This provider was a retinal eye specialist that I saw for the first time via referral, I was very worried about my eye problems and he definitely helped me understand all I am going through with my eye. He couldn't give me assurance that my problems could be solved, but he definitely helped me understand what was going on and helped me accept it. I was relieved/grateful.

The environment in the testing and MD areas was energetic and attentive. Didn't mind being there. Overall a very good experience. Seemed like the processes were still a bit rocky. My impression was possibly a number of new staff. In spite of this I felt confident and relaxed.

I had never seen Dr. Thanos before. I had not had an eye exam, since [date removed], and had a bit of a panic attack, when I started seeing floaters and lightening flashes. Devers called me back the same day. I told the scheduler what was going on, and had an appointment the next day. Each and every single person at Devers, from reception, to Doctor Thanos was phenomenal from the second I walked in. I didn't even wait 5 minutes to see the technicians.

I have been married to a doctor many years. I also worked several years with many radiologists and other doctors. I would say Dr. Thanos is a blessing to have in your group. He operated on my retina, he was respectful, unusual the way he explained procedure. He is a gifted, confident doctor with sincere concern for his patients.

There were more people in the waiting room than normal. The techs were managing it well. Dr Thanos seemed hurried. Not usual for him. He spent adequate time with me. This Dr. Is always gracious & educational. Today he was possibly overbooked. He is so well informed & qualified that todays experience was an anomaly.
