Reviews for Stone Oak Ophthalmology Center

I am so please that I was recommended to this office as well to Dr. Allison Young. The office and the personal are professional and cheerful. I have Sjögren’s Syndrome which drys everything in your body. I honestly though I was going blind and I was seeing another ophthalmologist in a huge chain operation and it seems like I was going in every three months. I honestly couldn’t see. Dr Young saw me on the first visit and explained that I had a very large cataract in my right eye and it needed to be removed. I was extremely petrified but Dr. Young has the type of additive you want every Doctor to have. It was such an easy operation for me, Dr. Young said that it was so big it took her awhile to get it out. The difference was amazing I see amazing I was so amazed how little I was seeing before. So excited to get the other eye done. The after care was just as through as the pre-op. I recommend this Ophthalmology Center and Dr. Young. Today is January 8th of 2021 and the day before this I had a very gritty feeling in my right eye when I woke up. Just thinking it was my Sjogren's I put in the eye drops and it helped but I had double vision for the day. Knowing I could call Stone Oak Ophthalmology and find out if I need to see a Dr or just find out what I could do. They wanted to get me in but I live a across town and they got me an appointment right away the next day. I saw Dr. Whitney and just like Dr. Young, she took her time took the tests (she explained each test and her reason for taking them) and ended up finding out that I had Shingles in my right eye. I was then told it was a very good thing that I came in because it could be worse the longer you wait. I trust this office and my eye health whole heartily. I have always been treated with respect, professionalism, COVID responsible and I know my appointment was done to it's fullest to help both of us to understand what is happening with my eyes. Again I was afraid my eyesight was going to be gone and I have walked in there and them out knowing everything was being done that could be done. I also got to meet another one of these wonderful Doctors. Thank you Dr. Whitney, I'm not thrilled with having Shingles but thank you for informing me that getting the Shingles Shot is not a 100% it just makes it less infectious. I maybe miserable but it could of been a lot worse with out your insisting we do the testing and your hands on care it could be worse. If you are someone who needs an Ophthalmologist this is the group to go to. More

I love Dr. Young she’s definitely a great professional and friendly! Her concerns for my eye health is a priority. The Office Staff is professional and friendly too. I would highly recommend her. More

I’m always impressed by the expertise and kindness of the doctors and staff. Stone Oak Ophthalmology has taken care of my vision for 25 years. I started with Dr Held, now see Dr Young, and have been impressed by my recent visit with Dr Waters: 3 strong, brilliant and compassionate women. More

Receptionist very professional yet demeanor was pleasant. Quiet waiting area. Doctor and medical attendants very upbeat. Enjoyable experience. More

I have been a patient of Dr Allison Young for years, and highly recommended her and the others at this office, to anyone wanting the best Eye care,in San Antonio TX 😀! More

Staff and team are caring, prompt and professional. My family have been patients for years and I can’t imagine going anywhere else for my vision / medical needs. More

Excellent customer service and, friendly staff! Office is very clean as well as examining rooms. Dr. Young is an excellent ophthalmologist! She has been my doctor for several years, has great personality and makes you feel like you are family. Dr. Young and her staff are very thorough and treat you with the utmost care. She makes sure everything is well balanced including medication that might be affecting your vision. There are two additional lady ophthalmologists in the practice to include an optical department should you wish to purchase your glasses. I highly recommend Stone Oak Ophthalmology! More

Not only is Dr. Young a gifted physician, her warmth and pleasant personality always plays a big part in our appointments. She is the best and the entire staff mirrors her professionalism and dedication to the quality of care to the patients. They are all excellent! More

Professional, caring, competent team lead by awesome Dr Young! More

Everyone was so very professional! I drove 2 1/2 hours to see Dr. Waters and it was truly worth it! Will continue to make the trip for continue such excellent eye care! More

I have 10000% confidence in Dr. Allison Young. SO thankful a friend - and a REALLY picky friend she is! - recommended Dr. Young for my cataract surgery. Now I am the one recommending her to MY friends! 😍 More

Dr. Young is the best! More

Staff is always nice and Dr Young is Awesome. More

As always, treated with the utmost of care and proficiency. Quality of patient care is at the highest possible level. Thank you! More

Dr Young has been my doctor for several years and I would not go to anyone else. She truly cares about her patients and makes you feel confident and comfortable with each visit. I highly recommend that you visit her at least once and you will be sold. More

Overall, I had a very positive experience. There was a delay in being seen but I was informed of this when I checked in. I prefer knowing ahead. Dr Young is very thorough and shares what is going on with my eyes. More

This was my first visit to the Stone Oak Ophthalmology Center where I met with Dr. Waters. Dr. Waters and her staff were very efficient, investigated the issues I came in with, and I found I won't need surgery for my cataracts for (hopefully) many years in the future. It's rare to find a doctor who looks at you and listens to you when you are explaining what is wrong. Excellent job Dr. Waters! More

I am an eighty five year old woman and I have been to many physicians over my lifetime and I have never been seen by a doctor like I have been seen by Dr. Young She is a delightful and charming physician. She is professional, sensitive and kind. Her smile lights up the room and you can tell she has a beautiful heart from just speaking to her. Dr. Young took her time with the exam; she gave me eye contact, and explained everything to me thoroughly and patiently all my questions were answered. I also had the opportunity to buy my glasses in their own optical center. My eyes were completed taken care of after my visit. More

At my initial visit in 2012, Dr Young came in and greeted me with a huge smile and bubbly personality. She told me I was perfect for LASIK since my contacts weren't doing so well with me. It took two years to get the guts to do it, but it was worth it! Dr Young and her staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. Dr Young treated me with compassion as she walked me through the LASIK procedure. Her after care was even better! She was always available to answer my crazy questions at the appointments after the LASIK procedures I am so thankful for a great doctor like Dr Young! More

She was very personable and answered all questions. More

It was reassuring I had anemia & my left eye was getting blurry. I was told by Dr. Young that my eye prescription had just changed & it had nothing to do w/ the anemia. She took the time to explain every thing to me also her staff member Leanna was very efficient when she couldn't explain a test result she had it double check w/ another staff member. More

I went to Dr. Young to have PRK laser corrective surgery on both of my eyes. I was extremely satisfied with my visit (surgery and follow-up appointments) with Dr. Young. She was very professional and extremely nice. She's an approachable doctor, making it easy to ask questions, and she made the entire surgery process comfortable and pleasant. More

Dr. Whitney is excellent, caring and very professional. Her staff is professional, helpful and caring. Dr. Whitney’s surgery provided me with a 20/20 vision and I’m very grateful for that. I highly recommend. More

Dr. Teresa Whitney performed cataract surgery on both my left and right eyes in August 2020, and she did an absolutely AWESOME job! Like many, I was terrified of the procedure, and had deferred it for many years, until I was nearly blind - OK, I was legally blind. With GREAT anxiety, I submitted myself to Dr. Whitney's care, and I emerged from the first surgery absolutely amazed at the results. I was back her table a week later for the other eye, FAR less concerned with both the procedure and the outcome. I am now 20:20 in both eyes, no longer need glasses of any kind, and have for the first in over a decade, had the eyeglass restriction removed from my driver's license! I can honestly say, I'm very sorry that I have but only two eyes, or I'd be a repeat patient. Thank you, Dr. Whitney, for restoring my eyesight!! More

I have been going to Stone Oak Ophthalmology for a few years now concerning my contacts, glasses, eye care and retinal needs, and I cannot express how amazing the entire staff is. The office space is always neat and professional; the receptionists and office staff are all immensely friendly, helpful and accommodating in person and on the phone. All of the assistants and techs are tremendously knowledgeable, patient and thorough, ready to answer any questions. Dr. Held always remembers me and my eyes. It's easy to see she really cares about her clients and their eye health. I constantly suggest this place to all of my friends and respected members of the community; all have expressed how considerate, understanding and kind everyone is here. Keep it up! Highly Recommended! 10/5 Stars ⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝ More

If you’re thinking about LASIK, I highly recommend Dr. Whitney and staff. From start to finish she was very thorough and professional. She is very knowledgeable and addresses any questions or concerns you may have. I’m so happy with my results and only wished I’d done it sooner. More

Yes I would recommend Stone Oak Ophthalmology to anyone who needs this service. Dr. Whitney is very professional and thorough with her examinations. She always listen to any concerns that I may have and would address them. I had to take a Glaucoma test and found that I had delevop this on my right eye. Medication was prescribed but found out by the pharmacy it would of cost me 400.00 plus. Dr. Whitney was able to find a medication that was at no cost to me. I thank God for doctors like Dr. Whitney who care for their patients and have a true meaning of a Doctor. More

Dr Witney is the best.!!! I have brought in many of my friends to see Dr. Whitney and will continue to recommend her. The office staff is excellent under the leadership of Veronica Saldana. The office staff are always friendly & professional More

Dr. Whitney saw my 7 year old daughter for a stye and was very thorough with the process of treating her problem. We did the entire regimen like she instructed and it started looking much better within the next two days. She checked up on her few days later to make sure everything was healing well. I highly recommend anyone with any eye issues to come see her and her wonderful staff. I had a pleasant experience from beginning to end. More

I visited Dr. Whitney for a routine check up. She was very kind and answered all the concerns I had after being examined. Dr. Whitney, shared her recommendations and made the proper calls for my case. She is the right balance of professional and friendly. This definitely helped put my mind and concerns at ease. I definitely recommend. More

Dr. Whitney is an excellent doctor. She and her staff are very efficient and professional. Dr. Whitney explained the lasik procedure and costs. Also, how often the follow up appointments would take place and called to check up on me after the procedure and week later as well. To me she conveyed a great sense of confidence. She is a wonderful human being and I would recommended her for all eye related procedures and management. More

Hands down the best decision you can make for your over all eye health and your vision. Dr. Young and her staff made me feel validated and appreciated.

Dr. Kristin Held is an excellent doctor and I have no reservation about giving her a very high recommendation. After injuring an eye, and all of the anxiety that goes with that, she put my mind at ease and put in motion the plan for full recuperation. She is thurough, has a very personable demeanor. Her staff is completely professional and on time.. Great parking. More

My husband and I have been going to Dr Held for almost 20 years. She is a great doctor. Highly recommend. More

I regard Dr. Whitney as excellent. She and her staff are very efficient and professional. Dr. Whitney explains what you need to fix your eye problems and all the costs involved. To me she conveyed a great sense of confidence. She wastes no time in scheduling your surgery. She is a wonderful human being. More

Wonderful caring doctor and staff. More

Dr. Held and her Staff is excellent team! My wife eye vision significantly decreased and could not make a sooner appointment with her eye 'regular' doctor. We called Dr. Held's office and luckily they let my wife in. After Dr. Held accurately diagnosed that my wife left eye was retina detached, Dr. Held and her staff were very kink and took the work very seriously to try to contact my wife eye's doctor so my wife could have an immediate treatment. The excellent outcome was that my wife was seen by Dr. Bell and treated on the same that day. After two weeks of the treatment, my wife eyes have been miraculously improved and she now is able come back her normal duty. Recommend Dr. Bell, Dr. Held and Staff Staff to anyone. More

I was diagnosed with Shingles at a medical clinic in the morning & because they were on the right side of my face, they strongly suggested I see an Ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Letty Cruz at the call center was awesome & got me an appointment with Dr. Rowden within 2 hours. Luckily, no issues with the eyes & follow up in a week . Overall great experience. Matthew & Claudia also very helpful. J Bryan More

Dr Young is the BEST. Her office staff is beyond nice. I have had excellent treatment from start to finish.

A great clinic! My wife and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here. They truly care about you and want to help. Dr. Held and Dr. Young are outstanding doctors! More

So thankful that I found Dr Young. After going to another doctor for the past 4 years and continuously being told that I was not ready for cataract surgery even though I was no longer able to drive , I felt that another opinion was in order so I went to see Dr Young. This was in December and by the 1st of February both of my cataracts had been removed and I could see again. She is a wonderful doctor and her office staff are excellent. I would highly recommend her , you will not be disappointed More

My husband goes to Dr. Allison Young. and suggested I see her for my bad eyesight and diminishing night driving. I knew I had cataracts, but didn't know they were as bad as I thought. I got in quickly for surgery for the first eye, and now I can see everything clearly. I see details and colors that had faded. Dr. Young also cares about her patients and her work. I felt very confident with her. Having my other eye done soon, and not a bit nervous this time. More

This is the most efficient, pleasant and skilled health care facility I have ever used! More

This practice is a really wonderful find. I saw Dr. Held for an unexpected eye injury. She was unusually patient and kind as well as effective and knowledgable. Everything you hope to find in a doctor (but frequently don't). I was able to discuss all my concerns without being rushed and feel like I got exceptional care. The staff members I interacted with were also very helpful. Highly recommend. More

The best exam I have ever had, Dr Young found a tear and got me in to have a surgery that same day. saved my sight Thank you Dr.Young. More

Dr. Held is an outstanding ophthalmologist! There is no other doctor like her in San Antonio!! She spends so much time with you and always goes beyond any other doctor I have seen. She is compassion, loyal to her oath, and is a true example of what a doctor should be. The wait time is worth it. So what that she is out of network....Most excellent doctors are!! This allows the government to stay out of medical health care. More

Really a very caring doctor. Would strongly recommend and have. More

My appointment went smoothly and as it should have. However, the office did not have me on there schedule. I booked my appointment via ZocDoc on December 28, and received multiple reminder and confirmation emails. The staff was very nice and professional. The only reason I had to wait was for the receptionist to check with others in regards to their full schedule and me having a confirmed appointment that did not show up on their end. I was in an exam room by 0815. No one missed a beat. Everyone was very nice and welcoming, especially Dr. Young. I would recommend Dr. Young highly to anyone needing her services. More
