I had been thinking of LASIK for years but only recently decided to follow through. I had searched…read morethe local Raleigh area and found Porter Ophthalmology had the best and highest reviews. The lower star ratings I read seemed to be related to insurance related issues so I ruled those out. I initially tried to make an appointment online but never heard anything so I called a few days later. The receptionist was friendly and immediately sent me forms via email to complete prior to my consultation. My wife and I went to the consultation and met Dr Porter and his wonderful staff. After completing all the required tests and asking Dr Porter more questions than I probably should...we scheduled the pre-op appointment and my surgery. The pre-op lasted about 2 hours, which included dilation of my eyes. I drove home afterwards with little issue. Surgery day (yesterday). We showed up just prior to my 0910 appointment and we were sent to a small room just outside the inpatient surgery room (or whatever you want to call it). Friendly staff came in and spoke with us and put some numbing drops in my eyes. Shortly thereafter I was in the room and having the surgery. I will note now that I am 54 and wore progressive lenses so we went with monovision for my surgery. Meaning that my left eye is for reading and my right (dominant) eye is for distance. Seems weird, right? After the surgery, which lasted less than 10 minutes, we received some final instructions and we were on our way home. My vision was cloudy but I could make out pretty much everything. I rested for a few hours in a mostly dark room, putting drops in every hour as directed. After 4-5 hours the cloudiness was almost gone and I could see TV and read fairly well. My eyes were slightly itchy but the eye drops seemed to alleviate the issue. Later on in the evening my left eye began to ache slightly so I took Motrin and went to sleep. Woke up today and vision was even better than the day before. We went to my 0900 appointment and again met with Dr Porter. After a series of checks he stated my eyes were between 20/25 and 20/20, which I haven't had in about 11 years. I was worried about the blended vision but my brain is quickly adapting. Dr Porter said that my vision will continue to improve over the next 4-6 weeks. My only regret is that I waited so long to have this surgery.

He Sid there was nothing wrong with my golden flashes and stayed 5 minutes and left. I think he could've had a better bedside manner and spent time explaining why I was having flashes. The employees were all very nice but I felt like I was in an eye factory. I guess I'm spoiled because I receive such excellent care at Wake Med and my doctor spends a great deal of time with me.

Everything ran smoothly and every staff person with whom I interacted was personable and informative.

I HIGHLY recommend this practice and especially Dr. Thordsen. Para mis amigos latinos, el médico habla español!

As an RN, I know if this condition isn't treated in a timely manner, damage to the optic nerve and retinal cells can result, leading to permanent vision loss. The manner in which I was treated by an office employee over the telephone was so poor, I am seeking another physician to treat me. After telling me they were booked up for a long time, the woman I spoke to chided me for not having been to the practice for several years and for not having been to the optometrist for three years, reminded me I have "only seen the doctor one time in the past," repeatedly grilled me the about the symptoms of which I'd been very clear about, proceeded to tell me my symptoms are not associated with my suspected condition, and wanted my insurance information without scheduling an appointment. Her behavior was rude and intrusive, and she was attempting to practice medicine over the telephone without a license. I cannot feel comfortable and safe seeking medical treatment from a practice in which someone who behaves this way is involved in my care in any way.

The appointment person was pleasant, but the triage nurse refused to make an appointment because my Duke Urgent Care referral was insufficient to justify an appointment. She said I needed to see an eye doctor before I could see an eye doctor. Then she suggested if I really needed medical care I could drive from Raleigh to Winston-Salem to receive help. As a follow-up, they called today asking why I hadn't made an appointment. Then they bad-mouthed the provider at another office who did provide care. A class act all around. Love Duke Primary Care. Nothing but praise for Duke Primary Care and Duke Urgent Care. But Duke Eye Center of Raleigh can stick it.

She scrambled around and said they had forgotten me and the scheduling nurse had skipped me and she was sorry but I would be next. They took me in a room at 3:50 and I was there until 4:00 when Dr. Patel and her nurse came in. I told them of my upset that it had been 2 hours and that no one had prepared me for it. The first nurse even said 1 hour should be long enough for all appts. The Dr. explained that the ownership of Raleigh Opthamology mandates the Drs see 30 patients a day due to Medicare payouts and that prices have risen. UNACCEPTABLE!
