I am not normally someone who posts reviews on Yelp, but, because of the frequency with which…read morevisits to the doctor can become visits to your local medical hellscape, I wanted to write a note about the Eye Center. Every visit I have had here has been absolutely wonderful. I seldom have to wait beyond the scheduled time for my appointment, and, when the appointment does begin, the staff are courteous, caring, and attentive to what I am physically feeling. The women working in the optical division of the Eye Center are nothing short of wonderful, as well (my particular experience has been with Emily, whom I would credit for ensuring that I do not prematurely develop blindness). I tend to be very critical of doctors (medical jargon doesn't impress me, in the words of Julia Sugarbaker), and I've never had anything but wonderful experiences here. If your insurance covers the Eye Center, I would heartily encourage you to go. The facility is lovely and maintained impeccably, and the staff and doctors are a delight.

My old Eye Doctor back in my hometown only had 1 person working in the office. It always seemed that I was in and out quickly. There are 3 providers that I know of here. I lost count of the number of people working in this business, this just needlessly drives up the cost of care in my opinion. My primary issue is I was careless and let the provider prescribe a contact lens that did not work correctly. I made contact and was told they would order a trial lens and call me back for another fitting That was months ago and I still have not heard back. I'm not going back, and it's a shame because this clinic is almost within walking distance from my home.

To say I was impressed with Dr Ambrose, the front desk folks, technicians and optical woman is an understatement. Everyone was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Ambrose showed me and taught me things no other doctor had in the past. The eye test for prescription was done by her. What a difference than what I was used to. She took time, answered questions and explained various pertinent information about the eyes. She also has a sincere, warm hearted and enthusiastic personality. Thank you Dr. Ambrose and Williamsburg Eye Care staff.

The main reason why I was hesitant because of a bad experience with another office. Dr Barley was very informative throughout the exam. He had told me my sight was getting better then worse which I had originally thought. During the exam he had showed me what I was wearing compared to what I needed which was a big difference. I would highly recommend this office. The whole staff is friendly.

I would recommend this place.

I went on ahead and ordered a 6 month supply of eye contacts which were ready for pickup at the end of the week. There you have it. Another annual eye exam in the books. See y'all in a year :)

If you want to see a doctor that knows about your eyes and cares about your vision, then I would recommend giving him a chance.

He made a comment joking about needing brain surgery and said that if he had to get a brain, he would choose a female brain because women "never used them." I found this especially upsetting because my uncle, whom I am very close with, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, so hearing him joke about brain surgery was particularly insensitive and uncomfortable for me. The comments continued throughout the appointment and made me feel increasingly uneasy. He also discouraged my goal of becoming a thoracic surgeon, saying that women in the workplace do not do very well because they always want time off. As a young woman with goals of pursuing a career in medicine, I found these comments extremely discouraging and inappropriate. I expected to be treated with professionalism and respect, but instead I left feeling uncomfortable because of the way he spoke about women and my future career.
