Mom has dementia, so long wait times are extremely difficult on her. It’s a huge challenge to keep her from not pitching fits and walking out. This last visit Dr Eddy allowed me to split our appointment into two visits. Testing one week and see doctor the next week. This is the first time we’ve tried this. Maybe the office wasn’t as busy too, but we got in/out in a little over an hour with just the testing part. If our visit next week goes as well, I’ll be estatic!

Have been a patient of Dr Eddie for about 8 years. Has been critical to me in weathering several eye events and maintaining good eyesight. I rate him a 5+.

Dr. Eddie is great, the process of going waiting room to waiting room not so much. Over 3 hrs is rough

The process for my first visit was lengthy but went smoothly, we were there for about 3 1/2 hours. The only complaint we had was it was TOO COLD. We’re going to wear heavier jackets and take a blanket. The outside temperature was mid 50’s - low 60’s.
