I used to like dr. Vickers now all he cares about is money don't go there he wants his copay before he does anything cash only. The first time I went there I have something in my eye after going to another eye doctor who gave me eye drops Dr V told me he was going to prescribe the same eye drops but to use what I had left over and if I needed more to call them.I called 2weeks later because I needed the drops he said I needed he said wasn't going to call any eye drops without paying cash copay 1st he doesn't want to help me he only wants to copayNot a doctor who cares
