Michels M Morse PC Optometrist

Stay away. I am a glaucoma patient (20 years, including surgery), and I am treated by a TOP glaucoma specialist (Dr. Pro). However, my thinking was that for glasses I should go to an optometrist, JUST like described in the other 1 star reviews, the visit was horrible. Lack of professionalism (no «hello» or «what can we do for you today» etc. Chewing gum, messy office, telling another patient, as I walk into his office, «I’ll be with you in 2 minutes», and more). At some point he told me that if I ever needed, he too can treat me for glaucoma, For him saying that he’s a glaucoma specialist is like a chiropractor claiming to be an orthopedic surgeon — seriously. To make matter’s worse: I told him that my doc instructed to put a drop just in one eye, since the other eye, where I had surgery, has low pressure. He told me that I should put the drop in both eyes. I don’t think he can even spell the name of the medicine I am taking, Unreal!!!
Folks, this is serious, it’s not a restaurant or something, it’s your eyes. LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Just dreadful. Waited 45 minutes at first appt; waited 50 minutes just to pick up contacts on return visit. Doctor was irritable and unpleasant — told me within first two minutes I definitely was getting glaucoma, only to retract statement when he learned I was only very myopic (often causes a false read on diagnosis machines.). Thanks for the heart attack, Doc. Then he refused to discuss any other lens options than monocular contacts (one close and one far) for my vision issues. Very glad I did not listen to him and found another doctor.
Staff is well-​meaning but disorganized and inappropriately chatty.

Very professional and very thorough… Everyone in the office is nice and Dr. Michels is excellent!

I have mixed feelings about this guy. If you are looking for someone who has a good bedside manner he is not your guy. He herds the pt’s in and herds them out even on my 1^st appt with him. Never seen any professional lack the ability to say hello! except for him. He was less than thrilled to answer my questions.
Here’s where the better part comes in. His staff take the time to examine my eyes and the prescription was perfect! I’ll probably go back to him b/​c of the good lenses I rec’d. What’s 10 minutes w/​a bad doc over the course of a couple of years.

Hm. The eye doc didn’t realize he was looking at the wrong patient chart during my eye exam… If he hadn’t reminded the receptionist to book another appointment for «Jessica» I would be walking around with someone else’s prescription. Seriously. Maybe if he had bothered to say a «Hello!» instead of just diving into the eye exam he would have caught my name…
Definitely going to find a new eye doc… eeks!
