Not a good experience. Waited 4 hours for what I don't think was good advice. Then was given an invalid prescription. Then called I called a hundred times to get it fixed and my call was dropped each time. This place is supposed to be the best but I will never go back if I can help. So run down, couldn't even find an outlet that worked to charge my phone. The people were nice so they get 2 stars.

After hearing such great things about Bascom Palmer, I unfortunately had a horrible experience when I went for a standard cataracts surgery. Despite being young and healthy at the time of my surgery, the surgeon tore my lens and tried to cover it up by saying it was “perfect”. After the surgery she didn’t tell my husband anything had gone wrong or give him any instructions when he picked me up. The following day I had a sea of floaters and my eye color was and still is permanently changed due to the tear. My advice is research your doctor well and consider other options other than BP. I had surgery for my second eye done with a different doctor outside of Bascom Palmer and it went beautifully.

You are honestly better off going to a general ER for your care unless you want to wait 5+ hours just to be seen. I was in excruciating pain from a corneal abrasion and ended up leaving, after 5 hours in the waiting room, to go to a nearby urgent care. I was at a nearby urgent care for no more than 1 hour and was given the appropriate antibiotics. It's a shame that such a big name institution can't even organize an emergency room. Faculty were pleasant, but the wait time was far from pleasant. Have the residents see the "bread and butter cases" and the attendings see the more complex ones. I do not recommend this facility for your emergency eye care.

One of the worst run institutions I have ever had the misfortune of seeking medical advice at. There is no reason to make a person wait five hours to see a doctor. The total mismanagement of the department, despite having an appointment shows the total disregard for patients and their time. I will NEVER EVER go back to this facility. If you value your time you will do as other's have posted and avoid this place. I sat and rotted in the waiting area only to finally hail someone down to inform them that I was still in the waiting area 90 minutes after my apt. time and was barked at rudely by the only woman I could locate. NO One sits behind the desks there. There is simply no excuse for the way in which they manage their operation and endless tests that take a total of 40 minutes at any other doctors office. The refusal the read the posts, hear the negative feedback and find a more sensible way to manage which can only be described as a very expensive horrible experience that resembled a free clinic in an underserved community rather than a very expensive hospital hailing itself as one the "best". Sadly I could not even understand the Doctor when I finally met with her as her English was so poor. So sum up: 5 hours waiting time to have a ten minute consult with the actual doctor. I lost a day of my life that I can never get back.

The Bascom Palmer has been and still is # 1 in the world for specialized eye treatment. If he has health insurance and you can call to make an appointment (or come to the emergency room on the second floor) he can be seen and started on the road to getting better and you can have peace of mind.

Go to this website, it has a number you can call and a form to fill out to request an appointment. I wont say its impossible to get one in that short of notice, but thats very difficult. You can always go to their ER if it is that urgent, you'll be seen, it'll probably take a few hours. https://umiamihealth.org/bascom-palmer-eye-institute/appointment-options

You have to call the physicians administrative assistant (whoever that is) or call the appt line and ask for the number to the office to speak to his assistant. Mon-fri I doubt they are there weekends. If it's an emergency you can take her to the 2nd floor ER and they can check her eyes out and write her a prescription for the drops till you get in touch with the dr on monday.

Amin Al | Sep 4, 2019
star carter | Sep 4, 2019

It would be better to have one in person. But truthfully it depends on what kind of surgery you are looking for. You are not a candidate for LASIK with a +17. A clear lens exchange might be a option.
