I WILL ONLY COME HERE IF ITS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. A shard of metal embedded in my eye. Long story short... Never saw a real doctor. A q-tip was used to try and get the object loose. I was sent home with double the pain with the metal still in my eye. Not to mention this was the weekend so I had to wait til Monday for the optometrist to remove. The hospital charged me $650 for a q-tip, dye, and numbing drops. The optometrist charged me $250 for a retina scan, eye test, all of the same materials that the hospital used and the surgical removal of the metal. What a scam by Carolina East. Well done, bravo for being the biggest crooks in town. I just love how the man(opthamologist at Taylor retina) who actually accomplished his job and did twice as much, all while having great patient relations is getting paid half as much as the hospital. The hospital that states "well a service was provided so you have to pay". Well your "service" was botched and I wouldn't send my dog there if I didn't have to. Have a nice day.
