Young female doctor was very rude towards me
Had a wonderful experience at Guilford Eye Center. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! …
They always provide me with fantastic service. I love the selection of frames. Friendly and helpful staff.
Very friendly and courteous staff and dr. Thurmond he’s the very friendly and courteous staff and dr. Thurman is the best
Excellant service. No waiting. Extremely professional and exceptional politeness. First class treatment.
Most unprofessional place ever had a balance of 50 that they didn’t inform me of and had been sending the statement to the wrong address and didn’t even correct the right address.
Amazing staff and excellent service! This visit was my first time at this facility and I will be going back!
Well oiled, competent and friendly machine! Office services flow seamlessly and everyone knows their stuff! Love that they are so convenient to me too!
My experience with Guilford Eye Center was amazing. Everyone was very kind and thorough and explained every step taken.
I’m only giving 5 stars because of these mask reviews 🤣 …
I love it here the staff is extremely helpful and friendly I highly recommend everyone to give this office your business. I always have a wonderful experience with Dr. Wood !!
Excellent doctor and staff. Very thorough exam. I feel confident they have given me the best advice and suggestions for my eye care.
Great experience in their new location. Dr Woods and the entire staff were very professional and on time. Highly recommend this group.
Dr. Wood and his staff is very nice! Dr. Wood is a great doctor . Everyone are so friendly as soon as you walk through the door !!
Prompt, courteous, thorough, and best of all- my vision is the best it’s been in years after my new prescription. Literally seeing things I couldn’t before. Thank you so much.
First time ever visiting the eye doctor , I chose guilford eye center , the staff the doctors are the most friendliest people , I will definitely keep going there ..
Go elsewhere if you want a doctor that will bother to listen to your questions without cutting you off. Happy to be gone.
You guys are awesome and have great services. I have been so pleased with y’all and everything you guys do I especially appreciate the doctors Dr. Rhonda and Dr. Thurmond. Yalls business is such a great christian business.
This was my first visit due to changing eye care providers. From entering the building, the level of care and customer service was phenomenal!
Extremely knowledgeable and no-nonsense. Much better than eyeglass shops with a $40 doctor located next door, which can write a prescription so you can buy glasses.
Had an appointment as I got to Friendly I found out they had moved with No notice. When I finally found where the new location was I walked in and found out my appointment was cancelled Again with NO notices. No email No phone call NOTHING . Not coming back They suck lost a day of work for this
Favorite eye doctors ever! Easy to talk with and take their time with you all while the wait to see the actual doc is brief.
I have been a patient for over 15 years and always had excellent service and professionalism, especially from Dr Wood, at both the old location and now at the new location.
Best care in the world! Walked in at 8am and they where ready with smiles on. Interacted with 5 or 6 people and all were great!
Best eye center in town…they were so nice and very helpful. Helped me so much, I am going back. They work thoroughly and deserve the credit. I love them and they’ve come so far. I would recommend them to anyone who asked.
I have seen Dr. Wood for over 20 years. He is very professional and knowledgeable. My son had an eye injury and he stayed after hours to meet us. I had problems with a pair of glasses and they made it right immediately.
As usual, the office staff greeted me by name, explained all the procedures to be done, and Dr Wood spent time with me explaining test results and comparing them with prior years results. I never feel rushed and appreciate the care I receive there.
They fail to mention that they will charge you for taking a photo of your eye whether you want it or not. This is an optional procedure at other places, which is not covered by insurance. They also ask if you want contacts, but again fail …
I could not be more pleased that I chose GEC as my eye doctor. Being new to needing glasses I was not sure what to expect. However, the staff at GEC are not only informative and helpful, they are all really super sweet. Each person I spoke …
George Thurmond the RACIST: If it were not for the technicians that came before the doctor, the review would be a zero. Doctor George Thurmond was completely rude to myself and my daughter. When he walked into the room he did not speak, he …
I established care with Dr. Wood for an initial evaluation of DED and MGD. I received an extremely comprehensive exam; he was very thorough and offered additional treatments that had not been offered previously. He is extremely …
I had the same experience today(6-5-2018) as one of the patients that came in to this place 2 weeks ago. I m Not sure, if Dr. Thurmond is trying to run off all of his WOC folk or what; obviously it’s working!! If he did Not want to see me …
I was in-town from GA on a business trip and damaged my contacts. I called Guilford Eye Center after-hours and I received a call from Leslie as soon as they opened the next morning. They gave me two boxes of trial contacts and refused to let me pay! Very thankful for their services and very friendly staff – thank you so much!!
Dr. Thurmond did not wear a mask in my appointment yesterday, other than that happy with the services. I just wanted to warn others prior to going in as I would have like to know prior to my visit.
Never use option #1 and leave a message in the general delivery box.. never return your call. Use option 0 to make contact. One doctor
refuses to wear a mask. Had to go to another doctor because of this. Not happy with the other doctors care or treatment.
I am disappointed with the staff here because I scheduled a routine contact lens appointment that I told the staff to NOT do anything that was not covered by his insurance. They generate a bill over $400 which $200 was services NOT covered, …
Had an eye exam to see if my prescription changed and to also make sure I didn’t have other issues medically going on. They are very professional and thorough. We have been going there for years. Highly recommend.
I was really pleased to have Dr.Thurmond and Mrs. Rhonda. They were very professional in their work and super nice. I am definitely going back! They are amazing at what they do and i wish that there were more than 5 stars to rate them with. I would give them 100. i am so proud to call them my eye doctors! I love them so much! <3
Diagnostic testing yesterday with very experienced, professional, and
pleasant nurse or tech rep. Tests performed timely with assurance that all results (thorough) would be delivered for doctor review. She was very pleasant!
All my questions were answered in a professional manner. The entire staff at the Guilford Eye Center were very friendly, patient and caring. I underwent several tests and was screened for glaucoma; The person administered those tests was …
I have been a customer for almost seven years. I thought that moving to the ultra-modern built for purpose facility would result in an improvement. It has become a waste of precious time. I had an appointment, of the almost 2hours wasted …
I changed Eye Doctors this year because I was not able to see with the last two sets that he had prescribed. One short visit and Dr. Wood discovered that the muscle in my right eye had stopped working. Add Prism to the prescription and I …
Doctor George Thurmond was completely rude to my son. He acted in an arrogant fashion and lacks basic courtesy. …
I decided to come here instead of traveling 30 mins to my normal Kernersville Eye Doctor (Which I love – Triangle Visions Optometry check them out!). First, your told it’s mandatory for you to get certain test, which are optional at most …
I’ve been going to Dr. Wood for years along with my family. The staff is always nice to us and answer any questions we may have. Dr. Wood takes a lot of time answering my questions because something is always going on with my eyes. …
I was very glad to be able to be apart of Guilford eye center again, it’s a wonderful place. The whole staff as well as doctor’s really take interest and care for your well being. Makes things very comfortable and assured that all is gonna be well.😊😊😊 …
Dr. Rhonda Thurmond was nice and her assistants but I don’t appreciate the fact that patients are forced to have to do Corneal Topography & Retinal Imaging which is not covered by insurance (I have VSP). Whether this is recommended or not, the office shouldn’t force you to do it, it should be your own decision.
The staff at Guilford Eye Care are very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The office is beautiful and they have the latest technology. The selection of glasses in the optical department is excellent and the staff member was helpful. 🤓👁️👓 …
With advanced keratoconus I am so happy with my new lenses I got from Guilford Eye Center . Dr. Wood and staff put a great amount of time and effort to get an excellent fit and vision with my Scleral Lenses. Definitely a great Doctor and staff with state-of-the-art technology!
This eye center is very professional and quick. I was able to get a full work up done, with retinal scan and eye topography within half an hour of my appointment start time. Ellisabelle is an absolute treasure and a pleasure to work with.
I called to see if they are taking new patients. Which they are but not for the Insurance that I have, even though they take that insurance. During this pandemic it seems they only care about quick cash. This does not make sense, I thought …
Nice facility. Friendly reception and tech staff. Visit didn’t feel super rushed. I was not told about the $28 fee over the phone when making my first appointment and was not prepared for the out of pocket cost. I feel like the total should …
Although I have been a patient for many years and have a personal connection to the Thurmond family, I feel their refusal to wear masks while practicing in the midst of a global pandemic is dangerous and unacceptable as health care …
The staff is wonderful however, today I was called by a gentleman telling me my daughters glasses were ready and I politely asked him to check on my glasses and my fiancé’s glasses so that I only had to make one trip. He was nice and said …
Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful and made me feel comfortable. Diagnostic testing and tech were great. All personnel wore masks, except Dr. G. Thurmond. 🤔 He did stay except to shine the light. He spent maybe 15 minutes. 🤷♀️ …
Staff is friendly, doctors are nice. Doctors explain answers to any of your questions patiently & not making you feel rushed to get to the next patient. Front desk staff speak a little to loud for my liking (not everyone needs to know what you are speaking about) – personal feeling. I would recommend to anyone.
I was on time ( early) for my 1000 am appointment. At 1035 I walked up to the front desk and informed the ” front desk person” that I was leaving. She attempted to schedule me for another day and I informed her that would not be …
When the front desk can’t even put your name correctly on a paper then you know this is not the place for you. I will definitely be going else where. The doctor doesn’t wear a mask and the staff makes it clear that he has some type of …
The day before the apt I was contacted to ask if I would prefer for the Dr to wear a mask because he has a medical condition that limits his ability to breathe with a mask. In normal times, I would have been okay with him not wearing a …
I was in and out in less than an hour! Based on this experience (my first with Guilford Eye Center), they have a very efficient process and are able to move clients through quickly, but not in a way that feels rushed. All staff members I interacted with were very pleasant and professional.
I’ve been going to Guilford Eye Center for about 10 years. Dr. Wood and his staff have always provided excellent care. He is very personable and always explains his findings and assessment with me. I feel that I am very informed about my …
My mother was at the Guilford Eye Center and was treated by a young female doctor and the doctor was very disrespectful to my mother and the only thing my mother asked was “what happened to my eyes” and the doctor said I was going to take …
I’ve been going to Guilford Eye Center for 7 years now. The place is always clean, smells good, and the staff is friendly! Dr. Thurman is kind, communicates well, and shows concern. I would recommend this place for anyone! They’re family friendly, and oriented.
I’ve been in their office a few times. The first time when I went in 2013, one of the doctor’s assistants was very rude to me. She appeared to be new, so I decided to let it go and give them another chance since my overall experience was …
I have gone here for 6 years and will not go back. I went in a few months ago and was not told during the 3 times I spoke with the staff on the phone or during the 2 texts they sent to confirm my appointment that the doc would not wear a …
Although I had seen several bad reviews for Guilford Eye over the last several months I chose to go back for my yearly exam this year because I felt that the female doctor I had seen last year was very informative and caring . So I went …
Love the staff and doctors here! I was a devoted patient to Dr. Gene Bates and as he headed into retirement I started – reluctantly – to see the other doctors. I have a crazy schedule so I have ended up seeing all the doctors. They are …
I very much liked this eye doctor. I am relatively new to the area and needed an eye doctor in Greensboro as my home is over an hour away. I waited less than ten minutes to see someone. I have really awful anxiety, so I was pretty nervous …
The new office is very nice and clean.The staff is friendly. HOWEVER All staff wore a mask except Dr. Thurmond (the female) which is very puzzling to me. I was told it was because she was the owner. …
Most of the staff is great and very personable but I will no longer be visiting Guilford Eye Center for my vision care. Similar to previous reviews, I was informed when I made my appointment that the doctors don’t wear masks for their …
I had a great experience with Guilford Eye Center! Dr. Thurman was very thorough with her exam and took the time to really see what was going on with my eyes! I am truly impressed and I am Excited to be getting my new glasses!!! I highly recommend them and her!
Both me and my husband had the eye check up today. For my husband it was a follow up from the last as they couldn’t complete the check after dilating the eyes. At that point they scared him saying he may have glaucoma or cataract as the …
My overall experience was great unfortunately it just takes one person to ruin it. I had a condition that required me to have two visits within five days. Everyone was kind and courteous but one of the optometrist I saw did not wear a face …
Didn’t have good experience there. Got charged for optional exam without being asked. Also, bought glass and gave them my own glass frame but when I got back from them it was broken. There response was they don’t carry liability if frame is …
I went here as a new patient, they were able to get me in fairly quickly. At my appointment you could tell they stay busy, they were straight to the point, not much conversation….cool, as long as I get what I came for. I was given some …
They were great. The staff was great with me being a new patient. Highly recommended!! Dr. Thurmond was great and very kind.
I went as new patient. The eye exam should have been 100% covered by insurance but according them I owed $20 for dilating my eyes.
Second, I went back about 10 days later to order my glasses. Paperwork was …
I had the same experience as several others. Definitely will not be going back & i’m now worried I made a horrible horrible mistake going in the first place & that I should have listened to my gut. The doctor was extremely cold, & from …
I called regarding my appointment and I spoke with the receptionist named Cathy/Kathy She acted as if I was bothering her to reschedule and then asked me for information that was at her fingertips. When I asked her was the informatiin …
I was very impressed with the extent of my eye exam. I loved Dr. Thurman. The employees were very caring and went above and beyond. My brother-in-law went after I did and he was also impressed. My sister will be next. Great job Gilford eye care. Look Forward to continuing my care with you
I keep seeing people posting about driving while dilated. Dilation does NOT effect your DISTANCE vision at all making it completely safe to drive. When your eyes are dilated your pupils enlarge making your eyes sensitive to light making …
