Horrible Service at Spec-Savers Medicross Midrand

Good day , I had an appointment today at Spec-Savers in Midrand Medicross at 16:30.

The service I recieved was horrible and the optemetrist refused to answer questions pertaining to my consultation each time I would ask or enquire.

Firstly the optometrist referred to me by an incorrect patients name and surname and used a wrong file for my appointment which is a violation of the POPI act and was very unprofessional.

When I would ask the optometrist questions about my prescription and my eye conditions she blatantly told me to “google it” and told me that “ You will figure it out”. This is so frustrating because I am paying for a service from a professional and to not even fully receive the service I am paying for renders my appointment useless.

The receptionist was also rude and would proceed to have personal conversations with her colleagues whilst I was speaking to her or enquiring about my consultation. The receptionist blatantly refused for me to utilize my points which have a value of R304.09, despite the fact that I had spoken to a Spec-Savers agent before my appointment and was told that I could utilise them for this service and I was forced to pay the full amount even though i recieved horrible service. The receptionist told me that she would not load my points unless I purchas a spec-savers product. I am really upset and have been a loyal spec savers customer for so long for me to recieve such horrible service.

Reviewer Update
Just an update , this issue was never resolved.

I was called by one of the receptionist who was rude and told me that I should go back to the same optometrist who treated me poorly. Upon looking at the script the optometrist had given me I realised that it was the exact same script I got a few years back from a different branch which is currently straining my eyes. I let the receptionist know that I was not comfortable with that as a solution as I would not want to be mistreated and ****** twice as this optometrist clearly did not conduct my eye test correctly. I was not met with a solution and my matter has since been dismissed.

I will no longer be a customer to spec-savers as they have poor customer service and this experience was so horrible for me. I urge everyone to stay away from that branch or even the company as a whole as they have little to no regard for their customers.
