    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.

    Please stay away from this Retina doctor! He misdiagnosed my…read morecondition, threw a bunch of laser in my eye, I ended up with a detached retina, and I am now legally blind. I trusted this man over and over when he patronised my husband and I and told us we were "over-reacting " as my eye kept bleeding internally for over 6 months. My surgery was done elsewhere, thank God, but please also know that he does NOT use full anaesthesia for his surgical procedures, and it involves laparoscopic probes being inserted into the back of your eye. This is not standard practice. It is barbaric. His equipment is outdated and I sincerely wish I could have sued him. Please stay away. I now go to NC Retina in Raleigh, very happy there.

    HORRIBLE BEDSIDE MANNERS - NO COMPASSION! Is NOT taking this COVID19 pandemic seriously - shame on…read moreyou! I am a retired military/disabled vet and I was referred to Dr. Reddy from my eye doctor at the Veterans Administration hospital in Hampton, VA because I am near blind in my right eye. I had a scheduled 1000 appointment for 30 March 2020. I arrived 30 mins early for my scheduled appt. Upon arrival for my appointment, Dr. Reddy and his two receptionists were in the office area where I was to check-in. Dr. Reddy was also in the same room/area as the two receptionists - at this time I did not know who Dr. Reddy was. There was a patient in front of me who had just put his pen in the cup holding several other pens. Since I am a high-risk patient, I simply asked the receptionist if she had any sterilized pens. She told me I could use the hand sanitizer to sterilize the pens. At that moment Dr. Reddy interveined abruptly and stated, "or you can wear gloves when I come in". I politely explained to the doctor that someone from this office called me on Friday (27 March) to confirm my scheduled appointment and told me NOT to wear gloves because it just makes the spreading of germs worse. At that time Dr. Reddy seemed to become agitated and began speaking in a raised and rude voice/tone, almost chastising"me stating words to the effect "this COVID19 is nonsense of having to continue to wash your hands, etc". I excused myself and asked the doctor why are you raising your voice to me and why are you being RUDE and speaking to me abruptly for?" He then replied harshly to me (again) "I am speaking to my employee." Dr. Reddy then says to me I can sanitize my own pen or if that's not good enough I leave his office. I was stunned. I asked Dr. Reddy if he's a doctor. Dr. Reddy says I'm, a doctor. I then asked are you Dr. Reddy and he said he was. I asked Dr. Reddy again why are you raising your voice and speaking to me in such a manner. I asked him where are your bedside manners? I went on to tell the doctor that my eye doctor from the VA recommended you. Dr. reddy replied, "well I guess your doctor won't refer you to me again". He then said, "to get the hell out of his office." I left his office and I turned around and went back to the office to confirm the receptionists' names because they had witnessed the entire incident. One receptionist refused to provide me her name, stating she doesn't want to get involved. The other receptionist was on the phone and was unable to apeak at that moment.
