CustomEyes - Lee's Summit

Dr Peterson was wonderful along with the lady that checked me in and visited prior to me leaving, she has been there for a long time and is very helpful and knowledgeable

My husband and I both went for our first appointments here today and I felt like it went so well! Listened to by the staff and the doctor, Dee helped us choose the perfect frames for our faces and was so fun to talk with! 100% my new eye doctor for my yearly check in!!

Update: The customer service response has been incredible. The team at CustomEyes almost immediately saw this review and made a dedicated effort to reach out and resolve. I would like to give a special shoutout to Dr. Aaron Cheng who has guided this process from the beginning. He was dedicated to finding resolution and consistently updated me on their progress. I am updating my review from 2 stars to 5 because of the power of impeccable customer care. Thank you to everyone at CustomEyes for working towards a solution. I am sincerely grateful and we will continue to be loyal customers. ————————— I have been a customer of CustomEyes - Lee’s Summit for over two years and have LOVED having Dr. Ali as my doctor. However, I will no longer be a customer due to issues with their admin staff. I scheduled an appointment for floaters via their online schedule system for a Saturday date. However, their staff called me and informed me that my appointment reasoning was rather urgent and they’d like to see me the next day. When I arrived to my appointment, I was informed that my insurance was showing up as inactive in their system. It’s the same insurance I used for my annual visit earlier in the year and it was not a new card. I called my insurance provider and they confirmed my coverage was active with no termination date. The agent spoke to the front desk admin on speakerphone and was tersely told that it does not matter what my coverage is, if it shows up as inactive in their system there is nothing she can do. I was at a complete loss. Upset that the front desk admin would offer no help knowing that my insurance is active, knowing that they are in-network because it was used earlier in the year, and knowing that the day before my appointment they ran my insurance and it showed inactive (she told me as much) - yet they didn’t call to inform me ahead of time. I was told I could keep the appointment and pay out of pocket, but it could be $100-$300 and I would have to appeal to my insurance to see if they would reimburse me. I left the office in tears because I’d been given the impression that my reason for the appointment was urgent and could require immediate action and I was barred from answers because of an admin issue. I was given little support and no forewarning that when I showed up, the admin staff was well aware I had a flag on my insurance by their system and may be required to pay out of pocket. It felt like a bait and switch and betrayal of customer confidence. They are losing not only my business, but my husband’s as well due to this negligence. I’ll miss Dr. Ali so much, and hope that she somehow sees this review and raises important questions internally as to why her patient was not offered greater support and why their system suddenly failed to accept insurance where there was never a previous issue.

Edit: i left a negative review previously regarding a problem with them. However, this comment now show my appreciation to Mr. Aaron Cheng for standing out to resolve my case and take my opinion seriously.

I’ve been a patient here for several years. I love the fact that they work with you to maximize your insurance benefits. Both DrDrake & DrDrake are amazing. I’m in the medical field as well & I’m not easily impressed. I’ve had nothing but good experiences here! I highly recommend them!

CustomEyes has the best opticians and the best selection of contacts/glasses available and “in style”. I’m always pleased with my visits, the doctors are always fast, friendly and very helpful. They got newer inventory for glasses such as Tiffany and co, Gucci and more. The girls who help with purchasing glasses and contacts are always super friendly/helpful as well and explain everything such as insurance/and lenses options greatly. Definitely happy with my new Tiffany and co prescription glasses! I can’t wait to pick them up.

Absolutely the best staff and crew, companionate, attentive, empathetic. These guys were very professional, they didn’t treat me any differently than anyone else. The other offices I visited definitely did not exhibit or display that same love. Very grateful for Dr. Drake and his team. Absolutely the best

I was warmly greeted by staff members. I liked the relaxed atmosphere, and the professionalism of the Optometrist, and the technicians that assisted him. I left the office feeling that I had been completely taken care of.

I am from Colorado, and in Missouri taking care of my elderly parents. I had an emergency in January and on a Saturday. I called CustomEyes, they were one of the very few clinics open on a Saturday. They were very friendly, and able to squeeze me into the schedule. I found myself staying in Missouri, and possibly relocating here. I've been due for an eye exam, so I gave CustomEyes a call because I was so impressed and comfortable at my original appointment. I saw Dr. A. Genilo, both times and everyone, from her, check in, techs, optical, and check out, was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. I feel very comfortable saying, I have found my new eye care clinic and will definitely return. Thank you to everyone at CustomEyes!
