He was wonderful - kind, funny, and he took the time to explain what we needed to know about the condition.

We anticipated that our dog would need surgery yesterday. First, we had a consultation and exam with Dr. English. He was wonderful - kind, funny, and he took the time to explain what we needed to know about the condition. We were pleased to learn that our dog's eye would likely right itself with medication! We would absolutely recommend Dr. English for any eye-related concern. He's a gem!

I walked in their door about to fall apart in fear and left with hope.

I would not hesitate to go there again and recommend them highly!

My vet sent me over to Animal Eye Care after a seed pod was found attached to my terrier's cornea. Scout was in extreme pain and would not eat or drink. Animal Eye Care had me come immediately from my vet, saw us as soon as we walked in and were very kind to my pet. The veterinarian numbed her eye, removed the seed pod and Scout immediately ate about a dozen of their offered treats. I was provided with aftercare drops and given great instructions for helping her heal. I would not hesitate to go there again and recommend them highly!

Called to book an urgent appt. they fit us in that day which was contrary to other places I called. They were very sweet and welcoming. Explained everything thoroughly. I felt very comfortable taking my dog there.

Thank goodness for Animal Eye Care, my little girl can still see.

My 7 yr old lab mix was diagnosed with glaucoma. The doctor and staff have completely explained the effects of the disorder and treatment plan. My little girl loves her visits. Clean office and appts have always been spaced so that there are not a lot of other pets waiting. Thank goodness for Animal Eye Care, my little girl can still see.

I put my trust in the staff and they make it easy to trust them.

The staff are very friendly. I was told about the office by a friend and referred by my vet. I put my trust in the staff and they make it easy to trust them. Everything is explained and my concerns were listened to. Lovely place.

Truly the best veterinarian I’ve used.

I traveled over 1400 miles from Omaha because they were supposed to be the best. I was not disappointed. Truly the best veterinarian I’ve used. If your pet has eye problems take them here first.

Love the staff and Dr. Knight is extremely informative and explains everything while she is examining the pup.

Dr. Knight has taken care of two of our cocker spaniel fosters and both have been a huge success considering the condition they came in. Love the staff and Dr. Knight is extremely informative and explains everything while she is examining the pup. Will continue to take fosters with issues to Dr. Knight and her wonderful staff!

The appointment was on time. Staff very friendly and efficient and kind.

My first ever visit today following a referral. I am still in shock lol.

The appointment was on time. Staff very friendly and efficient and kind.

Took time to explain diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

But most of all: they gave me meds on site. I'm accustomed to this being up to 20 times a pharmacy rate which always grinds my gears, but they were *incredibly* reasonably priced (it's possible they were better than pharmacy price, I have yet to check).

AND... where my pet needs to take a 1/2 or 1/4 tablet in the coming weeks... they had already precut the doses in the bottle. How amazing is that?!!!!!

Dr. English is well experienced and he is the only person I trust in regards to my fur-ball baby.

Wow!! I absolutely love Dr. English and his staff. They have treated my Ceasar for awhile and I can personally see the love that is in the air within their office. Dr. English is well experienced and he is the only person I trust in regards to my fur-ball baby. He has even treated my anxiety a couple times regarding my dog's cataracts.. loll I truly appreciate their dedication and I will continue to refer and recommend Animal Eye Care.

The entire staff here, from the front desk, to the techs and doctors are all kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and amazing!

My five year old schnoodle is almost one week out from his cataract surgery performed at AEC.  I can already notice a big difference in his vision (prior to surgery, one eye was 100% affected by cataracts, and the other 50%).  He is quickly recovering, and well on his way to a better quality of life, thanks to the staff at AEC.  Dr. Fontenelle performed his surgery, and so far he's had one follow up with Dr. Gift, with three more follow-ups to go.  The entire staff here, from the front desk, to the techs and doctors are all kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and amazing!  I was initially very anxious about the surgery process, but AEC makes it all a very easy process.  If your pet has any ophthalmologic issues, I highly recommend the doctors and staff at AEC (FYI a referral from your vet is required for an appointment).

They are really professional. Her surgery went successful and we are so happy with the result!

My 10-year-old Boston terrier had an advanced cataract in both eyes and decided to have surgery with animal eye care in Wilmington, NC. They are really professional. Her surgery went successful and we are so happy with the result! Thank you Animal eye care!

I felt the price I was charged was VERY reasonable, especially considering he is a specialist and that he travels 2-3 hours one way to see his patients here.

Dr. English did surgery on my bulldog for 2 different issues in both of her eyes. He determined in a matter of minutes the cause of her ulcers on Friday and scheduled her for surgery to correct the problems the following Tuesday. I felt the price I was charged was VERY reasonable, especially considering he is a specialist and that he travels 2-3 hours one way to see his patients here. I believe he was under 200.00 more then what my vet would charge, IF he had the equipment to do the surgery, which he didn't. So again the price was very fair. He told me what medications to use, asking what I already had, rather then just charging me for prescriptions. I highly recommend Dr English and his staff.

He went through everything I should look for and what to expect my dog's reaction to treatment would entail - basically she'll be thirsty all the time and beg for food a lot - so no change.

Saw Dr. English a couple weeks ago and he was fantastic! The drive there (I live in Durham) was longer than the visit itself - which is great because my dog was emotionally spent by the car ride so a quick visit was a blessing.

Dr. English was thorough and kind to both me and my dog. He went through everything I should look for and what to expect my dog's reaction to treatment would entail - basically she'll be thirsty all the time and beg for food a lot - so no change.

The staff was kind and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Animal Eye Care Assoc - very professional, efficient, warm and wonderful!

Dr Gift, Lauren, and the whole team were amazing. We went in knowing Mason's eye surgery results would be uncertain, but he is sooo happy because he can see again! He looks out the window like he used to, he plays again, and he is no longer hurting himself walking into things. I would highly recommend Animal Eye Care Assoc - very professional, efficient, warm and wonderful!
