Patient Reviews
Apr 23, 2023
My eye was removed in Austin, TX, in 2012. I met Dr. Long in Dec. 2022, after moving to Birmingham and being told I had a red place on my sclera, underneath my prosthesis. After 20+ surgeries, I did not want another one. However, Dr. Long agreed to treat me. Soon a hole had formed requiring surgery. In March, he removed a lot of debris and hardware from many prior surgeries, including a scleral buckle which had been placed during five retinal detachments. Dr. Long seemed determined to put an end to my chronic inflammation and more than a few infections after evisceration of my eye, preserving as much movement as possible. I am grateful that he accepted me as a patient. I highly recommend Dr. Long, especially for very complex issues. I appreciate his work ethic and determination to bring this saga to a close. I have no reservations in recommending him. I have been treated by 6 other ophthalmologists in Birmingham and 4 in Austin, TX.
