Hi, I want to provide the highest possible rating for Dr. Farr at the Retina Institute of the Carolinas. Unfortunately I have had to see Dr. Farr way too many times because of my stubborn retinas (retini?). Dr. Farr has performed 3 retina detachment procedures on my eyes, including an initial attempt to help the left eye self-heal by inserting a gas-filled needle into the eye. Dr. Farr has always been very helpful answering all of my questions (there were a lot in the beginning); he was and is so patient. His demeanor is always upbeat and positive, even when he had to deliver bad news that the gas bubble wasn't effective and I would require surgery to reattach the retina. All of the staff members at the Charlotte office (Randolph Road) have been amazing to work with and so patient. Dr. Farr is a busy guy, I'm sure he must be the best Retina Doctor on the East Coast. I don't know how they determine those things but I can't recommend Dr. Farr enough. I had another 2 year check-up yesterday and was happy to hear that everything is holding fine in both eyes. Sorry this is so long, but there's a lot to say. Yesterday was the first time my retina's were photographed with this new camera they have. Before, when i looked at images I can't say that I could see anything really that looked like a detachment - yesterday he showd me my images, which were clear except for the laser scars from the previous reattachments. I asked what an actual detachment would look like with this new camera and he showed me one, and it was obvious where the detachment was - so clear and obvious. This new camera or imaging machine is a great addition to the practice. Finally - If you need Retina work done, Dr. Farr at the Retina Institute of the Carolinas should be your first AND ONLY call. Thanks Dr. Farr for all of your help, patience and obviously great work. My retina (retini?) thank you!!!!!
