Let me start out by saying that Dr. Winston is VERY good at what he does, and he is a kind doctor (in fact, he's probably the reason why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1). BUT, if you're looking for an overall positive office visit or experience, this center is not exactly the warmest environment. Several of the staff at this office are cold and very business-oriented. In addition, they are very focused on being on the computer a lot of the time. This would not necessarily be a bad thing, except for the fact that it causes them to lose that personal experience with patients. Also, unlike other offices I've been to, it seems as though this center is MUCH more concerned with money than with overall service to patients (even when it comes to simple "follow up" appointments). \t\n\t\nI was referred to Dr. Winston through my Optometrist.

Now, we are out $250 that we sorely need because someone at Premier gave us false information and was too lazy or incompetent to do his/her job. ...read more

There is no specific level of inner eye pressure (IOP) that causes glaucoma. It is a complex eye disease characterized b... ...read more
