Inland Eye Specialists

Don’t support these crooks, I paid for an exam, got the prescription but it was missing the pupil distance needed by lens manufactures. They wanted to charge me another $ 25 dollars for a number they were supposed to include and that I already paid for! Fine! Me and my five family members will take our business elsewhere. This sucks because I knew the old opt. and had gone here for years. Way to take care of your patients, JERKS!!!

This place is horrible. I went here originally to get my exam and waited what felt like forever. A few months later, I called to reorder contacts, and was transferred to leave a message that informed I would get a call back by the end of the business day. No call came. I decided to stop in the clinic and just order in person. I was asked to sit and wait for a tech to come back out. I sat and waited for more than 25 minutes, until the original counter rep decided to go to the back and see what was taking so long. She returned to the front and just said «she has 2 patients back there». I sat for another 10 minutes until finally I just asked for a copy of my prescription as I had just decided to order elsewhere. The response I received was that I was not allowed a copy of my prescription. To my surprise, I asked why. The counter representative got up and walked over to someone else who told her that she could issue it and asked if she knew how which she did not, and continued to restate that she thought they could not issue the prescription so that people had to order through them. The other representative then came over to me and asked if I wanted to order contacts. At this point i was annoyed after already waiting 35 minutes JUST TO PLACE AN ORDER, I simply just asked for a copy of my prescription and left. As I was walking out the door, the girl spoke up across the room and said «Sorry for the inconvenience» in a not so sorry tone.

Have been going here for years, and hated the wait, which was at least 30 minutes. Trying to get around this, the next year I made the first appointment for the day. I arrived, signed in, and waited between 30 and 45 minutes, even though there was no one in front of me. When I mentioned it to the doctor, he kind of chuckled and said why are you in such a hurry. I don’t pay good money to be treated like that. I will never return, you have been warned.

I have been a patient at this office for many years and it’s very sad to say that the receptionist there are very rude and extremely unpleasant to talk to on the phone. Tasha, just hope you are not in the office tomorrow morning.

I was a bit scared after reading the reviews on this place, but I needed an eye appointment desperately because my eyes have been driving me nuts for weeks. They got me in next day!
I came in at 2:15 for my 2:30 appointment, sat down and did paperwork until 2:35 as I was a new patient. Read for about 2 minutes before they called me in for an extremely thorough eye exam. The doctor didn’t hesitate to tell me that my vision was pretty good and while I could get a mild prescription I also could probably live without it if I wanted to just suffer a bit (I plan on redeeming it because its worth it, but it’s good to know I’m not going to get worse if I don’t use them). No upselling or drama. He said I could redeem the prescription for glasses up front at their shop or pursue alternate avenues if I wanted, very laid back guy. I think it was Dr. Brown! He was super understanding and patient as I hadn’t had an eye exam in years and was slightly confused at some instructions.
I went back out and sat down right away with a lens specialist who said I could get glasses there per doc’s recommendations for a price that was a bit high for me, she was completely understanding and we both chatted about our favorite books before parting ways. No rude or incompetent staff as other reviewers mentioned that I noticed. Overall a good experience and I was done in an hour! I would return for sure.

Horrible, horrible, horrible is what you get when you visit inland eye specialists. I have taken my son three times for an exam and waited for over 45 minutes in the lobby. The staff is incompetent and rude. I stayed with them because the optometrist was great. He has since retired and I’m outta there! Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Front office staff is great and Dr. Cury has been great with our family = 5 stars
Eyeglass/​Optical side is hit and miss in regards to service over the last few years. As I sit here writing this review (07.15.2013) I signed in more than 5 minutes ago, there’s no one in here but me and my girls. H is waiting for an eye appointment but neither of the two ladies have acknowledged me or asked if I’ve been helped or need help – I’m sitting in front of them. = FAIL! = 1 star

Great eval by physician. Customer Service by receptionist and tech is lacking. My order was lost to follow up even after I called weekly for a month. I was continually told I would be compensated for my inconvenience and once again no one on the staff followed up. Even after waiting for my glasses for OVER a month! Once I finally did receive my glasses, I was told by the tech that the Office Manager would call me and I never heard back. I will never return for care at the Temecula site.

It doesn’t get better than this! I had probably the best experience that I’ve ever had at an eye appointment. First, Demi the nurse was fantastic. She made me feel important and as if I were the only patient. I wasn’t rushed at all and she showed genuine concern for me. The icing on the eye-​cake was Dr. McDiarmid. He should teach other doctors about bedside manner. He was efficient and friendly. He joked with my daughter and me and made my eye exam the best I ever had. I’ve already made an appointment with him for my husband! Go here. You won’t be disappointed!

Got the most thorough eye exam I’ve ever had here! Totally satisfied. Saw Dr. Cury and I really like him. The customer service from the girls up front was great and I had a friendly staff member helping me choose frames as well. They make good on their warranties also. About 20 months after purchasing prescription sunglasses, they broke and they completely replaced them for me. This is not a discount center but I felt I got better care and service. Great, honest doctors here!

Dr. Cury is wonderful! Even though it took 40 minutes after my actual appointment time to be called back, I recommended Inland Eye Specialists to 2 family members because he is so fabulous. Unfortunately, the had the same experience, even being the first appointment of the day…
The front office does not have it together. When I called to order contacts after waiting a week with the trials, it was a cluster. Took me being passed around and on the phone for 20+ minutes before getting everything squared away. I chalked it up to a bad day and not the norm (hopefully). Well after picking up my new contacts on Saturday, I noticed that I am getting head aches and not seeing as well as I was. After really inspecting the contacts, I noticed the prescription strength is incorrect… too strong. When I called the office, they were less than helpful. Told me they could do nothing until I brought the actual box of contacts in which are ‘special order’. So I now have to take time off work to make it during their business hours and still wait to get the new ones or struggle through until I can make it in on Saturday and wait 5 days for my new contacts… Again, Dr. Cury is fantastic. It’s unfortunate the staff are not complementing his skill and talent.

I don’t often do ratings on doctors, but Dr. Cury was an exceptional doctor, so I felt I needed to weigh in. He is very knowledgeable and takes his time to explain things thoroughly. He is very friendly and allows you to ask all the questions you have without that feeling of being rushed.
While he was waiting for my eyes to dilate, he even took a peek at my 3 yr old son’s eyes (who has obvious amblyopia) and talked to me about him too and gave me his insights! It is obvious he loves what he does and continues to gain knowledge and share it wherever he can! I would recommend him to anyone and will continue to see him! You will not be disappointed if you choose him!
Insurance: Tricare

Dr. Barrat Phillips is the CEO of this medical corporation and as such establishes the business practices thereof. When I was scheduled for my cataract operation I was told I had to PREPAY the deductible on my insurance and this information was shared just days before the operation. I CANCELLED after speaking with Aetna where I was informed that most doctors do not require prepay of deductible but rather bill the patient after the procedure.

Dr. Cury is fantastic. I’ve written two reviews about him already and I’m that this will be my final review.
The office is actuall home to several optometrists aside from Dr. Cury.
There is also an on-​site store to purchase eye glasses as well. Plenty of parking is available, although it may difficult to find store front parking. Just make sure to look both ways before crossing.
We already know you need glasses…
