My experience at Charles Retina Institute was most excellent. Everyone from the front desk to the check out was pleasant. Dr. Charles took the time to explain my situation and the plan for future care. I have been coming here for years, first bringing my mother, and now my brother and my own care. Dr. Charles and his team are caring, knowledgeable and the very best of the best.

Never cease to amaze me.From the time I walked into the clinic you could tell they were there to provide for you the care you needed. Not knowing his last name Miguel was amazing. He kept me distracted from the pain. He was definitely there to help take care of me. Thank you Miguel! Dr Huddleston did an amazing job as well with his knowledge. Thank you so much. You all can take a day that is least favorite of mine and make me feel comfortable and take care of me and make it positive.

Dr. Rafieetary is exceptional at what he does. Even in the NICU, he takes the time to explain every detail clearly and with compassion, which brings so much reassurance.

I was really nervous and unsure about the procedure my eye doctor had recommended. But after meeting with Dr. Charles and understanding his explanation, I was relieved and am now awaiting my procedure with grateful anticipation. Dr. Charles was able to explain what what going on with my eyesight and he was able to assure me there was a method to improve it. He's very confident in what he does and has done it for many years, leading the way to incredible discoveries and techniques in this procedure. I highly recommend this doctor and facility!

The medical care my wife received was top notch all Techs were professional and the Doctor bed side manner is very important, he tell it so we understand the problem and steps need to be taken. Someone needs to keep the restrooms keep clean due to the high volume of Patience in their caretakers.

Service was on point. Didn't have to sit a long time even though I was within my grace period. And all the people that I saw when I arrived a lot of them were gone. Friendly staff!

The waiting time is a lot better. It is not totally wheelchair accessible, specifically the exam rooms, and the waiting room. The entrance doors are quite heavy to open and keep open while trying to get in and out. Dr. Haynes and the staff are very nice and helpful.
