I love ❤️ this place far more better than Callahan, because it’s easier to get to and you don’t have to go in and out of that ole parking 🅿️ lot which is called a parking 🅿️ deck in downtown Birmingham. I love ❤️ the people who work there, they give you a great experience and they really do care about you. I’ve been going to Dr. Rosenstill ever since I was a kid and I love her she’s such a sweet person and a very good eye dr. So I’m giving this place a five star rating! ❤️🫶

Dr. Doss is amazing! Im so happy we made the switch to her. She took her time to answer my questions and came up with a plan that was best for my son. She is very knowledgeable and ALL the staff are accommodating and friendly. 10/10

Dr. Carol Rosensteil is fantastic!! I've been seeing her for a number of years & will continue to see her. She's very thorough, answers all of your questions & keeps you informed of her findings as well as why she is doing any other testing.

Since they moved to their new location the office staff is not helpful at all. I saw provider in March at the Callahan location. They relocated to Homewood and their hours are much earlier so I can’t make it there and asked if they would mail my prescription. I couldn’t order through them because since their move my contacts were going to cost double to order through them with insurance. It’s been 2 weeks I’m still waiting on the prescription and I’m out if the trail contacts. I never reach anyone when I cal always a voicemail and it takes days before they call back. Definitely locked the provider, but no longer going back.

Dr. Doss is fantastic. Quick, explains what she is doing, answers questions readily and has a kind, open personality. The office staff front and back, are efficient and friendly, also explain what they are doing and why.
