He sent letters announcing his retirement. Good! I would never go back to that office of…read moregossips, meddlers, and busybodies; and he talks out of school and violates HIPAA. He removed one of my natural lenses. I would never let him do the other one, He claimed it needed removing. 5 years later another ophthalmologist tells me it DIDN'T and still doesn't need it. He is obnoxious, abrasive, unethical. The morning I showed up for my cataract surgery, he was disturbed and upset. My surgery turned out to be a mess: It diminished the vision in that eye, and years later I am still dealing with flashing and blurred vision in that one abused eye. Two other patients who were scheduled that morning did not show up, the nurse told me. And Cahan was angry. I wish I hadn't shown up either. Those two must have learned something and gotten a warning I did not get.

Worst Ophthalmologist visit I have ever experienced! The appointment literally took over 2 hours. I…read morewent in because I wanted contacts and told Brenda that when I sat down with her the first time, only to find out later after being there for an hour (mostly waiting) that they don't even carry the contacts. The staff wasn't very welcoming, I could hear them talking about me from down the hall as I was waiting. Very unprofessional. They charged me an extra $50 for "contact fitting" and didn't explain why since I didn't actually get any contacts with them. After the appointment was finally over, I had to wait some more in the lobby to get my prescription. I had an appointment set up later in the week for my boyfriend that he went ahead and cancelled. Save yourself the hassle. Just avoid this practice.

I feel so overwhelmed in that space. And they make you pay as soon as you walk in the door. There's a long row of cashiers in cubicles behind counters right at the entrance. This is a very cold and unwelcoming experience for a patient who is shy or has a little anxiety when visiting a doctor. Tulluck and her assistant are warm and welcoming but what you have to go through to get in to see them isn't worth it.

Dr Tullock is great. Thorough and thoughtful. True professional. Highly recommended.read more

I have been waiting with my son for 3 hours. When I arrived 15 minutes before my 9:30 appointment I…read morenoticed that the waiting room was filled, to the point that some people could not find seating. After hours the babies started crying and the older children lost patience. To over schedule like this is extremely inconsiderate of peoples work and school schedules and Dr's that do this type of practice do not deserve patronage. No specialist in town has made us wait half this long and I would never come here again.
