When I received my bill I was charged $50 for a refraction test. My insurance does not cover refraction and I knew that. However, I was never asked if I wanted a refraction test but was charged for it anyway. When I called the billing office they said that I would have to had agreed to it which I never did. So they basically charged me for something and never asked my permission. So if you go to see this doctor be sure you get all the information upfront before you go in for the testing.

I have been a patient of Dr. Beeve's for many years, and he and everyone at his clinic are not only highly professional and efficient at what they do, their caring attitude and warmth makes each visit a joyful experience. I highly recommend Dr. Beeve for your eye care needs!

Dr Beeve is very patient and will answer all questions and explain in detail. Dr. Beeve will also discuss and explain any medication that is prescribed. Phone calls are always promptly returned.

The technician and Dr. Breve are always professional and thorough. My only issue was my contact lenses prescription was changed and I had told them I needed to be able to use them for both distance and also have enough flexibility that I could see to do normal activities without adding readers. They prescribed a strong distance lens that again didn't work for me as they had last year and I had to get another prescription. The technician was helpful and we got the problem straightened out but took extra effort.

Dr. Beeve and his staff are very professional and friendly. I had cataract surgery a few months ago and it went great. Had a minor mishap at home on a Sunday, was able to talk to Dr. Beeve within 3 minutes, he walked me through the mitigation steps calmly and resolved the issue. The ophthalmic assistant is very well trained and the office staff are super efficient. Appointment reminders by text, email and phone are very helpful.

From the get go the staff were noticeably friendly and helpful - and I appreciated their insouciance too! Dr Beeve and his assistant are exceptional, I felt my condition was thoroughly understood and any questions were answered to complete satisfaction. Ever been to a Doctor and felt you were talking to a brick wall or they "already knew what was wrong with you"? I have in the past, , but you will definitely not find that here! Very glad to have found Dr Beeve. Absolutely the best.

Great experience. Dr. Beeve is very knowledgeable. He took care of my problem easily. The front office was courteous and scheduling was easy. Wait time was less than I usually expect in a busy doctor's office.

Very nice office. Pleasant and helpful office staff. First time I met Dr Beeve. He seems good but I didn't challenge him much, so cannot be too complementary or critical.

Just had my lasik surgery and im beyond amazed at the results. Beyond the amazing results from the procedure, scheduling was convenient and flexible too. Dr. Beeve's office is also very accessible, plenty of parking and the staff is just wonderful!

I have been a patient for approximately 20 years and NO ONE is better! Last Friday I had an emergency. Something blew into my eye and I couldn't get it out and it hurt like the tip of a nail. I called telling the most-professional staff it was an emergency and they got me in immediately. As usual, I was treated quickly and kindly. The staff and Dr. Beeve took the BEST care of me and Dr. Beeve removed a piece of gravel that had lodged inside my upper eye lid. I, as usual, felt safe and relieved.

This isn't the first time I've had an emergency and gotten in quickly. I am grateful beyond measure. If there were 10 stars that still wouldn't be enough to show my appreciation for the entire office that works seamlessly to heal and care for me.

My family have trusted Scott with our eyes for decades. He's a very experienced hand, and we have the ultimate confidence in his surgerical ability, my lens replacement is the best thing that's happened to me. Scott is also on time steady and has the best office staff. I know dozens or hundreds of his patients and everyone raves about his knowledge and care.

Scott Beeve is THE BEST! My former opthalmologist, the late Dr. Fein, worked out of Beeves' office prior to his retirement. I was fortunate to get his recommendation for Dr. Beeves. My annual eye exam is always PAINLESS.

Just had my LASIK surgery done yesterday and I'm already on here able to write this review. Dr. Beeve and his team are insanely good at their job. LASIK sounded like a daunting surgery to me a while ago but after doing it with Dr. Beeve I would never hesitate to recommend it to anyone especially with him. This was by far the easiest surgery to get through for me. Dr. Beeve and his team made me so comfortable the whole time and I didn't feel a thing through the whole process.

Please be sure you put your drops and follow his directions so you can recover as fast as possible. I drove myself to the check up today because my eyes are already better than my glasses were. Hiiiiighly recommended!

As a first time patient of Dr. Beeve's, I have to say I am impressed! The entire visit felt very COVID-safe and the staff was very welcoming and helpful! Dr. Beeve was great and I was able to get a prescription for new glasses and contact lenses in the same visit! Their office had a nice selection of frames, and although didn't have the exact frames I was looking for, I found a great alternative.

I wish I had gotten the name of the young man who helped me with my frames because he was super helpful! He let me know that I could bring in my own frames in the future if I wanted to. All in all I had a great visit! The only complaint I had was getting too many notifications/texts/emails to confirm my appointment. I had to confirm my appointment at least 4 different times for some reason. But, I won't knock off any points for that.

I got LASIK at Beeve Vision Care Center, and I am very pleased with the results! The team did a great job of giving me detailed information of what to expect and answered all my questions. As for the LASIK procedure itself - this was relatively straight forward and simple. The most important part is the self-care the first week following the surgery.

I think it takes 3 months to fully heal, but I was good to go the next day. I got LASIK because of eye allergies I developed to contacts/contact solution. About a month after LASIK, I had an allergic reaction to over the counter eye drops that I was using for about a year. Dr. Beeve helped to identify my allergy and helped treat the reaction. All is well.

The office cancelled my long scheduled eye surgery on the same day as the surgery after providing totally incorrect pre-surgery information. I have been a patient of Dr. Beeve for a number of years for ordinary eye care and the interactions have been fine. Several years ago Dr. Beeve recommended eyelid surgery but I was unable to find a time with a clear calendar for the several week recovery period.

I finally found an opening and scheduled the procedure for today several months ago. I did not receive any followup information from the office as the appointment approached. Therefore I initiated a call to the office to confirm the time of the appointment (I had been given a day but not a time) and to inquire about any pre-surgery actions. I was told that there were no special preparations except to have a driver accompany me to the appointment and that I should continue taking my current medications (which they have on file).

Yesterday while I was flying back into town specifically for the appointment I received a voicemail asking if I had stopped taking the low-dose aspirin that I normally take. Of course not only had the office NOT advised me to stop taking my normal aspirin they had affirmatively told me to continue all my regular medications. I called this morning to inform them that I had not taken the low-dose aspirin yesterday or today upon receiving their message.

They then informed me that they were cancelling the procedure scheduled for later today due to the fact that I had not stopped the aspirin sooner (though - to repeat - the office had specifically told me to continue taking all my medications and had not said to stop the aspirin at any time). I have rebuilt my schedule around this procedure that was scheduled months ago.

I followed the precise advice provided by the office. I returned home early for the procedure and have cleared my calendar for the next 2 weeks. Now that is all wasted given the office's improper pre-surgery advice (and had I not called them and gotten those improper instructions I would have had no contact at all or any pre-surgery instructions from the office except for an automated appointment confirmation email). Needless to say, I have terminated my dealings with the Beeve office and Dr. Beeve based on this totally unprofessional experience.

I've been going to the Beeve Vision Care Center for about 4 years now. I couldn't be happier with my experiences. Dr. Beeve is very thorough and professional. I have also been lucky enough to have Lena help me the last couple times I went in. She is extremely friendly and thoughtful. Lastly, the optical department is fantastic. Ana was very patient in helping me pick out the perfect pair of glasses- I love them! Go here for all the reasons that are important to your eye health and for a nice "touch of home".

This review is not so much for the Beeve Vision Care Center, but more about the Optical Center within the office, and a warning to make sure you question everything for which you MAY be charged. I went in to get a copy of my prescription so that I could get a pair of glasses at a store closer to where I live. I spoke to the front desk and was told to make sure the Optical Center included my Pupal Distance (PD) on the prescription.

When I went to the Optical Center and asked them about this they took a quick scan and then told me that it would be $25. I had never been told that this would be something they charged me for, especially since I have ordered glasses from them in the past. When I told them this they told me that they would give me a discount so it would ONLY be $22.50.

I pushed back a bit and they told me that it was their normal practice. I went out to the front desk to ask them about it and they said that I should not have been charged. When I relayed this to the Optical Center they said that the front desk was wrong. Now sure, it is not a lot of money, but it is the principal. To add insult to injury, when I went to Warby Parker to get my new glasses (an absolutely wonderful company, btw), they took my PD measurement for free as part of the setup.

This just serves as a warning that the Optical Center (which is part of Dr. Beeve's office) and Dr. Beeve's front office do not communicate well, and to make sure that you ask about every potential charge associated with your visit so that you do not have any surprises as I did.

The doctor was great but did nothing about eye glass department which took a month to get me my glasses order completed. This departnent on two occassions was very disrespectful and spoke and acted inapproprately with a patient. Without even discussing with the doctor a letter arrived stating I had decided to no longer use their services. We never discussed at all.all conversation were with his staff.

I found a new eye doctor and my records which we requested to be faxed have now gone missing because they supposedly mailed them to me. Another set was faxed to new doctor but to date my records have never arrived in the mail. These doctors are not fully aware of the unprofessional staff members inappropriate behavior in their midst. Shame he was a very good eye doctor. Hopefully he will become aware of what is foing on at his business.

Dr. Beeve is a great eye doctor, he's extremely nice and lets you know what he's doing step by step. The ladies who are in the little office to take care of your glasses and contact needs are always super sweet and extremely helpful! If you don't know what type of glasses to get or what looks good on you, they'll help out, no problem. However.the receptionist is extremely rude!

She was snapping at every client today and one of the clients walked out as well and mentioned that the receptionist was rude! She shouldn't be working there. Zero customer service skills.

I have been seeing Dr Beeve for around 15 years. Yes, he looks like a youngster but his is extremely professional and talented in caring for eyes. I just finished with cataract surgery and I don't see how it could have gone any better. I trust Dr Beeve so completely, I was relaxed and confident throughout. The surgery center is right next to his office and everyone there is professional and fun.

His office team is excellent as well. They are very experienced and caring. While I was still using contacts, someone even called me to let me know about a special offer on my contacts so I could save on my order. They go above and beyond.

Well it's been over a year since I have had Lasik's here! And very disappointed, and this procedure has cost me tens of thousands beyond the cost of procedure as I had to give up my Career as A USPS Mail Man! They advertise "Never Wear Glasses Again" or something along those lines. Yet, now I have to have 200+ Power to read about anything 2 feet in front of me!

On occasion, I can clearly see leaves on trees at a great distance but not consistently Previous The Procedure, They knew I had very very sensitive eyes & I nervously repeated it to everyone in advance every appointment! The Doctor said anything you need, will be no problem! He ended up using the blade procedure to finish my eyes since he could not continue w/Laser as I was freaking out for lack of better term!

My eye balls were in a very uncomfortable clamp ( The Blade Procedure is supposed to be a lot cheaper & The Doctor previously telling me that for some reason he would do the blade procedure $800 an eye, yet, no discount as $5,500 plus misc costs were what we paid! ) The day I went into for The Post Surgery, They were very short handed and fairly far behind, so as my appointment came, they ( The Staff & Doc) asked if I had any issues, comments or?!

They didn't hear anything I had to say! They claimed I had 20/15 vision, malarky! I tried telling them my vision was also inconsistent and I could not hardly see up close! I was told give it awhile, a few days a couple weeks, everyone is a little different, yada yada yada All I am Saying here folks, Please Do Your Home Work Before You Consider Doing This Procedure!

It Is Not For Everyone Despite What They Try To SELL You! Research this for hours and read reviews from everyone you can regardless of where they had it done! You will thank me for this later! Talk to many folks that have had it done, How Long ago? How did it effect you before & after? What was your age and eye sight & eye health before and after? Did they have contacts? Did they have sensitive eyes?

A light stigmatism? etc. Some people can easily touch their eyes and roll their eye balls around on their fingers! Maybe an easy Procedure for them, but not if you have super sensitive eyes! Don't believe them (Doctors) when they say they will medicate you! They can only numb your sensitivity so much and keep you coherent for the procedure! I was 54 and my eyesight was not so bad that I had to wear glasses to do my job or thrive!, Now I have to wear reading glasses around my neck just to look at a Huge Print Menu or cut my fingernails or the simplest of things!

I have to even enlarge my font and brighten my screen on my cpu to do the simplest of tasks! I use to see like a cat at night in the dark outside! Now I need to tape a floodlight to my hat to walk the dog on a street lit road! I wished I would have wrote this months ago, but thought it only fair to give my eyes some time and already the close sightedness (seeing far) is faltering from a year ago! ***BEWARE: IF SOMETHING SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS***

Reception and the nurse were the only positive highlights of the visit today, as they were able to squeeze me in last minute and provided personalized service throughout the interactions. Cons: - Waited 1.5 hours to see Dr. Beeve - Dr. Beeve cared less about examining me than any other Opthamologist I've ever been to. How? Didn't even check my other eye for symptoms after ascertaining a bacterial infection in the other eye.

Thanks for going above and beyond! - I ask about Lasik and the age limitations there may be, and he simply replies with "you just have to be 18." Do doctors these days have to be that greedy to negate simple advice we can find online? Case in point from Lasik.com: "Most providers encourage young adults to wait until their mid-20s because, until this time, a person's prescription may be still changing. Having a stable prescription for at least two years is often required as proof before anyone, young or old, is deemed a good LASIK candidate.

From the point of stable prescription on, most adults concurrently grow their savings, begin traveling for work and pleasure, and perhaps develop an irritation or exhaustion with contacts and eye glasses. This creates the popular period during which most people have LASIK. Around the age of 40, a person's eyes start to change again. Soon thereafter, many people start to need reading glasses due to a condition known as presbyopia. LASIK does not correct presbyopia, but some people with the condition decide to have monovision." - After, learning about the eye exam I had earlier that year, he tells me to come in again this year to have another one. Really?

Do I need a bi annual checkup now, when my insurance only covers 1 a year. I get he wants some extra money, and I really wanted to come back since this place is close, but he's definitely NOT the type of doctor I trust.

Story time, I was on my way home from work when I felt the most unpleasant sensation I have ever felt in my left eye. It was tantamount to a sharp rock rubbing against my eye every time I blinked. No matter how much I flushed my eye with water the feeling persisted. I was beginning to feel pretty desperate as it was around 5 o clock and all the Opthamologists in my area were closed. Beeve Vision Care Center answered the phone, the staff were very sympathetic to my plight, they told me to come in right away. Dr. Dan sorted me out in an expeditious manner, and the staff there were nothing but friendly. 5/5 Beeve Center did me a solid, I highly recommend this place.

I had LASIK done by Dr. Beeve (bladeless and wavefront-guided). He took the time to answer my *many* questions. I am corrected to 20/15 with no night-vision issues (i.e., no haloes) or complications (use those antibiotic eyedrops people! although I seriously recommend getting a non-quinolone alternative). During the first year, I did wake with dry eyes maybe 3 times, but the lubricating drops supplied took care of it quickly.

Still 20/15 three years later. I'm 41 now too, and still no reading glasses.have heard anecdotal evidence LASIK defers onset of presbyopia. I did some research on prices. For this level of LASIK, Dr. Beeve was actually a little under the average with the VSP discount. And really, do you want your *eyes* operated on by the lowest bidder? Also, important for those looking for LASIK, Dr. Beeve has his own machine: this isn't a time-share with other people banging on it (this is one way "cheap" LASIK is offered).

It was actually the second time I tried to have LASIK done by Dr. Beeve. I was all set to go the first time, and came in for my final pre-op appointment.a few days before which I developed some weird issue in an eye. Dr. Beeve diagnosed it as Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR), and referred me to a retina specialist, with whom I was also very pleased.

But the point: he told me we couldn't operate with the eye being stressed. He had already done all the *free* pre-operative characterization, examinations, etc., and knowing he would not get paid for any of it because I would not be having the surgery then, he still did what was best for me. You don't have to be impressed by integrity, but the point of this review is that I experienced it.

He is also my optometrist. I have no complaints : ) Staff is very friendly and, to my vibe-detector, kind. Finally, if like me you have no real vision issues except your yearly check-up, the piece de resistance: free Keurig coffee in the office.
