    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.

    My mother has been a loyal patient at Monroe location for years. After recently losing her husband…read moreof 40 years, she was understandably overwhelmed and dealing with grief, insurance complications, and countless responsibilities. Because she had to cancel and reschedule appointments during one of the most difficult periods of her life, your office refused to accommodate her or make any exception. The complete lack of compassion and understanding shown toward a long-time patient was extremely disappointing. Respect and empathy clearly means very little here. As a result of this upsetting situation my family and I will be taking our business elsewhere and will not be returning.

Dr Ingram himself is also very genial yet very professional. I've been coming here for three straight years now and I'm so glad that they're here.

    I wear glasses for the last 9 years but I had not checked my prescription for the last 3 years. I…read morevisited Dr. Ingram (for first time) mid May 2026. Dr. Ingram was very quick in his evaluation of my eye prescription. He asked approximately 2-3 questions only for each eye. I mentioned at that time that with the prescription that he came up with, I could not read with my left eye beyond the biggest possible size letters, while with my right eye I could see easily the tiniest setting! But Dr. Ingram only said that this happened because of the different axis without rechecking if the prescription that he came up with was correct. Anyways I used the prescription of Dr. Ingram and bought glasses accordingly. One month later I decided that I will get a second eye prescription to see if it agrees with the eye prescription that I got from Dr. Ingram. Surprise! The prescription is different! Unfortunately, I already wasted the money to buy glasses according to the prescription of Dr. Ingram.
