- Response from the ownerHi, Sonny. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you so much for the review!
Every single person I meet along the way was kind, competent in their piece of the process, and wanted me to have a positive experience. What a feeling of teamwork!
Response from the ownerThank you for the great review, Nancy. We are thrilled you felt the positive vibe and competency at EMG!Every time my mother goes there she always have to wait a long time to see dr winn. The reason is always the same she had a emergency. I guess at least Every 6 months there is a emergency and just happens the day mom is there. Plan on spending at least 2 hours.
Response from the ownerWanda- we do apologize for your experience. Our surgeons do see emergency patients when necessary, Dr. Nguyen is a retina specialist, and tends to see more emergent patients. Having said that, we do encourage you to ask when checking in if the doctor is running behind, or a staff member if you do feel the wait time is long.- Response from the ownerHi, Marc. We must have done something right to get such a good rating from you. We really appreciate you taking the time!
All staff have been friendly and supportive. I have had eye injections periodically for almost 2 years. Dr. Parnes is wonderful. He is patient, knowledgeable and skilled. He will answer questions and discuss them. I was horrified at first, when the injections were recommended. He is quick, accurate, and gentle, making the experience as tolerable as possible. and...my condition has improved. There has not been a lot of wait time, either. I am usually there for about an hour total.
Response from the ownerHi, Terri. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!I was there last Tuesday, Dr lippincott did a complete exam, he was professional and amazing to talk to, reassured me there was nothing to worry about, and that I didn't need to see him again.
Response from the ownerHi, Robert. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!The medical practice and doctors are truly amazing. That being said, waiting over an hour to be called back for an appointment with no update or communication, unacceptable.
Response from the ownerWendy- our apologies for the wait time. As we are a specialized medical practice, complex and emergency care can result in some wait time. Patients are encouraged to let staff know if they have been waiting longer than anticipated so they can get a better understanding of the reason for wait time. We strive to serve our patients with stellar care in a timely fashion.Dr. Daly performed cataract surgery a few years ago then most recently laser surgery on both eyes. Dr. Daly and his staff were wonderful.
Response from the ownerHi, Karen. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!Excellent doctors and service.
Response from the ownerHi, Angela. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
