I had awful pain in my eye. They squeezed me in as it was an emergency I felt like my eye was rolling around with sand in my socket. Long story short after antibiotics and a follow up appointment.

Each time I show up for a medical appointment, I dread the 2 to 3 hour wait, freezing to death in a…read moregrimy, crowded waiting room while sick people cough on me and screaming children run wild. Today's experience at the Southwest Eye Institute, however, was the polar opposite of my previous experiences. My wife and I arrived at 10:20 for her 10:30 AM appointment and at 10:25 were taken into an exam room for pupil dilation.....five minutes early !! Very soon thereafter, she received a thorough eye exam from Dr. Cole, who was very thorough, pleasant, and took the time to answer all of our (numerous) questions. Bottom line: If you want the very best in eye care from a bunch of informative, polite, and ultra-competent professionals in an immaculate facility with modern equipment, run efficiently on an accurate schedule (so rare in today's overbooked medical facilities), then Southwest Eye Institute is for you. It's the first medical facility I have encountered in many years that feels like it's run for YOUR benefit, not theirs.

It comes down to get the off please and then he says they will come back. No hope with this doctor, I am just wondering if SOUTHWEST EYE INSTITUTE DOES REMOVE THEM AND HOW. I got a call from the SEI and wonder if I should keep the appointment and just go on with these ugly growths. Why is it doctors can be so rude angry and tell the patient such ugly behavior? I will tell you of my visit to SEI and hope and pray it goes well. I dont trust very many medical things anymore. Is this the place to ger someone to help me?

He is a hard-working very thorough doctor. His staff is just great, so nice and helpful. I am so grateful for all of their help. The office takes covid-19 seriously.
