Nothing really unusual. Signed in, had my usual pre-doctor-visit tests performed, saw the doctor, and left when he was finished. Just like previous visits.

Everything was very good! The staff was patient and friendly.
Dr. Joiner is always excellent!!! I will recommend him to others. He greets you with a warm welcome, and have time for questions. I don’t have enough space to tell you how much I appreciate and trust him. I have been seeing him for over 20 plus years and I have found no fault. Thank you Dr. Joiner, for caring for my eyes. You have done an outstanding job. I pray God continue to bless you.🙏🏾

This visit was quick and effective. My previous appointment was at UAB, and it was too long. I was there for almost 4 hours. This visit has made me want to continue as a patient.

Everything went well. I just had a long wait time before they called me to the back. Other than that, everything went well

I waited 75 minutes after my appointment time to be called in. The intake was done by someone that worked in a different department. It was almost 2 hours after my appointment time until I saw the Dr. he was brusque and rushed. I understand things happen and people have bad days, but this experience created a bad day for me. This was my first appointment and I do not have a good first impression.

I had a long wait time before I was able to see the doctor.

Everything about this process has been ‘assembly line’ oriented. The nice young technician who took me back to examine my eyes had my file in his hand, but asked breezily “So what brings you in today?” Really??? Apparently he saw no benefit to glancing at my chart before speaking. The surgeon gave me no indication of expected time frame for complete recovery, no comparison with recovery time for similar-age patients, etc. Never have I been through two surgeries and received so little information about my particular case and projected recovery period. Full and helpful information to the patient is just not part of this group’s method. Each visit has ended in disappointment, because there is no meaningful information on my particular case, no comparison with normal expectations, no serious acknowledgment of what I am experiencing each day.
