Great visit. This doctor was so eager to answer questions .. and he told me my eyes are in good shape. I recently decided to leave the doctors office I was with for several years when the person at the check in was rude.. She tolShow mored my copay was $15 .. but then she said I have a copay of $55 for a glare test.. I had never heard of that, was not told I was having a glare test and when I asked.. she was very rude.. and told me I would have to wait for the techs to get off break for the answer.. I decided.. even though I was very happy with my doctor.. I would not put up with her attitude.. I continued with that visit.. told my doctor what happened.. but not going back... She did me a favor because I love Atlantic Eye.. Dr Straut explained what a Glare test is.. and also said.. they don't charge for it. So I believe I was being milked at Tres Vision.. thats my opinion..

Cathy Lynn D. • June 13, 2026

Overall, this was a good complete and thorough visit, Dr Straut is really good in explaining what is happening with my vision and what the next steps might be. I have confidence in him. However, I need to comment on the staff. They appear to be bored with their jobs. No one smiles. Everything is done quickly in dull routine with limited interaction other than going through the motions. It seems as if they do the same procedures so often that they forget there are patients to interact with. There’s a coldness with them and, frankly , in the aging facility. I like dr Straut and will return but with hope there’s more “spirit” all around.
