The Eye Institute Reviews: What Our Patients Are Saying
We’ve helped countless patients find relief from eye discomfort. Here’s what some of them have to say:
Testimonials
I left feeling as if I was valued, and that my money was being well spent on something I wanted to spend it on — not something I felt pressured into thinking I needed. The eye exam was by far one of the most involved and well explained I have ever experienced. I was pleasantly surprised the that the Dr. was present the whole time, my questions were answered with thought and not once did I get the standard, "I would not be too concerned " response. It was always a clear interest to make sure I was understanding the technical as well as the results of his answer.

Tammy C.
I had been coming here for years and I'm always greeted by friendly staff! They know most of my family and remember our life stories when we come. It never feels like I'm the eye doctor, it feels like family.
Jimena H.
TEI's team has always been courteous, friendly and calls about the exam. I've been going for year to one in Knightdale, NC and would not switch unless they close which, hopefully, they never will!
Becky D.
Dr. Chad Morgan has provided me with proactive, strategic care and exceptional long-term advice about my eye care for more than 5 years. I trust him completely and know he has a full understanding of my health and the new treatment options for my care. I simply wouldn't entrust my eyes to anyone else!
