How likely are you to recommend Dr. Updegraff?
Just recently had cataract surgery, which went very well. There were two visits before surgery, the bulk of them spent with technicians, who did exams, measurements of the eyes, etc. One visit ended with a Doctor of Optometry (not an MD), who summarized the findings and recommendations. The second, longer visit, ended with a very cursory view by Dr. Updegraff. All told, in several hours at the facility, I spent fewer than 10 minutes with Dr. Updegraff, himself,, and five of them were when I was sedated and being operated on. It is not an "up close and personal" practice, but an efficient machine.... My biggest mistake, on my final post-op visit, was to get steered to the on-site optical sales office, where I was sold the most expensive glasses I have ever bought--double the cost of my last glasses from Eyeglass World. I should simply have taken the prescription and had it filled elsewhere. The staff, right down to each of the @10 technicians I DID spend time with, were friendly
