Tidewater Eye is the Best!
The staff is kind and knowledgeable
Efficient great friendly service. Prompt right on time.
If you’re like me and you wanted done right, TEC is where you want to go. Especially if you value your eyes.
Great Dr. Only complaint is excessive check-out time, should not have to wait approx 15 minutes just to make an appointment.
Wife had laser eye surgery there and they did a good job.
Maybe I should have chosen another time for a Lasik consult…still waiting after 45 minutes and walking out!
Sit here for 2 hours my dad appt was at 1..im still sitting here while writing this..dont they have any regards for the elderly..smh
This practice runs like a well-oiled machine and there is very little time waiting to see the physician. I highly recommend it for anyone considering eye surgery!

Dr. Pavilack worked miracles with my eye. After a botched cornea surgery elsewhere, Dr. Pavilack operated and taught me the importance of the after-surgery care. I couldn’t be more pleased.
They were Good. My vision hadn’t changed from a year ago. When I called back to get a new prescription for new frames they told me I’d have to do it all over again. All I wanted was a prescription. I just had to check out a week ago.
This place is awesome! I found them online, read a few reviews and went in for consultation. Through my consultation, preop, and lasik surgery, the whole staff was amazing! Dr Edmonds and his team were all on it! Yesterday was my procedure …

Tidewater Eye Center in Chesapeake is top notch. I had lasik surgery and my vision was corrected to better than 20/20. No complications and I have always felt that I was in good care! All of the staff is super friendly. If you are looking to improve your vision I would recommend you check out TEC!
Even though it took some time (approximately 20 minutes which still is not bad) to see me, the service provided especially by the Dr and his assistant were awesome! It may have taken time to see me because I was scheduled only 24 hours …
