Central City Eyecare

This was a very unprofessional and unsanitary experience with a dismissive attitude from the eye doctor. Without informing me or getting my consent, the doctor applied pupil-dilating eye drops. I wasn’t even told they were for dilation until after they were already in my eyes. When I asked if I could still drive, she said “yes,” which shocked me. From my past experiences with specialist eye exams, doctors clearly warn patients that they should not drive afterward and even recommend bringing sunglasses. She said nothing. I had driven myself to the clinic and had to drive myself home. My vision was very uncomfortable, and luckily, I had my husband’s sunglasses in the car, which barely helped me see the road. Even more concerning, after dilation, she still proceeded with my contact lens fitti

the female doctor here was extremely rude when I ask questions about my eyes politely. she also used the bathroom without washing her hands, as I was there when in line to go next. Then in the exam room she touch my eyeballs bare hand. when i point it out, she gets slams the mouse and keyboard agressively and glares at me and continues in silence. I hope my insurance can change soon so I can return to my old doctor

I have been going to this eye doctor for the last 10+ years, from middle school to now as an adult. I have had an amazing experience going here and it has only grown since. The front desk person is extremely attentive to logistics and details, ensuring everything goes smoothly from scheduling the next exam to picking the right pair of glasses. The eye doctor stands out with her patience, approachability, and expertise. She thoughtfully answers all my questions, no matter how many I have, and remembers personal details about my life, adding a uniquely personal touch to each visit. The accuracy of every prescription is spot-on, and she's always ready to make necessary adjustments. Pricing is also a major plus - very reasonable for the quality of service provided, especially for contact exa

Front desk receptionist attitude is terrible and it is hard to understand when communication is in English it is bad place to go get an eye care here

I’ve been seeing Dr. Xu for the past few years for my annual eye exam and contact fittings. They are closed on Mondays but open Tuesday-Saturday. When you arrive, you’ll need to wave at them through the window for them to buzz you in. I work with students who are interested in becoming optometrists so I ask a lot of questions and she is very patient in answering them. Whenever our appointment goes past closing time she doesn’t rush or anything. I am happy with the pricing and service here, she also is very understanding of my needs and priorities. I won’t be needing to see another optometrist for as long as I live in Philly!
