Need an eye exam and decided this year to skip Costco and get a thorough exam…read more Wow! This place is about as thorough as you can get. I must have been on 6-7 different machines. I have cataracts, so there is always a little more going on than average. I really felt they made sure to cover all the bases and give all the options about when to have surgery and have them removed. Highly highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr Lolley for many years. She is now with a practice called Triavision, I know…read moreshe has an office in Gardendale, but I'm unsure where else. She did surgery on both of my eyes for cataracts in about 2013, with excellent results. In my opinion, it would be difficult to find a better opthalmologist in the Birmingham, AL area.

Dr. Lolley is an excellent doctor. I've been a patient for 4 years starting at Callahan Eye Clinic…read more She started Triavision 2 years ago and recently referred me to her colleague, Dr. Smith for dry eyes. Dr. Smith seems to be extremely knowledgeable. What I must forewarn you about with Triavision is the office support process and staff, or lack of it per se. For 2 years I have been battling eye infections related to dry eyes and needing more care than twice a year visits. This practice is impossible to communicate with. If they answer the phone, no one returns calls. If you send a text, no one responds. No one reads portal messages and I have had ongoing issues getting appointments, prescriptions, prior authorizations and general questions answered. When attempt to escalate, no one in management returns your call, no one assumes accountability for mistakes, no improvement has been made and my eye care has been compromised. I like the doctors but I think they're clueless for how the patients are being treated since their office leadership is not fully engaged. My impression is that they are attempting to be big and let AI run their operations which does not hold anyone accountable for healthcare results. If this doesn't change soon, I am going back to Callahan Eye Clinic where an administration will engage to ensure patients' needs are met on a daily basis.

As persistent ocular troubles were plaguing me, I was referred here by my insurance, so I didn't…read morepick Alabama Ophthalmology Associates but I was satisfied overall. I only saw Dr. Phillips, and he was able to diagnose my troubles. I guess I would describe Dr. Phillips as sort of grandfatherly; he asked me questions about what I do and would comment on current news stories. The front desk staff and nurses were polite and professional. Marie, the contact lens fitter, is a nice lady who is patient, willing to explain everything and often just starts explaining things without you asking, and is dedicated to putting you in the best possible lenses. She also doesn't push you to buy contacts from them which is something I always worry about. I think Marie is part of the optical shop side of AOA (Optiks), but I'll just include her here. Minus one star because of the unpredictable doctor wait times. I always get an early morning appointment, and I've waited anywhere from -5 minutes to 70 minutes past my appointment time to be shown back.

So here is the deal.... If you want a good eye exam but don't mind it taking longer than most…read moreplaces then UAB eye care is the place to go. You can see optometry students or residents or attending physicians. If you opt for a student be prepared for the exam to take about 2 hours. The students are very thorough but have to clear things with the resident or attending. If you opt for the resident be prepared for the exam to take 1-1 1/2 hours. The resident has more experience but depends on their speed and thoroughness as to how long it will take. The attending is most experienced so tends to take the shortest amount of time but that also depends on their schedule. This past week I saw this years resident and he was not the fastest. He was super laid back and didn't seem to be in a rush to get anything done. He also had 2 other patients he was working on so this visit was longer than usual. I like that they are thorough here as an optometry school so I tend to come yearly to see someone. This may not be for everyone - especially those in a hurry. But with all my eye issues, I will take the extra time.

He showed me very little consideration, compassion or benevolence. At one point, I tried to describe my symptoms to him and he literally interrupted me and said he would discuss my concerns at later point in the exam; at a time when he was ready and then he stood up and left me sitting in the chair. There is a big difference between a physician with credentials and a doctor who can establish rapport and optimize communication. I would not refer anyone to him. I researched Physician Read and his Bio looked so promising. I was looking so forward to meeting him and building a Dr./Pt. relationship. However, within the first few minutes of meeting him, I realized I had made a mistake and he shattered my image of him. I was truly saddened. Bradley Harden bradleycmc@gmail.com
