The Facility @ Carolina Eye Care is very convenient & impressive. We were greeted by a kind lady named Jennifer. A pleasant young man named Tim escorted us to the exam room & recorded all of my necessary information cheerfully. My husband & I were very impressed with Dr. Erik Happ. He was very professional and very kind. He put me @ ease immediately with his knowledge & his detailed explanation of the process & the procedures that I will be facing. Alissa is the new Scheduling Coordinator & she handled the process like a veteran. She scheduled my ...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience at Carolina Eye Care. Dr. Eric and the entire staff were professional, kind, and attentive throughout the whole process.

I truly appreciate the excellent care I received and would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality eye care. Thank you, Dr. Eric and team!

2.0 · Anne Spencer · Carolina Eyecare Physicians - West Ashley I6 months ago

The doctor is just fine (Dr. Burger). But I am leaving to find another practice for my eye care because of the manner in which the staff at the local office, the billing department and the area "Director of Operations" managed a complaint.
