Woodhams Eye Clinic

My experience from start to finish at Woodham's Eye Clinic was amazing! I had the Prelix procedure, and I am so satisfied with my result. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional, informative, and friendly. I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience at Woodham's.

I've been having trouble trying to access my medical documents. I signed the release forms 7 days ago and when I called, the person said they would call me later today to accept my payment and send me the forms over email. Haven't received a call yet, and just wish someone would give me some kind of response, but I was hung up on several times. It stinks that I will have to go in person 2 hours away just to get my forms. I'm disappointed, but I do appreciate all you guys have done for me regarding my lasik procedure.

I had Mono Lasik surgery performed at Woodhams in the Spring of 2020 and I DO NOT recommend this surgery. 2 years later I am having to wear readers again. One of the side effects of the procedure is decreased depth perception and I can no longer play tennis at competitive levels. I discussed this with Dr Maurya at my last appointment and she presented my options: more surgery or glasses/contacts.

I had the surgery so I would not have to wear glasses. And I would much rather wear readers than glasses all the time. I cannot recommend Woodham's Eye Clinic. DO NOT DO MONO LASIK! 0 stars was not an option Update: After speaking with a representative from Woodham's and seeing their response to my negative review, it is clear that they do not care about the poor results I have experienced.

It has been 2 years since the procedure and their response was " Monovision is only a work-around that lasts at best 5 years or so." I had eye surgery at Woodhams and they stated in their reply "it is hardly appropriate to complain years later". I cannot see to play tennis but I should not complain? I do not recommend Monovision and I definitely don't recommend Woodham's.

I'm writing this 4 months after receiving my LASIK. I was nervous ahead of the procedure. I have naturally dry eyes abs I always heard that could impact the surgery. Dr. C, Dr. Woodham were careful and thorough in their evaluation and procedure. They also Have prescribed a new eye drops for my dry eye thag is doing more than restasis and xiidra. Their entire staff was friendly and communicative throughout the entire process. 100% would recommend this group for LASIK.

I've been a customer for years at Woodhams Eye Clinic. Saw Dr Chartash for annual eye exam. He spent less than a minute looking at my eyes, but 3-5 minutes trying to upsell (~$40) me on having my eyes dilated so he could see the optic nerve, "because it's part of a comprehensive eye exam". That's exactly why I came, for a comprehensive eye exam. It was clear, he was more interested in getting that extra $40 than providing me with a comprehensive eye exam.

Very disappointed. This should be included in the negotiated cost with insurance contracts (and I have great insurance through both VSP and BCBS). Someone has to call them out on this standardized way that they have of extracting an additional $40 from each patient per visit. After years of paying it, I'm done!

I could not be more happy with Dr. Woodhams and his team. They are awesome, professional, and so kind! Most of my life I have worn contact lenses and glasses (High myopia and astigmatism!). I had been told that I was not a candidate for LASIK because of my thin corneas and high prescription. And I thought maybe there were no other options for me other than contacts and glasses. Dr. Woodhams was able to evaluate me for Visian ICL (implanted collamer lenses).

Unlike LASIK, this surgery leaves your cornea fully intact and is a great option for people who are very nearsighted like me. The surgery was a breeze (only a headache), his team kept me very comfortable even though I was nervous. (Ruth, Stephanie, Gary, and Marcia are awesome and everyone else who was so great to me there!) They made me feel very cared for throughout the process.

I'm now seeing 20/20! It's amazing to be able to see so well. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. I did have a slight complication with one of my lenses and ended up having a lens replacement (for free). Dr. Woodhams took great care. He's an A+ surgeon with a really caring and kind disposition. If you think you're not a candidate for Lasik, I highly recommend ICL. Thank you! Y'all are angels who gave me the gift of sight!

I ordered glasses on 3/22 and called them on 4/7 to get an update. I asked the person if my glasses had arrived. She curtly responded, "if you haven't gotten a call, they're not here". I kind of expected, "let me check for you". For a customer who spent hundreds of dollars at this clinic, I don't feel very valued. Most probably my last visit there.

Would give them 5 stars but until their Website and Google list the different times they open, I will not. Office opens at 8am but to pick up your glasses it is 8:30am. I have to be at work at 8:30am so I came into the office at 8:10am to get my new glasses only to be told they don't open till 8:30am so I wasted my time getting there and now have to arrange at work to take time off to come get them. We are in busy season here at my work so leaving during work hours is difficult.

I am writing this review 18 months after my life changing Prelex implant procedure. While I could see better almost instantly, it took a YAG laser treatment for each eye and about 6-8 months for my eyes to really adjust. I can't remember when I could see as well as I do now. The staff was great.

This place broke my irreplaceable and quite expensive designer frames. Do not trust these folks with your frames or expect to get glasses in a reasonable time frame. To purchase almost two thousand dollars worth of goods and services and only get one pair of glasses, is unacceptable. I ordered two eyeglasses and paid to have the lenses in my current frames replaced.

I was assured there would be no issues and to put my trust in them. It took five weeks for me to have a grand total of one complete pair of glasses. The frames were cracked on the second eyeglasses handed to me and my designer Face a Face frames were broken by the lab. I was given an apology and told there was nothing they could do. I was reluctantly offered free frames from their very limited selection which is half the value of a pair of Face a Face frames. A truly aggravating and heartbreaking experience.

I had a great experience at Woodhams Eye Clinuc. I had Prelex lens replacement done on both eyes and I now have better than 20/20 vision from near to far. No more glasses! They are very professional and followed up every step of the way. After 40 years of progressive lens glasses it is a life changing experience. Thank you Dr. Woodhams!

I'm 18 with very high nearsightedness. I received ICL Surgery from here, and now I can see very clearly - possibly even more than when I had my glasses! Dr. woodhams is very knowledgeable and treats his patients with care. All the staff are very friendly, especially I think his name was Greg! They helped me all through the process, removed any anxiety I was feeling, and were candid about the whole process. 10/10 would recommend!

I started going to Woodham's Eye Clinic a few years ago in hopes of getting the Prelex surgery. The optometrist I had been seeing for years told me it was impossible to correct my nearsightedness and accommodate my up close vision at the same time. He wanted me to wear contacts AND readers at the same time. Dr Chartash was able to put me in multi focal lenses which worked great for a while. But, this year they said it was finally time for Prelex.

I just had my second eye correction and it's been life changing! For the first time since I was 18 I can wake up and see without putting in contacts or grabbing glasses. The procedure is completely painless, Dr Woodhams talks you through everything. Maybe a little stinging as the numbing drops wear off but they give you drops to take care of that, I needed that maybe twice for each eye.

There are 5 weeks of drops so be prepared for the after care, but this is the best thing I've ever done. Everyone at Woodhams makes you feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire experience. I would give 10 stars if I could!

I went for an annual checkup and it was my first visit to this practice The doctor who tested my eyes seemed to be in a huge hurry He was fast and apparently very sloppy He completely changed my Rx I had new glasses made and when I put them on was instantly dizzy I had ordered a couple pairs - cheap, thankfully The Rx was made correctly but the Rx was absolutely wrong Never setting foot in there again

DO NOT GO HERE! They did surgery on my eyes and screwed it up and could not care less. Then they sent me a letter saying they refuse to be the doctor anymore. Terrible place! Filing law suit.

I had a wonderful experience at Woodhams with my icl surgery. Dr. Woodhams is very knowledgeable and explains the entire process thoroughly so you know you're making the right decision. Ruth, the nurse who was with me during the entire process day of the surgery is an incredibly caring individual and really helped me stay calm through the day.

The surgical staff was also wonderful and I felt very comfortable entrusting my eyes to them. If you're not a candidate for LASIK, I could not recommend icl surgery enough and Woodhams is the place I would do it.

Love Dr. Maurya and staff. My daughter and I both had easy eye exams. Excellent service! We will be back.

Dr. Woodhams did ICL (implantable contact lens) surgery on me back in 2007, and I am still seeing 20/16. It was a great decision. For those of you who are close calls about being a candidate for Lasik, definitely consider ICL. To me, it was an easier decision since they don't laser off part of your eye. I haven't regretted it a bit!

I must say the staff at the clinic are extremely rude and unprofessional. They cancelled my wife's paid in full 9500 elective surgery because we filed a complaint against the eye center employee. Did not refund us any explanation and lied in the physician. I am involving the ga board of medical examiners and patient bill of rights as they had the berve ti call us the today the day before the procedure.

Some kid named Ashley and Nicolette in billing is who we filed a complaint against with the office manager. They had sufficient time to inform us and refund my credit card. I had to cancel many trips as we are world travelers

Unfortunately True Experience I visited the top 3 clinics in the area prior to choosing Woodhams, I selected them based on a sense of confidence they gave me on this procedure. Before surgery we did a 2 hour consultation which included testing to "make sure" I was a good candidate. Afterwards, I was told I "was a perfect candidate". Having heard over and over how this would "change your life" I was excited that I would fix my farsightedness.

They said I was in good hands, I paid out of pocket as I did not have insurance, I put it on my credit card as it was important for me. Unfortunately, the outcome was not as promised. I received no appreciable benefit from the surgery. After surgery they estimated 2 weeks for healing, I went back as requested for a follow up. At which time I expressed that I saw no difference, I was told to wait for improvements.

I did a couple of follow up visits, 4 months later, at which point I was told to expect no further change or improvement. It was kind of "that's it, we're done". That day was my absolute worst experience. They told me they were not willing to do anything else, and the most humiliating of it all, I was then told by the operating doctor himself that I should just go buy a $5 pair of generic glasses.

This is not an exaggeration or a joke, that is exactly what I was told, right in front of his own assistant, this is how I was treated after trusting them and spending $4,000. He told me this harshly, got up and walked away, with a bad attitude, he did not care, I felt treated like I was worthless, this was a shock for me to hear, I felt lied to, taken advantage of, and humiliated by this place. To this day no attempts have been made to work something out with me in attempt to correct this issue, I was simply tossed aside with no importance.

The girls that took care of us at Woodhams Eye Clinic were absolutely wonderful, Laura & Ruth and of course Dr. Trevor Woodhams and his surgery nurse, Stephanie! Thanks Ruth for giving us a lift to our hotel! We will continue to use Woodhams for the years to come!

Dr. Woodhams is fantastic! I had LASIK last week. I have no regrets! Dr. Woodhams made me feel completely at ease. I was extremely confident in his ability from the very beginning. The results are amazing. I am beyond elated. I have already recommended him to a friend. Gary is awesome! He was my first and last point of contact throughout the entire process.

He is extremely knowledgeable. He completed all of the preliminary testing and was present throughout the procedure. Dr. Woodhams is lucky to have Gary as his right hand man. The entire staff was great. I would not go anywhere else to have LASIK!

I just had my 2nd lens exchange (Prelex) today. I can't tell you how amazing the results on this surgery has been. After years of wearing contacts and glasses, I can see perfectly. Dr Woodhams and his staff are so wonderful. Everything from my initial visit through my 2nd surgery has been completely wonderful. I cannot even begin to express how perfect this experience has been. Thank you to all of you!

Had cataracts in both eyes. Went to Woodhams for the surgery. Since I had worn glasses since the 8th grade, I decided to pay the extra money and get the multifocal lenses. Had the surgery done in both eyes and was thrilled immediately afterward to not have to wear glasses. Soon my near vision began to get worse. During my last follow-up, I told the technician that I could not read anything on the card that they give you to test your near vision.

I was supposed to see another doctor, but Dr. Woodhams came into the room instead. He said that I would need to wear readers to see close-up. He asked to video tape me with his phone - asking me to explain that my near vision had become worse after the surgery. I agreed to the video taping. He said that he wanted to show this to the lens manufacturer because he couldn't seem to get their attention about this happening.

I am very unhappy. I have purchased readers and have them in every room of my house. I can't see my phone, chop an onion or read without putting on glasses. Had to get RX sunglasses to be able to see close-up in the car and in the sun. I sent Dr. Woodhams a letter (return receipt so they received it) and stated my disappointment. I didn't choose what lens to implant.

I certainly didn't expect to get faulty lenses. In the letter, I asked if it were possible to redo the surgery and if not, that I thought they should refund me at least the difference between the standard lens and the multifocal lens. I have received no response.

Here again but this time for my eye check up. They are doing construction at the front of this complex but it did not hinder my ability to park directly in front of the facility. Check in, as usual, was easy, fast and painless. I love that they have a big waiting area and they have wifi. Love it. And free coffee! The check up went well and the staff was friendly.

And Dr. Woodhams who did my surgery stopped in to say hello to me. This clinic does everything for your eyes and not just the lasik procedure. People need annual Eye and this clinic does this. You can even buy the glasses and lenses you need here. This clinic is 5 stars. No complaints at all. I will continue to be a regular here

I started at Woodham's more than a decade ago when my former eye care physician's office closed. I always felt like a number at Woodham's. Perhaps due to my previous experience, I should have expected what finally happened Friday 4/14/2017. I arrived 10 minutes late for a 1:00 PM appointment due to unusually heavy traffic on 285. The receptionist stated that I was late but she but would ask the doctor if she would see me.

She came back and stated that I would have to reschedule. I explained that I had taken a half day off work and had driven for 40 minutes and was only 10 minutes late. She explained that the doctor had an office meeting at 2:00 and the visit would take 50 minutes. I looked at the clock and it is was not even 1:15, so she would have been about 5 minutes late to the office meeting.

There were 3 people at the desk when I told her that I would be changing doctors. One of them gave me the paperwork to transfer my records and I completed and returned it to her. When I called back Monday, the person took the doctor information and told me it would take 12 days to transfer my records. I asked to speak to the office manager but she was not available.

I left a voice message for her to call me but she never even returned my call. I consistently had to wait 10 minute and more for my appointments at Woodham's and most doctors give you at least 15 minutes before requesting that you reschedule. Woodham's obvious practice to schedule a patient such that if they arrive even a little late they will not be seen is inconsiderate of the patient.

They never told me that if I did not arrive "exactly" at 1:00 PM, I would not be seen. Obviously, the staff also does not care enough about their patients to even return a telephone call.

Decent doctor but the wait was always over an hour in the waiting room. Once called, I also had to wait a long time in the exam room. Everytime I went the I had to wait a long long time. And the waiting room was packed with people who were also waiting for exceptionally long times. The crowded room, uncomfortable chairs and long delay made this an unpleasant experience. Doctor seemed professional and knowledgable once you finally saw him. The entire visit took over three hours.

I needed lens replacements 2 years ago. I went to two other eye professionals and then decided to have the Woodhams eye clinic take care of my problem. Everything went well. I was very satisfied with the results. About a year AFTER the lens replacements, I had a cloudy effect in my right eye. I went in and it was determined I had to have surgery on my eye to eliminate the problem. Dr. Woodhams took care of it and made sure everything was RIGHT.

It has been 5 weeks since surgery and my eye sight is better than 20-20. I am 69 years old and have the sight of a kid now. DO NOT let anyone but Woodhams take care of your eyes. They do a great job and I couldn't be happier. J. Todd
