I had first hand experience 13 years ago at CEC as a caregiver and then a patient. I was and still am impressed by the quality of care they offer especially with patients with diabetes...I find myself recommending it to others. Dr. Hal H. Crosswell, Jr. is so patient and kind to my foster sister due to her mental disability. His entire staff is excellent in their field. I just wanted to say thank you so much.
Minimal wait time. The Dr. was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. The best eye Dr. visit ever.
Dr. Cross and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Dr. Cross carefully explained various treatment options, and together we arrived at the best surgical option given my situation. In addition to my assessment of his abilities, his medical field peers speak highly of his skills and efficiency. He comes highly recommended.
My husband's experience with Columbia Eye Clinic has been wonderful. They are experts in their field. When you combine this expertise with a caring staff...it's impossible to compare them to anyone else. Thank you for everything you do Columbia Eye Clinic.
Columbia Eye Clinic is the best place to go if you have vision problems. Dr. William Cain, Jr. performed my Visian ICL surgery, and it was one the best experiences of my life. My eyes were considerably past the point for Lasik surgery, and Dr. Cain met with me over and over, collecting data and running tests, to find the best fit for the surgery. Boy, he was completely accurate! I've never been able to see this well in my life. No glasses or contacts since the surgery, almost 2 years ago.
Their drs are awesome.
When I met Dr. Stephen Cross it was hard to believe what this young doctor was telling me-- I was not going to need to wear glasses anymore. Keep in mind that I wore glasses all my life, and here I am at 71 years young with cataracts. Dr. Cross was the answer to my prayers. This young doctor was very professional and did my eye surgery with confidence. His surgery coordinator Mrs. Kelsey was also very professional and helpful. Overall, I am very impressed with the professionalism of Dr. Cross and his team. My quality of life has changed dramatically and I am very grateful!
Dr. Nunn is awesome! He has given me my eyesight back I will forever be grateful. He removed my cataracts in both eyes recently, I couldn't be happier. All the staff here has been wonderful!
Had a wonderful experience with surgery. The staff and Dr. Johnson took such good care of me and could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson. Thanks to him and the wonderful staff at the eye surgery center!
Dr. Newman diagnosed my husband's facial tremors as Meiges disease. He's now getting injections that enable him to keep his eyelids from blinking so rapidly. Its been like a miracle. Dr. Newman is the BEST!
Dr. Snoddy and her assistant did a great job making sure I was able to find contacts and readers to make sure my vision is where I want it to be. The receptionist and my check out person were friendly. See you next year.
Very professional staff and great doctors.
Dr. Wild did cataract surgery on one eye in August and the other eye in October. She is wonderful and I would recommend her highly to anyone. I can see and read without glasses! And most of my friends who have had this done was not nearly as successful - Dr. Wild is the greatest!, my sight is perfect! Thank you Dr. Wild!
Dr. Cain is highly skilled and professional. My particular eye issues were a tough case. He went above and beyond to restore my sight! Best Ever!
Best eye doctor I have ever had. She makes you feel like you matter, she listens, she explains everything very thoroughly and is very skillful at performing the required procedure.
I was very pleased with the cataract surgery performed by Dr. Cross. He patiently addressed all my concerns and questions. Surgery was successful and I had no issues. I highly recommend Dr. Cross.
