Dr. Darlington is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EYE DOCTOR I have ever had. He is very smart, professional, caring, and provides exceptional patient care. He takes time with you and is a great listener with resolutions. I always feel greShow moreat after my office visit knowing that he answered my questions and provided me with great care. He is up on the newest information regarding eye diseases, etc. His staff (front office; surgery center; clinical) are exceptional and they work together as a great team! I am very thankful for all he has done for my eyes (Glaucoma and Cataracts). I trust him completely and know he will provide me the best care at every visit. I have heard from so many patients how wonderful he is. I am referring everyone I know to him. Thank you, Dr. Darlington and Team, for providing me with exceptional customer service and clinical care. His Team is a great role-model for others. I am thankful for all of you! Margaret Schwanda

Today's visit took 2.5 hrs for my yrly exam because of lengthy wait times between segments performed by the assistants before finally seeing Dr. Darlington. It was reminiscent of the unfortunate wait times when he was part of the Show moreprevious eye care business, but which initially, seemed much improved with Atlantic Eye. Also, although I have been his patient for several years, it would be most reassuring and courteous if he would address the patient, me, by my name when he enters the exam room. However, i still give him five stars because, most importantly, Dr. Darlington is an excellent opthomologist and eye surgeon. Anyone can tell that he 'knows his stuff' and can and does explain any visual problems in a way one can understand along with options to resolve those issues. Thank you, Dr. Darlington
