VAN TEAGUE, OD REVIEWS

I just moved to Winston Salem and wanted to switch to an eye doctor closer to me. Dr. Teague was so kind and the exam was thorough and informative! Alyssa helped me pick out my glasses/purchase contacts. She was so nice! She helped me find the best deal with my insurance and we picked out the cutest frames! Everyone was pleasant and I'm so happy I found this place.

Dr. Teague has been my doctor every since he was recommended to me by great physician, Dr. Sharon Vanoy. Dr. Teague and his staff are extremely professional, as well as being so kind, friendly, and welcoming. He is very knowledgeable about optics, and does a great job explaining everything throughout the examination. I also appreciate that his staff is willing to go the extra yard if I am having problems with the frame of my glasses, and does not mind making the needed adjustments. Truly enjoy my annual visit.

I had a great experience here. The staff and doctor were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will definitely be back.

ALEX APPANAITIS, OD REVIEWS

The most thorough eye care I've ever experienced. A few years ago, I experienced what turned out to be a retinal tear, which was pretty scary. Forsyth was able to work me in quickly and Dr. Appanaitis spotted the issue, then got me to Baptist where they performed the laser repair. I've always had a good experience and all of the employees have been exceptional. Highly recommended.

This was my first visit and I highly recommend Forsyth Family Eye Care. It was a great experience from start to finish, they were very thorough and explained what was happening and why throughout the entire process. The doctor sincerely wanted to know if I had any questions or concerns. I felt heard and taken care of by a very professional team.

Forsyth Family Eye Care has been my family’s primary eye doctor since I was a child. Everyone who works there is consistently professional, kind, and helpful. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for the many years of service.
