He was incredibly caring, gentle and treated me as though I was a member of his own family. Since then he moved to Charlotte, my husband and I moved to St. Augustine, Fl and I've now got a couple hernias and am also having a tummy tuck. Dr. Ferrari will be performing the surgery and I feel as though I am still in the safest place with him as my surgeon. I would travel to the end of the planet if that is where I had to go for only him to operate on me. We only have one body and there are very few surgeons who genuinely care about the patient and not the almighty dollar. Dr. Ferrari is one of the few. He explains each and every step, he answers every question and will never make you feel like you are bothering him. I'm also married to an Insurance Defense Attorney and he also thinks very highly of Dr. Ferrari. That in itself speaks volumes. God Bless Dr. Ferrari for his God given mind, hands, common sense and compassion.

To anyone reading this review, let me start off by saying THANK YOU to Dr. Khalabari and the whole…read morestaff of Metrolina Eye Associates in Stalling and Union West Surgical Center Indian Trail. I am definitely not shy nor would I feel hesitated in giving my whole-heartedly honest review. Let me start off by sharing my own experiences and how I end up with Metrolina Eye Associates. Being that it was my mother's first time to be treated for cataract as well as my first time learning what is all involve including the medical cost, it was very difficult to find the answers I need to help me decide where to take her especially when she only has Medicare Part A and B and no other supplemental insurance. Cost and finding the best cataract doctor in Charlotte was very important to me for the sake of my mother. I had called every eye doctor in the area all over Charlotte many of those I highly would NOT recommend (Mecklenburg Eye Associate, Christenbury Eye Center, and Horizon Eye Care just to name a few of NOT to go) from University Area, Uptown, South Park, Myers Park, Ballantyne, and Cotswold and every single one of them (the front desk, reservation desk, surgical scheduling, and billing department) are both incompetent and unempathetic that had left me with frustrations because these doctor's office (except Metrolina Eye Associates of Stalling) could not give me any definitive answers of what the cost be for a "regular/standard intraocular lens IOL that Medicare will ONLY cover" even after I had already explained in detail what my mother can ONLY afford. We didn't care what their doctor would prefer or suggest. We only care what Medicare ONLY covers. How hard can it be to provide me the exact procedural code rather than giving me an "overprice range of speculative cost" or responding for which I find it very common and very irritating - "I DON'T KNOW" response. The code is what medical facilities use when billing the insurance company. After calling different offices, many times I find myself having to explain repeatedly and asking questions in different ways that perhaps these front desk/reservation staff/insurance billing departments could understand what I am looking for --- COST! After responding that I am fully aware that Medicare will cover 80%, I still need to know exactly what is the 20% of what basis without it the percentage is useless. In other words, the $$$$ amount. Because the out of pocket expense is very important to us who has limited insurance coverage, we wanted to make sure we won't end up paying an outrageous price or between $1,000-1,500 per eye, which includes anesthesia, doctor's fee, and surgical/hospital cost. Knowing exactly what the cost would helps us proceed to the next step and that is looking for a reputable, experienced, knowledgeable and caring eye doctor. After careful review (including obtaining the probably cost) and two months later, I've decided to take my mother to Metrolina Eye Associates and it's the BEST decision ever! Finding the right doctor can be daunting and stressful. Do your due diligence. Metrolina Eye Associates - Stallings and Union West Surgical Center - Indian Trail has hired the most professional staff from front desk (who are responsive with welcoming voice and great listener), technicians (who are gentle), billing department (who are thorough, specific, and honest), doctor's scheduler (who are cordial and empathetic), and most importantly Dr. Khalabari who is very knowledgeable, cordial, confident, experienced, honest, and forbearing with every single patients he sees to make sure all questions and concerns have been answered. He tells you the expected, unexpected and the worse-case scenario leaving no surprises. He's not the typical doctor who sees a patience as a dollar sign, which means spend only few minutes with the patient and move on to the next. The more patient seen on that particular day the more money is collected. It's like a quota that some doctor do, I think. When it comes to finding the right doctor and medical office/facility, I'm very careful and meticulous about. In my opinion, I find it very important that doctor's office staff the front desk position with knowledgeable, good listener, and responsive people with great customer service not just some machine which many patients and prospective patients find themselves leaving voicemail(s) and calls left unanswered or unreturned. I'm very cognizant, pragmatic, and conservative individual that I make sure that I approach the situation in the best solution possible with choices available at the time. Having said this, I ultimately recommend any cataract patients to come to Metrolina Eye Associates and Union West Surgical Center see DR. KHALABARI. They also do general eye care and LASIK. Again, my mom is 81 years old with one eye blind due to the amount of cataract in her right eye. Today, both eyes are 20/20. Thank you to Metrolina Eye Associates and Union West Surgical Center.

On May 8th of this year Dr. Gear performed a breast reduction and tummy tuck on me. The results are…read morebeyond my wildest expectations. I initially went to Dr. Gear for a breast reduction because I had had implants put in (many years ago) that were too big for my small frame. As time went by, they became cumbersome and unsightly. During the consultation I mentioned that I was also uncomfortable with a fold of skin that practically covered my belly button, as I wear a two-piece bathing suit and want to continue doing so for years to come. Dr. Gear explained that the procedure for that would be a tummy tuck but advised against it because my stomach was otherwise flat with little fat. He explained in detail the recovery that this procedure entails and the scar it creates. But ultimately left the decision to me. I went ahead with both procedures. I'm not going to lie; the recovery was uncomfortable. Never painful (to me), just uncomfortable. But Dr. Gear and his staff were there every step of the way to answer any questions and address any concerns I had, either through the Symplast app or in person. It was the best decision I've made in a long time. And although it sounds vain and shallow these things profoundly affect our self-worth. The procedures have changed my life by changing my perception of myself, and how I carry myself. Six months later I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My clothes look better on me, I'm more comfortable in my skin and I've even started jogging again without being bogged down with the excess weight of too-big breasts. I appreciate Dr. Gear's candor during our initial consult and during the entire process and his staff's attentiveness, professionalism and friendly and welcoming demeanor. I can't recommend them enough.
