Personalized Doctor–Patient Communication

Many practices rush you through appointments, but at Carim Eye / Mid Atlantic Retina / Galiani Ophthalmology Associates, effective communication is non-negotiable. Our doctors and technicians take the time to explain each step of your care plan, answer questions, and offer reassurance. One visitor shared, “Dr. Wartluft immediately made me feel at ease. Her tech was also especially helpful and friendly.” Another highlighted, “Dr. Joshua Uhr… made me feel like I was in good hands.” This emphasis on clear, empathetic dialogue reduces anxiety, fosters trust, and ensures you leave our offices equipped with both knowledge and confidence in your treatment.

Friendly, Supportive Staff Across Every Role

From reception to post-op follow-ups, our entire staff is committed to making your visit smooth and welcoming. Patients consistently comment on the warmth and patience of our team: “Dr. DiPillo and Jean… are knowledgeable, professional and caring. EVERYONE there has been helpful and friendly.” But it’s not only our clinical personnel who shine. Daisy, our front-desk superstar, has become legendary among our patients for her empathy and composure under pressure. One grateful visitor recalled, “Daisy at the front desk… was beyond considerate and patient with this gentleman. This interaction made me smile as you rarely see customer service such as that anymore.”

Thoughtful Extras: Contact Lens Trials

Understanding that every patient’s eyes and lifestyle differ, Drs. Forni and Stone go a step further by providing complimentary contact lens samples. Testing new brands and fits at home lets you discover the lenses that suit you best—without the upfront investment. As one patient noted, “They provide free samples to try on new contact products and run an efficient business.” This extra care reflects our commitment to both your vision health and overall comfort.

Scheduling, Wait Times, and Efficiency

We recognize that your time is valuable. While many patients enjoy swift appointment scheduling—“Got the appointment quickly and resolved my problem in less than a day”—others have experienced extended wait times once in our office. We hear you: “Every time I have been to their office, it takes me anywhere from 2 to 4 HOURS to get out of there.” To address this, we continually refine our scheduling processes and staffing levels to better balance urgent and routine visits. We encourage patients to book early morning slots or sign up for text‐based reminders to minimize in-office waiting.

Transparent Billing and Insurance Support

Our reception team aims to guide you through insurance verification, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses. We understand that misunderstandings can be frustrating—some patients report feeling misled about coverage or extra fees. We apologize for any confusion you may have encountered and remain committed to transparency. Should questions arise, our office manager is always available to review your billing details and clarify coverage, ensuring a clear understanding before any procedure.
