  2. Went to see him for a cataract to be fixed was very disrespectful did not say it but in other words called me a liar was very arrogant about himself at the end of the exam he got up out of his chair open the door stood in the doorway and …

  3. Promptly taken in office within 5 minutes of arriving. Staff and doctor all professional and polite. Second time I have been there for medical eye problem(each tmie a different problem(.

  4. I was scheduled for an emergency appointment. The appointment time was 2pm and I was not called back to be seen until 3:30. I had a follow up appointment later in the week and had a wait time of an hour and a half again. This type of scheduling is not acceptable to someone who works. I will not be returning.

  5. Ive been seeing Melissa Kressley for several years. Recently in Sewickley.previously in Avalon.Melissa is very professional and the receptionist at Sewickley. is very nice and friendly. The person who took my info was a bit rude. Dont know her name.

  6. I am used the Sewickley Eye Group for at least 15 years or more; I have been very satisfied with all of the Care I have received from the front desk to the excellent and professional doctors. Thanks

  7. They were great, and got me an appointment before I left on vacation to check an eye infection. I was very thankful that they got me in within 2 days and prescribed an antibiotic that I could use while on vacation.

  8. Oh. My. Good. Lord. Why is it ok to have 2 dozen people just sit and wait for hours in your office? Do you not have enough doctors? Overbooking? Who wants to sit for hours? I don’t get it. Time is fleeting. It’s nice outside. We’re all …

  9. Was seen at the time of the appointment. All questions were answered and the entire staff was very helpful and friendly. Was very impressed and I recommend them highly.

  10. I’m very disappointed with this place. My husband went for a follow up a month ago because the contacts they order didn’t feel right. So the doctor reorder them. And it’s been a month and I haven’t heard back from them. I called them last …

  11. Waited a while to be helped with glasses…service was poor, passed off to other employees. When it came time to pick up my glasses, I was handed them stilled rolled in paperwork. I put them on and almost vomited…they were NOT my …

  12. All of the doctors here are always so professional and very kind, but Dr. Bowers and Dr. Baumwell especially are very experienced and always make me feel relaxed and in very good hands. …

  13. Optometrists are wonderful. The eye glass staff is awful. Something is going on. Interesting to watch and listen to their power-plays with the drs. One man seems to be the ringleader. He has a real attitude problem with everyone and seems …

  14. Dr. Bowers was the most outright, disrespectful doctor I have ever encountered. He has a presence that he is too good for you and that you are wasting his time. He told my 80+ year old grandpa to be quiet (when he was explaining his …

  15. From the beginning, when I was sent to eye and ear no one had a clue as to why i was sent there despite reaching out to “Sarah” for guidance the testing that needed done prior to surgery.

  16. I’m surprised to see the negative comments. I recently had an eye injury which turned into an infection and spread to the other eye. I visited two locations — Avalon and McKees — front desk polite and efficient, wait time minimal, Dr. …

  17. Long wait time, 3:00 appt not seen for an hour. The computers were down do they couldnt give me a price on glasses with my insurance, and I was assured I would be called the next day. Nope. Of course not. After reading these reviews I am …

  18. I’d like to put my two cents in. To echo an earlier review: doctors are fine; office staff are off the charts horrible. Wait time, scheduling, attitude, helpfulness, demeanor, horrible. We recently had an eye emergency for our 5 year …

  19. My first contact was short with me when I couldn’t visualize her instructons. After repeated instructions she provided assistance. I am a senior citizen and am entering another season of maturity. Patience with all patients.

  20. I agree with reviews of long wait times and poor service reference by other users. The I am most upset about the lack of transparency with services and billing. I was charged for many things that I was told were included in the standard …

  21. I have nothing but good things to say about SEG. Dr. Varga was very kind and answered all my questions regarding my eyesight. And Cindy in optical was incredibly helpful! I’m very glad to be a patient.

  22. Very unhappy with my visit. I was having major fluctuations in my vision and neither the tech nor the doctor took me seriously. They were very condescending, telling me I just must be imagining it or somehow otherwise mistaken. They gave me …

  23. Love the doctor. Office staff is horribly rude. Gave them my insurance was cut off and scolded bc it wasn’t the number they wanted. Tried to ask a question and was given major attitude and told to call my insurance. Just canceled my …

  24. We have used various services provided by Sewickley Eye Group for many years. Including cataract surgeries and macular degeneration treatments, also optometric services. Excellent doctors and staff have served us well.

  25. Appt in Nov 2019 for contacts and was asked to bring in old contact box to help with prescription. I did as requested. I was in the process of moving and updated my address and phone number upon my arrival with the receptionist. Verified …

  26. They are very good about keeping things clean. Fast service but spend time with you for any questions you may have. Everyone is so polite and friendly. Very happy with this eye group. I have told a few friends about them.

  27. My right eye swelled shut. I called and they got me in. It was determined I had a blocked gland. They prescribed an antibiotic for the next 5 days. My eye became worse so I called again and they got me in that morning. The Dr prescribed a …

  28. Dr Baumwell of Sewickley Eye Group is a very competent and friendly doctor. My husband and I have been seeing him for at least 30 years. He has done procedures on my husbands eyes since he is a diabetic. His employees are also efficient and friendly. We feel in competent hands there.

  29. A very good appointment. I saw Dr Baumwell. The routine eye exam was done in a friendly, competent manner and its always good to see Dr Baumwell. An added plus was that I was in and out in a little over an hour.
    Great experience!

  30. I have been a patient for several years. While the wait times are horrible, the doctors and specialists are outstanding. I have bilateral uveitis and while there is no cure, the docs have done everything medically feasible to control and …

  31. Appointment started on time. Met with two professional and friendly staff
    Had a test or two done. Eye drops were placed which take 20 to 30 minutes to take effect. I waited an hour and 10 minutes. The total appointment time was three hours

  32. Very caring and efficient staff , Jackie goes out of her way to make sure things go smoothly , and if there is an unforeseen delay or problem , she goes above and beyond to make things right . Everyone needs to understand the challenges facing every aspect of healthcare today and give credit where it is due !

  33. It was s long appointment from beginning to end (3 hrs) but I was also a first time patient.
    The office staff was helpful, the technicians professional, and Dr. Bauers was very pleasant, and gave clear explanations of everything.

  34. Everyone was so helpful from the time I walked in without a mask and they were able to give me one. I had no idea what to expect and was just a tad nervous. The ladies who did my exam were so kind and explained every step along the way.

  35. I was very pleased with Sewickley Eye Group. I was able to get an appointment pretty quickly and I did not have to wait long at all once I go there. The staff and the doctor were all very nice and able to help me with the problem I was having. I would recommend them.

  36. The Sewickley Eye Group very kindly took me on as a “new” patient when I was visiting family in Sewickley, including seeing me on a Saturday morning. The staff were very friendly and professional. And reassuring me that a severely blood …

  37. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because I liked the doctors. Dr. Kressley was very nice and asked me if I wore glasses or contacts, I told him I wore glasses but my previous doctor gave me a sample of a new contact last year right …

  38. I took my client to an eye appointment today at Sewickley Eye Group. The doctor thought it was appropriate to place tape on my client’s face to make sure her mask stays up! Didn’t even ask her for permission first or let her know what he …

  39. I’ve gone here for years, seen various doctors and, overall, have been satisfied with my treatment. I was seen recently though and the tech (person who took me in the exam room first) was extremely rude. I try very hard to be kind and I …

  40. Excellent doctors. Have total trust in them. Saw Dr Labriola for the 1st time and she is the best. Took time to explain everything to me and gave me visuals of my eyes to help me understand the problem. All the Doctors in the practice are great. Thank you!

  41. I had previously posted a less than positive review based on the poor attitudes I encountered with technicians and desk staff on the day of an earlier appointment. Perhaps I caught everyone on a bad day, or perhaps the situation was …

  42. Very pleased with my appointment at Sewickley Eye Group. Everyone from reception through Dr. Baumwell and everyone in between were professional and courteous. I received a very thorough exam. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

  43. Sewickley Eye Group are top notch professionals. I had a accident at work where a 10 lb fire extinguisher 🧯 discharged in my face. The dry chemical power went into my left eye. …

  44. The safety procedures and the check in was easy and Julianne was so friendly and efficient. Dr. Varga, my Optometrist was wonderful and answered all my concerns. Bea, my optician, was patients and helpful. All the staff is friendly and I always find the perfect pair of glasses.

  45. I have been going to Sewickley eye group for several years and am very pleased. Everyone is very professional and kind. They explain every procedure to me and I feel comfortable.If I have a problem it is quickly solved. I see Dt Bowers and feel very confident in his abilitys.

  46. Great service, kind and friendly staff, fast service. Everyone is nice from the office staff, to the doctors, and everyone in between. Very informative even with the choosing and fitting of my glasses.
    Dr. Bowers is very thorough and I’m thankful for his service.

  47. Most of the staff is pleasant with the exception of the older gray haired woman that helps with glasses selections. I’ve encountered her a few times. She’s quite rude and could care less about her job or anything else. Seems like you’re always inconveniencing her. Other than that everyone else is pleasant.

  48. I missed 4 appointments from being in the hospital and have another appointment with Sewickley Eye. I am going next week and they were so nice on the phone and I know I’m in good hands.

  49. So fortunate to have Dr. Bowers as my eye doctor. He is such a caring,kind and gentle doctor. I have to say that was the most thorough exam I have ever had. From the moment I walked into the office I knew I was in the right place. The …

  50. Everyone I came in contact with was very friendly and everything was explained so that I could understand easily what was being done and what my problem is. Would highly recommend Sewickley Eye Group. As a new patient I really appreciated being squeezed in for an appointment.

  51. I am always treated well here, they are all professional and courteous. They were wonderful with my mom when she went there and they are good to me. Dr. Bowers is very thorough and Dr. Baumwell treated my mom and he has such a wonderful caring bedside manner, as well as Dr. Bowers.

  52. Horrible experience here. Poorly run practice with too many staff that don’t know what they are doing. Receptionists loud and harsh with patients. Waited 1/12 hours before walking out without seeing a doctor. They parade you around to 2 …

  53. Rude staff at the front desk as well as the older female in the optics area. Dr is great! Can’t believe they’re still requiring face mask. It’s one thing for it to be optional but another to have staff tell you it’s a must. Ridiculous!

  54. The Dr. Was wonderful, but when I was brought to the optics area I was handed off to a woman named B. She was aggressive. She made rude comments about which glasses I was picking and about my face. Then while talking about lenses she made …

  55. Everyone is very friendly, except the first lady that initially takes you back. No personality whatsoever. Dr Labriola is excellent. Short wait times. Overall very good practice.

  56. Great people, great service, great convenience. Everyone here was perfect.. Loving Dr Varga.. first eye exam in decades.. heard peoples stories about air blowing in eyes and hating some tests but walked in and this place was absolutelly …

  57. Friendly, thorough, professional.
    I wouldn’t go anywhere else and highly recommend Sewickley Eye Group. My usual office is Ohio Valley, but I’ve also been to Sewickley office. Both are great!!

  58. I’ve been a patient of the Sewickley Eye Group for years but now I’m in the process of looking for other care. The practice has really changed and they no longer provide even satisfactory care. They wrote a prescription a month ago that …

  59. This office may provide outstanding medical attention but they have no regard to their patients time. Her appointment was for 8:40 and we are now just seeing the doctor at 10:19 who only gave her about 30 seconds of attention. I myself would not recommend.

  60. Richard Bowers, MD is truly a “Shining Star” at Sewickley (PA) Eye Associates. I noticed how often I mentioned his name in group settings leading up to my cataract procedures and received positive feedback about Dr. Bowers. Not even ONCE …

  61. Dr. Bowers is a true professional, who knows his craft. I trust him with my eyesight. Performed cataract procedure on my right eye seamlessly. I highly recommend Dr. Bowers for any of your vision and eye care needs. …
