Dr. Ravi Goel is very pleasant. I found his practice on Yelp and I wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect because I don't think it's a great idea to find a doctor online. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My appointment at Regional Eye Associates went well. Dr. Goel has excellent bedside manner, he's very patient and explains everything to you in a professional, yet kind way. He was extremely thorough and answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed at all. His staff were also courteous and friendly. I had a positive experience and I'll definitely continue to see Dr. Goel.

I went here today for an eye exam and to find a new pair of glasses. The two women who work up…read morefront are extremely friendly, polite, and most importantly helpful. I am picky when it comes to my glasses, and I was happy that they provided honest opinions on how the frames looked on me. The office itself is very nice; it's clean, modern and has a good selection of frames. Dr. Staab was great. My eye exam was quick and thorough; the doctor explained everything and even showed me pictures of my eye on a monitor (something an Optometrician has never done for me before). They scheduled my appointment same day, had no wait, and overall provided an outstanding experience. I'm looking forward to going back next week to decide on my new frames, again, it's great to know I will get unbiased honest advice on the fit and style.

I first met Dr. Ringel when I was inquiring about Laser surgery. Although another place said I was…read morea good candidate for it, Dr. Ringel disagreed because I was suffering from dry-eye and laser (and now Lasik) would make my condition worse. Dr. Ringel has been treating me for dry-eye and found a solution that will work with my eyes. My eyes no longer itch, look red, or have pain from constant rubbing. When I was seeing flashes of light in both eyes, Dr. Ringel saw me often and referred me to a specialist for more evaluation and to concur with his diagnosis. He also caught the beginning stages of cataracts which he will treat when it becomes necessary. Dr. Ringel and his wonderful staff put patients first. They are friendly and courteous. They take the time to answer my questions, often repeatedly, without being annoyed. The Optician, Lou Giorgi, is in the same office, so my prescription is sent electronically and I don't have to travel to get glasses or contacts. Never had a problem with my glasses purchased here, and cleaning and small repairs are free. It's a personable but professional office. I had a skin tag under my eye and one on my eyelid that bothered me, but my dermatologist wouldn't remove them. A surgeon in Dr. Ringel's office, Dr. Johnson, removed them. I highly recommend Dr. Ringel, his colleagues, and staff.

He removed them and suggested upgraded lenses. I didn't realize how much I wasn't seeing. I now see so clearly! It's amazing! He gave me back my confidence and my anxiety levels have dropped.

Thank you, Doc, from the bottom of my heart. Brenda Marris.

I had PRK (similar to LASIK) done in March 2011 with Dr. Dugan. I'm glad I checked around and found…read morehim. He (and the offices of two other Wills affiliated doctors that I checked) recommends PRK over LASIK and he doesn't even perform LASIK anymore. From what I've deduced, LASIK is marketed more because patients get in and out quickly, so these "LASIK mills" can do dozens of operations a day. If you actually talk to a place like Kremer, they do offer PRK if LASIK isn't right for a patient. I'm not a medical professional, but in summary PRK and LASIK use similar techniques. The main difference is that LASIK requires cutting a flap on your cornea, and that flap is what can cause problems later on. PRK does take longer to heal, but not that long, maybe a week, and requires some extra visits, I think it was one the day after, one the week after, and one the month after. These are your eyes, so don't choose a technique or Dr. because it gets you in and out quicker. Anyway, do your own research. What gives Dr. Dugan a lot of credibility is that he is also Co-Director of the refractive surgery department at Wills. He also does other types of eye surgery, so he's well-rounded. And Wills is one of the top eye hospitals in the US. There are probably only a handful of laser eye surgeons in the Philly area who have better credentials than that. If you're wondering about price, PRK with Dr. Dugan was actually cheaper than LASIK with Kremer. And all follow-up visits are with Dr. Dugan directly and are included in the price. Places like Kremer have you go to an affiliated doctor for follow-ups (and you pay for it yourself or through your own insurance). Don't you think it's better to see the same Dr. who performed the actual surgery? One other cool thing is that even though Dr. Dugan doesn't directly participate in the eye insurance discounts, he will honor them (It's actually the Wills Surgery Center that honors them, but you end up getting the discount regardless). I was able to save several hundred since they honored my VSP 15% discount. If this sounds too good, maybe it is because I healed up really well and am happy with the results. I think Dr. Dugan intimately understands the differences between LASIK and PRK and he's choosing PRK because it's best for his patients. He's not charging more than other places that perform LASIK and he actually provides more service with all the follow-ups included so I don't see him making any financial gain from only performing PRK. Anyway, go talk to at least two other laser eye surgery places and then come seen Dr. Dugan. He didn't charge me for the initial consultation and has evening hours. You have nothing to lose. And remember, you only have one set of eyes!

Dr. Fitzpatrick is warm, friendly, and always remembers little details about my life every time I…read moresee him. He is extremely competent, and always makes me feel completely relaxed during my exam, and I have never had a problem with any of my contacts or glasses.

My one star rating has nothing to do with the physicians performance or ability however, it solely…read morehas to do with my experience in my recent visit. I've been going to this practice and seeing Dr. Fitzpatrick since the age of ten (I'm now in my mid twenties) I received my first pair of glasses there and I've never gone elsewhere since. My last experience here was HORRIBLE. I've never left a doctors appointment angrier in my life. I left so disappointed by the fact that I feel as though I now have to find a new physician because of the incompetence of the staff. Their inability to verify insurance, coverage, eligibility and so on baffles me. As a patient I didn't expect to check myself in, look myself up in their system and make sure I could find my coverage with the practice. I not only had to be on the phone and on hold for an hour but also tell the staff how to look me up. With a practice who deals with different insurance carriers on a daily basis there's no secret that they have separate identities and identification websites to check eligibility and coverage. If I had access to these provider websites I would more than gladly check myself in, collect my own co-pay, and do my own eye exam prep. Unfortunately, I am their patient; I should not have to do the job of the staff while at my appointment. My experience included public embarrassment and being asked to present my and my husband's private information including full names, address, social security numbers, and more in their front doorway as other patients signed in at the front desk. I had reqeusted a private place to present that information, but the staff insisted on an open area with their other patients. This is impolite to other patients and a HIPPA violation in its own right. To leave an hour past my appointment feeling defeated and unable to see clearly, without even having been able to see my Doctor, is not my ideal day. Dr. Fitzpatrick is an amazing optometrist and I would never hesitate to refer anybody to him. I trust him and he has cared for me as well as any patient could ask for. That is what makes this so incredibly hurtful; despite the truly stellar care that he has provided me, the staff at the practice leaves so much to be desired that I find myself hesitant to return.
