Albert O. Edwards's Online Review Report Card

Save your time and money if you want to be treated with respect.

Dr. Edwards treated me for macular hole repair, vitrectomy, and cataracts. I vision is orders of magnitude better than before. He is well credentialed and an exemplary technician. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Edwards recently performed a retinal reattachment and I couldn’t be more pleased. My pre-surgical vision was 20/400–post-surgical 20/60! The surgery opened up a new world for me. Dr Edwards and every staff member was wonderful! Caring, professional, transparent, and absolutely amazing! Highly recommend.

The experience I had with Dr. Edwards was one of the most unprofessional experiences I have ever had in the medical field. Following a bout of sinusitis that led to a bacterial infection in my eyes I was experiencing blurry vision. I was referred to the on-call Ophthalmologist following treatment in the ER, and by the time I was able to see Dr. Edward’s I was nearly complete with my antibiotic treatment ...

The experience I had with Dr. Edwards was one of the most unprofessional experiences I have ever had in the medical field. Following a bout of sinusitis that led to a bacterial infection in my eyes I was experiencing blurry vision. I was referred to the on-call Ophthalmologist following treatment in the ER, and by the time I was able to see Dr. Edward’s I was nearly complete with my antibiotic treatment and had no symptoms of conjunctivitis- but my blurry vision persisted. Dr. Edwards asked if I was sexually active and after I confirmed that I was he also asked me if I was a student, which I am. He spoke to his technician and promptly diagnosed me with “chlamydia” despite never asking my sexual history and failed to listen to the fact that I have been regularly tested for several years to release my birth control, at one point even telling me “false negatives occur frequently, just because you were tested elsewhere does not mean you will test negative here.” He left me in the room with his technician who he then asked to Google chlamydia in front of me while I waited over an hour for him to procure eye swabs to test me for chlamydia in my eyes. When he finally arrived with the swabs, he also Googled how to perform the swab in front of me before he opened my eyes with his bare hands to obtain a sterile sample. Not only was this swab extremely painful, but he promptly dropped the swabs on the ground in front of me and had to redo them. I left Sterling Vision without any answers as to why my vision was blurry, and with no treatment other than a very expensive and lengthy prescription to treat chlamydia. When I asked if it was necessary to take these antibiotics Dr. Edwards tried to assure me that while he was not certain that I had chlamydia it was the most probable cause and “if in the small chance” my results came back negative I could discontinue the use of the antibiotics. I was told I would receive a call with my results as their patient portal is conveniently down, and when I never received a call, I called back and was told they would not discuss results with me. It was not until I complained about my experience that I was told that not only did my results come back negative, but no bacterial growth occurred at all, meaning that by the time I saw Dr. Edward’s I did not have conjunctivitis. After seeing a second Ophthalmologist it was discovered that I had also recently suffered a minor corneal abrasion, most likely due to the improper swab he performed during my visit. If you care about bedside manner and want the optimal care from your doctors, do not visit Sterling Vision.

Dr. Edwards gave me straight answers to my questions. That helped me cope with the ongoing eye issue.

From initial outreach for an appointment to completion of treatment I saw great service and care from Dr. Edwards and the rest of the team at Sterling Vision.

I appreciated the Dr. Edwards' highly competent and friendly and numerous staff. Dr. Edwards' careful analysis of my eye condition and willingness to discuss it thoroughly with my husband and me was important and reassuring.

I have always found every one very polite and nice
