The doctor was fine but check-out was a disaster. Was going to complain directly to the office via their "patient portal" but the instructions in the email they sent require an "enrollment token given to you by the practice" which I did not receive.
Perhaps the woman at checkout, Breanna, was supposed to give this to me. I don't know. What I do know is that she was rude and also failed to communicate answers to my questions in a professional manner. Here's the deal: I was checking out for my son as well as myself. She gave me just one prescription and said, "You're good." To which I asked about my prescription. Huffle-puffle I get that, only to discover it was a prescription for my vocational lenses, which I'm not replacing at this time. Fine, so I asked for my other prescription. After a non-verbal interval, I get that one, only to see that it had the same indications as my other prescription. So I asked for clarification. Rather than a professional conversation, she just marks out the indication on the second prescription and mumbled something about refraction. I asked for clarification, but received none, so I had to go back toward the exam rooms - which the staff certainly did not appreciate. But I wanted to be sure I was going to have the correct prescription filled. I think that is a reasonable expectation.
I will follow through with my son's appointment at Dr. Sullivan's Des Peres office, but am not inclined to return to this location.
