Dr. Patrick Laber is great he did both eyes for my cateract surgery and I am so pleased how it went. I would recommend him to anyone. He is not only a great surgeon but a very compassionate doctor who cares about his patients.
I rarely read others reviews before posting, but my experience was so different than the low ratings I saw, I couldnt help but double check to see if I chose the correct practice. I came to Raleigh Ophthalmology for my mom. The only minor complaint might be that they are scheduled out quite some time. I often take that as, its a popular, well sought out practice (kind of like a great restaurant you where cant get same week reservations). The building lobby and reception area were clean and easy to find where to go. The front desk staff were professional and very nice. I dont know if the staff has changed or if the other reviewers are just mean but, every single interaction I had was good. There was a Shooting Illustrated magazine in the lobby that I wasnt thrilled about but hey Im there to have the health of my moms eyes checked, move on. The initial screens with the technician went smooth. It seemed the technology and systems all worked well, no awkward waiting. The doctor was direct, told us what was next for treatment and we went on our way. We did schedule a couple follow up appointments for treatment and that did take a few minutes. That said, scheduling is a process! I know because I used to do this type of work. Personally Id rather get it scheduled right than get a call a few weeks from now that I was incorrectly scheduled (which happens at the doctor sometimes). The staffer apologized a few times and that made me sad thinking, I know the public can be impatient and unkind. The staff was awesome and I hope they are valued there.
