I was referred to Coastal Eye Group by an ED doctor because of cellulitis in my eyelid. The initial…read moretriage nurse was wonderful--compassionate and attentive--but unfortunately, the rest of the visit quickly went downhill. The nurse who took my measurements and dilated my eyes was extremely rude. My husband, concerned that the drops being used might worsen my condition, asked a simple question, and instead of reassurance, her response was snarky: "It's protocol." To put this in perspective, I was dealing with a painful stye that had turned into cellulitis and had already been suffering for three days. Rather than feeling cared for, I felt dismissed. The entire office had the atmosphere of a factory--patients processed as quickly as possible with little regard for comfort or understanding. This was one of the most impersonal medical experiences I've ever had, and I would strongly recommend steering clear of this practice.

This review is for the Murrells Inlet office. My wife is not mobile and has to use a wheelchair…read moreand a van to travel to medical appointments. She had an appointment today, and when she got there, was t old her appointment had been canceled and rescheduled. No notice of this was ever received. When I inquired of the check-in person about how notice of this was given, I was told the cancellation and rescheduling was done via USPS. not via e-mail or text message. No such notice was received. This did not create any visible staff concern or surprise. No office manager was on duty so I was unable to explore the matter while I was there. Neither was any doctor on duty there. I confirmed that contact information was correct. In this day and age, not using electronic communications for an appointment matter is inexcusable. The staff I spoke with didn't seem to be particularly concerned that the notice was not received. It looks to me like there is an administrative problem with this office. It contrasts very poorly with my own experience at the Myrtle Beach office, which could not have been better. But because that office is not equipped to handle a wheelchair patient, my wife has had to go to the Murrells Inlet office.

I went to see Dr. Magrath because of an online video where he stated that he gives every patient…read moreevery thing he has. He also said that he treats every patient as if they were his only patient. I guess he doesn't have much and I sympathize with his other patients. After an eye exam by one of his assistants, I waited 35 minutes in the exam room for Dr. Magrath to appear. No apologies for the wait. Instead of sitting down and discussing my history and why I was there, he immediately went to the computer to check my data. Then he gave me a 30 second eye exam and told me that my eyes were very good. As I began to share with him my concerns, he headed for the door and told me about the optometry service in the building. I do not wear glasses and I had no need to since my cataract surgery. The bottom line- he did not fit the description stated earlier. The doctor was a man on the move and the sooner he left me, the better for him. If you are seeking a caring, understanding doctor, avoid this guy.
