The staff are caring and thorough in guiding you through the building, explaining their billing policies and procedures along with your treatment options. The doctors are caring, and thorough in explaining their diagnoses and their recommended treatment options. Years after my cataract implants, I developed "secondary cataracts" which is not an unusual nor unexpected occurrence, as I had been counseled at SEES at the time of my cataract surgery that this might well happen. I now live 600 miles from Chattanooga, but having complete confidence in Dr. Bierly and SEES, I decided to return to have him perform the 2 minute laser procedure. Being the expert that he is, Dr. Bierly does not perform this, or most other surgeries or treatments, on both eyes on the same day. As expected, this treatment (YAG capsulotomy) went quite well, and I plan to return to SEES to have the same procedure done on my other eye.

Several tests were performed and several photographs of each eye were taken. By that time it was around 4:30 PM. After waiting for another 25 minutes or so and failing to get the attention of two or three techs who walked past the doorway of the room where I was waiting I got (fed) up, told the girl at the front desk who knew how long I'd waited that "this just isn't working for me" and walked out; no questions, no reaction, nothing. I did not receive any follow-up call either later that day or the following day and that was after I left a message on the 24th and another one on the 25th. What a waste of time and money and for that they can kiss my future business goodbye.

There are moments in life when you find yourself completely out of your element, far from home, and…read moregenuinely scared. That was me. I live in Northern California, and I was in Tennessee when my retina detached. The thought of potentially losing vision in one of my eyes, while being 2,000 miles from my doctors, my people, and my comfort zone, was terrifying. Southeastern Retina Associates was exactly what I needed when I needed it most. From the moment I walked in, something shifted. The receptionist set the tone immediately. Warm, grounded, no pretense. That feeling carried through every single person I encountered, right up to the doctor. This wasn't a place where staff are just doing their jobs. These are people who genuinely seem to understand that the person sitting across from them is scared and needs more than clinical competence. They need to feel safe. And I did. The care was top-notch, but honestly, it was the humanity behind it that I will remember. When you're far from home and your eyesight is on the line, trust is everything. I trusted every person in that office. If you are visiting from out of state, or even if you are local and need a retina specialist, I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. They showed up for me in a way I won't forget

The staff is very kind. It isn't hard to get an appointment or speak to someone directly. The ONLY negative is - it's an all day event. It takes forever! The waiting room always is comfy. They have coffee, water, candy and flat screens with HGTV. It's never hot or stuffy. Front desk staff keeps us laughing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. On a personal side note-i was working a great job when I came in EMERGENCY. It was then I learned I would not drive or work and was going blind. My whole world changed. I lost my job and insurance. Dr G said my eyes were more important than money and they would work with me. His bedside manor is unlike any other.

After she went over my medical conditions she asked me if I wanted my eyeglasses checked but if I do, I have to charge you. I said don't know why check my eyeglasses it's the same prescription you wrote me last year. So she dilated my eyes. When I asked why they didn't check my vision, they said I chose not to. No I didn't. That's the whole reason I came here was to have my vision checked. Now I have to miss work again to come in for their mistake to get my eyes checked for my yearly exam..

Dr. Yablick at the Chattanooga Eye Institute performed cataract surgery on him a few weeks ago, and has given him no less than a miracle.

He is happier than I can remember and is so very thankful for Dr. Yablick and the entire staff at the Chattanooga Eye Institute, and he HIGHLY RECOMMENDS!

I Can See!!! After…read moredecades of wearing glasses and my old man eyes finally getting to the point of being absolutely done with buying glasses every year I decided to do something about it. I haven't known many people who have had eye surgery and I was slightly hesitant since they are my eyes after all. After reading the countless google reviews for Dr. Woolfson praising his work and the experience overall I decided it was time. I met first with Dr. Burns and some assistants and everyone was friendly and professional. I was super excited to get scheduled for a week or two later! Day of surgery I showed up with my eye drops and only a tiny bit of anxiety because again it's my eyes after all. The procedure really is only a couple minutes long. You don't really feel much other than a slight pressure and you see a bunch of lights. Once it's done it's hard to imagine why I waited so long to get it done! Tips: go home to a dark relaxing place so try all your eye drops right after surgery. An hour or so later your eyes want to rest and a nap is good. Eye drops are more important than you can imagine! After surgery you can already read! I haven't been able to read without glasses in decades! A week later you cannot believe you can read with no glasses, but distance is weird. A month later distance is now getting better and better. My eyes are so much better it's amazing. I mean literally amazing and such a change for my life! I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Woolfson and his associates!
