I've seen Dr. Dhaliwal for over 10 years. He is recognized by peers in the medical community as the best, "the man",etc, undisputed when I bring his name up! There are some reasons you may wait for a long time. He may be swamped with patients that come see him from a multi state area. He practices a triage approach and takes time to treat emergencies .. your also. At my first injection (me on aspirin) my eye bled, turned black crusty. When I called service on Sunday, he called back in 10 minutes and told me to come into office (after we both completed some work). His staff routinely stays late, 7 pm, or later fridays....until done. Delays due to emergencies. This guy is a diamond and augusta is blessed to have him. I will wait for treatment. I want to keep my vision as long as possible. If your priority is your eyesight, go here. read more

3/18/15. Checking/ filling out paperwork/ eye check for pressures and vision deterioration, macular degeneration diagnosis. Was much quicker today. Dahliwal has a nice bedside humorous manner to work. Much better overall experience today. It was over 2 hrs before we saw the doctor. You're so tired by that point you forget what to ask. Write down your questions. Some questions: Diagnosis. Worse? Better? Driving? Continue occuvite vitamin? Hereditary? Drinking? Will glasses help improve your distance? Seeing up close? The diagnosis in 10 mins - No bleeding in eye. Maculate degeneration. and vision is stable. Calcium in cornea. Remove calcium as it gets worse with vision. Risks. Ask doc smith, corneal specialist. next spring. Or late fall. Bring something to read or do. Finished within 2 hours. No bleeding... read more

I've seen complaints on the wait times. Yes there is a long wait time but he is very thorough with his patients. I just had two procedures for retinal detachment, and I couldn't have picked a better person to complete the task. Would definitely recommend DR. Dhaliwah! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Dhaliwal at The Retina Eye Center. He is helping my husband get his sight back (we had no hope left until we met Dr. Dhaliwal). He is an amazing surgeon, he kept us well informed, and he cares. His staff are professional and nice. The office is clean with covid standards in place. read more

Dr. Dhaliwal is one of the most considerate and professional doctors I have ever been to. He always takes time to explain everything in detail so I understand. Because of him I can see much better than I thought I would. I have recommended him to family and they have also had great success. I highly recommend Him. Charles H. Beale read more

As far as care goes, I can't complain. The doctors were good and competent; and the office staff for the most part is friendly. If you have an appointment, though, don't plan anything else for your day. They tell you to allow two to three hours for each visit and you will need a driver. We have NEVER spent less than 4 hours in the office. Today our appointment was at 9:15. We weren't called back until 10:45. Wait times in this office are completely uncalled for. It is an inconvenience to both the patient and the driver. read more

Will never go back!! I wish I wouldn't have wasted my four hours and money to see Dr. Demediuk. I would expect that a retina specialist would have experience or knowledge of Retinitis Pigmentosa. She suggested that I go to my g.p. for treatment options. The office did a series of tests on my eyes and when I asked if my range of vision had gotten worse she would not give me a definitive answer. I ended up looking up my own treatment for RP on Google. Last week I called over five times to discuss the option of a service dog and she didn't have the courtesy to call me back. After I continually called one of the staff told me that Dr. Demediuk didn't handle these situations (service dog for visually impaired) and that I should call another doctor, possible an Opthomologist. What a terrible and unprofessional way to treat a patient. read more

I saw Dr. Dhaliwal a while back, and was really shocked at the below reviews and want to respond. I remember having to wait a while, but it was well worth it because I found the doctor totally pleasant, funny, gave me tons of information about the condition of my eyes, ways to best care for them, and best of all calmed me from information I'd received from another eye doctor. Dr. Dhaliwal was right!. I couldn't e more grateful to have been referred to him. read more

he has no manners I talked to my wife about the long wait he heard me and was told if I don't like it go some were else

Ok....I will start off by saying, I was told his bedside manner was lacking & I was ok with that & honestly my experience with Dr. Dhaliwal was good. However, I waited over 3 1/2 hours to see him & then he referred to Emory Eye Center. His office NEVER sent the paperwork to my primary care Dr & I ended up having to reschedule my appt & thankfully my primary took my word for why I needed a referral because still to this day his office hasn't sent over the info, but when I call they say "well we sent it already, but I guess we can send it again." Now I am scheduled to have surgery this coming Wed (5/20/15) & I am still working on an authorization for it, my insurance asked for further info numerous times with no response. It is really inconsiderate of this business not to respond or do their job, especially when someone's vision is on the line or worse. I have a tumor in my eye, which they say is benign but there is always that possibility it's not, I also have fluid leaking from this tumor causing pressure on my eye so much it detached my retina & I have loss of vision, the fluid is also causing protein build up in that eye. Not to mention, I have a constant headache that hurts all the way down the side of my face into my ear from the pressure, so waiting is not an option at this point. If him/his office truly cared about their patients they would do their job. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE, EXPLAIN TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY HOW AWFUL THEY ARE & GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

I have been going to the Retina Eye Center for over a year. I was referred to Dr. Dahlwal and his speciality eye center by Fort Gordon, for macular degeneration. He and his staff run a well oiled machine. I found out that his speciality for eyes takes over 17 years to master, this is why the wait time is longer. If I couldn't see him. I would have to drive to Atlanta, 3 to 4 hours away or another large city to be seen for my eye problems. He and his staff are very professional, and very personable. They try to get you in and out as fast as they can, but not so fast as to not treat your eye issues. I want to thank him and his staff for working to help my vision to get better. We all need to understand that when going to the Doctor we have to wait our turn. I realize in the world as it is now, we are all in a hurry, but realize that these are your eyes and to get better we need the best. Dr. Dahlwal. his wife are the best in the CSRA. Thank you, Dr. Dahlwal for working so hard to help me and others around the CSRA with severe eye issues that needs a specialist. Betsy Rivera read more
