Newcastle Eye Centre

Had to wait Dr Eugene Hollenbach 1 hour and 15 minutes and I was treated really poorly. He was enter and leaving his room a lot and was really uncomfortable. I was sitting in the room like I wasn't there for him. He saw my eyes and then said that I needed a few drops but never explained me how to do it, he just said that I have to ask to the chemist. He spent 10 minutes with me after all the time I was there. Really unprofessional. $200 for nothing... Went to another Eye Centre and a doctor told me I had blepharitis, obviously he was right.

I have been a long term patient of the Newcastle Eye Centre. To say that I am upset by my latest appointments is an understatement. I presented in December with elevated pressures in my right eye at which point I told them that it had been Lasered before. They disregarded my information and gave me drops and to come back for lasering a week later I presented and pushed the issue of the previous work. Dr Davies then wanted me to see Dr Birch who originally did the right eye. I presented a month later for Dr Birch to want to laser the Left eye not the right and couldn't even see that I was taking drops. He then thinks it might be better to stay on the drops permanently. I have paid out through these three appointments $650 for a perscription for drops I will be finding a new Surgeon post haste

I have been seeing Dr Hollenbach the last 3 years for a reoccurring virus in my eye. I visit the clinic frequently, the staff are always happy to help and answer any questions I may have. I have seen a few other ophthalmologists when living out of the state relating to the same eye condition and I can say Dr Hollenbach has looked after me with exceptional care and attention to detail, he has taken the time to develop a treatment schedule to help prevent this from reoccurring. When I have visited other practices I have been given meds and sent on my way. There is always follow up and general concern for the condition of my eye from Dr Hollenbach himself and the staff. I am so pleased my GP referred me to Newcastle Eye Centre.

Dr Gittos recently performed a Bilateral Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty on me and his work is impeccable. I am extremely impressed, he is an excellent surgeon. The whole process has been seamless and I would recommend him without a second thought.

I was referred to Dr Holllenbach over 15 years ago, HE SAVED MY VISION! I see him at least once a year. Yes sometimes there is a wait but he does see a lot of patients and those staff are a well oiled machine always having everything ready for the Doc so he can help as many people as he can. Will always recommend!
