Dr. Russell Read, MD

Dr. Read whom I used for years for treatment of uveitis has always been knowledgeable and helpful until my last visit. I will never return to his clinic due to the extreme unprofessional care I received. I was in distress and my heart rate was 150 plus. I was having a difficult time breathing. This had never happened to me before. He was rude and I could tell he was in a rush. He actually pressed the top of my head in the machine because I was shaking so much he could not complete my scan. I was told by the ER that the scar tissue would prevent my eyesight returning and I would need surgery. I asked him about it and he said they did not know what they were talking about. I had to go to the ER because after leaving 4 messages with no return call from his office that was my only option. Was not given medication that is needed and cannot get in touch with anyone to renew my steroid drops. Worst experience of my life. The word that comes to mind is Pompous, jerk!

Dr. Read is very polite and always explain things so that I can understand them. The staff is great as well. This doctor really saved my vision. I truly appreciate him!

My eye issues have been tremendous and Dr Read has stuck with me through the years. He has been patient, listens attentively and is appropriately cautious in making jump decisions. I feel comfortable not worrying and trusting his experience, talents and considerations for my care. His staff is polished, professional and full of personality.

I like the fact when he enters the room he comes in greeting you and the whole family, he walks in commonly, NOT IN A RUSH AS IF IM THERE WASTING HIS TIME, instead, he sats down patiently and listens to your problem and concerns. He addresses any concerns in a very calm manner and explains everything in a way you can understand it. I give him a 10 he is an outstanding doctor and we love him!!!

I have been very lucky to have Dr Reid. He is always patient and takes the time to talk to you and answer your questions and concerns. He has a knack of making you comfortable and alleviating your fears.
