Wineinger Vision

Well I feel badly after reading the other two reviews. Apparently my experiences with Dr. Ryan Wineinger are completely different from the other reviewers. My first visit was okay. The office staff had made a few mistakes on my insurance, etc., but that happens. I saw Dr. Ryan, the son, and he was not very friendly, but efficient enough. Over 40 – needed reading glasses. The next year I felt my vision had deteriorated rapidly and went back to Dr. Ryan. New office staff – they were awful. They didn’t even greet me when I came into the office. The eye technician that ran some tests was so rude and didn’t warn me when the puff of air was coming. When I jumped she literally scolded me and said, «Have you never had your eyes examined before?» Like I was stupid. And then Dr. Ryan was really cold, unfriendly, uninformative. I asked about Lasik surgery and he said, «You eyes are aging just like everything else on you. Probably not what you wanted to hear but Lasik won’t help worn out muscles.» And that was it. I will never go back. There are too many other eye-​care specialists in this town to be treated so rudely. Very unhelpful.

I’ve been going to the Wineinger’s for my eye care for quite some time now. All I can say is — great service, all around. Both Roger and Ryan are always extremely helpful and very friendly. I look forward to seeing them. Their staff is also eager to help throughout my visit. The selection of glasses is also very large, I always walk out satisfied. I would recommend Roger and Ryan to everyone.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ryan Wineinger’s for about 5 years now. Due to some family history with glaucoma and noticing I was starting to have some trouble with seeing up close, I started visiting Wineinger’s for an annual check-​up. I have to say, although I only see him once a year, it is always a pleasure. (FYI: Ryan’s father works in the same practice, but I have never met him.)
Dr. Ryan Wineinger is the kind of health professional I hope for with every health-​care visit. He is up-​beat, efficient, does not waste time, answers your questions, and will tell you and explain things to you as to keep you well-​informed of what is going on, and why he is making a particular choice or decision (or why not). He has never talked down to me. If I have a question, he answers it to my satisfaction.
One thing I have also greatly appreciated is that Dr. Wineinger is more on the liberal side when following my eyesight, but he is conservative when it comes to treatment. He is not out to just make himself or someone else money. He only recommends something if he thinks it is truly necessary based on more recent practice guidelines. I have not had to use any eye medication yet, and I am only now using reading glasses (non-​prescription) as we both agreed it was finally time. He did give me a prescription for a better pair of glasses in case I wanted to get them, but there was no pressure to do it.
Lastly, I have some vision insurance, but it doesn’t pay for a lot. My regular health insurance is now Humana, but please note ***Wineinger Vision Associates does not take Humana health insurance***. However, even with that problem, I will not change optomotrists and I still give them 5 stars. They’ve been kind enough to work with me in the area of payment, and for that I am very grateful.
