So, I have been a patient at Carolina Eyecare for many years. Dr Boatwright is one Of the best eye…read moredoctors in the area. However, I was scheduled last year for an appointment in May 2026 and I just recently was canceled since Dr Boatwright won't be available. My new appointment could be as early as November. I am very distressed and a bit angry, but I think I will find a different practice!

What I have learned from my experience with this business is that they don't prioritize or value…read moreyour time. I made an appointment with them for an inflammation in my eye and was not seen by the doctor for almost 2 hours after my appointment was scheduled. I also explained to him a concern for a specific blood test due to my family history , and he wrote me a referral for blood work, but didn't include what I had mentioned. Then, when that information got worse i called to make an appointment or see if they could write me a stronger prescription eye drop for my condition. Instead of telling me they couldn't write a prescription without an appointment they had me wait, and wait, and wait for a call back i was told i would get but never came. I called several times, and finally got my answer. So now my condition is worsening and I have wasted time I could've spent making an appointment else where. I have no issue with there not being time for an appointment, but to not respect my time and condition is disappointing. Will not be returning.

1. After my eye exam I was given a specific eye test (due to a medication I am taking) by a staff…read moremember. This test took aprox 45-50 min due to the staff member struggling with operating the machine. She said she was "not sure about the machine.". After an hour she still wasn't certain the "machine was working properly". 2.Told me the prescription she had written was good for glasses and contacts. 3.After approx one more hour Dr House told me the prescription written could not be used for both glasses and contacts. He also told me the dosage for a medication I am currently taking was not accurate and he was sending a message to the Dr. Since the eye test and prescription given by the staff member proved to be inaccurate I asked him didn't he think the results could be user error? Regardless Dr House sent the msg anyway. 4.Dr House told me a staff member would call me in one week to let me know my trial pair of contacts were in and I would be scheduled to see him at 1:15 that same day so I would not have to wait (after over 2 hours today) because he wants to have the eye test redone. (Yet, he'd already sent a msg to my doctor? He also wrote me a prescription for glasses and contacts but refused to give me the prescription for contacts because he insisted I come Back to their practice for a trial pair of contacts of which they charge $50 to the patient. 5. I checked out and front office staff said the Dr wants to see me in a year! I told the lady the next appointment he'd told me would be at 1:15 and he would give me the test again that day. 6.A few days later the office manager called to tell me the staff member that assisted me was fired for several different reasons. ??? 7.My appointment was 2/9/26. As of 2/27/26 I have not received any notification about trial contacts or returning for a 1:15 appointment so the eye test could be repeated. 8.This week I saw an ophthalmologist at MUSC who repeated the test and told me other than dry eyes, my eyes are great. No prescription was given due to dry eyes causing vision difficulty. 9.Today I received an insurance notice from PEEBA filed by Eye Center of Charleston for $300+. Also stating the amount billed to insurance was over the limit. 10. This claim filed was for an erroneous test and incomplete appointment as I was refused a contact prescription (which I have received no contact for) as well as the follow up appointment.

Dr Vitta was very thorough, addressing some eye health concerns I had and putting me at ease. I followed up with a purchase of frames and lenses, working with Ms Colette Mack. She was patient with me while I tried on nearly every frame they had, helping me find just the right glasses. I was equally impressed with her when I picked my glasses up. This is the most accurate prescription I've had in years! I can see so clearly now! I am grateful to the terrific staff at this office and I would recommend them highly to anyone needing eyecare!

I asked not to be dilated since I was going to work. They were OK with that, but want to do it next time. I'm OK with that but need to either make sure I'm off that day OR have an afternoon appointment. Everyone in the front office was really friendly. Dr Knowlton was the examining Dr today.
