Dr. ___ failed me in many ways. From my very first appointment with him, I was in remission and…read morewanting to establish care with an opthamologist in Ohio (Early 2023), to my recent visits since I had a Uveitis flareup, he has failed me. When I first established care with Dr. ____ , I was in remission and had no active inflammation, and I felt as if he did not believe I had Uveitis. He googled my old Opthamologist, told me I'm fine, and after a few follow-up appointments of being told I'm fine (verbatim) I stopped seeing him until I had a flareup in June 2025. I had an emergency visit with Dr. Buzzacco (way better bedside manner and explanation, at the practice in Dublin) to confirm it was a flareup, and put on a pred taper to hit the nail on it's head. Only a week later, when I got to visit Dr. ____, he told me I was fine and didn't see any inflammation in my eyes. He ended up sending me to another location to get pictures of the backs of my eyes to confirm all of the inflammation that was hiding, and gave me two steroid shots to help the initial inflammation, with some daily meds he chose. Every appointment since then I go through the process of bloodwork, waiting HOURS in his office, spending MAX 5 minutes with Dr. ____, and being told 'You'll be fine, Monica. See you in 4-6 weeks.' What for? What about my bloodwork? What about my inflammed tattoo I reached out about? Why am I on immunosuppressant medication while I go into preschools and senior living facilities for work? I got actively disregarded in the portal to talk to Dr. ____ and disregarded in his office too. There was absolutely no concern for me in his care. Finally in Dec 2025 I decided to get a second opinion, and without asking, all of those above concerns of mine were mentioned and tackled in my first appointment. I could ask questions and ask about all of the big medical terms i've heard over the years. TLDR: Dr. ______ is good for an initial bandaid by getting steroid shots, but if you want to find out your root cause of the disease you have, seek help elsewhere. Dr. ______ shares no concern and the most common phrase out of his mouth is 'you'll be fine.' Edited to omit his name, but you can find this review on his main Dr. review page. Thanks for reading.

I missed some appointments due to my family members being ill. He was upset and said he's fucked because he needs my labs every 6 weeks. understandable, however circumstances were beyond my control, and the family member passed away. The only person I was hurting was me. I signed paperwork acknowledging the drugs could be dangerous, not him. He then said well your eyes look fine we're just stopping all the meds, and make an appointment if I have any other issues. It felt like I was being dismissed and he was trying to tell me I still needed to keep the appointments. well I did not have another caregiver and she was bedridden. he didn't even acknowledge I said she died.

I was recommended by a…read moredoctor I see for migraines, so without thought I decided to go ahead and make an appointment. When I first arrived, my appointment time should have been at 2 o'clock, but the person made it for 2 but a month later. They were able to squeeze me in a little later that day, so I sat in the waiting room and waited. No real apology, just kept saying I don't know what she was thinking. When I first went back, I was with Jill a technician who was highly rude. I felt so uncomfortable. I tried to start conversation to potentially break the ice, but she was so stoned faced and rude. Anytime she would ask me a question it would be accompanied by an odd look. She just looked like she wanted to be somewhere else. The other technicians were friendly and fine. Almost towards the end of my visit I first saw Maha Jabbar, OD. She was nice and friendly, but when she left the room came back she told me that they failed to do an eye exam that was supposed to be done prior to my eyes being dilated so she wasn't sure what prescription I should go with. Right before leaving, I met Doctor Erdey. He was just OK. He mentioned that I needed to just go to Walgreens and play around with the strengths. He said not to get readers but actual glasses and I have yet to find a place that has glasses at Walgreens that are not readers. I did ask him if I was near or farsighted and he said both so I was unsure of what type of glasses to really look for. I then asked him if he thought it would be easier or better for me just to get a prescription and he said go to Walgreens first and then get back to me in a month. Obviously he didn't want to prescribe me anything because they failed to do testing before being dilated. Instead of coming back, he kept telling me how it was just cheaper to go to Walgreens. In all honesty, I'm not even sure if what he told me was correct because when I went to try them on at Walgreens, I couldn't see very well with them. I don't understand why they wouldn't just ask me to come back another day. I wholeheartedly regret going here and I wish I could take it all back. What is more disappointing is due to my insurance, I can only get this type of eye exam once a year. I will now have to wait a whole year before I can see another doctor. Please do your research before choosing them.

However one small adjustment. This office does not accept VSP insurance although the attached glasses place (which has always been closed when I am there) does. If this office does the refraction there is an added $60 charge to your co pay. Hubby needed glasses, we thought, for his drivers test. The adjacent glasses place with limited hours, was closed. So we agreed to the refraction. Unfortunately the refraction was done BEFORE my husband was examined by the doctor. When my husband was examined, the doctor was surprised my husband could not pass the vision test but did say hubby had a cataract that if removed would greatly improve his vision. So the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is that it seems more logical not to do the refraction until AFTER you have been seen by the doctor. The doctor is very thorough and will see if there are other problems. Essentially the $60 refraction fee is a waste of money because the prescription will be useless when he gets the surgery. And certainly no sense in buying glasses at this time. My advice. Be seen by the doctor before you pay out of pocket for things not covered by insurance he doesnt accept like VSP.

I saw one of their neurologists today to help figure out why my eyes keep blurring out and having shadowed double vision. If you need a doctor like this be prepared to wait for the appointment. Fiften years ago there were only maybe a dozen to twenty eye neurologists in the USA. There are more now but not that many... so the fact that we have three on staff here is incredibly fortunate. The fact that the two I have had care for my vision are empathetic as well as thoroughly skilled is just beyond amazing luck. On the day of your appt charge your phone or bring something to occupy yourself. There can be a lot of waiting... this is normal! Why??? Their patients all have complex issues and the doctors will take as much time to thoroughly try to solve each one. One by one.... That can back up the flow. Just realize when its you in that room... they will give you 100% of their attention. They will come in fully prepared (meaning they have read your chart thoroughly prior to seeing you) and will ask you as many questions to get to the root of the problem and you will leave with an action plan and answers. Its productive. You are in good hands here.
