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

My daughter was refused care by Dr. Denny because she had Covid recently. According to health…read moredepartment guidelines she had been cleared, no symptoms, and over 14 days since she was diagnosed. She has a history of detached retina and was experiencing floaters. She was treated for a detached retina about 5 years ago. However, Dr. Denny advised that he reviewed her chart and due to her history and age he didn't think it was necessary for him to see her due to the "Covid risk" to other patients. He was sure that her floaters should go away after a few days..... The last time she had floaters for 1 day it was a detached retina, BUT ACCORDING TO HER CHART SHE WAS FINE. It is disappointing that Covid has made providers afraid to take care of people. I wonder how Dr. Denny would feel if this was his daughter? I pray he is right and she is fine! I would NOT go to this practice. The 1 star rating is for the pleasant receptionist.

I hope I won't need to have this done again but if I have anything eye related come up I will go back there for sure!

Why can't you review files for the next 6 months and call and ask for a referral or send a reminder to the parents prior to expiration ? After 6 years I'm not being silent anymore.

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.
