About this business
I have over 22 years of experience being a "Comprehensive Ophthalmologist" meaning that I treat a broad variety of eye conditions including, but not limited to, simple glasses exams, red eye, infections, dry eye, eye injuries, diabetic eye problems, cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal problems. I commonly see emergency "walk-in" patients who have painful eye conditions, have lost vision, or have some other acute eye problem. In addition to providing medical care and eye glasses exams, I perform many eye surgeries including LASI... read more

Doctor Wood was very rude. When I expressed I was worried as I was not seeing the eye charts as clearly as I used to on earlier visits, he made fun of my age and said in a mocking tone, 'What else would I expect at almost 60? Was I expecting to see the same as when I was 40?'!I was speechless and was very hurt with his comment.In a few seconds after that comment, I opened my mouth and was starting to ask a question, but he was already on his way out of the room! He tapped me on my shoulder, said 'Bye', and walked out of the ... read more
He was the third ophthalmologist I had been to and the first to give my condition a name. I was relieved to have a diagnosis even tho the only treatment is more surgery. He is reserved and business like but approachable and friendly. His staff were super—very friendly and helpful. All explained what they were doing and why. I have never had such a thorough eye exam. I am transferring to his practice. I was very impressed and consider myself very lucky to be under his care.
Dr. Wood recognized cancerous lesions at a very early stage and referred me to a specialist for the surgery. The specialist said it was remarkable that he caught these cancerous lesions at such an early stage and that I was very lucky. He is very focused and thorough with each exam and has always provided excellent advice.
Went with my husband for his app't with Dr. Wood. Both the doctor and staff were outstanding...most comprehensive doctor visit, for any reason, I've seen since being in N.C. The visit took 3 hours, with explanations of existing conditions....and no push for surgery since it "wouldn't make a significant difference". Alex (girl) did a thorough and patient eye exam prior to seeing Dr. Wood. She was also great.
Dr Wood has been my ophthalmologist for about 15 years. He has performed cataract surgery on both eyes. In both cases, the procedure was highly successful and free of complications. I am a big fan of this physician. I first saw him when a large black floater appeared in my eye one morning and, frankly, scared me. I phoned what was, at that time, my regular ophthalmology practice , but they could not see me for days. I phoned Dr Wood's office, and they set up an appointment for that afternoon. As things turned out, the floate... read more
The lens inserted during cataract surgery left the vision at 20/60, although I erroneously assumed it would correct to 20/20, because friends had told me that was their experience. When I questioned Dr. Wood about it, he claimed I had asked him to match the vision in the eye to the vision in the other eye. That was NOT TRUE. I suspect he simply wanted to continue selling me eyeglasses in his optical shop. Friends told me it sounded like a malpractice case, but I'm sure he had made notes in my file that would substantiate his... read more
awful!
Over booked and doesn't spend enough time with patient. He refers most questions to his assistants before rushing out of the exam room. Suspect he or someone on his staff has written many of the 5 star reviews.
I have just had cataract surgeries, one on each eye. What had initially been a dread – had turned out to be a painless experience. Fortunately, the choice of a doctor to perform the surgery is a no-brainer for me, Dr. Wood has been my ophthalmologist for over 20 years. The combination of the lens and his skills has allowed me to be free of eye glasses (except for reading those small letters, for which I need reading glasses). Thank you to Dr. Wood and staff for providing such excellent care.
