I highly recommend Dr Hairston as he completely repaired my detached retina which I was 99 percent blind, to 100 ???? percent restored vision. He is exceptionally skilled in retina surgery.

Dr. Harriston is such an excellent doctor. I love him so much, not because he's a wonderful and top of the line Retina Specialist, but because he is genuinely caring about his patients, beyond his title and their eyes. I shared my mom's funeral program with Dr. Harriston. He took time to look at it and thanked me for sharing it with him, with condolences. Everyone from the front door to the doctor, shared a vital part in preparing my eyes for whatever treatment they may need. Feel better, Dr. Harriston! You and your team are the BEST!

Very informative and caring, wonderful surgeon and service

LOVE Dr. Hairston! He was very attentive, thorough, and personable. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Hairston is competent, efficient and professional.

Dr. Hairston is ALWAYS friendly and competent. He has done several exams and a laser procedure to repair a “secondary cataract”. I extensively researched before choosing an eye specialist and feel completely confident I chose wisely. I would recommend him and Eye Institute of West Florida to anyone looking for a specialist in whom they can have complete confidence.

You need to call The Eye Institution of West Florida like yesterday and make your appointment. Dr. Hairston and Dr. Cothran and the whole staff are the Bomb Diggady! Try them you will Love them!

He is simply the best- I completely trust him with my peepers!

Excellent.

Great

As usual, Dr. Hairston is great. His support staff is great to, and had everything done ready for the Dr before he came in. Almost zero wait. He is VERY knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things well.

Excellent. Professional.

Dr. Hairston has treated my eyes for many years. His care has provided me with very good vision. Eye injections are painless and professionally done. I highly recommend him.

Good . The office is well organized . The people are pleasant. The doctor is professional. I go almost every month and there is little deviation to the excellent service that is provided.

Dr Hairston is always Professional. Pleasant and an expert in his field of retinal problems He totally restored vision in my right eye about 8 years ago when my retina detached. I was concerned about my left eye now, as I noticed increase in floaters. He did a thorough exam. Reassured me that my retina is fine. I will and have recommended without any hesitation. I will always go to him for retina following.

I have been with Dr. Hairston for several years and think very highly of him. We are snowbirds, so I get treated for my condition in Massachusetts. When we come to Florida, Dr. Hairston picks right up where the other doctor left off. He is an excellent doctor, very accommodating, and has a great sense of humor. I am extremely thankful that I found him and I highly recommend him.

Excellent

Dr. Richard Hairston Is brilliant, professional. He has saved my vision and I always refer my nursing patients to him and EIWF.

Dr HAIRSTON is patient and understanding. He explains things in simple terms. He was very gracious in giving us a second opinion which gave us a great deal of confidence in our treatment plan.

Very professional and efficient!

Everyone was very personable, from the field test technician to Dr Hairston. He will be my go to eye Dr.

Dr. Hairston is a kind, very personable, and talented doctor. He answers questions so they can be understood and I trust him. His staff is professional and very helpful. They don't waste your time and their scheduling runs pretty much like clockwork.

Able to get a quick appointment and Dr. H explained the problem and is working to resolve!

Dr Hairston appeared to be an easy going guy with an attentive team that seem to care about you. He diagnosed my problem, got me into the laser surgery room, did his thing and boom I’m better. Thank you Dr Hairston and team

Doctor Hariston was amazing! I am confident and relieved there is no Retinal Detachment. The exam and additional studies were thorough and the staff was very aware of and accommodating in regards to my anxiety.

It's too soon to give a 5 star rating, but everything has been good so far.

It was a very busy day, most of my visit was spent with assistants and I felt a little rushed, my time with Dr. Hairston was minimal and I would liked a bit more communications.. I had chosen Dr. Hairston because my friends who are his patients had said he goes over your issue in detail. I didn't get that feeling out of my visit. However I liked him and felt confident in his diagnostic. Again as I said they were packed.

The people are so caring an sweet an Dr Hairston is the best

I am a US Navy Veteran sent to the Eye Institute of West Florida by the VA Medical Center at Bay Pines, Fl to a great Retina Specialist Dr. Richard J. Hairston. When I first came there over 3 years ago I could not see out of my left eye and I had blood in both eyes due to an eye stroke. By the expertise of Dr. Hairston doing laser surgery on both eyes the bleeding stopped and through him placing an implant in my left eye I can see very well. It's a Miracle what doctor Harriston has done. When I'm driving I can see wonderfully in the day or night. I thank God for Dr.Hairston a doctor with the expertise of an Angel.

Professional, experienced, and the best place to go for any eye issue.

Very good system to get you in and out quickly and not exposing you to COVID risk by making everyone mask and move you thru so you can get out faster. Very high tech machines to keep your vision issues under control

I always feel confident with the quality of care I receive from the Dr. and his great staff.

organized now so faster service.

impressive office. Dr no-nonsense and straightforward.

Seemed professional

Great experience

Dr. Hairston is the best been going to him for several years I would recommend him to everyone.

Dr Hairston is not only knowledgeable, but is personable. His staff are friendly, but keep things moving. They work as a team, to the benefit of the patient. It's something you don't experience much any more.

Was a great first visit. Very personable and professional.

In a word Dr. Hairston is phenomenal. Personable, approachable, caring, smart, thorough, knowledgeable and experienced with very strong academic training. On top of that he is a highly skilled surgeon.

Professional, reassuring, willingly answered question, advised on what to expect and do, efficient focused exam. Comfortable. Thank you!

This physician is not only highly competent, but compassionate and friendly. He took the time to answer all my questions and to allay the fears I had. Further, the office and staff are cheery and friendly.

Great exam

Professional and right to the point He answered my questions and brought to my attention certain facts regarding driving

Always a pleasure to see Dr. Hairston, very professional & pleasant.. Keep up the good work ! Thanks again

It was great! He is so good at his job and he is personable! One of my favorite Doctors.

It is very busy office. I received thorough testing by assistants prior to seeing Dr Hairston. The offices are very clean and covid precautions followed. I received good news from the doctor but wish that he had spent minute more to ask if I had more concerns. I think the office should have educational handouts or a qualified person to do an exit interview to give information. I believe that Dr Hairston is excellent, but the atmosphere was one of having too much business to have the time for personal care of the customer.

Dr. Hairston has been assisting me with several eye conditions since 2015. I definitely trust him with something as precious as my sight. Glad I was referred to him.

very informational and very caring. I'm not from area

I am delighted to be his patient! He takes time to explain findings and answer questions. He is personable and caring. I am appreciative!

Always pleasant and very thorough! I wouldn't trust my eyes to anyone else!

If you want a doctor that doesn't listen to you and that dismisses you as soon as you decline elective surgery, see Dr. Hairston. If you want a doctor that cares about you and your health and listens to what you have to offer about your health, go elsewhere.

Dr. Hairston and very professional and does not waist anytime.

I have been seeing Dr Hairston for a few years now. Treatment has been outstanding!

Dr Hairston is very thorough and clearly explains my eye status. His staff is very professional and they create a feeling of confidence.

Very professional office and very caring staff that know what they are doing. Dr. Hairston is fantastic in explaining everything.

All EIWF Staff members were polite, patient and technically competent. This was a "high-tech" visit which included an OCT and an injection in my left eye, which resulted in very little discomfort during or after the visit Well done!

Dr. Hairston, in my opinion, is an 11 on a scale of 10! I would say best in his field. Nice too!

They did a great job of distancing and cleaning between patients and during waiting periods.
