Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Michael Brice consistently receives exceptional praise from patients across multiple dimensions of care. Patients repeatedly highlight his thorough and comprehensive eye examinations, noting that he takes time to explain procedures, findings, and treatment options in clear, understandable language. His interpersonal skills are frequently commended, with reviewers describing him as personable, friendly, kind, caring, and professional. Patients particularly appreciate that he listens attentively to their concerns, answers all questions without rushing, and maintains excellent eye contact during conversations rather than focusing on computers. His bedside manner creates a comfortable environment where patients feel at ease asking questions and discussing their vision health. Many long-term patients express deep loyalty, with several noting they have been seeing Dr. Brice for 9 to 26+ years, and numerous reviews mention sadness about his upcoming retirement.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms or areas for improvement. A small number of patients provided slightly lower ratings without detailed negative feedback, offering only brief comments like "okay" or "good." One patient mentioned that while Dr. Brice himself is excellent, they would only "somewhat" recommend the office due to Scott & White's higher charges compared to private ophthalmology clinics, though this reflects organizational pricing rather than the provider's care quality. One reviewer noted that staff "don't go overboard on the niceness" but acknowledged they handle high patient volumes effectively. Another patient mentioned a somewhat morbid comment about diabetes complications, though this appeared to be medically accurate information delivered directly.
