Eye Guys Aiken

Dr. Lockwood was fabulous. The examination done by him, and his staff, was among the most thorough I have had. I also appreciated him offering different treatment options. I was starting to feel like a number in a machine at the office I had been using. That is not the case here. They are clinically sound, care about what they do and their patients! I highly recommend them!

I'm starting with two stars because I haven't had surgery yet, so far the exam was very thorough and the doctors and girls at staff are very accommodating. I then found out I had cataracts and needed surgery I was given phone number to get help with payment for my cataract surgery and that worked out fine I'm very happy with that part of the procedure. now when I go back for one eye surgery and then two weeks later the second eye I will be able to fill in the stars and inform everybody how satisfied I was with everything at Eye guys!!

I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Everyone was very pleasant. I would recommend them for your eye care. They do have a policy that if you need to cancel an appointment do it 24 hours ahead of your appointment or you will be charged 100.00 !! Just an FYI.

Receiving eye care from the Eye Guys is a pleasure from beginning to end. I've had several appointments and know of what I speak. The office staff is welcoming and well informed about why I have come and efficient in checking me in. I've am brought in by the technical staff for pre-testing promptly at the appointment time, or even before. I've been seen by both Drs Fluharty and Lockwood. Both are professional, well informed both about my current state from the aforementioned technical testing and their memories of our earlier visits. It's also clear they bring their formal educational training to bear, as well as what they have learned in keeping up with the latest literate and institutional studies. I've read other reviews of the Eye Guys' practice, some of them negative and wondered if those that are derogatory have mistaken the practice they are reviewing. I've never experienced nor observed any of the activity or issues described. I'd advise ignoring the negative reviews as they must be mistaken.

I opted for laser cataract surgery. The Aiken facility gets 5 stars! It was overall a very pleasant experience each time I went. Dr. Lockwood is excellent, both in medical and in interpersonal skills. He explains everything and answers questions; you're not rushed through the appointment. Dr. Fluharty is very competent and personable. Working with Serena (the Surgical Coordinator) for paperwork was a pleasure. The office doesn't overbook appointments. I've had 3 appointments, and I've not waited more than 10 minutes to be seen. I had a minor issue after surgery and was accommodated immediately. In contrast: I'd been to the Augusta office and the difference is incredible! Augusta staff members were sometimes rude, you'd wait quite a while to get seen, there's an overcrowded waiting area, and they grossly overbook clients. Nothing is explained to you. The Augusta office seems like an eye care "mill." I'd opt for the Aiken office every time! I'll update if my experience changes when my next eye gets done in a few weeks. Update: It's been three weeks since the last surgery. My vision is almost perfect, I'm satisfied so far with everything at the Aiken office. They give great responses to any issues that come up and treat you as if they value you. Don't hesitate to go to the Eye Guys in Aiken for your eye care needs.

Dr. Lockwood is great. For two years in a row before I moved here I told my previous eye doctor that I sometimes was seeing two objects instead of one. He totally dismissed me. The first appointment I had with Dr. Lockwood I told him the same thing and he explained to me that I had double vision. The prescription for my glasses took care of this. So comforting not to see two cars coming towards me when I am driving and wondering which was the actual car. He listens.

From my first phone call, where I was given an appointment in 30 minutes, everyone there was amazing. They operate like a well oiled machine. Everyone has a job and they seem to know it well. Dr. Flueharty was very thorough, very professional and took the time to answer any and all questions!

All the personnel at this location do an outstanding job of providing patient-centered care. The process to evaluate the need for cataract surgery and then to move forward with planning for the surgery is well done and further inspires confidence in the team!
