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 was transferred to Callahan West and was quickly given an appointment for the next day at the University location. Very good customer service Callahan West. Upon arrival, I was able to drop my mother off in her wheelchair in the drop off lane while I parked. The check in experience was pleasant. The waiting room was comfortable on the 4th floor. There was a 45 minute wait time, probably because of last minute scheduling. The entire process was about 2.5 hours. Overall the service was good. I would go 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
