The Doctors and Staff is the best in the business. Parking is way better since they widen the parking spaces or the handicap.

All my questions were answered and my regular doctor had two additional doctors to check my eyes after he learned that I had had a mild stroke (TIA) last month and my sight in my right eye was kind of fuzzy ever since.

It takes a while to do this appointment. Dr. Joiner must be a busy Dr! I like him though, and his staff are nice as well. He does try to keep me from going blind.

Friendly, courteous staff means a lot. A doctor who explains everything and is very thorough gives us a safe confident experience. I received this at UAB EYE CARE in Vestavia. Thank you all so very much. Looking forward to my next visit.

Knowledgeable physician!

It is absolutely unreasonable to expect elderly people to wait over 2 hours to get into an appointment. After 3 years of once yearly visits, we’ve ended our relationship. My mom is nearly 96. We got to her 1:40 appointment at 1:30 because we are respectful of people’s time and choose to be on time. It was nearly 4pm before she was seen. That is completely unacceptable. There was a lady who got there around the same time, who could barely sit in her wheelchair. She kept sliding down & I was scared she would fall out. I don’t know who does the scheduling, but it’s ridiculous to take up patient’s time like that. Patients matter, and their time is as valuable as your clinic’s.

When asked to explain my test results, his response was “that is just doctor talk” “your ok not knowing that”.

It is in a good location with plentiful free outside parking. It's a great option to going down to the UAB campus an parking in a deck for which you have to pay.

When I called for appointment, I didn’t have to wait a long time to get scheduled.

From the very start the front desk staff showed real care and concern. Beyond that, the techs, assistants, and medical staff were very friendly and professional. And above all, Dr Joiner was very friendly, and personally escorted me from the lobby to the exam room. ( I've never had that done before, anywhere). He explained the procedure in great detail with picture illustrations, what to expect during the surgery, recovery, and the next visit. The dignity, respect and kindness that I observed, we all wish the whole world displayed. I would highly recommend this office and staff!!!

I like going to an office where everyone is pleasant. I enjoy being seen in a timely manner. Having my doctor remember me is very nice.

I was impressed with the office procedures being modernized to handle paperwork and payments online; also, with the waiting room promptness and adherence to appointment scheduling and the overall curtesy of the staff. I have always been amazed and thankful for the quality and professionalism of the doctors and their supporting staff during the thirty plus years I’ve been coming to Callahan.

Dr. Joiner and his staff are great. Living in the Tuscaloosa area the location has s so much better than having to drive to the Birmingham area offices.
