    Jacobson pays attention to the patient's entire health and has alerted me to several issues unrelated to the eyes.

    These guys are the best in Georgia for Retina problems. Dr. Jacobson is top-notch, without a doubt…read morethe best retina specialist in Georgia. Unless you are willing to go to Bascolm-Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, Dr. Jacobson is your best bet. He PERSONALLY took the time to understand my entire medical history (rather than having some tech-schooled, slow-writing medical assistant who understands about half of what you are telling her and writes down even less). Even more importantly, Dr. Jacobson demonstrated the ability to think about how existing medical conditions may affect my eyes. After having lots of experiences with MDs of all types, I can honestly say that Dr. Jacobson is definitely a rare and dying breed. Not only does he have an exceptional attention to detail, really good communication skills, outstanding capabilities and the most current knowledge of retinal disease, treatment and care -- he also seems to be a genuinely nice guy. The other MDs in the practice seem equally skilled...I don't have as much first hand experience with them except to say that I had an after-hours emergency and had to page the on-call MD. My call was returned in less than 2 minutes! Dr. Rivalese also offered to see me in the office on Saturday AM. Impressive that they are so responsive to non-life threatening emergencies. Most other MDs would tell their patients to "go to the ER"...but the ER can't do much for eye problems except charge you $2k and tell you to "follow up with your doctor on Monday". Sure, having eye/retina problems is terrible! But knowing that there is competent, professional care is reassuring. Give Georgia Retina and Dr. Jacobson in particular a try...I think they have several locations: Decatur, Riverdale, Perimeter, etc.

    The best of the best. HIGHLY recommend. Best specialized physicians and although the appointment…read moretimes are around 1-2 hours (normal for this specialty) it is much better than the 7 hour appointment time at Emory. Great Physicians and great locations all around the city.

    my 86 year old dad was kept waiting for 3 hours. as much as I begged to expedite the staff was…read moreclueless and while people are sitting in agony in the waiting room the staff can be heard laughing loud and cracking up on their own jokes with no sensitivity whatsoever. Very unprofessional behavior. They lost us as patients and I would recommend to find other clinic because obviously they don't really care about their patients wellbeing.

    I need to warn everyone about my experience at this office, specifically with Dr. Harpeet Walia…read more It's an administrative disaster capped off with genuinely shocking behavior from the doctor himself. The back office is consistently incompetent with insurance. You'll wait months for an appointment, then wait over an hour in the waiting room, only to be told your insurance is denied because they didn't file the paperwork. They will outright tell you they did, but when you call your insurance (Aetna), you'll find either nothing was ever submitted or you received a denial because they refused to fill out the form required by state regulations and their in-network contracting agreement. Then they blame you for it. But the absolute worst part was my interaction with Dr. Walia. After a year of this, I finally brought them proof that their office had used the wrong form--for the second time. Instead of apologizing, Dr. Walia took me into a side room and completely unloaded on me. He was condescending, yelled, and treated me like a child for daring to point out their mistake. It was a total Jekyll and Hyde moment from his usual calm demeanor and was honestly shocking. And guess what? After his tantrum, they suddenly "found" the form, submitted it correctly, and everything was approved immediately. Proving the problem was them all along. The cycle just repeated at my last appointment. They tried to turn me away again stating a claim denial. When I politely asked to step to the side while I verified the situation, the staff used strong language suggesting that I was unwelcome. Upon returning home, I find that once again, they failed to use the correct form. Now I want you to let it sink in that this was a RETURN visit for a previous turn-away several weeks prior where they claimed they could not secure any of my medication for "free". It turns out I had coverage during this ENTIRE period they were giving me this line about doing me a favor because my insurance wouldn't this or that. It's shocking how you trust, and follow the narrative of the people handling their duties, implicitly, only to find out reality is totally unrelated. Why even do this? How does this even happen? Save yourself the stress. The administrative runaround is bad enough, but being verbally abused by the doctor for holding them accountable is something no patient should ever experience. I wouldn't trust them with my care, or with handling a simple insurance form.

    I saw Dr. Leung on 6/24/2025 for an assessment on my left eye and this was the worst experience…read moreI've ever had with a doctor. Everyone I encountered was kind with the exception of her. I want to share my experience just in case you are considering GA Retina Specialists. During my appointment, she told me that she needed to perform a procedure on both of my eyes, which was very surprising to me. She was very cold when she said that I would have loss of vision if I didn't get it done immediately and didn't want to answer any questions. When she told me about the procedure, she made a comment that I needed to be back at noon and she was only staying that late because of me. I offered to come back the next day because she seemed upset that she had to stay and she abruptly said no and left the room. After being dilated 2x, I went home and came back again at noon. After waiting an hour, I was called back and dilated a 3rd time and then asked to sign 2 disclosures. I couldn't read the disclosures because both of my eyes had been fully dilated but I was told that I needed to sign. Upon signing, I was taken into another room to have the procedure done. While she was performing the procedure, she kept yelling at me and telling me not to move when I was being as still as I possibly could. After yelling at me, she would stop herself and then say, "I know this is hard, you're doing a great job." It was very odd and came across like she had this type of feedback before and remembered that she needed to try to be kind. After the procedure, she walked me to the front, said she needed to see me in a month and promptly disappeared. There were no post procedure instructions. I was just told to make an appointment and go home. I had no idea what to expect when I got home, nor what my eyes should feel like. I've never gotten a procedure without post procedure instructions. I shouldn't have to google what I should/should not do after a procedure. Although I didn't get kindness nor post procedure instructions from her, I did get a $1600 bill. If you are considering GA Retina Specialists, please be careful of which doctor you see. Based on their reviews, they seem to be great doctors, but I would not recommend her.

    I've been going to Georgia Retina for 3 years, and I can confidently say I won't be returning…read more I have a rare eye defect, which means I require consistent evaluations and clear communication from my specialist. Unfortunately, that's not what I've received from Dr. Leung. Every visit feels rushed. She talks so fast, it's hard to fully grasp what she's saying--let alone ask the necessary questions about my condition. It's like she's in a race with herself. For three years, I've been given the same script with little to no effort in explaining changes (if any) in a patient-centered way. My most recent appointment sealed it for me--she rushed in, said a few words, and rushed right out. That's not how care should feel. I wouldn't recommend Georgia Retina based on my experience. Patients deserve more time, and clearer communication--especially when dealing with something as important as their vision.
