    This place is huge and seems to have all the latest and greatest in technology. They can do pretty…read moremuch everything from basic testing to surgery inhouse. My wife was referred here after a routine test for eyeglasses revealed some minor abnormalities. That was five or six years ago, my wife has had annual visits since that time. When we first walked in we were immediately greeted and given some paperwork to fill out since it was our first visit. Upon completion of the paperwork we took care of the copay then were directed back to the waiting area.  I appreciated that they made sure we knew where the vending area and coffee areas were located. The place was pretty full and the front staff seemed a little unorganized and chaotic but everything somehow worked.  We left our home without our morning coffee so we ventured to the coffee machine.  Wow!  The coffee machine is amazing, it dispenses everything from regular brewed coffee to espresso to lattes to cappuccino to Chai tea to hot chocolate and more.  My wife got a latte and I got a cappuccino, the coffee was actually very good.  We also enjoyed some tasty complementary cookies.   Having read some reviews which indicated lengthy wait times we settled in but the wait wasn't bad at all.  After maybe 15 minutes we were given some literature and a portable DVD player on which to watch a video explaining glaucoma.  We were only a few minutes into the video when we were escorted to testing area where they ran some tests on my wife's eyes.  After the preliminary tests we resumed watching the video in another waiting area.  Again, we only watched about five minutes until we were taken to the exam room where the doctor would be seeing us.  An assistant asked some questions and prepared us to see the doctor, she was very helpful.  We resumed watching the video during which time the doctor entered the room and introduced herself.  She said she would wait until we finished the video before proceeding because she felt it was important.  After we finished the video we asked a few questions which Dr. Dewundara was happy to answer.  She then proceeded with a thorough examination and more testing, she explained every step of the process and was very polite, friendly and professional throughout our time there.  She showed us test results on the monitor and explained them very well.  She said there was one area that needed further testing so we would need another appointment in a couple of months. We were very impressed with Dr. Dewundara and feel fortunate for my wife to be under her care. My wife has continued to get great care here over the years since this first visit.  The stand-alone building has its own spacious parking lot so there are no parking worries.  Overall we are very pleased with Virginia Eye Consultants. We are impressed with the state-of-the-art facility The wait times can get a little lengthy but the friendly, helpful staff and quality of care we always receive make it well worth the waits. Sometimes, when we are in the area, I think about that coffee machine in the main waiting room and consider stopping in for a cup. So far, I have resisted that urge.

    Surgery was not very successful and they don't seem to care or have a plan. I feel I am "just…read moreanother patient". This is my third visit and they have done nothing except the same eye tests with eye chart and tell me how it takes time. My eyes hurt, are terribly irritated and my vision is slipping by the day. Follow up doc told me I need to meet with surgeon on next visit yet today's visit was not with surgeon. In addition, they were running "a minimum" of one hour behind but you can't leave once you check in to run a get a to-go bite. My appt was for 12:40 and I wasn't seen until after 3:10. And lastly, every visit I feel like I'm just a part on an assembly line. Rote verbiage over and over again.

    Maybe I should just be editor of all these businesses! Who keeps entering all these names…read moreincorrectly?? Anyways, this should be correctly named Virginia Beach Eye Center. Although they do do surgeries, they do more than that. There are 2 doctors here both very well known in the area and in the field of ophthalmology. I've had a great experience with them individually, but the biggest negative thing about their practice is the wait. Be prepared to be here for at least an hour and 15 min. They have so many patients packed in that they inevitably fall behind. However, they do spend the time talking to you once it's your turn. Also in the same building is their affiliated optometry center. Instead of an ophthalmologist you can opt to see an optometrist. Then just walk right over to the other counter and get your glasses prescription filled! I often like to come in to get a few candies which they have a big bowl of by the counter. shhhhh

    Eyes where done by Dr Kurtz and I still can't see anywhere near as good as before surgery. The only…read moreanswer i get is that there is fog and astigmatism in both eyes caused by surgery . Sent to cornea specialist from same Company and was told need surgery to fix what they did $2700 dollars per eye. So they caused it and now i cannot see nearly as good as before surgery and have to pay to fix what they caused. I suggest going elsewhere.

    I was given a new prescription. When I had it filled, my optician commented on what a drastic…read morechange from last time. The minute I put the new glasses on, my eyes felt funny and vision slightly blurred. When I asked for a re-check, it was confirmed that I had been given the wrong prescription and they gave me another one. This time the optician's comment was "This has somebody else's name on it!" I hadn't even noticed that my name was not on the top line! He called the office and they faxed the CORRECT prescription. No one ever reached out to me or offered apologies. The medical staff are fine, but the factory-like atmosphere and indifference to patients has me searching for a new ophthalmologist.

    First off, I do like all of the Doctor's I've seen at Cullom & Farah. I had laser cataract surgery…read moreperformed by Dr. Farah and it was good. The reason for the poor review goes against the Riverside Hospital where the surgery was performed. During preparation for the surgery, the nurses and aides at the Riverside Hospital push you to get a "little" anesthesia for the surgery to ensure that you're comfortable during the procedure. Now, NO ONE from Cullom & Farah's office talked about anesthesia during the surgery and the need for it, but I thought - hey this is the same stuff you get at a Dentist's office so what's the big deal! Months later, after all the bills were paid by my insurance, I was hit by an additional $1,500 bill by Riverside Hospital! Surely, the staff at Collum and Farah should have been aware of what Riverside Hospital was doing and discussed the need or lack of anesthesia before I had the surgeries!
