Vanderbilt Eye Institute

I had an appointment on March 5th with Dr.Finn. My app. started at 11;00 and I was to see Dr. Finn at 11:15. The first part of the exam went as scheduled and then I sat in the waiting room for almost one hour. I finally asked one of the nurses if she could check and see how much longer it would be and she said she would get me back in the next available room. After about 10 minutes I was called back into an exam room. My Husband was with me and when we entered the room it smelled very strongly of alcohol. I am a cancer patient and strong smells really bother me. We opened the door to let some air in when we did this DR Finn walked by and told us we had to close the door when we explained the situation she told us we could go back into the waiting room. I told her I had already been waiting an hour and she said, OH, one hour is pretty standard that she was very busy and had a lot of patients and she would get back to me when she could and she walked away. My Husband and I just looked at each other and walked out the door. I have been a Vanderbilt patient a long time and I have never been treated so condescendingly . I might go back to the eye institute, but I certainly will not see Dr.Finn, nor would I recommend her…

Dr. Christine Sheih is the best eye specialist I have ever seen or heard of! Phenomenal best side manner, thorough, leaves time for questions, excellent staff. She made my eyes open my world to good vision for the 1st time in my life! 10 easily out 10 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟

Dr. Donahue performed Bilateral Strabismus surgery on my 7 yr old. Dr. Donahue is more than a rock star! He explained the surgery to my child at his level and of course my son was nervous about surgery but so excited to have his vision corrected. My child's results were perfection! I listened to Dr. Donahue and trusted his guidance and my son is enjoying a whole new world! Dr. Donahue is a blessing and I hope he will help inspire many students to become Pediatric Eye Surgeons! What a cool and amazing way to spend your life, ensuring the best quality of life through better vision ❤️ We love you and thank you Dr. Donahue! 😎 May God bless you always.

Quality of care has drastically changed. No longer can you get a timely appointment to be seen. Take your business elsewhere.

My whole experience with VEI was wonderful! After 2 other eye places would not do cataract surgery in their clinics because of my BMI and then took their time scheduling me in a hospital, Vandy did it! Dr. Sheih took the time to listen to me and explained everything to me. Her aftercare instructions are very detailed and explains what different things I experience might be. I do not agree with the negative reviews of Dr. Shieh. She was very compassionate and I have complete confidence in her abilities. Dr Fitz who did my surgery was also excellent!
