Hospital Beds & Infrastructure

Great service! I had a stye that became very infected, causing swelling in my face. I needed emergency surgery (referred from Medhelp on 280), where they drained the area and gave antibiotics. Everyone was super nice and helpful. The surgery was done with local anesthesia so I was in & out in under 2.5hrs on a Saturday. I didn't want to have to go but was happy for all of the help I received! I'm doing so much better after just a few days.

The staff is “off the charts” incredible! We were taken straight back to a room and the doctor came in within minutes. After she checked out my husbands eyes and determined he had corneal abrasions another doctor came in to check him out just to be sure no debris was in the eyes. Both had a great bed side manner. I feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful facility so close to home!

Wow I've visited Callahan eye hospital twice now once in 2013 and a visit today I have to say that I've been impressed with their professionalism and results everytime! I would definitely recommend if you're having vision problems and need urgent care. They will do everything in their power to make sure that you leave better than you came. Sincerely a very thankful patient 🙏🏾
