Both my wife and I have been patients of Carolina. Drs. Apple and French have been most outstanding in treating us. Both are extremely professional. Their evaluations and treatment to include cataract surgery have been superb. The staff has also been professional and most helpful. Highly recommend Carolina Eye.
Medically & Technically Carolina Eye is great; however, they still need to hone their process or procedure for moving patients through the clinic. For me it took a little over 5 1/2 hours from start to finish, and I had a rather simple and routine laser touch up procedure. And it was the same ten years ago.
I was a brand new patient with a somewhat emergency corneal abrasion. Dr. Del Monte worked me in on a Monday morning. I was so impressed with the front desk efficiency since I was not on their charts for the day. Paul, the technician was compassionate and knowledgeable as he prepped me. Dr. Del Monte treated my very painful condition with knowledge and care. He explained everything well and was obviously thoughtful in his treatment plan. I am now on the road to recovery because of the excellent care I received at Carolina Eye Associates!
Arrived by 6:30 as surgery was scheduled for 6:45. Was not called for surgery until 8:30. I would have appreciated an update on the delay as I had decided to walk out and cancel procedure if not given some explanation or an update by 8:45. Just an update would have been appreciated or an acknowledgement of appreciation for waiting for almost two hours. Nurses and doctors were excellent and could not have been more accommodating or professional. Not very "patient friendly" making folks sit for two hours with no updates nor explanation
