I made the appointment online on Sunday and was very tired and nervous about seeing the Doctor. I was sent an email asking me to complete the forms. I do not like sending documents online so I came to the office early to complete the forms. My appointment could not be found. I did receive a phone message but I had not reviewed them.
I was early for my appointment and arrived at 1:45 my appointment was for 2:30. I was one of the last to be seen at 5:30!
The doctor was very nice although I never heard what the results of my eye tests were before I saw him.
Going to have my eyes checked is always very stressful for me.

I had an unexpected issue with my eye and a church member highly recommended Dr Powers. I contacted the office and filled out the on line questionnaire, while I was doing the questionnaire the office called me and booked an appointment for me immediately. The intake process was easy and I was seen by very professional and courteous staff. The doctor was personable and reassured me my condition was manageable and not to worry. I would highly recommend this medical facility .

The office is in a large office bldg @ Bayfront Plaza connected to the West Parking garage. You can use the Valet service or park yourself & walk across the 2nd floor sky bridge to bldg 603. Just using GPS doesn't work in that snarl of streets.

The patience used was shy of the result achieved by my first visit. this doctor is in high demand for a reason! He is good at what he does. Maybe one of the best. Greatly appreciative of his care!

Great experience with a great team of helpers.
October 19, 2022Mary B.Verified patient
I was 30 min. late due to a dead battery but they told me to come anyway. I appreciated that. Overall, the staff was very professional and efficient. I spoke to one young girl privately about her yawning and obvious lack of presence and she perked up. Dr. Powers told me I had scar tissue from cataract surgery with another physician several years ago. Dr. Powers is very impressive and runs a tight ship. He removed the scar tissue in his office the same day!!! I was amazed by his knowledge and expertise and it was overall an excellent experience. As I write this several days later. I can see more clearly and am very grateful. ??

I was so impressed with his keen interest in helping me and his time spent telling me the options out there for my problem.
