Patient Testimonials

I was a new patient and called for a same-day appointment for an urgent issue. They were extremely accommodating and were able to get me in the same morning. After I arrive for my appointment, they were very timely in calling me back. Very friendly staff, and knowledgeable doctor. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
Had an appointment with Dr. Karun Arora on August 7th 2024. It was my first time seeing him. I made my appointment to see him based on the reviews I had read about him. I was not disappointed! Exceptional, and total customer care!! He and his entire staff were outstanding! The care, kindness, and patience was second to none. Thank you Dr. Arora for STELLAR PATIENT CARE!!
Had a excellent experience with my cataract surgery. Theodore Wu MD was very professional and informative with pre-op on what to expect. Everything went perfectly. I Can See clearly now!
The Doctors are awesome. Great professional care, I was impressed with the way my eye functions were explained to me. Dr. Flemming did an exemplary job with my diagnosis and prescription. The nurses are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Virginia Eye Institute for your eyecare.
I would highly recommend Dr Marcus at Virginia Eye Institute for eye surgery. I was seeing double vision and she corrected the problem with surgery. Dr Marcus told me everything that would or could happen before hand and I am totally pleased with the outcome. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable the entire time with all my visits. Thank you so much Dr Marcus and your entire team for restoring my vision back to normal , I appreciate it!
Got a same-day appointment for an emergency. Staff so helpful. Big practice with multiple locations. Very nice offices, very clean.
In my 73 years of life, I have experienced a half dozen hospitals and about as many ambulatory care facilities. In those instances there was only one experience that I would rate as negative. But my surgery at the VEI surgery was by and far the most positive care experience I have ever had. My thanks to the entire staff but especially to Dr. Christopher Estopinal. Well done!
We have had a great experience with my husband’s corneal transplant…the entire team is fantastic…very supportive and caring!
Always good experience with this practice. Dr Han is very professional and takes time to answer all questions. The technician who did my preliminary exam was also very helpful and efficient.
I love Dr. Byron Ladd and his staff. They are very professional, courteous, and patient. I don’t mind driving 1 hour and 20 minutes to get Dr. Ladd and his staff to provide service to my eyes.
