Are there any optometrists available for sunday visit?!


Question:

Are there any optometrists available for sunday visit?

any recommendations for a new optometrist in the east bay area (of SF)? preferably in/around Walnut Creek.


Answers:

No recommendations because I am over a thousand miles to the west. But, I think you will find the great majority of optometrists do not take appointments for standard vision care examinations on Sunday. Many doctors, though, such as myself are on 24 hour emergency medical call seven days a week. For example, just this morning on the way to church I received a call from a patient with a red painful eye. Upon meeting him at the office I found he had a large piece of metal in the eye that needed removal. Waiting until Monday would have caused him dramatically more pain and made the procedure more difficult. So I guess what I am saying is you can tell alot about how much a doctor cares about the well being of his patients by how willing he is to be inconvenienced to render emergency medical care. This may help you find the right new optometric physician (optometrist).
