I'm a completely self admitted anxious medical person, especially given that I have a family history of melanoma and have been monitored closely over the years by my dermatologist. Plus, add in it's your eyelid which made me even more nervous. Thankfully I was in the best hands possible. Dr. Carey was so kind, calming, and wonderful throughout this whole process of getting this removed. His staff made everything seamless with scheduling, and answered any questions I had and were so kind when they could probably sense my panic at times about things. I'm almost 2 weeks out from him removing the mole and you can barely tell I had it taken off. I am eternally grateful for his care he has given me and feel so fortunate to have found him. Thank you Dr. Carey!

Dr. Tim Carey is, without a doubt, the best of the best. His expertise as an ophthalmologist is…read moreunquestionable--he's incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and thorough in every aspect of his care. But what truly sets Dr. Carey apart is his heart. He doesn't just treat patients--he genuinely cares for them. Every appointment feels like a conversation, not a transaction. He takes the time to explain things clearly, answer questions with patience, and make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported. You never feel rushed. You always feel valued. Dr. Carey is a rare and special kind of doctor, and I feel incredibly lucky to be in his care. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely with your vision and your well-being--look no further.

Front desk and scheduler for surgery could use some process improvement. Regular eye…read moreappointments and pre-op/post-op appointments are always running behind.

However, surgery in the Ballard office was amazing and efficient, and super kind.

I called back and got a second person who confirmed I would be seen by a different doctor than I originally booked with. No problem- needed the appointment and DrJackson is great. Got to my appointment early, checked in. Kept waiting well after scheduled start - ok I understand things go on in the field of medicin. Had to ask front desk multiple times about my appointmen. finally got called over 30 minutes past my appointment times. They have great Dra and services but they really need to coordinate better!

That said, I ended up paying nearly $4,000 for a bunch of stuff...lid cleansing, and 4 IPL treatments for Rosacea and ocular Rosacea. I had inquired from her staff about Excel V which I had read was the gold standard for ocular rosacea and they told me IPL was the way to go. Well, I only saw Dr. one time. The 4 IPL treatments were done by her staff. When I told them it didn't seem to be working about half way through I was told I needed patience so I went for the entire course per Docs recommendation. Not only did it not improve my skin at all, it actually made my eyes worse. Wish they would have laid out my options before rushing me into something that was really not intended for rosacea. Surely as knowledgable as this Dr is she would have known about the procedures such as Excel V and V Beam and could have explained them all so I could have made a choice. When I told the staff it didn't work they just said "ok". No follow up with me by the Dr or anyone else. This did leave me feeling like it was all about the Benjamins to them. Hope I'm wrong but here I sit....my eyes worse then ever, my skin still bad and my bank account much smaller. She came highly recommended and is probably great for dry eyes but I would not recommend her for ocular rosacea at all.

Seriously though, instead of getting an annoying blast of air in my peepers during my exam today, I just had to look at a pretty blue light that some how accomplishes the same job. Keep in mind that UWMC is a teaching hospital. This can be both a blessing and a curse. It is good, because the docs are more than willing to explain what is going on in detail. When I left, I felt better able to perform an ocular exam than someone who just stayed at a Holiday Inn. However, on the down side, if you have an unusual condition like I do, the docs will parade EVERY RESIDENT IN THE HOSPITAL past you to have a look. While I enjoy being the center of attention, it does add significantly to the appointment time.
