Review by Shruti Tannan, MD
Dr. Alice Lin is one of a kind. I recommend her as a physician, as a surgeon, and as a mom. She takes such excellent care of her patients, she has amazing surgical skill and talent, impeccable clinical judgment and experience, and an incredible bedside manner. If you need a pediatric ophthalmologist or a pediatric eye doctor for your most precious little one, she is the one for you.

Found Dr. Jeff Board (Raleigh Eye Center). Took my son there. Fortunately they got me next day appointment. He needed surgery which they scheduled same day. Total cost less than $200. Dr. Board was polite, guided and took care of problem promptly. Didn't request follow up (means just more $$$) unless we had some issues. Compare that with my experience at Duke Eye Center: Referred to Duke Eye Center by the pediatrics office. My complaints for Duke Eye Care: 1) Appointments are just too far out. 2) The first doctor couldn't even diagnose. Cost $255. He referred to surgeon 3) Surgeon looks at it and says need open surgery. His visit fee $390. Surgery cost $12k+. Poor response from the office, admin for insurance till the last day.

I am a patient here, but not for long. Here’s been my brief experience. 1) contact order was wrong so I had to bring back my box and get a replacement. Inconvenient, but no big deal. 2) I was scheduled to see a retina specialist, Dr. Magolan, because a round globe of light is appearing in the corner of my right eye. Naturally, I’m concerned (eye sight is important to me). The office called to cancel on the day of the appointment. Dr. Magolan couldn’t make it. So they scheduled me a week out. I let them know the issue is getting more progressive, they said sorry you’ll have to wait another week. I said ok please keep me scheduled, but I’m going to try another office with a retina specialist to get a test sooner (again, call me crazy, but my eye sight is important to me). I called another specialist and they were able to accommodate with a referral. Called Raleigh Eye Center back and they refused to give me a referral—not because I don’t need an OCT retina test, but because I’m “their patient” and they “just don’t do referrals.” It’s sad when money gets in the way of doing what is right for the patient. Avoid this place like the plague.

Had a great experience. The manager Greta came and spoke to me and really inspired great confidence in this business. I will be returning for all my eye care needs

Received stellar services with cataract removal and implants, both eyes, full medical eye exams, and eyeglasses. Their dispensary can get Zeiss office lenses, a specialty progressive multi-focal eyeglass lens especially beneficial for persons with presbyopia (limited ability to focus both near and far) such as occurs with age or after cataract surgery and single-focus implants. I went from becoming functionally blind with cataracts to fully functional with near perfect vision requiring no glasses to drive and only needing reading glasses for close distance work. As with everything medical, your specific case may vary.
