Dr. Arnold Cummins’ habitual inability to arrive to work on time while keeping patients waiting with no apparent concern about it is baffling. Additionally, the fact that I wasn’t able to schedule an appointment prior to a week in advance because the doctor does not know his schedule “that far out,” requiring me to call every few days and pester Ashley is ludicrous. He needs better time management and organization. Apparently he answers to no one and has no care for others’ time. The “traffic” excuse is weak. Leave your house earlier! It is not that hard to get to work at 10am, especially when everyone knows there will be “traffic.” When I arrived with my children for our scheduled appts at 10:00 on the dot, we were told the doctor was “stuck in traffic” and would not be there for at least another 30 minutes. At 10:45, we were told he would not be there until 11:30, again citing “traffic.” I am not sure if “traffic” is code for something else, but his tardiness, which occurred at our last appt a year ago and my other children’s appointments, cost my son 2 hours’ pay, an entire day scrambling for a new doctor, and had I been late, I would have still been charged the full rate, not a prorated one. The doctor’s lateness, however, does not afford me a discounted rate for discounted performance. I obviously left and will be taking my business elsewhere. The other staff is friendly, but the doctor is seriously sub par. 👎🏽

I’m not one to write reviews, but I’ve had such a great experience here from beginning to end! I tried booking eye exams at other offices and have had to wait months at a time. Here I’ve only had to wait 2 weeks for the exam, and less than a week to pick up my new glasses! Though all of my experiences at Walmart and Walmart vision center have not been pleasant, I felt very comfortable and informed through my visit. As a disabled person, simple things like attending appointments can be difficult. But Dr. Cummings has shown me care I’ve never received from any doctor! He was attentive, patient, kind, and walked me through everything I needed to know. Couldn’t recommend them more!!

Went to get my glasses replaced got the great news that I qualified for a free pair under the guarantee much happier here than in previous eye centers but I have had a bad experience before here so always be alert Update unfortunately my glasses were falling off my face so I tried fixing them but I couldn’t put the screw back in so today July 28 2022 I went back for this emergency 🚨 and guess what I was immediately called over by a handsome and professional older gentleman that patiently listened to what my problem was which is important he then immediately went to work while I took advantage of being at Walmart because gas ⛽️ is too expensive you know what I mean and when I came back we worked on a small adjustment and bam 💥 my glasses were Perfect 🤩 for me !!! And guess what when I went to pay for their services he surprised me and said there was zero charge like 0.00 cents thank you Walmart and the eye center I look forward to my next visit 😀
