a cornea specialist to make sure I didn’t have any scarring. Terri basically shooed me out the door, told me I couldn’t go into work for a week, and sent me off with a «prescription.» It was all I could do not to burst into tears right then. Later I found out that 1) EKC clears up on its own 2) the expensive steroid drops she said I «needed» were only to help inflammation and are not a cure for the conjunctivitis 3) She was wrong all along! I never had it said my cornea specialist (a real doctor in my opinion). Of course I sent a fire alarm to all my roommates and coworkers, threw out all my good makeup, and practically sanitized and washed my whole apartment.
Bad doctor with bad medical judgement. AVOID!!!

After searching for for an eye doctor for a year, I finally found Dr Pickering. She’s very knowledgeable, friendly and never makes you feel rushed.

Dr. Pickering is the sweetest doctor ever. I saw her on Tue for a vision exam, she made the whole experience very pleasant. She explained all the tests to me as she was performing them and asked me multiple times if I had questions. Luckily I don’t have to visit her anytime in the next 3 – 5 years, but I would recommend her to anyone else who needs an eye doctor.

I was a patient of hers back in the day when I had health insurance (5 yrs ago) and she was in a practice close to Powell St. I was glad that I found her in Unilocal because she deserves a praise. I have sight one eye only (monovisual) since birth so I have seen many eye doctors through out my life. I just want to say that my experience at her office was the best. Her team and her were very kind, and thorough (they were detailed and did not rush me out the door). Even, after my insurance expired when I needed a document for DMV she sent me the paper without any fuss or diffuculty. I was so grateful. You know sometimes to get one measly paper one have to talk to twenty people to get it. Well, not in her office, her staff was really cool.
