Dr Storey and his team are great team when it comes to your Retina Care. I would highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and all his team treat you with courtesy and respect.

We were, once again, in awe of Adrian’s ability to connect with our daughter with multiple disabilities. She immediately remembered him and felt very comfortable. Because of his skill, patience, and finesse, he successfully tested her in …
The staff at Austin retina associates are friendly and professional. My experience with Doctor Dooner is that he is warm, professional, skilled and upfront. I found them to be quite refreshing.

This team is efficient and on time! I always get in and out, but don’t feel like the staff or Dr. Harper rushed me. I would highly recommend Austin Retina for any eye issues.
Dr Harper has given me excellent care for 14 years. I had ocular melanoma and I have always felt my care by him has been top notch. He gives me all the information I need and gives me compassionate words when needed. He is honest and …
Austin Retina is an amazing place! Dr Martinez and all of the staff, so professional and makes the experience as good as it can be. We thank them for vision!
Have been coming to Dr. Nixon for several years and him and his staff provide the best service hands down. Being bilingual, I appreciate how the staff assists patients in their own language.
I truly appreciate Austin Retina Associates for their medical professionalism and their kind patient care. Great folks!!
I have recently had several appointments at Austin Retina in Round Rock and Austin. All COVID protocols were in place. Both offices are run like well-oiled machines, competently and efficiently transferring patients through stations of …
The person taking the pictures of eye was on OJT which was fine. Second person in next step. I have never seen. Had on red uniform and lacking in social skills. No intro with her name etc. I’ve coming here since 2010 and am always greeted and some social talk. Noah was great. Of course Dr NiXon is super
Amazing experience! The efficiency and professionalism of the ARA Team rates a 10 out of 10. I arrived at 9:30AM on my first visit to investigate a possible detached retina. One hour later, I had received three separate tests, spent 15 …
Dr. Storey is an answer to prayer. As a new patient needing perpetual eye injections, I came from a wonderful doctor in Denver in whom I have trusted for many years. Consequently, I was very worried about finding another ophthalmologist as …

The check in process and subsequent evaluation process through the steps of collecting my demographic information, collecting my medical history and checking my initial eye health was the smoothest thing I have ever experienced. …
This practice is way overbooked. It was as crowded as a popular restaurant. Waiting room could not accommodate the patient load, with enough seating, at safe distances. How does a specialized practice provide quality care, when they have …

What a phenomenal result received after surgery by Dr. Ryan Young. I had a strange case, and was very concerned to have the surgery at all. …
They often overbook and you are forced to either rebook for anothet time orvwaitban inordinate time.
The staff is great. Dr. Dooner is slooooooow. I understand these visits take a while. But I’m sitting here at 2 hours and still haven’t seen him. This is the standard time it has taken at my visits here. In addition, despite the fact that I …
Pre-pandemic, it was brought to my attention at my regular eye visit that I had some holes in my retina that needed repair. I was referred here & saw Dr. Storey. He was great! Very personable & fixed my eye up the first visit. I’ve returned …
Great experience as a first timer. I barely waited to be helped when I checked in. The staff and Dr. Young were all very friendly and helpful.

So impressed with Austin Retina. The office is so well organized, the staff knew their job and did it well. Dr Storey was pretty amazing. He asked about me instead of just jumping into doctor mode.

Austin Retina is very professional assoc with highly qualified doctors. Dr. Harper is top notch.
The staff from first greetings, to those preforming many test and exams are all professional and warm.
The whole process is smooth and the staff was very friendly. Dr. Martinez insisted on performing my procedure, even tho I told him I was unable to afford it. He said, “I care more about saving your vision than I care about getting paid.” He is extremely personable and caring.
I’m giving 4 stars. The practice in general is amazing. It’s just the wait times are incredibly long for a doctors visit. Plan 2.5 to 3 hours. If you need the works of all the photos, eye dye and eye dilation for diabetes checks. Afterwards …
Great practice. Identified a retina detachment which was well-treated on the spot with laser therapy. Highly recommend this office and Dr. Dooner. They take the time to treat you like a person, are very friendly, and very efficient! Also verified what my exact co-pay would be with my insurance at check-in! Above and beyond!
i have been going to Austin Retina once a month for almost 2 years.
That are the most professional, considerate, helpful staff, All the Drs. are so kind, excellent! …
The doctors are excellent and the treatment really has worked wonders to stop the progression of the disease. The challenge, is having appointments so late in the day. That makes for a really long drive here in a really long drive home.
Dr. Martinez is my doctor and an amazing surgeon. Austin Retina is one of the best clinics in the USA.
Professional operation at all stages of the visit. I had a new concerning vision problem. Extensive special testing and a treatment in the time of a normal visit. Dr. Levitan explained and treated the issue. They are always packed with clients because of rheir service.
Dr. Harper is amazing, saw my son while he was in the NICU and continued to do so after he was home. He has so much dedication to his patience and his craft. We are incredibly grateful for his care.
The staff was great. Dr. Dooner was in a hurry and seemed a bit condescending and unwilling to answer the most basic questions.
I love Dr.Day! But yesterday they were running more than 2 hours late. I’ll get a morning appointment from now on. Still…she’s the best!
Dr. Day Ghafoori is amazing! I had some eye problems after I had covid/pneumonia in January. Went in as a emergency visit on a Sunday and she got me all fixed up after monthly appts! Went yesterday(July 11th) for a follow up and my eyes are back to normal. Cant thank her enough!!!!
It was very crowded so seating was limited. They had scheduled four doctors to be in the office and from conversation i gathered that was more than usual. The staff were very nice but it took nearly an hour from the time we got there until we saw the doctor.
it is very unsettling to have issues with your vision, but the staff at Austin Retina is reassuring, friendly, and attentive.
Dr. Nixon is especially professional and, at the same time, sympathetic. a great combination.
Most efficient, effective and high quality medical practice I’ve encountered in 50 years. All of the staff I met with were pleasant and made me feel like I had all the time needed. Dr Nixon A+.
Everyone was kind and efficient. Dr. Martinez was professional and thorough but also compassionate. I was seen on time and each tech was skilled and friendly. I highly recommend this practice.

There’s plenty of parking in 2 garages and on the street. The office is nice. The hallways are big enough to give plenty of space in the pandemic. There’s lots of interesting art on the walls. They keep the lights low and I really …

I was delighted with my visit to see Dr. Harper. The staff members were all upbeat, friendly and helpful . . . even humorous. Fun place to be. Everything was explained to me clearly and any questions I had were answered. The whole time I …
The building was not ADA Compliant. The ramps for wheel chair access were not adequately identified. The offices were small and my wheel chair couldn’t be turned around in any of the spaces. I plan to refuse to return to this building in …
I took my daughter for her follow up vascularization check and the staff was amazingly caring and gentle with my 6 week old. Definitely recommend Dr. Harper!
Thank you so much for being there when I really needed help. Dr. Nixon and all the staff have been so professional, yet always friendly and compassionate. I am on the mend now and very grateful!
The entire practice is efficient and courteous. Dr. Martinez has to be God sent. He was personable and thorough. He took care of my torn retina 10 minutes after seeing me. He was comforting and the procedure was painless. Outstanding!
Austin Retina is outstanding in every way. They deal with patients efficiently and respectfully. The clinical staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Mark Levitan is professional, skilled, and personable.
Efficient, friendly, and professional. I’ve received multiple eye injections from world class doctors in Los Angeles and Shanghai. Dr. Robert Wong and his office are the best by far.
I have been treated by Dr James Dooner of ARA for 11 years for macular degeneration. He has done an excellent job of preserving my sight. The doctors and staff have always treated me with kindness and respect. The office runs like a finely tuned machine I’ve been to several of their locations and they are all efficient and well run..
I could not be in better hands then those at the Austin Retina Associates. The entire team of medical assistants and specialist that I see upon every visit exhibit the highest level of professionalism thru each step of my appointment. I …
Although I really like Dr. Wong and trust him, I think the clinic needs to improve on communication. At my recent appointment, my 9:00 appointment came and went by hours. After waiting, with dialuated eyes, for hours, I overheard another …
Efficient, caring, knowledgeable staff. Great physicians. Prompt service. What’s not to like? I have been a patient of Dr Robert Wong for over five years and have received excellent service each and every time. I highly recommend this practice and Dr Wong.

In August, I experienced a torn retina and was referred to Austin Retina. Through the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, I have been extremely impressed with Dr Nixon and his staff. They have been professional, friendly and most importantly, I am confident I received the best treatment available.
As a new patient I am not impressed by the service. Dr Shelley Day Ghafoori was very impersonal and seems to me that she was not used to answer specific questions from patients. She looks in a hurry and didn’t seems that she wants to keep …
Dr. Harper is amazing and saved my son Tyler’s eye. We went to Philadelphia to Wills Eye Hospital for a second opinion, where they confirmed Harper’s diagnosis. Dr. Harper did a couple of lasers and surgeries for Tyler until the retina …
