My wife and I have seen Dr Ireland several times and we've always found her attentive, thorough, and very easy to speak with. I have been seeing Opthalmologists at least twice a year for all of my life, and I think Dr Ireland is the best. Her staff is also excellent.

As far back as I can remember, health insurance carriers have never covered the charge for refractions. I used to ask my Opthalmologists not to include refractions in their billing and the carrier would then honor the full cost of the visit. Now that health care billing has gotten so specific or granular as they say, they have to identify every minute procedure during the visit. St Luke's (Dr Ireland) also requires separate payment for refractions.
