Dr Urias is not my regular Doctor. I took the first available appointment since there was something wrong with my eye. Turns out that my left eye pressure was through the roof. Dr. Urias took a long time to listen to me and make an accurate diagnosis. I could tell that she's really in the medical field to help people. So genuine and warm. She put me at ease immediately and gave me a regimen of eye drops so my eye pressure decreases. She asked me to follow up in 2 days and was just so amazing. She's the best Opthalmologist that I've seen in these 10 years of battling this condition

The provider, Dr. Uriah, spent the whole time complaining about how terrible the recovery is for patients who have tragedies. AE retinal detachment surgery. I've had that procedure done seven times and I'm committed to being a patient that follows Dr.'s directions. I felt that her complaining in front of the patient was very unprofessional and very poor taste. It also showed a big lack of sympathy for her patients. I understand that all she does is corny as and she's an excellent surgeon, but her bedside manner needs some work.

Seem very cocky no concern for anyone's time but herself. Waiting three hours in an extra hour because we came early to make sure we were on time there has to be a way they can communicate With the patient that they are running 2 to 3 hours behind time so we can delay our arrival times we expressed this to them. I had to teach a class and had to text my team to let them know. I was unable to work based on this delay and felt like a hostage in the room waiting for the doctor to arrive to see me. My wife drove me. She had a conference call schedule. She also unfortunately missed her training conference call that was scheduled for that timeframe. It is stressful and enough, going to cancer and having to do all the steps to stay on top of everything and to show up we appreciate Emory for everything that they have done through this journey.This department definitely needs an overhaul every time. I'm there. It seems to be an issue.
