Retina Institute-The Carolinas

I am so glad I found a different group to handle my macular degeneration. Besides the fact that this office messed up the insurance paperwork repeatedly and the office staff are all sullen, I suffered unnecessary pain with the procedures. The injection always hurt, and my eye burned for hours after the procedure. I could not wear my contacts the next day. Now I am with a different group, the shot is painless, and I have no irritation afterwords. I do not recommend this group AT ALL.

I was seen very quickly when I had my first vitreous gel detachment. I was followed closely until it was determined a few months later that there was no danger of anything else happening. I saw Dr. Garcia, who is unfortunately no longer there, but I would go back to them if I had any other problems occur.

Dr. Arman Farr and staff are amazing. I have been a patient for numerous years and I highly recommend them for any retina care!!!

I don't usually do ratings, but after seeing a couple of 1 star reviews, I just had to comment on my own experience with Dr. Farr. In 2018, just after Thanksgiving, I lost complete vision in my left eye. I was literally totally blind in that eye. Complete blackness... It was due to a detached retina. Dr. Farr told me that he couldn't guarantee how much vision I would be able to get back, because of the damage, but he would try to do his best to help me. After his surgery, and many months of recovery, he was able to restore my vision back to 20/25!!! I will forever be grateful to him, and would absolutely, unconditionally, recommend him to anyone who has any retina issues. He literally gave me back my eyesight!!! I can't say enough good things about him!!!

I'm truly baffled by my most recent experience at this office with the Dr. Samiy & the nurse/tech. To start the nurse/tech did not appear to know how to operate the machine that scans your eye then proceeded to ask me if I knew where the freckle was and which way I should be looking. I stated it's in the back and no I do not know where to look as the person taking the scan sets the dot and tells me to look at it. She proceeded to not use that feature of the machine and flashes my eye close to 50 times trying to figure out where the freckle was though my chart was infront of her on the screen. When the doctor comes in to do my ultra sound he seems to have no idea I've been coming every 6 months (this being my third visit with him) and confused on why I'm even coming in that often (he's the person who instructed I come every 6 months). I stated I was referred to you because it tripled in size in 6 years and he makes a comment as if he doesn't believe the referring doctor to which I responded they sent you the scans which you have looked at. He proceeded to say ok see you in 6 months though this freckle isn't large. Truly annoyed and confused by the whole situation. You would expect a specialist office to have better trained nurse/techs and the doctor to understand the patient he is seeing and state an appropriate time if any of when someone should return for check-up. Visit ended feeling like he just said the 6 months to get a paycheck and get out the door. I will not be back and if your eye doctor refers you due to a growth in an eye freckle, I'd recommend you tell them to refer you to someone else.

Eyesight is priceless and Dr Tucker restored mine. He is knowledgeable, kind, calm and easy to talk to. Dr Tucker made a complicated procedure seem simple. His office is well organized and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr Tucker.

My wife, Saida Khatri has been getting treatment from Dr Samiy for last 8 years. i must tell you, i have not seen other physician as helpful as Dr Samiy. Not only doctor himself but his staff and i mean everyone in their Rockhill SC office is very supportive i can name many but i want to mention Charmi young girl with outstanding ethics and helping nature. I recently had interaction with their Charlotte office with Emily and Brittany. Once again the result was OUTSTANDING. Congratulations to entire team. I will recommend this to everyone.

I have been very pleased with the responsiveness of the team and great care by the doctors at Retina Institute since my first appointment in 2013. Initially, I had an emergency after hours visit... my first contact with their office and I was assured they would stay open late to work me in- which they did. They were conservative with their approach and my vision was fully restored. Cannot say enough about Dr Farr and his associates. Highly recommend this practice.
