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 can see perfectly. Everything ran smoothly from making an appointment, to the staff being ready for me and no waiting. Dr. Wood was ready after the initial screening was done and started the exam. I explained why I had changed and he looked in my right eye and said Opps. I think I see the problem. He explained it perfectly wrote the prescription and sent me out to pick out new frames. Plenty of frames to pick from. I picked out the pair I wanted and was told when then should be in. They called 5 days earlier than they told me. Im tough to fit because I hate slipping glasses. The lady took her time with me, worked with me until I felt comfortable and I have not been back for a refitting yet. The first time Ive never had to go back 4 or 5 times. Now I wear my glasses instead of them being a decoration on the top of my head. Their perfect. I would recommend Guilford Eye Center to everyone.

Ive been in their office a few times. The first time when I went in 2013, one of the doctors 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 pleasant. My second appointment went well as well, and I was totally convinced that my first experience with the rude assistant was an isolated case. However, when I returned to just pick up my new prescription glasses, I was made wait for over 20 minutes, while there were no other patients in the office and all staff members talking among each other, cracking up jokes and telling each other what they do when they are hung over. I love Dr. Woods but he needs to screen his staff members better!

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 to mention another add on procedure to "map the topography" of your eye for contact fitting. Of course this is not optional or covered by insurance. I have worn glasses and contacts all my life and never had to do all this for a simple eye exam. This adds over $50 on top of the copay for an exam. I suggest going to one of the many other options in town for an exam.

I recently moved to the area and had a difficult time finding an eye doctor I felt comfortable with. Upon a friends referral , I decided to try Guilford Eye Center. When I called to make an appointment, the staff was very friendly and helpful and scheduled me for an exam in a reasonable amount of time. Dr . Rhonda Thurmond and her staff were wonderful, professional and caring and made me feel right at home. The exam was thorough and Dr. Thurmond answered all of my questions and concerns. I plan on making this group my long time eye care provider.

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 all wonderful! The staff is also so understanding and just recently - without an appointment - worked me in to help me adjust the power of my contacts. I was in an out in 15 minutes and able to see my computer again! Great customer service! Highly recommend this office!!

Ive 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 eye care when I leave the office. I go to the office twice a year and its nice to be recognized and acknowledged by the staff at the front desk. I am a health care provider myself and I would highly recommend this practice to my friends and colleagues.

Ive 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. Getting glasses takes a while but thats because the choices and additional options are endless. I love their selection of glasses compared to other places. Other than the eye drops, we look forward to our exam every year.

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 with there was kind and made me feel very comfortable about transitioning to wearing glasses. On top of that, I love my frames and the clarity with which I now see is indescribable.

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 very knowledgeable, gentle and friendly, she made me feel comfortable during the testing. I would refer anyone I know to the Guilford Eye Center for the care of their eyes.

I called the receptionist to make my first eye exam in this center and she was really rude!!! She had me wait on the phone for almost 10 minutes and when she was back on the call, she was really rude and impatient in scheduling appointment. I wont go again...

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.

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.
