Absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Lauren Gormley. I am sensitive to the eyedrops and any eye testing. Her patience, gentle way and kindness was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend .

Having relocated back to Baltimore, I needed to see a retina ophthalmologist to follow-up on a recent surgery. The dr who did the surgery in FL sees me every 6-months. The Wilmer dr said she doesn’t need to see me again, even though the L-retina pucker could tear, and I have a small retina pucker on the R-side. I told her I needed an ophthalmologist (which I’ve done my entire life) to have my eyes examined. She said she was referring me to an optometrist. Optometrists are NOT medical drs. I’ve had 4-eye surgeries in the past 2-years. No photos were taken of my eye - something that my Retina opthamalogist and my regular opthamalogist do every time they see me. I was a new patient at Wilmer and it was a half-a**ed exam. The medical records that I sent in last week had not been given to the dr. I had to find an employee and ask them to look for the records so that my dr could see my surgery records. They were there for over a week and never given to the dr. The dr did not say goodbye to me; her greeting was less than friendly. She got up and left the room when she was done. No one came to get me. I walked back to the lobby, got in line to make the appt w/an ophthalmologist. I was scheduled with an optometrist (even as I complained.) I will not be keeping that appointment. I will find another practice. This is not what I expected from Hopkins.

Checked in quickly. Desk staff was very efficient Waiting area was appropriately spaced for Covid conditions. Was taken back on time. Dr Parker was very thorough and kind. In addition to the exam, she took the time to clearly explain what she was doing and also spent time educating me regarding possible conditions She answered all my questions. I didn’t feel at all rushed. She was very thorough in adhering to sanitary practices. I felt very safe. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring thorough ophthalmologist
