I assisted my ninety-three year old mother into AEA's macular degeneration department. I was…read moreappalled to observe that none of the technicians inserting the numbing drops into patients eyes had medical gloves on to protect the patients or themselves. I asked why. The young tech curtly replied, "We sanitize our hands before and after the procedure!" This same tech was using her keyboard, mouse and a pen!" Her long hair wasn't contained either! She gave the hand sanitizer one brief squirt, then grabbed the door handle before repeating the eye numbing procedure again on another patient! It was appalling! This should not be going on in 2025!

Showed up and was told that she "wasn't in this week" and that her assistants should have called to inform me. Arrived for my rescheduled appointment this morning (3 months later!) to be told AGAIN that Dr. Shannon Ardaiolo "wasn't in the office this week." Appears she needs better office assistants that will inform her patients of her frequent schedule changes to prevent clients from showing up to no avail. I will be changing to Carolina Ophthalmology where a friend recently had surgery and a wonderful experience with Dr. Robert Park. Steer clear of the repeated headaches involved with Asheville Eye Associates.

My wife and I have been patients at Carolina Ophthalmology for many years, and a few years ago we…read moreboth had cataract surgery, performed by Dr. Duggan. I cannot say enough good about the care that we have received at CO, and particularly the skill and care by Dr. Duggan. My disabled son is also a patient at CO, and everyone has been very accommodating of the difficulties in dealing with his condition. Many thanks to all!!

I went to the ER earlier today for an eye issue. The ER treated me and referred me to Carolina…read moreOphthalmology for follow-up. When I called the practice, the receptionist was indeed rude. Not only was she rude, but she seemed not to be familiar with the name of the condition I have. She had to check with a supervisor to find out. The diagnosis turned out to be a common one, so you would think that office staff would have heard the term before. And because I was not an established patient, they declined to make an appointment with me. I will look for care elsewhere! By the way, I just called another practice--and they got me in right away! I will post a review for that practice after I've had my appointment next week.

Dr. Christina Choe was exact and efficient!!! WOW. However, and I mean, HOWEVER, expect those old…read morestandards of excessive and brutally excruciating, 1-2 hour waits. Even requesting the first appointment of the day (8:30 a.m.) I discovered that Dr. Choe's nanny doesn't arrive at her home until 9 a.m. and she arrives at the office around 9:30 a.m. Additionally, the first appointment ended up being the 4th or 5th as other patients were seen before me in spite of me being there first thing in the morning. If anyone feels a bit claustrophobic, beware, as the times in those small, closed off rooms can about send one in orbit. Oh, and make sure that you specifically ask about any booked appointment. I arrived on time in my city to discover that it was booked in Asheville, without anyone informing me!

I have been seeing Vicki Whitaker, RN, nurse injector and state board certified aesthetician, at…read moreCarolina Skin and Laser since 2007. She has performed on me laser facial rejuvenation, BOTOX and Dysport treatments, facial fillers, hair removal, vein removal, and facial peels. In addition, she introduced me to the Obagi Skin Care System and Glo Minerals Makeup. Vicki's product knowledge is very impressive. She will guide you through the regimen best suited to you so that you can achieve healthy and youthful looking skin. Vicki stays current with new procedures and techniques and can provide solid expert recommendations based on your individual desires and needs. Before any procedure, Vicki thoroughly explains any pre-procedure preparation, the procedure itself in detail, typical responses to treatment, and aftercare. She ensures that you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure. After any procedure, she follows up with texts, emails, and/or phone calls to check on your progress until you both are satisfied with the results. I always look forward to my time spent with Vicki. She provides a very serene, relaxed setting that puts me completely at ease. She is a very warm and engaging individual with a great sense of humor. In my experience, no other aesthetician's/esthetic nurse's services can compare to the quality service provided by Vicki. I feel she goes above and beyond in working toward your complete comfort and satisfaction. She is the ultimate professional, and I highly recommend her. Sue S.

The appointment times run on schedule and are easy to schedule. The facilities are pleasant and well maintained. The examination equipment is up to date and the technicians do a good job with it.

He preforms surgery at a very modern facility located in Mills River. The same great service and attention is provided by the surgery center staff. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson and The Looking Glass Eye Center.
