I went to Dr Carlton on the recommendation of co-worker who is also a nurse. I found his "bedside" manner to be rude and abrupt but that is not why I'm only giving 1 star. I took my prescription to Walmart and when the glasses came back I couldn't see anything. They sent them back to the lab to see if the lab had made an error. When they were returned the right eye was better, not great, and the left eye was still very bad. They sent them back one more time and nothing changed. The manager at Walmart said she would call Dr. Carlton and tell him about the problem. She did and said Dr. Carlton said nothing was wrong. At this point (3months later) I finally got my eyes reexamined by Walmart optometrist for which i paid $52.00. They redid the glasses at no charge with the new prescription and i finally have a pair of glasses that i can use. All this time a frustration due to a faulty prescription and an inability by the prescriber to accept that he made an error,

I've only been seeing Dr. Carlton for a short period of time, but had to leave my former optometrist of 23 years when he retired. I can only hope to be with Dr. Carlton that long, as he is terrific with he does. He asks the right questions, listens to the answers, and tries to find out what the issues are.

Dr. Carlton should not be treating young children. He said my son was pretending not to see when my son was almost in tears because he was "failing" his eye test. He should retire or only treat adults.
