William Branner's Online Review Report Card

Do NOT patronize this practice. It's all $$$$$$ AND Dr. Branner after other insulting comments, upon my departure said, "Screw you lady"!? My mom was among his first patients & thought he'd hung the moon. She's now smiting his greedy, rude self from Heaven.

My husband and I went to Dr. Branner because we both relieved a diagnosis of needing cataract surgery from another doctor out of the blue. After checking us he said we did not needed it yet. We were not having issues and felt the other diagnosis was incorrect. He is very good at what he does. I have completed eyes, and my glasses are great. Highly recommend him.

I am thrilled with the result of the laser assisted cataract surgery performed by Dr. Branner. The procedure was pain free, and immediately afterward I had 20-20 vision in a world of suddenly bright and beautiful colors. I am most grateful.

Been my doctor for over 15 years.saved my vision by doing eye surgery at the right time instead of rushing to do the surgery before the time............

He's the only eye doctor I'd want looking into or touching my eyes

Dr. Branner ruined my eye sight. He left me with double vision for 3 months, then over corrected on the next surgery. Do not use him.

Most fantastic cataract surgeon ever!!! I can drive at night and read without glasses.

The first time I visited Dr. Branner, I was thinking my red eye was from something I got in my eye while working in my yard. I was grateful to him and his great staff who worked me in because of the discomfort and redness I was having, to an obviously busy day for them. After a careful look at my eye he determined I had uveitis, definitely not due to anything I got in my eye. He questioned me about any back pain, which surprised me, but I did have some chronic pain which I had been told by other physicians was arthritis. Dr. Branner started me on some special drops, recommended a blood test, and sent me to a Rheumatologist, who diagnosed me with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a condition that when treated kept me from experiencing years of future disability. My wife says I am no longer a mean person, I guess because my pain is gone. My eye responded to Dr. Branner's treatment and my vision is 20/20. His diagnosis, treatment and referral changed my life. He was worth the wait!

I have been a patient at Charlotte Ophthalmology for about 13 years or so. I have always been amazed at how nice and polite the staff is. Dr Branner always is friendly and usually on time, the few times I had to wait, he always offered his apologies. My whole family sees Dr Branner for their eye care also and really always enjoys their visit. A few years ago my Mom even had cataract surgery by him and did very well, now she can see good enough to drive at night again. My Mom liked him so well that when her brother in law had eye problems she referred him to Dr. Branner, he also had cataracts and had his surgery a few short months ago. I give Dr Branner and his staff a grade A + for all their hard work!!!!!!

Dr. Branner and his staff at Charlotte Ophthalmology Clinic meet or exceed the standards of care in caring for their patients. For all patients including surgery patients there is a doctor available 24/7. Any post-op patient calling with a concern is immediately triaged to an experienced and certified ophthalmic technician who confers with the patient and will likely recommend the patient come in and be seen that day to rule out any vision threatening condition despite the extra waiting time for other patients this might create. If the patient does not come in as recommended, whose negligence is that? If that patient is given an appointment for the following day, and does not keep that, whose negligence is that? Unfortunately, it is not possible to fix or cure everything, especially when the patient is not there. Dr. Branner takes pride in his care and reputation with his patients and staff so it is a tragedy felt by all when a patient has a poor and unexpected outcome; fortunately in his 23 years of caring for patients in the Charlotte area, experiences like the one below are rare indeed.
