Joseph Rudick MD

Dr. Rudick is my eye doctor and performed lasik surgery on me recently.
As of writing, there are three reviews for him, all bad, saying they had to wait a while to see the doctor. In my experience, I didn’t have to wait any longer than I would at another doctor’s office. Someone mentioned that Carmen is rude — that’s complete baloney. She was really nice to me, and was more than willing to walk me through the lasik procedure.
As for the surgery, I had –3.5 in both eyes before lasik. I don’t know what that computes to in 20/​whatever, but after the surgery I now have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision. I can see better than I’ve ever seen before in my life, my eyes are healing very quickly, and Dr. Rudick was very gentle through the entire procedure.
He has a nice bedside manner, he does top quality work, and his office has never made me wait an exorbitant amount of time or been rude to me. Who knows, maybe they turned the ship around between now and the last review posted here. At any rate, I’m really very grateful for my brand new eyes and I give a lot of credit to Dr. Rudick’s skill as a doctor and surgeon.

I will never recommend this Ophthalmologist to anyone instead I will tell everyone not to go here. First I had an over an hour wait. I went in for an annual eye checkup, which is covered by my insurance. The front desk called my insurance to check I was covered and told me that you’re only covered for an annual eye check. Then she told me they would charge me a visitation fee, which not every office charges but they do. I told them I can just go to another ophthalmologist, who will not charge me the extra visitation fee that my insurance doesn’t cover. She insisted I see the doctor and she would «waive» the fee since I’m a new patient. At this point she knew I came only for an annual eye checkup and I also told Dr. Rudick I was here only for an annual eye checkup. A couple days later I get sent a $ 300 bill for an annual eye checkup. I call my insurance and they tell me I did not get an annual eye checkup, which I specifically asked for. They gave me services, which I never asked for! This office is all about making money. They do not care about the patients instead are out to make money and bill patients for services never asked for. I will fight this bill because it is unethical to be misleading patients and rendering services they never asked for and bill them for it. I will make sure I let people know this office is not about one-​on-​one patient relationship rather a money business. Dr. Rudick was in a rush to perform a checkup and never had time to ask me about my history or any problems I was having. He was too busy trying to check all of his 10 patients scheduled at once. I know one of the other friends also had the same experience with them.
I would never recommend this Opthamologist to anyone.

Long wait time, unbelievably rude office staff (Carmen). I thought the visit with the doctor was OK but now a month later, my purse containing my two prescription eyedrops was stolen and when I called the office to replace them, they said they never prescribed me anything, but wouldn’t open my record to double check because it was «put away». It was only a month ago! Scary that a doctor’s office would not have record of two prescriptions that my pharmacy had filled for me.

I got my appointment pretty quick. Thats the only postive thing I can say about this doctor. Maybe because I paid cash. When I got there, I waited for about 40 mins to get in. Dr Joseph Rudick examined my eyes but didn’t seem to find out what’s going on. When I asked him questions, he didn’t give me satisfactory answer and seem reluctant to answer any more questions. Look impatient and didn’t listen enough. He didn’t treat my problem and in fact referred me to another doctor. When I asked him to prescribe for my contact lens, he asked me if I brought the contact lens boxes. Huh? I thought he should know. I never have to do that with other doctor. Poor diagnose and don’t listen to the patient. He has a lot of patients but does not mean he could just be in a hurry and overlook the patient’s problem.
