Busy practice, but very well-organized. Dr. D. is very business-like and efficient. It's great having a doctor who is so well versed and a practice that covers all aspects of eye care.

First met Dr. Darlington in Jan. as I was having trouble with seeing clearly. He explained in a very thorough and thoughtful way that I had Calcium Deposits on both eyes. Dr. Darlington explained the procedure that he would do to correct this problem and make my vision very clear. Which he did. I am very grateful to what Dr. Darlington did and to that I say thank you! In June and July Dr. Darlington removed cataracts from my eyes and I thought I was seeing clearly after my Jan. surgery but this was phenomenal! like what have I been missing all these years! Going from wearing Trifocals to wearing a pair of inexpensive reading glasses. Again, my sincere thanks and appreciation Dr. Darlington for being very thorough and giving me clearer vision. The staff at Atlantic Eye Surgery were great as well. Would I recommend Dr. Darlington to others? You bet I would! Shirley, S.

I needed an eye exam since I failed the DMV test and I had an appointment with Dr. Stout gave me a complete exam twice to make sure that I was OK and then gave me proper paperwork which was required by the DMV which I thought was ridiculous. But he accommodated me and I am to see him shortly to pick up my paperwork to go get my eye test. I have a real drivers license again he’s been great.
