Dr O'Day has literally done tens of thousands of these procedures and I couldn't have felt in more capable hands. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Dr. O'Day should retire or just limit his practice to Lasik & forget the Cataract Surgery which is…read moremore invasive. I had cataract surgery done. First red flag was his tech got my test results wrong & the Dr. discussed the mistake in front of me. He caused an abrasion on my left eye with the equipment on my first procedure. I didn't want to go back but I did. The other eye has been nothing but problems with cloudiness, insane floaters which can be a sign of corneal debris remaining in the eye, a constant muscle twitch after 3 months & it feels like I'm wearing a contact-as though the lens isn't implanted properly. He also highly recommended tear duct cauterization for dry eyes. I evidently didn't need it because now I have excessive tearing and overflow because my eyes can't drain. This has caused eye swelling and bags. The procedure is not reversible. I learned that most drs. have patients try the removable plugs first to see if there is overflowing. Dr. O'Day interprets a patients questions & concerns as criticism-he gets very defensive & doesn't explain anything.  I told him I had tried the monovision with contacts & I didn't like it but he said with lens implants it was different. It's NOT any different! Everyone I know who was talked into this "monovision" hates it.  I have constant eye strain & headaches from having one eye 20/30 & one eye 20/20.  I'll probably just wear a contact to correct the one eye. Do yourself a favor & find yourself another Dr. A retired surgeon just recommended George Waring, Paul Herring & Solomon.  I have an appt. with one of them to get checked out.

I was very happy to have found Draisin for my son's glasses. The whole process from making the…read moreappointment to picking up the glasses was smooth and stress-free. The receptionist was very pleasant and friendly and it was easy to get an appointment within a reasonable timeframe. The office is very clean and pleasant. The best thing was the selection of glasses available. They even said that they can order a frame if they carry already carry the brand if you happen to have some thing specific and they don't have it in stock. The people that assisted with picking out the glasses and ordering them was very knowledgeable about what looks good and had great suggestions. We will get our prescriptions and glasses here from now on.

As former patients of the Wilmer Eye Clinic at Johns Hopkins, we expected the same level of…read moreproficiency, compassion and knowledge in an ophthalmologist when we relocated to Mount Pleasant, 10 years ago. Dr. Linda Poole Perry checked all boxes. Unfortunately, she only works one Monday a month at MUSC Health -East Cooper so scheduling an appointment often means a trip downtown or to West Ashley. The staff is professional and skilled. Unfortunately, appointments often run at least 1 1/2 hours behind. Don't let that deter you ... this practice is worth the wait.

I was recently referred to Dr Holdgate. I saw him 3 times. On my first visit he did have extensive…read moreblood work done. I appreciate that. But from that point forward it was nothing but being dismissed and not taken seriously. I have already been diagnosed with autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's, carpal tunnel syndrome, mixed connective tissue, undifferentiated, fibromyalgia and experiencing overlap symptoms of a few other autoimmune conditions. I have been on Plaquenil for a couple years now. It helped with the swelling and pain in my hand joints. I have several rashes on my skin with intense itching, also livedo reticularis for at least 3 yrs and never investigate for its source in my vascular system. including break out in hives several times, extremely severe dry eyes, mouth, now throat and nose, too, with more trouble swallowing things like crackers or bread without water to help me swallow it. Sometimes it feels like food is stuck in the back of my throat and I can barely get it down without huge swallows of water and felt like I was going to choke. I have had thousands of dollars of dental work/surgeries done related to the dry mouth and in need of more which I cannot afford. I have trouble swallowing, numbness in both feet for a few years now, weakness in hands and legs, intense sensitivity to heat with hyperhidrosis of the face and scalp, receiving botox injections twice a year in my scalp for that, and I could go on and on. I currently have no idea of what all damage is going on in major organ systems in my body, which I know are progressing and receiving no treatment for it. I have done my homework on all of this and no that there could be serious damage happening that will not be able to reverse or treat.. This all has been going on for 5 yrs and getting worse. I have had several biopsies of my skin for different conditions related to autoimmune and just in the past 2 weeks diagnosed with small nerve fiber neuropathy, which is another autoimmune disease. I am very certain that I also have Sjogren's. Saw him again the other day and he says there are "no more tests to run on me and that I do not have autoimmune disease!!" I was furious of the degree of dismissal by him. I am now diagnosed with ptosis of my eyes and having increased pressure, ocular hypertension in my eyes with blurry vision and was seen by my eye doctor that same afternoon with an extensive eye exam. The opthalmologist now is referring to a neuro-opthalmologist because of his findings. After all of this I stopped by my PCP office to let him know what was going on and my BP was 154/103 a reading I have never had that high before and I know it was due to being so upset from visit with Holdgate. Then Dr Holdgate wrote notes to my other doctors and told them that I did not comply with 2 other tests suggested. In fact, it was my PCP who ordered a PET scan which was done and also to see an Orthapedist, which I did and he injected the bursa in my left hip. Dr Holdgate falsely reported that I didn't follow through on these orders and it was a total LIE. My PCP knows this, he ordered them and got the reports. I will never go back to Dr Holdgate again and I wrote to him about the false reports he put in my chart and shared with other doctors. I DEMANAD that he correct those records and admit he didn't tell the truth about me and was attempting to sway other doctors about my credibility as a patient. I truly resent that. I won't hold my breath for an apology or even a correction. I will never go see this man again. For whatever reason he had a wrong impression and attitude towards me and it showed. There is no reason for this. I would like to see one of the other doctors in this practice as they have several rheumatologists there, but I doubt seriously I would be able to since the encounter with him. He mockingly asked if I wanted a referral to Jacksonville, FL, where there is a Mayo clinic, and I said no. I just can't6 believe all this actually happened and what for? Doesn't make any sense.

I was referred here by my dermatologist as a new patient to deal with some chronic pain issues I've…read morebeen having. It's always nerve wracking going to a new doctors office and wondering how the staff will be, if I'll be comfortable, will they really understand my issues, and so on. From the minute I walked in I was greeted with a smile. The office is warm and welcoming, and the check-in process (especially for a new patient) was easy. I met with Dr. Edgerton and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things. He listened to all of my concerns, asked follow up questions, and truly made me feel like he was getting the full scope of my issues in order to make the best diagnosis and treatment plan. I watched as he took ultrasounds on my elbow, he explained everything along the way in terms that I could understand, and made me feel so at ease about what I was dealing with and what the future would look like. I truly cannot recommend them enough and know I'll be in great hands as I walk through this journey!

He does a very thorough eye exam, I've never had to wait long, both Dr Schall and every staff member I've interacted with have always been a pleasure to deal with, and I never leave there with sticker shock (which I guess is a credit to my insurance). I had my yearly exam today at 8:30 this morning and was rolling into work, which is admittedly down the road, before 9:15am. This included getting my eyes dilated! I'm glad my eye health is in such good hands.

The waiting room has a few chairs. There are minimal decorations. I noticed magazines and pamphlets are no longer available, which I'm assuming is a COVID precaution. Dr. Perry was great.

If you're looking for a dermatologist in Charleston, I would definitely recommend this place!

I have seen Dr. Bruce Gwinnup occasionally over the last ten years. I cannot offer enough…read moresuperlatives regarding him and his practice. First of all, after being referred by my daughter's colleague, I took my son, who'd been suffering for a year with a terrible itching all over his body, for which dermatologists could not find a cure. Amazingly, in the matter of 2 sessions, Dr. Gwinnup cured my son of the itching! I as well have received treatment from the good doctor over the years for first what was residual neck pain from an accident, and over the years, here and there, other back-related issues. Not only does the doctor do chiropractic adjustments, but peppers the session with a flow of information about the ways the body works, suggestions for exercises and postures, and overall recommendations for how to go forward with a positive attitude and awareness. He is a true embodiment of what the word 'holistic' means. I have learned so much from him and always leave feeling replenished.
