Prior to seeing her, I saw a different doctor who, for the lack of a better term, destroyed the eye. Since seeing her, I have had 3 additional Retinal Re-attachment surgeries as well as a Cataract removal and while I have no vision any longer in the eye, I am aware that she has done anything she could to remedy the situation. I believe that they could use another doctor or two at this facility considering how many patients they have daily, but do put my full trust in Dr. Zimmer-Galler.

They made me an appointment and I was running late so I called to change appointment and they said come in at 4:00.

A lady with a man bun and big glasses comes in and try's to tell me I was lucky to get the appointment. The Dr then tells me I should go somewhere else because he's uncomfortable with how angry I am. What a joke this place is.

His staff including Dr Patel were wearing their costumes - paying homage to "A League of Their Own" movie for Halloween. My appointment was at 9 am and I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. They are efficient and friendly. Dr. Patel always provided good service and he always listened to me or my concerns. This visit, they have added a new machine to evaluate my torn retina and of course Dr. Patel confirmed the results manually too. I like that a lot - not just rely on tech. Thank goodness, my retina is still stable. He continues to advise me to pay attention to new symptoms and to call him immediately. Check up completed and will see them again in October 2027. Thank you, Dr. Patel and staff.

I had a steroid response to the drops, a severe reaction. I asked the doctor and his staff repeatedly to check my eye for signs of glaucoma, being told multiple times I was healing well and fine.. I was told if the doctor thought I had glaucoma he would send me to a specialist for it... I took it upon myself to seek out a specialist myself. Sure enough I have glaucoma! I leaned that my eye pressure was elevated a year before my surgery, ( it was taken on every pre op appointment, and I was never told about the risks with a elevated eye pressure... or was it addressed. Dr Patel didn't listen to my concerns and rushes through examinations, he showed no concern for my pre op elevated eye pressures. I would recommend a more thorough RS who isn't in a hurry and is more focused on details and his patients concerns.

My husband and I were both patients of Dr. Hodges for a number of years. After my cataract surgery…read more(done by Dr Hodges) I had a great deal of vision loss. My husband was diagnosed with glaucoma but Dr. Hodges told him he was out of treatment options so his vision became severely degraded. Dr. Hodges seemed kind and personable but dismissed our concerns and told us there was nothing that could be done. Out of frustration about our continued vision loss, we set up an appointment with another ophthalmologist for a second opinion. She disagreed with Dr Hodges' assessment - she immediately changed eye meds, provided lots of options, and much more hope, for saving our vision. Already we are seeing better, but unfortunately, you can't turn back all the existing damage. We wasted much too much time and we lost way too much of our vision trusting Dr. Hodges.

I was amazed at the thoroughness of the checks that were done on my eyes compared to my former Ophthalmologist. Kenny Chen took the time to explain all that was checked and what the treatment would be if cataracts or glaucoma were found. They were able to get me an appointment really quick also. They ensure social distancing is maintained by having you text them when you arrive at their building, and they text back when you can come into the office, but the wait wasn't more than 5 minutes yesterday.

I was told because I wear glasses/contacts, the opthamologist does not see those patients and I'd have to only be seen by the optometrist. The scheduler was unbelievable rude and would not listen and was only focused on not making my appointment. She said the opthamologist wasn't available until December, then October; I went online and book the appointment for the following week - 3 months earlier than she stated. Then the emails and phone calls started, harrassing me to cancel my appointment that the opthamologist would not be seeing me. I called back and again she was rude - telling me I'm yelling (which I was not yelling, but she was talking over me). I asked to speak to the office manager and she didn't answer her phone (I made 7 attempts over 2 days), so again, poor service. Find some where, any where else to go. This is not a quality office.
