So first let me set up the back story. A few months back I had a seizure while riding in a vehicle…read moreand because of the seat belt I ended up breaking my own back. Burst fracture of my T-12 vertebra. I now have rods and screws in my spine, which formed a cast to help support the break. My neurologist was very adamant that I take my seizure medication on time and that I get plenty of sleep. If i do not get sleep i run a high risk of a breakthrough seizure and potentially paralyzing myself! I have been unable to sleep more than a few spurts through out the night, for weeks now, because of the pain in my back. Now here's my experience with Dr. Holland and his TA. Day #1 I walk in and i Immediately hear a 70+ year old man in agony trying to get his prescription filled only to have the nurse tell him there is nothing that can be done. Already not a good start. I then wait for my turn and proceed to talk with Dr. Holland and explain what is going on and what has been done already. Dr. Holland then immediately starts to argue with me about my previous medical procedure. Stating "no you're actually fused" and treating me and my wife as if we are moron's. He did however come back and apologize for being wrong but only after having to argue with him multiple times! He then sends me home with a prescription that I attempted to take and my body just wasn't having any of it. I even took 1/8th of a pill to try to get some relief without throwing up. No luck. So I then make another appointment and go back take a urine sample with out anyone watching and proceed to put it in the bin along with 4 other samples all of which could be tampered with by anyone who uses the bathroom. They then proceed to prescribe me an anti-inflammatory, which did absolutely nothing for my pain. I go back and he then agrees to write me a prescription for what he says is "Oxycodone". i get to the pharmacy and find out it's the Percocet, which is what my Dr. originally put me on after my surgery and then changed it to standard Oxy HCL 5mg because it was causing me to be Numbed out and depressed for some reason. I explained this to Dr. Holland and he literally accused me of trying to get medication to sell on the street! This man is rude, jaded and an absolutely terrible Dr. How can any Dr. who took an oath to do no harm treat anyone like this?! Refusing to help a patient in need is a violation of their oath of office! I would not recommend anyone go to this cold heartless place!

Saw this doc for a number of years; treatments were spot-on, and he always treated me right.read more

She employs multiple different adjustment techniques, which means she can adapt her treatments to each individual's concerns and comfort level. For example, if your neck needs to be adjusted, she'll do the traditional neck cracking if you like it, but if not, she has other options for you. I also like that she adjusts from the bottom up, feet to neck, because it makes sense that our foundation must be solid for everything else to come into alignment. I'm really happy she's in Cville!

I'm not bashing my previous doctors, but Dr. Rakes is by far the best Allergy Partners doctor I've seen thus far and this is only my first visit. He was not only pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable, but within minutes (and asking all the right questions) he made me feel at ease about the future of my treatment. Fall is the worst season for me, and this is a new city, but the best part about this visit was the identification of a skin condition I've had since 2020 and giving it a name, one that left previous doctors unsure. I've been baffled by it and am grateful of the diagnosis and can look forward to taking better care of it now. I am yet to get my shots here, will update further when the time comes. But front office staff were super friendly and helpful.

I had already visited other MyEyeDr offices to shop and compare, as I was looking to get a backup pair of prescription sunglasses. I found most of the other offices far more customer-friendly than this one. With the exception of Avory, who was most impressive in her courtesy, professionalism and superb customer service skills, I found the front staff lacking in their approach to customer service. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to work with Avory. However, I continually observed her performance with other customers while I was working with Rashonda. Avory genuinely seemed happy to be working there and always verbally welcomed guests as they entered the office. Other staff appeared to have a perfunctory "just going through the motions" attitude about their work. I am rating this office three stars, rather than only two stars, because everyone seemed to be technically competent in their trade. Thus, if you care only about technical proficiency, then this office is fine. But if you're like me and you want not only technical competence from your eye doctor experience, but a friendly, engaging interaction where you feel welcomed and glad you came, then I don't think the Pantops (Jefferson Parkwy) office is your best option. If you are lucky to work with Avory, then you should walk away feeling very pleased with your experience. Otherwise, with the other front staff, I recommend looking elsewhere. I certainly plan to choose another MyEyeDr office after I pick up my current pair of sunglasses soon! Thank you, Avory, for setting a good role-modeling example for your colleagues. I hope they will heed your example of stellar, professional and friendly customer service!
