Progressive Vision Institute - The Eye Care Center
5201 Hamilton Blvd,
Allentown, PA

Brought my mom in for a glaucoma follow up. 3pm appointment. The receptionist told us that dr Thomas was an hour behind. I had asked right away why the patients were not contacted?! I have another parent in wheelchair at home! We were not seen 3 hours later!i wish I could put a negative rating not a 1.

It's true! The staff is rude, except for maybe one or two staff members. Laura is the rudest. I had to tolerate her, while disliking her, just because I was desperately trying to get figured out by Dr. Luo and her sister, Stella. I must say that I've been through the ringer with this institute. I started seeing Dr. Luo back in 2020. She performed tear duct blockage removal surgery back when I first started seeing her. But, I still was experiencing eye issues. Dr. Luo is kind. But, she lacks knowledge when it comes to complicated eye issues. Except, mine was really not difficult. She just lacked experience because, I was forced to get a second opinion by another eye specialist. In which within 5 minutes, he was able to say that I had a cyst in my eye. I ran back to Dr. Luo, to give her another opportunity to figure me out. And, she still couldn't see the cyst. I went through pregnancy with this issue and was thrown all types of antibiotics. Again, I had to tolerate Laura, who is some type of professional, who would make comments about me in the hallway, right after asking me why i was there for my visit. I could literally hear her. She was very lucky, because I'm a firecracker. But, I always told myself that once Dr. Luo would figure me out. Then I'd flick her off and keep it moving. But, Dr. Luo never figured me out! So, i never got the pleasure to tell Laura about herself. Even, my husband, who no longer goes there either. Says, the same thing about the professionalism over there. I made a third appointment with another eye as specialist. Guess what? There was a cyst in my right eye, like the second opinion doctor said. How the HELL???? How Could that not be identified by Dr. Luo nor her sister is beyond me. I would not recommend this facility for anything serious! I now have to see a eye surgeon to get it evaluated and to see how they can safely, remove the cyst. Dr. Luo is a specialist of the eye but yet she was never able to identify a cyst???!!! I experience lots of floaters. I am very concerned about my eyes. I have been on some harsh antibiotic drops. Shaking my head!! They need to fire Laura, for her unprofessional demeanor! I'm sure that I'm not the only one who feels that way. I'm just speaking up!

Dr. Betsy , thank you so much for saving my eyes and keeping them healthy, and thank you for your staff everyone is so nice and professional. I love going to this place they treat you like family. Thanks, respectfully, Gilbert Martinez .
