Anne Arundel Eye Center

Wonderful experience . For most doctor appointments the patient has to. wait past time but here start was right on time. Mike and Beth were very professional and helpful. Dr. Boles was thorough and also very helpful in his explanations which were written down on an information sheet given to me by Beth. Highly recommend Anne Arundel Eye Care.

Dr Boles performed cataract surgery on me. I could not be any more pleased with the results. Both eyes with a multi-focal lens. One eye is corrected with 20/20 distance vision and the other is 20/40 distance vision, but perfect for reading. Prior to this surgery I had something like 20/600 vision (-12 diopters).

As I've only seen an optometrist in the past, I wanted a recommendation for a more comprehensive exam with an ophthalmologist. On October 5, from Greece, I phoned AAEC to make an appointment with Dr. Bowles after noticing an abrupt increase in floaters in my right eye, first presenting on September 23. I was told the first available appointment with Dr. Bowles was Nov 7. Dr. Bowles was dismissive when I asked questions and reprimanded me that I didn't come "immediately" with floater change as "John wrote down that I had them for three months". John was wrong, regardless of what "he wrote down" ... My call to AAEC was made within 12 days of onset and after scouring my peers for a recommendation, AND I was out of the country. The portal is extremely user-unfriendly -- can't send a message because the required "provider" drop down menu does not offer any providers, only "-select-", rendering it useless. Even the link saying "provide feedback on our portal" is "unavailable" when clicked. When I read my provider notes to my husband (who was there with me at the appointment) his comment was, "This must be for a different patient". There was no discussion of the things in the notes and no diagnoses given or explained. According to Dr. Bowles in the exam room, "Your eyes are in great health". How does one send an email to the practice? I have been a professional airline pilot my entire adult life and the dismissive attitude and thinly veiled professionalism is inexcusable. These notes that are now in my file were not discussed with me and if they are for another patient, they need to be corrected and removed.

I am beyond appreciative to Dr. Boles and his staff. My eye issues , when I walked into his lovely office, were almost intolerable. I had been misdiagnosed by another practice for over a year. I finally achieved positive results in reference to my eye health. The office is not just run efficiently ( they answer the phone when you call!) , everyone is so friendly. The nurse practitioner , Beth, was absolutely the best! I’m actually looking forward to my next visit! Don’t hesitate to join his practice. Warmly, Joani

I’ve been extremely impressed with the way AAEC has handled all of visual needs. They are delightful to deal with very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Dr Boles and his entire staff are very friendly and so easy to talk to. I never feel rushed when Dr Boles speaks to me during my visits. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Dr Boles and his staff. Thank you for your support.
