I cannot say enough positive comments about Carolina Eye Associates! My experience there has been with four doctors: Dr. White, Dr. Harris, Dr. French, and Dr. Apple. All four have been wonderful and very professional in caring for my eye health. I recently had cataract surgery and had excellent care. Dr. French was very professional and patient in his explanations about the procedure. I am thankful for this high-quality facility in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area.

I have been a patient for over 30 years. Overall they are truly amazing. I have had a detached retina that they fixed in 1992. I have had absolutely no problem with it. There have been lens implants which are still great and I could not see the big E on the eye chart. All of the Doctors have been amazing. Everyone has always been great.except for this week.
The nurse that came to get me in the waiting area was both unfriendly and totally rude. All through her exam my blood pressure had to be rising. I can only hope she was having a bad day. It's sad that the actions of one person can make you have a bad rest of your day and reflect poorly on such a fantastic institution.

I've had a detached retina in both eyes, not simultaneously. Drs Almony and Wanamaker did the surgeries. They are both caring professionals and very skilled. I feel very lucky to have them available in our community. But the biggest takeaway from this last surgery is the quality and compassion of the staff. The nurses and clerical staff were exceptional. Yes it takes time but they get it right and they care. Thanks to all of those who serve us at Carolina Eye

I was extremely impressed with the efficiency of Carolina Eye Associates. I was about5 minutes late for my 1st appointment with them (didn't realize how long a drive it would be.). I waited a bit for the registration process, but from then on there were waits between what I will call Medical update and seeing Dr. J White of less than 2 minutes. I was and still am very impressed.
I am glad I have this opportunity to tell you and others this. Everyone was very customer service oriented and smiling pleasantly. I had forgotten my ears that morning and they all spoke a bit louder - great memories! Dr Wite was very nice, explained what was going to happen and I am glad he was so highly recommended and, I think. will live up to my expectations. A great experience - the best I have had in a long time at a Dr. office! KUDOS to everyone!

Wonderfully good and competent doctors. Very caring to do the right thing for me, not just make as much money as possible. Dr Phillips even uses a pharmacy that cut the price of my eyedrop by more than 2/3! That's really important for us folk on Medicare! I'm grateful to God and to Carolina Eye Associates.

Dr. David Throneberg was amazing and patient as always while providing care to me. I am sure that I pass about 20 eye specialists on my drive to see him specifically because of how amazing he takes care of me and my vision. I'm grateful that he also takes the time to explain any concerns if he finds anything but he never has. But I would recommend him to everyone and I have referred I think probably 4 people to him.

Terrible wait times! My mother used to come here for regular eye appointments. I attended once and immediately had her start seeing my Eye Dr in Fayettevile because there was no personal touch or feeling of compassion. Well we are back today, for a surgery consult (I thought it'd be easier because of the location for my mom) and nearly 3 hours later, we have yet to see anyone! I have already contacted her referring Dr to inquire about a referral to another facility. It is ridiculous to expect people to wait for so long to be seen.
