Everyone in the office acts as though they really care about the patient. They introduce themselves and tell you what they are going to do before doing it. They do not act distracted by other things or by each other. Dr. WagnerShow more is known all over the country and beyond as being one of the very top macular and retina specialists so from his reputation alone there is a sense of ease and security. He also has a great sense of humor and we all know laughter is the best medicine. After looking at the images of my eye he explained exactly what my issue was and then proceeded to tell me what he was going to do about it. He showed me the scans on the computer so that I could see exactly what was going on. He gave me a shot in my eye and I SWEAR it did not hurt. Actually, I almost didn't feel it at all - just the tiniest bit of pressure and it took less than two seconds. My regular eye doctor had told me that I would probably have an injection so I was a little nervous. I will be going back for another treatment and I am not even the least bit apprehensive. It was a great experience all around.
Dr. Wagner is brilliant, caring, insightful, and reassuring. He has offices located in most Hampton Roads communities which allows for scheduling close to home when non-urgent and availability at other offices when urgent. The offShow moreice staff is always professional and diligent in my experience, and are also kind, compassionate, and accommodating. Dr. Wagner is a specialty provider and as such patient emergencies that delay his arrival in office can occur. On the single time this occurred effecting me the staff kept patients waiting informed, were very accommodating in terms of rescheduling, getting water and popcorn snacks for those hungry, really various staff would stop by different patients and personally ask if there was anything they could do to make more comfortable. I haven’t seen that kind of customer service, or patient consideration anywhere. When Dr. Wagner did arrive that day he provided the same level of attention and excellent service as during every other appointment without any feeling of rush. If one is experiencing a retina difficulty or unexplained uveitis, I highly recommend consideration of visiting Dr. Wagner’s practice. He himself is a bit like that ‘House’ from TV series and knows the unique causes of eye disease / disorders but also has specialty providers for those disorders in practice. Really an amazing group!!!

My experience was painless and pleasant - Dr was professional and friendly
Excellent Eye Doctor and Surgeon. He is exceptional and after dealing with an eye issue and visiting other optometrist and eye doctors, my neighbor gave me his name and he was able to do the surgery and resolve my eye issue. I will recommend Dr. Wagner to all my friends and family when they need a Specialist. His staff is very accommodating, friendly and helpful.

As usual
Dr Stan Wagner-OUTSTANDING EYE SPECIALIST- Fabulous and very knowledgeable and great expertise in the field corrected my eye issues with surgery. I am thrilled I found him through a referral. I had been to 3 others eye doctors that blew me off with the issue with a wait and see or lacked the knowledge how to correct the eye issue. Dr. Stan Wagner, staff and office very professional, knowledgeable and excellent and resolved by eye issue. OUTSTANDING EYE SPECIALIST!!!! V. Stevens
