Best Pediatric Ophthalmologist Saint Louis Near Me

Sunny 007: Very unprofessional and rude, don’t know how to treat a toddler. Better look somewhere else.

Brandon: I’ve been going to Dr Blatt for my eye care for over ten years. His staff is friendly & knowledgeable. Dr. Blatt is very thorough, knowledgeable, and always very kind. I’m very appreciative of the care they provide. Thank you!!

Susanne Byerly: Dr. Merriman is great. I received an incorrect prescription from another optometrist. Dr. Merriman conducted a thorough exam and corrected the Rx. I left with contact lenses that no longer hurt my eyes. I highly recommend her.

Jennifer Burgoyne: Dr Blatt and Dana are LIFE CHANGERS. My family has lazy eyes as a genetic thing -- but mine got to be worse and worse as I aged, to the point where my left eye was almost completely turned in (originally it would only drift if I was tired). I was in severe pain every day and seeing in general was not easy.Dr Blatt and staff worked with me and my schedule to get surgery sorted out and completed. It's been almost two months since and my eye is still perfectly straight. Added bonus: no more day long headaches or migraines so bad that my eye turns all the way in. This is one of the best things I've ever done for myself and I have Dr Blatt to tank for that.Added note: I have severe anxiety and am always nervous about all the little details and things that could go wrong. Dr Blatt and Dana made sure all my questions were answered and took all of my fears very seriously and made sure I was completely confident and comfortable before surgery. I have never felt more well taken care of my anyone (except maybe my own mother).Thank you all so much. You've honestly given me back my life, Dr Blatt.

Brie Sayles: Staff who answers the phone are rude and have no beside manner. I came in so much pain .. I was crying. My eyes were burning. On my way there the receptionist contacted me and let me know I had a 150 bill that had to be paid or I couldn’t be seen despite the situation. I have excellent healthcare benefits and double coverage. I asked her for the claim information so I could call my insurance company.. her response was.. i can cancel the appoint for you..I was taken back because I just wanted to call my insurance company to see why they didn’t pay and have them pay it. I had to repeat myself so many times. And explain why I needed the appoint to stay scheduled..She gave me the hardest time and after going back and forth she finally gave it to me. Turns out Last year when I was seen for the same situation... in 2018 .. they did not submit the claim and had the wrong info until feb of 2019 which is why it was denied . The receptionist was very rude saying it didn’t matter and that I would either pay or not be see and the insurance company will reimburse me..I called my claim rep and he called them and said no since this was their mistake they will resubmit the claim and be paid accordingly. From then when I came in. In tears.. in extreme pain I waited close to 25 minutes to be seen. They were very rude did not so much as bat an eye .. no beside manner.. the doctor was nice but if they allow this type of behavior I do not recommend.. on top of that the doc says she doesn’t know why my eyes are swelling and writes me a prescription.. sending me out the office in pain.. I needed to change where the pharmacy to a different location the staff still gave me the hardest time. Never asked me was I ok. Never showed any empathy. Just cold short . And unfriendly.. RACISM IS SUTTLE IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN BLATANT.. BUT IN EVERY WAY THEY SHOWED THEY DID NOT CARE FOR ME AS A PATIENT AND HAD NO REGARD FOR HOW I MAY HAVE BEEN FEELING IN THAT MOMENT.. DO NOT GO HERE THAT IS MY TRUEST RECOMMENDATION.. THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY & UN ORGANIZED..

Latoya Ford: I personally would recommend this office to anyone because of the care that was given to me. This office was recommended to me from the ER. At that time I had no medical insurance but in need of emergency care and they didn't turn me away. I would like to thank the doctors and staff for helping me when i really needed them. From the bottom of my heart and my family once again we would like to say thank you.

Paul Benenati (PB): Worth the wait to see Dr. Blatt. One of the top specialists out there. The entire staff is amazing!!

Marlo Hendricks: The pediatrician thought my 3 year old needed glasses. We went here, AWFUL. He was scared the whole time, they did nothing to help comfort him or make the eye exam any comfortable. He had no idea what the 'symbols' were so he was unable to identify them, not because he couldn't see them, but because he didn't know what they were (even I had trouble with identifying one). The doctor, Merriman, was very rude and seemed annoyed by our presence. She became frustrated when my son wouldn't look where she wanted him to, and tried to actually hold his head still-which did not go over well with him or me . Staff was not friendly. Optical shop was nice, good selection and the woman there was nice (only reason for the 1 star). Go elsewhere for your childs sake.

Valerie Burgess: Very unprofessional and rude. Look elsewhere. First, make this place the last.

Sheila Smude: LOVE Dr. Blatt. The entire office makes my little guy feel so comfortable.

Tom Nagl: Very happy I went here. Dr. Blatt is a great doctor and the staff there is top notch.
