      Please keep all receipts for at least a year. Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center is ***** when it comes to business/billing keeping. ********** ******* in billing is very unprofessional and rude.*** ****, *** OH, *** ******* and ***** are wonderful people working for a TRASH company.Please see the attachment for bank transactions that I indeed pay for services rendered by Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center.I should not have to go through this process to prove I paid. Apparently there is a problem with your IT department and Billing system. I will be leaving a review on your website. You all are trying to cause a negative image on my credit and not that's not good business practice. Shame you and your company for claiming I was being deceitful when you can not go pass without being checked in and paying first. The power of SOICAL MEDIA will be my source of speaking out against Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center.**********, you very nasty with me on both phone calls. It is you duty to email clients not them emailing you. You were not concern nor apologetic in either conversation. I explained to that I had paid and you very dismissive.Moving forward stop calling people liars!!On Monday, September 16, 2024 at 01:43:37 PM CDT, ********** ******* *************************** wrote:

      Im making a complaint about the fact that I scheduled a simple eye exam. I asked specifically on the phone if they accepted our Aetna in network insurance for a simple eye exam. The girl said yes. I asked again to make sure. She says yes. I proceed to arrive today with them informing me that they dont take our insurance except under medical. I called my Aetna while the jerk of a girl was insisting that they only except medical and that I have not met my high deductible! The Aetna representative tried to inform them that we DO NOT have a deductible for a yearly eye exam!!! I am so mad at this unprofessional, joke of a place!!!!!

      I have not received the promised follow up to my concerns and complaints dating back to a visit at the Southlake office of the Kleiman Evangelista eye care practice in Southlake ** on December 18th, 2023. After insisting on knowing prices up front for fittings, I was given 3 different prices, including one for normal fitting, one for astigmatism and one for multifocal lenses. (There was no mention of mono focal correction). I accepted the terms because I knew I wasnt getting multifocal lenses, the most expensive fitting (a multifocal lens provides a gradient of vision correction in a single lens). Later, I was charged the highest fee for what the practice referred to as a mono focal lens fitting which, as I've already indicated, wasn't even mentioned by the employees when I asked for the prices up front. In addition, when I was given lenses to try on, I was surprised that I was offered one for near vision for my left eye and one for distance for the other. I asked if it would cost more to have one lens for near vision and another for distance and was told, no. I also was not told that having two different strength lenses would be considered a multifocal fitting. I left without paying (and without a prescription) because I was mislead, and because I never requested the two different corrections. Please let me know how I can go about rectifying this issue. I either need my contact lens prescription (for nearsightedness for both eyes at the astigmatism rate) or simply for this practice to no longer bill me so that I can get my prescription somewhere else. Also, please note, I was required to pay $35 at my original appointment, and I'm still not sure why, because the appointment was billed as a doctor's visit for my cataracts, which is completely covered by ********* My vision was checked during this visit, so I would think that that $35 should apply to my fee for the contact lens prescription.

      In 2013 my boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend) *********************** (name was ******************* at that time) went to Kleiman Evangelista to have our lasik procedures done. I opted for the 1 lifetime enhancement per eye "warranty" and paid the extra money for it. Now, 10 years later, I called them to see how I could go about using mine and was told that since the equipment they're using is different than 10 years ago the "warranty" wouldn't be honored and I'd have to pay for it. That's completely and totally absurd. I would like the money back that I paid for the lifetime enhancement option for both me and ******************* (I paid for both of our procedures) since it was never used and now won't be honored.

      I had lasik done on both eyes July 2012. I paid $3500 for the procedure and 1 lifetime enhancement per eye. I recently contacted them for an enhancement and I was told they changed management companies and no longer honor the their agreement. I was told I would have pay for this service now.

      November 28, 2022 I need your assistance, I would like to file a complaint against, SAME DAY SURGICARE.Theyre billing me for $204.71 that I dont feel that I owe. They did not provide me with the best of care. Prior to surgery they pretended as though they were aiming to please, and they were going to provide this outstanding service.I dont feel that I received the wonderful lenses that they had claimed that I was going to receive. I feel that I received subpar treatment, because I couldnt afford to purchase their lenses that cost in the thousands of dollars. After surgery, I began to experience all sorts of issues, burning pain, debris in my eyes, swelling, vision issues, among other symptoms, and when I called their office for help, not even the doctors seemed to care. I was in pain, and I kept calling for an earlier appointment to see the doctor, they kept denying me an appointment. I called and asked if I could speak to the doctor, after calling for several days, they seemed annoyed with me, and finally I was able to speak to the female doctor that they had assigned to **** explained about the pain and issues that I was having, she did nothing, I was fearful of losing my eyesight. And she did not tell me to come in to be seen, she told me to wait for my follow up appointment which was over a month away. On my previous visit, prior to the phone call, I saw the surgeon that performed my surgery, kickin it with the nurses at the nurses station. I had asked the nurse that was walking me back to the patient room if the surgeon could please come talk to me. They did not allow me to speak to him, when I walked out of the patient room, he looked at me as I exited.Its been a year, and my eyes are still not right, I am considering contacting my insurances to see if they can investigate this matter, after what Ive been through, they should be ashamed to want any more money from me. What *** learned after being treated there, money is what theyre about. Acct. 75387-1

      This patient was provided safe and effective care during their stay with Same Day Surgicare.  ************* benefits were filed appropriately and the patient was obligated to pay a co-insurance balance per her agreement with her insurance provider.  An estimate was provided to her prior to her surgery day and her EOB (explanation of benefits) should have clearly stated that information for her to view post surgery.  It seems most of her complaint is with her surgeon's office (Kleiman Evangelista) where her preop and post op care took place, as we do not provide that service here, only the surgical portion of her care. 

      For any questions regarding the surgical portion of this complaint feel free to reach out to ****************************** or ****************************************

      For the surgeon's office, please reach out to *********************

       

      Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      The Business has never contacted me, I had placed a call back to your office at the number shown under ******************** last week, I left a voicemail letting him know that I have not been contacted by anyone at Kleiman.
