Scottsdale Center For Sight Plc

If you have an eye problem this is the only place I would trust to see. Eight years ago had a issue and everything went so smooth and had great success that now I have the other eye with a issue. This was the first place I called. I will only trust my eye care here.

I’m very pleased with Dr Petelin, he has done PRK on me 3 – 4 times, but… I made an appointment 6 weeks ago for day-​after-​tomorrow, and get a call this morning that he will be out of the office all this week! I have to wait another 3 weeks for another appointment, while not being able to see well! This is extremely unprofessional to say the least. His office staff was very apologetic etc, and it was unfair to them as well, as they have to make the calls.

Even though I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Shorb, he didn’t perform any testing. His technician did all the testing. He only met with me to discuss the results. When you schedule an appointment, make sure you are seeing the doctor.

Wow! What a great office! Dr. Petelin is and was extremely professional and informative. The staff at SCS was very knowledgeable, polite and informed me of everything prior to, during and after my LASIK. It’s been a month since my procedure, and I’m seeing crystal clear! I was recommended to him by my sister who had LASIK and would recommend them over and over again. You definitely get what you pay for, folks! My uncle is a sports trainer for the Oakland A’s and he recommended him initially. You’ll see from the other testimonials. Fox 10 anchor and an Arizona Cardinal QB used him too– so what does that say! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Very unhelpful and not friendly when inquiring about LASIK. I would encourage looking for a different eye center.

Loved my experience at Scottsdale Center for Sight! They went above and beyond helping me feel comfortable with the LASIK procedure. Dr. Petelin did a wonderful job explaining everything to me and taking as much time as needed to answer questions. I had a very bad astigmatism, and Dr. Petelin told me in the initial appointment that I might have to undergo 2 procedures to get the best results. But he actually got such good results from the first procedure that I didn’t have to do a second one!
Highly recommended!

Dr. Petelin is very good, but the office in Scottsdale leaves a lot to be desired. I waited more than half an hour for my initial appointment. I was a new patient. He was very good at explaining a lot no one had explained before. He gave me a prescription for glasses that were better for computer work, but the staff never gave me my regular prescription. I thought it would be online, but it wasn’t. The tech said it couldn’t go online at this point and said it would be at the desk. He failed to tell me there wouldn’t be anyone at the office the following day. So I went, waited for more than 5 minutes, then had to leave to get to work.(the office was open because it’s attached to another office). I called, they said the phones were forwarded to the Sun Lakes office. They offered to e-​mail the Scottsdale office and have the prescription faxed to me at work. The prescription wasn’t faxed. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to return. It’s a tough decision when the Dr. is good, but the office isn’t.

Prepaid for services, drove over an hour to my appointment and was told the doctor was over booked and I would have to reschedule. The staff was unfriendly and took over 2 weeks to refund my money.

Dr Petelin and his staff are absolutely fantastic. They gave me a discount because I was student. They also take their time and run a million tests to make sure that you are in fact a candidate for LASIK or whatever other eye surgery you’re hoping for — they don’t run an eye surgery mill like other businesses. All of the pre and post surgical stuff is included in your costs. I had a million and one questions– maybe stranger questions than the average bear because I am a nurse– and Dr Petelin explained so thoroughly the answer to every question. I was super satisfied with him and his staff, especially the fabulous Kerri. My only complaint, and it’s not a big deal to me though it may be for some, is that they run waaaaaay behind on appointments. Trust me, plan for the wait, because the service is worth it.

If you received a GROUPON offer from this office make sure you know the following things.
* You will get what you pay for (50% less friendliness then your typical Scottsdale office)
*If you cannot pay cash expect to pay $ 1,200 extra for finacing
*Your appointment is confirmed until less than 24 hrs prior to surgery (if they do not have enough people scheduled– they change your appointment less than 24 hrs ahead and expect you to be available).
Dr. Petelin is awesome but he really needs to train his front and back office on interpersonal skills and customer service skills.
