Got a basic exam, they billed me for a comprehensive exam and another test which was never done, then refused to bill my insurance which is accepted there... got hit with a $300+ bill when my last eye doctor on western ave charged 75 for the same test. never got told they would not bill insurance first BEFORE sending my bill to collections without notice! shady. i will update if they pull their heads from out of their butts and bill correctly... cannot recommend

Handful of staff members are very friendly. The rest have awful customer service skills. They do NOT return phone calls, even though they say they will, and do not update their holiday hours. They do have pretty decent turn around times for glasses and contacts and have a nice variety to choose from.

Absolutely my favorite place, staff and doctors go above and beyond. I went in for my appointment and was able to get my glasses the same day!

Massive run around between billing departments.AVOID. They send one bill, call with different amount, do not provide clear invoices, and put off contacting patients insurances. This type of service makes patients avoid routine care. Horrible experience.

Dont waste your time, would have given them zero stars if I could have, tried to make a appointment with them to be told I needed a referral, had one faxed over and no call back, next day I called again to be told they didnt get the fax, so had another fax sent to them, still no call back, cant imagine getting glasses from them or having a problem with them and trying to get help with them.

Very inefficient. Would not give me my contact Rx. after asking for it 3 times. Finally called 5 days later for Rx. and they sent me a letter to sign stating that i got my Rx. the day of my exam. Total lie!! Will not go there again. If you want to wait a long time and be treated with disrespect this is the place for you.

The waiting is the downside of going here. Plan to spend a long time waiting between exams. We waited a lot for eye exams for my kids and waited even more while trying to get fitted for contacts. Contact appointment took almost 2 hours.

I was recommended to Dr. Gleaton for a concern I had in regards to my daughter eyes. My daughter is 17. The doctor approached us and mostly myself in a condescending manner. When I went to talk to her about why we were then she swiveled her chair away from me and cut me off mid sentence... to talk to my daughter who really had no idea of what was happening. She also made personal opinions about the amount of medication my daughter was on despite it having nothing to do with why we were there. As a new patient she made no attempt to make things comfortable but rather made us feel we had no business being there and my concern as a parent wasIgnored.

My glasses broke I had to wait for them to open due to shut down, fine I get it. Then made appointment up front told them I have a medical condition can not wear a mask. Was told this would not be an issue. This morning Friday June 5 had an appointment waited an HR past the time I was scheduled for which I understand also. But was told the Dr would not see me cause I cant wear a mask, I have a health issue that I cant wear one. They didnt care. Said I could get new glasses and lenses. How considering Im having eye issues cause its been over 2 yrs.I was up front about my health issue. They said no problem when it came down to it I missed a day of work and they didnt care about my underlined health issue. My glasses are broke and superglued together, also having eye issues considering time its been.DO NOT GO TO THSES PEOPLE THEY DONT CARE, Im pulling my whole family out you should too.

Wait time in the office was very long. My daughter and I waited in the waiting area for half an hour and were then ushered into a freezing cold exam room where we waited for another 15 minutes. But the worst part was the price. I have never spent so much money for my daughters eye exam and glasses anywhere and I will never go back to their practice.

Superb! Dr. Gleaton has been an incredible ophthalmologist whom I have been privileged to see for my eye care for about 15 years or so. Several years ago she performed cataract surgery on both my eyes at different times and the results have been incredible. I could not say enough good things about Dr. Gleaton or praise her and her practice highly enough. I have full confidence in her practice.

Picked up new lenses yesterday , due to a slight problem I had to go back and have some more testing. Dr.Janes took time to squeeze me in due to the fact my normal Dr smith was out. Dr Janes was absolutely outstanding and I appreciate the interest she showed me as well as covering for Dr. Smith. So a big thank you DrJanes, Dr. Smith as well as all the office staff. Dave Gomeau

Recently was examined by Dr Janes & truly felt I received a thorough & professional examination. This was my first visit with her & I really felt she spent a lot of time with me, not rushed & she offered suggestions to me I wasn’t aware of. Great experience & glad to meet with her. Have been patient at Atlee & will recommend to others

Top notch outfit at all levels. Been going there for years. Being supervisor in truck repair,eye accidents happen with the best of safety measures. Myself and crew ,the answer call Atlee. Got us in asap with the best of care. Little down time and the best results. Had rust drilled out of eye twice in 35 years and what a relief. For regular eye care, professional , great people to deal with. Highly recommended. Impressed.

VERY professional and friendly staff. Dr Janes is very knowledgeable and takes her time listening to any concerns and goes out of her way thoroughly explain and answer.

Efficiently managed with low wait times. Easy parking, friendly staff and excellent clinicians. Full service operation and can get contacts or glasses on site. If there is any better place to get eye care in this region, I am not aware....

I just switched over to Atlee Gleaton Eye Care and have been very happy with their services. I had an emergency eye issue and the doctor took great care of me and didnt hesitate to refer me to a Portland specialist for further care. I highly recommend them.

Doctors and assistants are friendly and helpful. Front office staff have on multiple occasions mishandled my account and seem to get overwhelmed frequently. I also have my doubts about the cleanliness for some of the equipment here.

I had been going to this practice for many years with no problems, but lately they have treated their patients like cattle. I got a new pair of glasses last year, which I absolutely could not wear. Made me dizzy and totally stressed out. They remade them grudgingly once with no improvement. I switched back to my old glasses, which were far from perfect but at least didnt make me feel sick. In desperation I saw a local smaller practice where I was treated like a valued client. They discovered that the glasses I had were not the right prescription, but the biggest problem was with the frames. They had sold me flexible frames as being the best thing since sliced bread. Turns out that for people with astigmatism (and mine is severe) they were a disaster. I am going to stick with my small town, friendly, and -- most important -- highly competent optometrist.

I believe that Gleaton Eye Care provides the best eye care in the Augusta area. First of all, the providers are all MDs--not just optometrists, but ophthalmologists. I would trust my eyesight only to professionals who have the best training and the doctors at Gleaton Eye Care have exactly that! The personal care that I have received at their eye clinic is the best I have ever experienced.

Always professional and prompt, this eye care practice is the best I have ever used. Dr. Gleaton performed cataract surgery to both of my eyes several years ago and I havent had a single problem. My entire family uses Atlee Gleaton eye care and I have recommended them to many others.

I just want to say how impressed I was with the quickness of getting my contacts and glasses. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I moved to Maine 3 years ago and have been nervous about seeing a new eye dr as I do have some issues but Dr Janes and the staff made me feel right at home. Im glad I chose Atlee as my eye care specialist. THANK YOU!

Review №34

If you receive any kind of assistance like I was at the time DO NOT go here. They will treat you like a second class citizen. One of the techs didnt want to answer a question because she had real patients with real jobs. I am back on track now but was totally humiliated at the time.

Im writing this review for my mom, who is a patient at Atlee Gleatin. They are very pleasant and polite, and have helped my mom with her macular degeneration and questions associated with it. The eye glasses center within the Dr.s office have created better eye glasses for her with thinner lenses and are always very helpful.

Always a friendly greeting. I am a chronic glaucoma patient, and have been going to this practice for at least forty years. Intraocular pressures good, visual field hasnt deteriorated. See you in six months. Thanks, Dr. Feero and staff. Please consider yourselves recipients of the polite embraces that are inappropriate in medical settings.

Dr. Feero is good. I was fit for a scleral contact lens by Dr. Puiia and he just about killed me. He had to remove the fitting lens with forceps and I was in pain and had very cloudy vision for weeks. I will NEVER go back. They seem to practice with technology from the 1980s. They need to be informed about more recent treatments and LEARN THEIR JOB!

Very friendly and professional eye care center. They perform a wide variety of services as well. I go there on occassion to have my vision checked and eye glasses prescription updated but my mother goes there and gets treatment for diabetic complications(shots in the eyeball, ouch!). Gleatons seems to do it all. There is also a shop on site where you can buy frames and order lenses if you wish.
