I actually think Dr. White is quite nice and amiable. However, he charges for both a regular exam and a contact lens fitting every year. I called another optometrist (the one I am switching to) and after your initial intake, each subsequent year is merely an inclusive ""contact lens exam"" that covers the impact of the contact on your eye health. They don't see a need to fit you if they know your size already, etc., I guess. They do say that they have to do a ""regular exam"" on top of the contact lens exam every other year--this works well with my health care plan as I'm only covered for a regular exam every other year. It seems Dr. White would like to get as much $ as possible by doing both every year. After I complained and asked for an explanation as to why I needed to be ""fitted"" for contact lenses I had worn of the same brand and size for the past 2 years, he offered me a discount on that exam, but not really an explanation. I'm sure this is standard practice at other optometrists too...I just found one that will check for my eye HEALTH every year without the excess charges. Try BrightonEyeCare and ask for Louis. He can explain the way they work to you and is very knowledgeable.
Pros: Friendly doctor, cool gadgets (you don't have to have that spurt of air in your eye)
Cons: Too expensive--extra charges
