I was referred to Coastal Eye Group by an ED doctor because of cellulitis in my eyelid. The initial…read moretriage nurse was wonderful--compassionate and attentive--but unfortunately, the rest of the visit quickly went downhill. The nurse who took my measurements and dilated my eyes was extremely rude. My husband, concerned that the drops being used might worsen my condition, asked a simple question, and instead of reassurance, her response was snarky: "It's protocol." To put this in perspective, I was dealing with a painful stye that had turned into cellulitis and had already been suffering for three days. Rather than feeling cared for, I felt dismissed. The entire office had the atmosphere of a factory--patients processed as quickly as possible with little regard for comfort or understanding. This was one of the most impersonal medical experiences I've ever had, and I would strongly recommend steering clear of this practice.

They practice safe distance, masking and lots of sanitizer. And they checked my temp. Had a standard eye exam. No rushing. I've always tensed up over the glaucoma test and I was comfortable enough that it sailed by. I still have great eyesight and healthy eyes and wasn't pressured to buy prescription lenses. I already have my appointment booked for next year. Thank you to the good folks at EEC!

Love my doctor!!! Dr. Blankenship is hands down the BEST eye professional I've had the pleasure of…read morebeing under their care. She is thorough, professional, knowledgeable and has a wonderful demeanor. Since my relocation to the area, I've been seeking an eye care professional. I've been traveling more than 2 hours to my previous doctor because I was so happy with that physician. However, a few months ago, I was suffering with a serious eye irritation and pain which caused me to call their Pawleys Island office for assistance. The attendant who took my call, captured as much information as I could provide, then had me come in to be seen. When I arrived, I only needed to present my insurance card and sign 1 form because the Physician's Assistant I spoke with on the phone had already filled in the rest!! Because they shifted other appointments to see me, I only waited 5-10 minutes to be seen by Dr. Blankenship. During my visit, Dr. Blankenship did a thorough exam of my eyes, prescribed the necessary medicine and gave me sufficient eye moistening drops to avoid me having to buy it. I made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the entire visit. I just cannot say enough great things about Dr. Blankenship and the entire team. Needless to say, I have finally found my new eye care professional and have since had my first annual eye exam with Dr. Blankenship. If you are seeking an eye care professional in the Murrells Inlet or Pawleys Island area, stop searching and call this office. I guarantee you will be beyond satisfied!

I am really disappointed in Dr Meredith. I have seen him for a couple years, and my last glass…read moreprescription was not optimal. I went again last month, and my left eye vision was awful, just like last year. He just seemed to want to finish the exam and send me on my way. I protested, and he decided maybe cataract surgery was needed. I was referred, but there was a spot on my retina which has been diagnosed as fluid under the retina. I don't think I will see Dr. Meredith again.

After another 40 minutes of trying to adjust the lenses she was still seeing jagged and wrapped lines. Needless to say Mom left very upset and will be going elsewhere for exams and glasses.

The front desk staff is not hospitable or welcoming, and even though I've been a patient there for two years, I will not be returning.
