I saw Dr. Pecko at Darling Eye Center. She was very thorough and took time to answer my questions. I left there feeling confident that my "special eyes" were in good hands. I plan to return.
Yesterday my daughter had her first eye appointment so I was a little worried because her dad took her and not me, but everyone from start to finish made it such an easy experience. Both Olivia and her dad came home raving about there appointment. It's always appreciated when the staff takes extra time to make a kid feel at ease with them and Olivia had so many good things to say about her visit, I almost couldn't believe this was a doctors appointment. Thank you so much for making this a great experience for my little one!
I recently decided to change ophthalmologists and, upon the recommendation of a friend, I made an appointment with Dr. Darling. I am very pleased with the visit I had. Her bedside manner is fantastic. She is personable, kind and funny, which caused me to feel comfortable right away. She listened to my concerns, which were passed over with my previous ophthalmologist, and it turns out that my gut feeling about what was going on was right. Instead of rushing me out of her office, she heard what I was saying and took the time to run extra tests. Not only did she take the time needed to properly examine my eyes, she took the time to show me the scans and explain the results to me. I left my appointment feeling better educated- knowledge is power! I am encouraged by her thoughtfulness in formulating a plan of treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Darling and her staff and am grateful for the excellent care I am receiving.
I had my first visit to Darling today, and was very happy with the service I received! When it came time to choose my eyeglasses. Laura was so helpful! She explained why certain glasses look better on me than others and provided plenty of choices! I appreciated her knowledge and patience with me!
We have been using Darling Eye Center since moving to Bluffton 7 years ago and are very pleased. They are very friendly, helpful and carry a large selection of frames for men and women plus many different options on lenses of all price points. We recently completed this year’s exams and Laura has been great to work with in meeting our needs for new glasses.
