Blanchard Eyecare

Didn’t see the Dr until 45 minutes after my appointment was scheduled. I’m not sure why they even bother to schedule people when they can’t even keep it. Exam took 10 minutes and was as to be expected.

Dr. Angela Blanchard may have had a bad day but my prescription was wrong in one eye and I knew it. Two attempts to get it corrected failed. I was told the discrepancy was due to cataracts and I was certain it was not. The next day I got a follw-​up appointment with a substitute optometrist who got the prescription correct. I now have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision in both eyes. Also the cost was a little high in my opinion. Too many charges are not revealed sufficiently in advance. The explanation for the charges consists of twisted information that makes you wonder what question you asked.

Doc and assistants were very helpful and easy to work with. When I tore a contract a few days before an event and didn’t have a spare, about 6 months after my visit, they were kind enough to spot me one. Wouldn’t even let me pay for it. They also emailed my rx to make it easier to order more.

I would not recommend Blanchard Eyecare, unless you like to be overcharged or wait 30 – 60 minutes past your appointment. Recently, I went to Dr. Angela Blanchard for an annual eye exam and wasn’t seen until 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment. After determining my prescription, she noticed my eye was irritated and prescribed me an eye drop. She wanted me to refrain from wearing my contacts for a week and come back for a follow up. I paid the office and was informed this appointment cost more since she discovered my eye was inflamed during the exam.
A week later I come back for appointment #2, this time I had to wait an hour past my appointment. As I go in the back room, she mentions how she saw me «a year ago», I had to correct her and informed her I was here last week. ANOTHER eye exam was performed (I was confused because I thought this was a follow up to check the status of my previously inflamed eye). Once done with the appointment I was charged a second fee for my unnecessarily repeated exam. I demanded an explanation from the staff as I believed this was a follow-​up but instead of successfully answering my question, I was informed about how my insurance policy works. After I left the office, the staff scheduled me another appointment without my consent. I feel as Blanchard Eyecare has ripped me off for double charging me and I will never receive another eye examination from this location again.

I was blind and now I see. Ok, I guess thats a bit dramatic, but I have been seeing Tony for the last two years and he is really efficient. And I did walk out of his office yesterday being able to read with out my reading glasses and that did seem a lot like a small miracle to me. He and his staff have great bed side manner. If you are looking for an eye docter in the Sunset Valley area, Tony is your man.

Looking for a great eye doctor? Dr. Troy rocks! Super awesome staff, always professional, caring and willing to go the extra mile.
