Their customer service service is awesome. Dr. Gadlin is so knowledgeable. Very easy to talk to Break it Down to you understand everything. I recommend him to everybody I come in contact with. David

Dr. Gadlin is straight-forward and efficient, but takes time to answer all questions and help make informed decisions. I feel he is with me 100% when we are face-to-face, and Sybil is friendly and will help with any of the business/insurance side of things. I wish all medical practices were like this.

Wonderful doctor who made the decision to practice medicine the "old-fashioned" way. Appointments happen on-time...no backlog of multiple patients all with the same appointment time. If you are scheduled at 8:15, you are seen at 8:15. Dr Gadlin does all the tests personally! No shuffling from room-to-room repeating everything to multiple techs and support staff. Plus he actually spends time with you going over treatment plans, answering questions, making sure you are aware of all options and are happy with the procedures being offered. I would recommend Dr. Gadlin to anyone looking for personalized care!

The office was very nice and recently renovated. As well, the staff was very welcoming. I was seen very quickly, and Dr. Gadlin was extremely professional and helped to ease my nerves. I will be visiting Dr. Gadlin again, and I highly recommend his services to any other Athenian.

Excellent Love him and Cybil.

Dr. Gadlin is the most clinically astute ophthalmologist I’ve ever had. He did the cataract surgery for my husband and myself and we are so happy and grateful with the procedure and the outcome. He is exceptionally skilled and has a very consistently compassionate, friendly demeanor. The entire process has been conducted with such precision and organization that is incredible. His assistant Sybil is wonderful as well; she is always kind and very helpful.

I went to Dr. Gadlin’s office with my Mother…. He explained cataracts to her and briefly explained the surgery. We left with information. He did not try to persuade her one way or another….. mom has to decide. We do have a follow up scheduled in a few months…

So far I am extremely satisfied with the care I've received from Athens Eye Consultants.

Dr. Gadlin is very thorough and his office has a very pleasant staff

Professional, and complete.

Dr. Gadlin was professional and easy to talk with. He examined my eyes himself, and thoroughly explained how the eye works using a color diagram. Then, he explained how cataract surgery works, and told me about the pros and cons of each kind. He never put any pressure on me to select one over the other. I was impressed with how he runs his practice. His receptionist was friendly, professional and helpful. I will recommend him to everyone who asks.

Have been seeing Dr. Gadlin for almost three years. He has done cataract surgery on both eyes. I have nothing but positive comments. He is very professional and so nice. He explains everything to you. I would highly recommend him Melissa Carithers

Informative

Dr. Scotty is good at giving you the info you need to understand what is going on with your eyes. He operated on both of mine for cataracts and everything went superbly. Although this isn’t usually part of a review, I find him to be funny, personable and relaxed. I enjoy my appts!

N/A

Dr . Gadlin, Rocks.

I like the secretary and I like the doctor very much!

I hadn't been to an eye doc in fifteen years or so. Dr Gadlin and Sybil were helpful and explained everything done to check my eyes. Friendly, knowledgeable, and expert in assessing my eyes.

I felt so welcomed from the moment I walked in the door, Ms. Sylvia is so sweet and helpful. Dr. Gadlin is comforting in every way. I have 3 family members who have already seen him for cataract removal and they praised him. Highly recommend !!

Friendly, knowledgeable,

Dr. Gadlin is absolutely the BEST! I have been a patient since 2016 and I would not trust my vision to anyone but him. He is professional, knowledgeable—and most of all—caring. I am about to schedule cataract surgery and I would not trust anyone but Dr. Gadlin. I highly recommend him.

Always answers all questions and shows great concern for my well being. Never tries to push you into a decision about treatment. Wait time is almost none. Highly recommend Dr. Gadlin!

Excellent, thorough, well explained.

Dr Gadlin is very personable and thorough. He read outloud what he was writing about my case on his computer, which allowed me to catch any misunderstanding in my relaying my info to him.

Nice waiting area. I didn't have to wait long after I arrived. The doctor and staff were great

Easy, efficient, professional, and friendly. I’ve had annual eye exams for 2 years with Dr. Gadlin and am very pleased with the ease and thoroughness of the exams. I’ve had no eye problems so my interactions have been very simple.

I was well pleased with my office visit. First of all, I appreciated that I was allowed to read the eye chart without my eyes being dilated. I have never felt that I could see the chart clearly after my eyes were dilated. I also appreciate that my visit didn’t take a couple of hours because he was working on so many patients at the same time. I was also thankful that he was honest with me and didn’t pressure me to have surgery before I needed it. I have already recommended Dr. Gadlin to my best friend.

My visit to the office of Dr. Gadlin was a very pleasant and comfortable experience. I had a very friendly and professional reception, followed by expert treatment from Dr. Gadlin.

I am very pleased with the procedure on my right eye. Dr. Gadlin was very good at communicating information. Thank you

Very friendly atmosphere all around. Dr. Gadlin is very personal and listens well. Not in a rush, explains his observations and following procedures in detail. Front desk person, very kind and considerate.

If you're looking for a place that you aren't stuck in the waiting room filling out a bunch of forms, and then move to a room to have to wait for the doctor to come in, then this is the place for you. I got back in the room quickly and the doctor is who came out to get me and then he did the review of my issues right there on the spot. Talk about personalized service. He is incredibly nice, informative and takes the time to really discuss what your problems are and what the solutions are and how we're going to move forward. I like this guy a lot.

Dr. Gadlin was very personable and helpful. He corrected a vision problem easily.

Dr informed me of options and addressed concerns . Dr Gadlin answered questions and concerns about the surgery that I had. Staff was professional and courteous .

Dr Gadlin is very caring and professional. My cataract surgeries were very easy and my eye sight is so much better. I like that he handles the complete eye experience himself. His Office Manager is very nice, helpful and professional. I would recommend this practice to everyone.

Both the receptionist and the doctor were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had already been to two other doctors for my problem, and this was the first one who made me feel well cared for. Thank you!

Kudos to Dr. Gadlin, My story begins many years in the making ; last two years my cataracts had progressed so much it was like looking through a fogged up window. And I stayed like this out of fear of surgery ( what was I thinking). Well I mustered all my courage and went in for a consultation. Right from the get go, I was greeted by Miss Cybil and she was so fantastic and reassured me I had made the right choice. She was so caring and understanding. She was able to process my paperwork through the VA system flawlessly. Then I spoke to Dr. Gadlin, he was so attentive to my needs and concerns (fears). He performed multiple test to determine the true status of my eye. Yup, I was a perfect candidate for cataract surgery. He explained everything from A to Z . Show me the procedures that were to take place during surgery and most important addressed my fear of surgery. His hands were so precise and delicate during surgery and truly, in a 1 to 9 scale of pain I was a zero. Wow! and over in 20 to 25 minutes. The next day I was speechless, my sight was so perfect and the colors were so vibrant and best of all no fog! If you need a good eye surgeon, hands down the best in Athens. For me, I did my homework before selecting a Doctor and all of my research pointed to Dr. Gadlin; and you know what, it was the best decision I ever made. Every one was so professional, all the way down to the great folks at Anesthesia Consultants of Athens. Thank you , thank you for I can now see normal again.

Dr Gadlin is very thorough and personable. Would highly recommend him.

Quick, professional, and friendly. Gave me great confidence and helped me understand my more confusing symptoms. Will certainly be going back if I ever have the need.

Dr. Scotty is a great doctor. I have been his patient for 5 years.I totally recommend him

Dr. gadlin was professional very nice very clear and understanding on what was going on with my eyes and made me feel very comfortable I understood what was going on and that makes me feel better now are highly recommend him to anyone who is having problems with their eyes thank you

Dr Gadlin is the best! He is professional and thorough. He listens—he explains—he cares. I would highly recommend Dr. Gadlin.

I love everything about Dr. Gadlins office. Everyone is very nice , helpful and knowledgeable.

Always positively refreshing to have a medical professional such as Dr.Scotty Gadlin providing top-drawer treatment. He is thorough, compassionate and highly skilled. He listens and responds to his patients’ satisfaction. My wife and I have recommended Dr. Gadlin to many others, and we will continue doing so. Honestly, he treats us like family.

Dr. Gadlin was very thorough and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Took time to answer all my questions.

Prompt,courteous,looking forward to a good outcome

Dr. Gadlin provides professional and excellent care to his patients! He has been my ophthalmologist for 3 years. I can see clearly after he performed cataract surgery on me over a year ago, and he has managed my glaucoma well. He never leaves an issue or any concern unresolved. He always answers questions in a manner which is never hurried. His demeanor is one of great care for all his patients! I recommend his practice to everyone. BTW: My wife loves receiving eye care from Dr. Gadlin as well. David Hancock

This is the most pleasant office visit I have ever had anywhere! Dr. Gatlin is a kind and attentive physician. His exam was very thorough; he took unhurried time to explain his findings and treatment plan. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have such wonderful ophthalmological care.

Had eye problems got in the day I called. Very professional

Dr. Gadlin, very professional, prompt, does a thorough exam, explains everything, answer your concerns and very compassionate. A great Ophthalmologist! Sybil, I just adore her because she's friendly, kind and professional. Cleo

Very professional! Procedure went perfect on my right eye. See 20/20. Going 2 weeks for left eye.

Dr Gadlin is awesome!!! He takes up time with you and never rushes you out!!! Will always be my eye Doctor! Very very Professional and love his receptionist!!

Dr. Gadlin is professional, personable, and knowledgeable. His staff is amazing! Their office is quiet and calm and you always receive the personal attention you need.

The doctor was excellent! No complaints!

Professional and prompt! I appreciate that my appointment time is not an approximation but an actual time that Dr. Gadlin sees me.

I’ve been seeing Dr Gadlin for several years. He replaced my lens because of cataracts, a few years ago, and I’ve had no problems. He is friendly and professional. I can’t imagine I’d see any other doctor.

I was seen by Dr. Gadlin in an emergency situation. I am so glad I did. My eye was severely infected and it would have gotten way worse if left untreated. The receptionist was pleasantly nice. I did not have to wait but about 10 minutes. Dr. Gadlin was very thorough and did not make me feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back!

Very pleased! Saw me right away, very thorough exam and talked to me about the problems in a way that I could understand.

The office got me in as a new patient the next day, thanks to a cancellation! The doctor was prompt, thorough, efficient, and knowledgeable. The other practices I contacted in the area did not address my concerns at all by phone, and were rude and unhelpful. The front office lady here, to the contrary, was polite, professional, and courteous both over the phone and in-person. Since moving to Athens I have been astounded by the lack of common phone courtesy and general sensibility of front office staff in medical settings. This practice would be the exception! I hope my follow up appointment goes as well as this first encounter. I highly recommend this practice!

Dr. Gadlin is very personable and friendly. He is very good at communicating and explaining what is going on with your eyes in layman terms.

Made me feel at ease explained each step of the procedure in depth and asked constantly reassured me

Dr. Gadlin explained everything concerning my eyes & the reason I needed surgery. Very professional staff, not the rush to get you in & out. Look forward to successful surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Gadlin for anyone looking for an “eye dr.”

Very professional, answering all our questions. Looking forward to a great outcome after surgery.

I was Very pleased with office staff, could not have asked for anyone to be more pleasant and helpful. Dr Gadlin was pleasant and seems very through, professional and knowledgeable. He explained to me the current condition of my eyes and explained what I could probably expect in the future concerning possible treatments. I definitely will recommend him to friends.

Individualize care. There was no rush took plenty of time With me. As my grandmother used to say he’s a very personable young man! He can be your family doctor for a long time!

Excellent experience always.

Dr Gadlin always seems to take extra effort to address my needs. I feel blessed to have him as my ophthalmologist.

Great experiance

Knowledgeable and compassionate. A perfect doctor!

I've been to a couple of different eye doctors in this area over the past few years, and Dr. Gadlin is who I'll be going back to from now on. Does a thorough exam, explains everything, answers questions patiently, talks to patients like people vs rushing them in and out. His office manager (Sybil, I think her name is?) is awesome, too--friendly and efficient!

Dr. Gadlin is an excellent ophthalmologist. He is very thorough and explains things so well. I would highly recommend him to anyone
