My experience with Regional Eye and Dr. Heath Lemley and staff was excellent. I learned that I needed cataract surgery on both eyes, and I was referred to Dr. Lemley by both family members as well as my optometrist. Dr. Lemley and staff could not have been more kind or more professional. Exam visits were thorough and pre- and post-surgery questions were answered in terms easily understood. I'm happy to say my surgeries went well and I now have excellent vision once again. I would highly recommend Dr. Lemley and Regional Eye Associates to anyone and everyone in need of cataract surgery.

I am taking time to write this the day before Thanksgiving, which is a very busy day. So that should tell you the importance I place on letting you know what I think about this eye doctor. I wish I could find an even better word than EXCELLENT, but I will have to go with that. He performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes in October 2021 and replaced my natural eyes lenses with artificial ones. The results were life-altering. I have worn glasses since age six for extremely bad vision, including bad astigmatism. I now have excellent vision in both eyes and no further need for glasses, except for reading a close range. I just use readers. Dr. Lemley performed both surgeries with great skill and speed (around nine or ten minutes per eye). They were painless. But it is not just his skill that impressed me, it was the fact that I felt he truly saw me as an individual and took a genuine interest in who I was and even my family. He addressed all my questions without impatience, which inspired great trust. Before I was wheeled into the out patient operating room he came to check on me in a personal way. even the nurses who prepped me for surgery were great and personable. I couldn't have had a better experience. My wife and I are Christians and had prayed hard about which doctor to put our trust in...and Dr. Heath Lemley was the answer to our prayers. Side note: before cataract surgery, my wife was afraid to drive with me at night, and now she sits in the passenger seat relaxed. So if you need any work done on your eyes, do yourself a favor and choose Dr. Lemley.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lemley's for several years now. He did cataract surgery on both eyes in December 2020. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone. They are so caring. In fact, after surgery, later that evening, Dr. Lemley himself calls you to check to see how you are doing. Very impressive. Not too many Doctor's will call to check on you. I wish all of my other surgeries that I've had in the past would have been this easy. Highly recommended!

I have been a patient of Dr. Lemley for quite a long time. He is thorough, kind and knowledgeable. He removed my cataracts and did surgery to relieve pressure in my eyes. He always follows up on what has been done in the past and is consistent in his care. I always recommend him to my friends. I wouldn't go anywhere else or trust anyone else with my eye health.

Due to Dr. Lemley's expertise and personal care my severe eye condition was diagnosed and treated when even eye professionals at John's Hopkins were unable to repair the damage. Thanks to him I was able to see clearly allowing me to continue working and enjoy all my normal activities again.
