“Dr.Breadan and his entire staff were friendly, professional and informative. I am please to say that I would Refer anyone I know to seek them out at Virginia Eye Institute. They offer so much and I am looking forward to my next visit for further treatment. You all are terrific! Thank you”
“Excellent. Waiting room is clean and neat with offers of water and other beverages while you wait. Staff letting indicating they were at lunch and when they would return. Upon return, check in was easy. Dr. Bearden was very nice and professional. He recommended trying exercises before jumping straight to surgery which I liked.”
“I had an appointment on Friday, Aug 7th to discuss eye surgery with Dr Bearden. He and his staff were professional, efficient, courteous and very helpful. We discussed a couple of different options that would expand my field of vision and have decided on a course of action that Dr Bearden feels will give me the best overall results. After meeting with him, I then met with Tammy, the Practice & Surgical Coordinator, who reviewed options with my wife and I. She did an excellent job and I am currently waiting to hear back regarding insurance approval so we can schedule a surgery date. I look forward to hearing back from them soon.”
“Dr Langelier was extremely thorough in her consultation In explaining what needed to be done In order to get the results, I was trying to achieve ! I thought the healing process would be a lot harder than it was. I still have slight red bruising, and a little swelling! Dr Langelier and her staff From the front desk to the nurses, all were very helpful and professional ! I can’t say enough about how happy I am with choosing Virginia, Eye Institute, and doctor Langelier ! She is AMAZING !!!”
“Horrible experience. This review is not about the botched treatment but is purely focused on the Dr Bearden’s complete disregard for patient’s time. I waited almost an hour in the observation room for one appointment. After 45 minutes of sitting in the observation room at the next appointment, I poked my head out of and asked the staff what the holdup was. They said the doctor was involved with an important case in another room and would be with me as soon as he could. When I told them that I had literally been sitting there listening to the doctor talking through the paper thin walls about Alabama football, they sheepishly apologized and promised to do what they could to hurry him along. I purposely made my most recent appointment for 8:00am thinking that being the first appointment of the day would solve the issue. Boy was I wrong! I was brought back to the observation room a few minutes before 8:00. The technician came in and asked all the usual questions and was done by a few minutes after eight at the latest. I asked her if I was the first person and would I have to wait very long. She responded that the doctor would be in when he showed up to work. I was shocked but opted to be patient for a little bit. Finally, at 8:20 I walked out. Never to return again. Very nice and professional staff but they should not be the ones to continually have to apologize for Dr Bearden’s inability to show up on time and manage his appointment times.”
