He was friendly throughout our interactions. Improvement areas could be: 1. When he introduced himself, he needs to state his title or role. 2. when I explained that I was interested in having a more extensive exam but that dilation of my pupils causes a migraine that lasted greater than 24 hours last time, he just said, “OK”. I had to ask about the test available that I read about on the back of the consent form. I would recommend that he offer the alternative test available in Santa Maria instead of me having to ask for it. 3. I reported during my intake interview that I was having pressure discomfort in my left eye. He did not discuss it specifically during my appointment until I mentioned it at the end and he did not have a clear response. So, I would say overall, communication with patients is an improvement area.
