I had cataract eye surgery 6 months ago and was strongly advised by Dr. Andre Cohen, my surgeon…read more(they cannot give any guarantee's) that the Light Adjustable plus lens was my best option for being glasses free. Well, $15,000 out of pocket and I am back to wearing glasses full time. Even worse is that prior to my surgery, I didn't need reading glasses. Now I can't even see the food on my plate when I eat! I have to wear prescription sunglasses during the day and regular glasses at night and when it's raining. The glare and halos at night make my driving scary and dangerous. I knew that with only 2 star reviews that I should have chosen another ophthalmologist but Dr. Cohen had a pretty strong sales pitch and I took the bait. Listen to the reviews and make your choice wisely. I had such high hopes of being glasses free for the firts time since i was 9 years old.

I saw Rachel Ressler OD at the Marietta location. I waited almost an hour past my appointment time…read moreto see her. She was very unprofessional and rude. She argued with me about anything that any other doctor has told me about my condition. She basically told me that I was on my own as far as seeking recommendations for a specialist for an eye condition that I have been diagnosed with through testing. She gave me very bad advice about further treatment for my eye condition. She had a "God" complex as far as her time and treatment of patients is concerned.

Doctor Eric Jennings at this location was highly recommended by a friend…read more When we had our first consultation with him, Doctor Jennings explained everything very thoroughly about Cataracs surgery and he answered all our questions. We saw a video and how the surgery will be performed. He explained about the healing process and how to apply eye drops and also about the restrictions after the operation. After the consultation we met with the insurance lady who explained about the insurance process and gave us some paperwork. Each person at this office was very pleasant and professional. We were very happy about this location because it's conveniently located close to our home. When it came time for the follow up visit, after the first eye operation, we were able to get an appointment for the next day after the surgery at this location with a different doctor. That was fine too. However, after the second eye surgery, our appointment at this location was cancelled. Reason was that there was no doctor available at this office. So, we had to drive far to another Woolfson office located at a very congested area in Atlanta. Again, the staff was nice. But we do not want to go back to that location because of the construction work going on nearby. The saga continues! We were able to schedule the next follow up appointment in Canton, GA. That was nice because we saw Doctor Paven Korotana who was at the Atlanta location. She was very nice and informative. Hopefully she will be at the Canton location for the next follow up visit. Overall, we are very pleased with the quality of care that my husband has received from Woolfson Eye Institute doctors and staff. The only complaint really is having to drive around Metro Atlanta area for different appointments,

Horrible!!! Run extremely late. Like almost 2 hours. Dr Patel is rude and was mean to another…read moreelderly patient. We will NOT be back. SEEK ANOTHER doctor and company.

I saw Dr. Leung on 6/24/2025 for an assessment on my left eye and this was the worst experience…read moreI've ever had with a doctor. Everyone I encountered was kind with the exception of her. I want to share my experience just in case you are considering GA Retina Specialists. During my appointment, she told me that she needed to perform a procedure on both of my eyes, which was very surprising to me. She was very cold when she said that I would have loss of vision if I didn't get it done immediately and didn't want to answer any questions. When she told me about the procedure, she made a comment that I needed to be back at noon and she was only staying that late because of me. I offered to come back the next day because she seemed upset that she had to stay and she abruptly said no and left the room. After being dilated 2x, I went home and came back again at noon. After waiting an hour, I was called back and dilated a 3rd time and then asked to sign 2 disclosures. I couldn't read the disclosures because both of my eyes had been fully dilated but I was told that I needed to sign. Upon signing, I was taken into another room to have the procedure done. While she was performing the procedure, she kept yelling at me and telling me not to move when I was being as still as I possibly could. After yelling at me, she would stop herself and then say, "I know this is hard, you're doing a great job." It was very odd and came across like she had this type of feedback before and remembered that she needed to try to be kind. After the procedure, she walked me to the front, said she needed to see me in a month and promptly disappeared. There were no post procedure instructions. I was just told to make an appointment and go home. I had no idea what to expect when I got home, nor what my eyes should feel like. I've never gotten a procedure without post procedure instructions. I shouldn't have to google what I should/should not do after a procedure. Although I didn't get kindness nor post procedure instructions from her, I did get a $1600 bill. If you are considering GA Retina Specialists, please be careful of which doctor you see. Based on their reviews, they seem to be great doctors, but I would not recommend her.

I've been going to Georgia Retina for 3 years, and I can confidently say I won't be returning…read more I have a rare eye defect, which means I require consistent evaluations and clear communication from my specialist. Unfortunately, that's not what I've received from Dr. Leung. Every visit feels rushed. She talks so fast, it's hard to fully grasp what she's saying--let alone ask the necessary questions about my condition. It's like she's in a race with herself. For three years, I've been given the same script with little to no effort in explaining changes (if any) in a patient-centered way. My most recent appointment sealed it for me--she rushed in, said a few words, and rushed right out. That's not how care should feel. I wouldn't recommend Georgia Retina based on my experience. Patients deserve more time, and clearer communication--especially when dealing with something as important as their vision.

I've been suffering with an eye problem for more than 4 months. I was referred to ECA by my…read moreoptometrist who had diagnosed me with Episcleritis. The front office staff was AMAZING!!! They were friendly, personable, and professional. After waiting for more than an hour to see Doctor Kuang, he on the other hand was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. He made zero eye contact upon entering the room, was short and showed no interest or concern. He even asked "what brings you here today"? My Sclera (white part of the eye) is completely red and swollen. He prescribed a medication which directly conflicts with my current medication which sharply increases my risk of severe stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage, and cardiovascular events. I called the office more than six times over 4 weeks to ask Dr. Kuang to call me to discuss my condition and his recommendation for treatment and he NEVER returned my calls. He also never returned the call of another ophthalmologist even after I gave the office staff permission to discuss my condition. It's generally a professional courtesy to return calls of patients and colleagues. I contacted the Corporate Office to discuss my concern and did not receive a follow-up call. If there was an option for less than one star this location would get it from me. Based upon my experiences, I would adamantly not recommend this facility.

E X P E R I E N C E I have extension vision history and…read morehave considered lasik for a long time. I wore Ortho-K (hard corrective contacts) when I was 6 years old until 12 years old. Then have been wearing soft contacts (I hate glasses- bouncing around my face making me motion sick, and the side view limitations/distortion) for loong time after that. My vision is -650/-675. I did extensive research on which doc and company to go with. I've had several close friends come to this location and have a wonderful experience. The pre-procedure doc (Indian lady) said that they treated a woman of -1200 (my mind literally doesn't understand what that means bc without glasses, I could barely read a foot in front of me and anything more than a foot, were shapes and colors to me). This place, is the bombdiggity.com (does that expose my age lol). ***Initial Consultation: You'll go in for a consultation. Do not be alarmed at the sheer number of people there. The turnover is quick! I went in at 8am, done by 930am. They even offered same day procedure (but due to personal obligations, it wasn't a viable option for me. So I opted to do it 3 weeks later). ***Day Of: Overview: Check in. Sign papers (they really CYA bc they make you sign multiple paragraphs and parts of the paragraphs multiple times to make sure you understand lmao). Pay. (GO PEE NOW). You'll meet Dr Smith for a last assessment. Then procedure. Then Head home! I arrived at 7:55am for my 8am scheduled time and I was done by 10am. *The Procedure: From the moment you are called in, to the moment you walk out, it's a 15 min situation. You'll put your stuff down. (feel free to throw your glasses out the metaphorical window). You'll put on a bonnet. The staff will have you lay down on the OR table (in between two machines). It's a little chilly in the room (we love that. Less bacterial growth) and there's cool funky classic music on (makes you conflicted because i wanna dance but not really because I was nervous for the procedure loll it was calming/uplifting). They put some guaze on either side of your eyes then they'll flood your eyes several times with the numbing drops (It's really soothing). The doc comes in, floods your eyes again. Slides you under machine to the right, puts these clamps under your eyelid to keep your eyelids open (doesn't hurt I promise; you just see him doing stuff but no pain). Then tells you to look at the green light, then he puts this plastic looking circular thing (I bet you love my very proper official names) and presses down on your eyeball (all you feel is pressure. Again, no pain. My vision went black and I could see spots of light). Then he slides you over to the machine on the left and that's where the magic happens. Theres no light or laser to look at; so just look somewhere in the middle. (I just saw a bright white screen with white lights in a circle. He counts down "5 seconds'.."3 seconds"..."Done!" which is so reassuring). Your first eye is done. (Literally it's done before you know it). Repeat second eye. Then you're told to sit up. (I thought I f-ed it up bc I didn't know where to look for the second machine, BUT when I sat up, it was so hazy BUT I could already see better than without my glasses T__T it was. Amazing.) Walk over to the third part (separate machine), where he floods your eyes with more numbing drops and uses forcep like tools to go fishing around on your eyeballs (again, doesn't hurt. It's just weird lmao I'm assuming he's laying the corneal flap down properly). You look at a green dot. As he's moving the (I'm assuming) flap around, this large fuzzy red circular shape appears. You hear clicking and smell something burning. A few seconds and it's done. Repeat second eye. I literally gushed at the doc and the two staff members and thanked them (I was still stunned from the procedure tho) and walked out. YOU'RE DONE. (I could read some text on my phone!) Get home safely! *Post procedure: When i got home, I took the HydroEye vitamins, taped the two clear eye covers to my face, and then napped. Stay in a dark room and listen to podcasts/make phone calls :) TIP: Make alarms for every hour. | I did EVEN hour for the Blue cap (Antibiotic/Steroid) drops and ODD hour for the Clear cap (Optase- hydrating dry eye) drops. this way your eyes are hydrated! My eyes hurt. It felt like I was wearing contacts that had dirty particles on the edges. It felt like I had sand pebbles on my eyeballs (these are dry spots!!). My eyes wouldn't stop tearing up. Keep flooding your eyes with the hydrating eyedrops! Normal! TIP: Cover your eyes at all times. | If you're not wearing the clear eye covers, make sure you're wearing the sunglasses (even when indoors!). Do not risk forgetting and then rubbing your eyes! OMG i have no more space to type but basically staff was amazing and kind, experience was perfect. ample parking. refer to my google review. I'm SO THANKFUL!

I've always thought my eyes (6.0 and 6.5 with astigmatism) could never be corrected with Lasik, but…read moreafter learning it's possible, I was determined to do it. The initial assessment was very nice, there were only a few people there (went to Dunwoody location), and the doctor that did the assessment was extremely knowledgeable and wonderful at explaining everything. I had to go to the Galleria location because they had the more specialized laser for my horrible prescription. I wasn't really nervous, but excited to finally have the procedure. I was a bit put off at first (not to the point I'd reconsider) by the sheer amount of people there for Lasik-- and ONE doctor. It's definitely a mill. They must make a fortune. Second, I was put off by the doctor. He looked really rough-- like a homicide detective or military captain. Like he's been beat up a lot and doesn't shy away from a good fist fight (LOL). He smiled a lot, to make me feel more comfortable, but he didn't really try to answer my questions and seemed annoyed (some of the things he said to expect were NOT what the doctor who did the assessment said-- he didn't have any interest in hearing it). All said, he did know how to use the laser and corrected my vision just fine. The surgeon is just one of many of the cogs in the wheel, there is no patient-doctor relationship, and they make it very impersonal and sterile to manage expectations (IMO).
