Laser Eye Center of Carolina-LASIK

Had a first ever eye infection in 70 + years. Got a next day after contact appointment. Dr Dornic quickly diagnosed my problem and prescribed a medication and in home treatment remedy. 4 days later I'm pretty much normal in that eye. His office was very busy but I didn't have an excessive wait. He and his staff were courteous and professional. I highly recommend this practice if you are having eye problems.

Staff very polite and helpful. Have seen Dr Dornic in the past and was well satisfied with his care which is why I continue to return to his practice. I recommend him for your eye care needs.

Dr. Dornic did my YAG laser eye surgery which was successful. I can see clearly now and very happy with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Dornic.

I need more stars for this Doctor D. I had a heck of a time with Astigmatism and just one place could give me good glasses and they charged me 700 dollars for single vison glasses. Doctor D. fixed my eyes over a decade ago and then in the past year he took care of my Cataracts. By the way, now I am older and have to wear glasses for distance but they are 18$ glasses. I see better than I did at 10 years old. Kudos for Doctor Dean Dornic !!!

I need a invoice for my visit to submit my insurance claim, called the front office four different times and requested to send, they say will be sent next day. I also sent emails and remainder and no response. I feel like this is not best to keep calling them for same ask so many times.

The whole team was very patient and considerate. Dr. Dean Dornick has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever known. I'm very happy with my surgery. Can't wait to do the other eye.!! I have to tell the truth, though it's hard to get up with people at his office or to get them to call you back this is very frustrating I see I'm not the only one with this complaint. Otherwise I have to say the actual surgery wasn't bad at all. Great, Dr

Recently has LASIK surgery performed here on the recommendation of a friend. The staff was very friendly and quick to answers any questions I had. The surgery itself was very quick and the results for me have been worth it.

It has taken me a long time to write about my experience with Dr. Dornic because it was traumatic, and I don't use that word lightly. I went there with a chalazion on my lower eyelid, and the first thing Dr. Dornic said to me when he walked into the room was "Well that's not very attractive." I instantly felt embarrassed and shocked he would say that. When discussing my chalazion, he asked if I wanted him to "cut it out". I thought that was a strange way of phrasing it, but I really wanted it removed, so I agreed to the procedure. Once the procedure was starting, he put an eye clamp on me without putting any numbing drops in my eye. I actually shrieked in pain because it pinched my eyelid. He readjusted it so it was not pinching my eyelid anymore. He then proceeded to inject anesthetic into my chalazion with a large needle, but did not put any sort of topical numbing on it first. He then took something that almost felt like a laser, but as soon as it touched my chalazion I screamed because it was so hot. He then injected more anesthetic into the chalazion. He then used a scalpel to open it, and thank goodness I couldn't feel it because I was already terrified from how painful everything else had been. He then put what felt like a laser to my chalazion, and that's when I could smell the scent it made against my skin. It made me feel so sick, and I just gripped the handles of the chair trying to make it through. This whole time, he seemed completely unphased by my shrieks, by me asking "is this normal", and by how afraid I clearly was. I think I lost consciousness briefly, because the next thing I remember, he was saying to me "you look like you are about to faint." I realized I was completely drenched in a cold sweat, my shirt soaked through. I was really out of it and said I wasn't about to faint, but later on I realized that there was definitely a period of time I lost some sort of awareness. Perhaps I just experienced presyncope, which happens right before you faint. Anyways, he sat me up in the chair, gave me a cold paper towel to put on my head, and left the room. I thought it was odd he would leave me alone in that condition. Then he came back in, put an eye patch on me, and said something along the lines of "Now all the guys will be hitting on you." Well, it turns out all he gave me was a black eye so bad I had to wear sunglasses for a week at the elementary school I worked at because the kids were so afraid when they saw my black eye. I ended up having to go to a different ophthalmologist who treated the chalazion I still had after all Dr. Dornic put me through. The doctor also told me the black eye I had was not normal for having a chalazion removed, and once of the nurses looked horrified when she saw my eye.They were really shocked, and also said people passing out during a chalazion removal was not normal, because Dr. Dornic told me he normally tried to do the procedure quickly because people would sometimes pass out from it. When I tried to talk to the manager at Dr. Dornic's office about my procedure and how I shouldn't have to pay for basically being injured and not helped, she told me she only deleted the bill because she didn't want to entertain what I was saying. She also said she never heard me scream, and tried to invalidate pretty much everything I was saying. I have actually had to work though the trauma I endured though this experience in therapy, so having the manager try to act like I was lying was pretty awful. I am writing this review almost a year after this instance because I recently asked for the medical records and a receipt proving the manager deleted the medical bill, because I never received anything showing the bill had been deleted. In fact, my health insurance at the time didn't receive anything about that procedure. She said she could get me the medical records, but gave a reason I probably couldn't receive proof the bill was deleted that I didn't really understand. All I want is documentation of the bill being deleted.
