I don't know why this wonderful medical practice has received poor reviews from others. I've been coming here for decades on the advice of a friend. Currently I come at least once a year because I am required to have an annual Plaquenil exam by my Rheumatologist. I've never had long waits.
There are waiting rooms in the examination room section of the office specific to each doctor. You sometimes have relatively short waits for additional tests administered by a different technician. There is also a short wait for the dilation eye drops to take full effect.
But I can assure you that this is the "Cadillac Practice" for those needing specialized care. If you have an eye trauma they will find an immediate appointment for you, even if it's at another of their offices.
Dr. Newsom did both my eyelid & cataract surgeries. The cataract surgery was a miracle.
Needing astigmatism lens, he told me I would have to choose between far or near vision. The first eye was done with a distance lens. I was shocked when I stopped afterwards for brunch & could read the menu without glasses. I could actually see all distances. Having been extremely nearsighted, I've been wearing glasses or contact lens since I was a child.
At my recheck the morning after the first surgery I told Dr. Newsom about being able to see all distances. He asked if I had ever worn one far & one near contact lens, which I had. He responded that we wouldn't even have to do the other eye unless I wanted sharper vision. If that was my choice he would do the other eye with a near lens. That was my choice.
Being able to see all distances without glasses has changed my life. Driving, reading, piano music, television, computers....... It's all great with no glasses.
Every year at my Plaquenil appointment I offer to kiss his feet. Once I asked why everyone's cataract surgery wasn't done this way. His response was that your brain adjusts & not everyone's can.
My friend sees Dr. Pavilack, who she absolutely loves. He found a terrible problem created by a botched cataract surgery at a different practice. I'm here today to drive her home because of the difficulty in seeing with dilated eyes. She had to wait no longer than 5 -10 minutes.
The office is large, clean, nicely decorated & has plentiful parking at its Republic Road location, which runs between First Colonial & Laskin Roads.
If you want quality, caring eye care this is certainly the practice to choose. read more
