Greatest care
Dr. Gulaid is excellent.very thorough and careful.
The procedure was fairly long and I was ready for it to be over before it was, but I feel that everything was done as it should have been.
I shared that I struggled with blurry vision and sensitivity to light and was told there's nothing I that could be done other than consider cataract surgery which I shared was not an option. The next day when I received a reminder to view my prescription refill, I scrolled down to review the side effects, which included the symptoms I complained about during my visit! I sent a request to review my options for using a different eye drop and I am awaiting a response.
Dr. Gulaid is a class act. She is always professional, and she talks to you and listens to all concerns.
Dr. always explain what the problem is what she's gonna do about it or if you need medication or she'll make sure that she watch your eyes in a special way she is wonderful

Dr. Gulaid is great. She has a professional friendliness that helps to form a nice patient/doctor bond.
She was extremely concerned even seeking advice from another department

Exam was thorough. But charting possibly more important than patient focus?
Very professional; Dr. Gulaid was thorough and answered all my questions.
Very informative, she took her time answered my questions, explained everything thoroughly!
Dr. Gulaid was clearly very rushed, which I had previously attributed to the crowded conditions at Emory Clifton. However, she exhibited even less caring in this situation of far fewer patients waiting. Perhaps this is just her natural lack of "bedside manner."

Good experience
Dr. Gulaid was very polite and respectful in the way she treated me, as usual. I'm not sure about her knowledge of the oroal medication she prescribed to lower my eye pressures; Acetazomalide, which was a large part of the cause of my hospitalization 3 days later. She mentioned that it could have a lot of side effects, as she was reading the drug information.. She should have sought a MEDICAL doctor's opinion about using this drug and dosing with all of the other meds I was taking at the tiime.
She was/is very attentive, respectful, knowledgeable of my history; and respectful.
Outstanding care provider.
She seemed to be genuinely concerned, yet, lacked that important smile.

Dr. Gulaid is just like talking to your friend. She's not abrupt and acting like she's too busy to actually examine me. And she's on time!
I was concerned about the pain I would suffer from the eye scan, but doctor Gulaid had the forethought to request that it be performed through my eyelid. Once I was in the room being seen by her, she was her usual thorough self.

The doctor is outstanding
I really liked Farah Guilaid. She listened to me, and was wonderful in how she cared for me and explained things. I do get the feeling she is over worked. I saw her 3 hours after I should have and she did not have time to read my chart ahead of time. Days before the appointment I had sent in a note asking for the DR to read my chart.

Dr. Gulaid has excellent bedside manners and care for her patients.
Wry impressed with Dr Gulaid
I have been a patient of Dr. Gulaid's for approx. 5 yrs & a patient of the glaucoma dept for over 25 years. I feel very fortunate to be in her care.
Friendly provider who cheerfully answers questions. Always make sure they are fully answered.
The provider failed to treat a serious condition that was diagnosed by a different non Emory provider in my left eye 7 days later.I feel that my time was wasted and parking fees
Dr. Gulaid is always extremely nice. She even tells me what my eye pressures are. The PA doesn't.
I love the care I receive each time I visit Emory Eye Clinic
Dr. Gulaid is always attentive, patient, and courteous.
Dr Gulaid is wonderful! She always takes the time to talk with me and answer my questions and is totally focused on me when she is in the room. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
All experience were of a quality, professional nature!!
Dr. Gulaid very professional and compassionate.
Very good professional people there
Dr. Gulaid seemed terribly rushed on this visit. She usually is clearly very under the gun timewise, but still typically takes the time to listen to my questions and discuss fully. I hate to hold her at any fault, though, given Emory Ophthalmology's reputation for being terribly understaffed and EHC's for pressuring its doctors to turn over patients so rapidly.
Dr. GULAID is awesome.
I always have a good experience with the Emory staff.
Dr Gulaid is the best care provider that I've ever had.
