The doctor is just fine (Dr. Burger). But I am leaving to find another practice for my eye care because of the manner in which the staff at the local office, the billing department and the area "Director of Operations" managed a complaint. For 4 months, I have been passed to another person or "team", told I would be contacted back (and often was not), and never gained any resolution. Amelia, the local Office Manager in West Ashley is the one bright spot. Once I got past the billing department, she was interested in listening to me, understanding the issue, gathering the appropriate documentation and summarizing it to the higher ups. However, once it went above Amelia, it hit a stone wall. The final communication with Carley Lewis, Director of Operations, led me to believe she still did not understand what happened and why I was requesting a refund. And she stopped responding, never acknowledging the error made. So, I am out several hundred dollars about 18 hours of my time communicating with various folks. Bottom line - maybe use them for the opthalmologists, and hope you never have reason to interact with the billing or administrative staff. Definitely get an optometrist to do your refractions and eyeglass/contact prescriptions. The staff at Carolina Eyecare are not well supervised or trained in this aspect of eye care, and the company is not willing to fix errors when they are made.

This was my first visit and everything went smoothly. Staff are professional and the space is clean. My exam was VERY detailed and the staff asked all the right questions. This was not a cursory exam, they were thorough. When the exam was over there was a complete review of the findings with me. I left knowing exactly what was needed and how to follow up on the advice given.
My experience with Dr. Berger was great. She is personal, friendly, very thorough, allowed time for questions & provided detailed instructions for follow-up care. The office staff & support nursing was both pleasant & helpful. However, I was very disappointed with the call-in process. I called 3 times - first time was close to their office close time - I was disconnected & could not reach someone when I called back; the other two times, I explained I was experiencing irritation & itchiness in my eyes & was promised a call back but never received one either time. This is a highly respected practice & the in-person experience very positive but my experience calling in was not. It needs to be improved!
Had an excellent visit with the Carolina Eyecare physicians care. I was having issues with.my eyes at times I would ne seeing black dots floating around in my eyes as well as some cloudnes in my vision. The entire office personnel was extremely friendly and professional. They conducted a complete examination of my eyes and told me my overall eyes look health, however I did have some cartract. So I'm looking at possibly surgery. Excellent visit highly recommend for all your eye needs.
I was seen at my appointment time. The tech was very friendly, knew what she was doing and was thorough. Dr. Rowe was great! Explained my issues very clearly and had the next step arranged immediately.
