Dr Cantrell and his staff were great and I received good news during my visit. My only issue is that it took six months for my appointment which added to the stress of being told to see an ophthalmologist.

Uploaded all my insurance cards and ID. By the time I got to the office, it was easy breezy and the front desk staff was super nice. Burgandy did the advance tests and was also super nice! Dr. Feil did some more tests and explained what was happening in my eyes in simple, easy to understand terms. He is very thorough! Since I'm a Medicare insurance agent, I have spoken to hundreds of clients over the years about cataract surgery and how they felt pressured to pay extra for laser and upgraded lens. We had nice convo about cataract surgery where he freely shared his thoughts about the different options. Everyone made me feel very welcomed! I felt like I had been going there for years. Was there waiting time, in between tests? Yes. But nothing out of the ordinary. I don't mind at all and even relish the quiet moments. Overall, I woud totally recommend Dr. Feil!

Recently, he performed a very successful cataract surgery on my husband with excellent results. It was done at the medical center right next door. That staff is excellent. They have the registration process down to a science. They are polite, caring and have wonderful bedside manners. They truly care for you and make you as comfortable as possible. I recently had eyelid surgery from Dr. K in the same surgical center. He was amazing and the process couldn't have been easier. I was well tended by Jennifer, Krista and the others at the enter. Dr, Feil has a great crew of professionals.

I was sent because I'd lost vision in one eye suddenly. His first statement to me was that he was the garbage collector and saw all the patients that the optometrist couldn't handle. So right off I felt like I was interrupting his day with my garbage problem. He told me I had put my contact on inside out and that was why I couldn't see. I tried several times to explain that didn't happen and that even with readers I was only seeing through my right eye. Left eye had been dx as 20/50 from previous 20/20.

Three weeks later when I received my glasses, they didn't fit my vision and Serrins had to re-do. Another three weeks passed and when I tried my eyeglasses, they still didn't fit my vision, in fact, the lenses got worse! Another 3 weeks went by and I finally called Serrins about my eyeglasses, to which the staff said that it was delivered to the wrong lab and that they're going to send it back to the correct lab. Frustrated, I decided to retrieve my frame back and go somewhere else where they know what they're doing! Overall, there were 2.5 months without my glasses! Unacceptable! (Granted, Serrins have some friendly staff in the office, I would NOT recommend them based on my personal experience.)
