Dr. Chexal is outstanding. She does a terrific job explaining what she is doing and what she has found, as well as outlining next steps. Her tech staff seems skilled and knowledgeable as well. They whisked me through a series of tShow moreests with ease. The front desk experience, however, wasn’t great. The woman working the desk is a poor communicator—barely audible during the rare moments that she actually says something. When I checked out at the end of my appointment I asked her if she needed anything from me: Copay, etc. Without a word or expression she tapped a few keys on her keyboard and mumbled, “As needed.” I was confused. “Pardon me?” “It says ‘as needed,’” she replied. Then I realized she thought I was asking about a follow-up appointment, which I didn’t need. But it was up to me to crack that mystery on my own. She’s like a Sphinx, this one. Unknowable. I’m still rating this practice 5 stars despite that whole front office business. Dr. Chexal and her tech staff will take great care of you, and let’s be honest: that’s what matters in the end.
First Impression: NO. my appt was scheduled @12:30 but upon arrival found office locked, no sign indicating out to lunch, rude person answered phone. Second Impression: As I'm being checked in as a new patient, front desk pShow moreerson immediately checks in gentleman behind me apparently he's a returning patient, doesn't matter...seemed a bit rude. Third Impression: They escort the patient whose appt was after mine in first. Fourth Impression: I wasn't told that the doctor wasn't even in the building due to an emergency surgery (not her fault) but I wasn't given the opportunity up front to simply reschedule my appt, which would have been the best thing but instead I sat in a room.for almost 45 minutes awaiting the doctor's return. Final Impression: At the end, the doctor was very attentive, came discussed her findings and sent me on my way. Overall, the doctor and her assistant very knowledgeable and polite. Finalnl piece of advice for her staff, if the doctor is out for whatever reason give the patients the opportunity to simply reschedule..NO ONE HAS TIME TO SIT AND WAIT. TREAT ALL PATIENTS WITH RESPECT

Reviews
Excellent knowledgeable caring service.
Once again, my health concerns found me going to see a different type of health care specialist. I arrived at Dr Chexal office not knowing what to expect and very anxious. Once I completed my paperwork and went into the first office, I found myself relaxing as the individual explained the specific test/process she would be doing. I saw at least 3 people before I saw Dr Chexal. They all provided great service and answered my questions. Dr Chexal explained what she was looking for during her exam and her concerns.
It was a learning experience and need to get procedures done.
Dr. Chexal is very knowledgeable and helpful and always answers all of my questions. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an expert evaluation of their vision challenges.
Dr Chexal provided professional and caring services. She always makes me feel my eye health is of the utmost importance to her. I am delighted to be a longtime patient and will continue to be a loyal patient!
I would recommend Dr. Chexal and the staff to anyone with eye problems !
GOOG SWEET HEARD WHAT YOU SAID.

Wonderful
Dr Chexal is wonderful as well as her staff. She always keeps me informed on any, and all upcoming case studies that might be able to help my mother. This means more to me than you could know.
My visit was an urgent situation with sudden onset of problems with my left eye. I called the Round Rock office and they set me up immediately with Dr Chexell. The Dr and her staff quickly examined my eyes, found the issue and performed a laser repair of a tear in the affected eye. It was an easy, walk in and out experience. Kudos to Dr Chexell and her staff.
A very pleasant experience. As someone who has dealt with a macular hole several years ago RCA has cared for me for a long time.
The receptionist, the staff and this Doctor is a miracle worker. My eyes have improved so much, that my vision is as perfect, as when I was in My teens. She is a true Miracle Worker.
Dr Chexal is thorough, expert, and kind. Excellent staff as well.
Excellent!
