Reviews of Retina Specialists of ID PLLC (Doctor)

Mark Paskett

Both Dr. Roberts and Dr. Earl are professional, gifted surgeons, competent, and give their all to their patients. We are lucky to have such great retina care here in Boise.

My optometrist referred me to Dr. Roberts because of a cluster of floaters that were causing problems with my eyesight. Dr. Roberts explained what the situation was, what could be done to remedy the situation, let me know the risks and answered my questions. I was scared to have the surgery. After all, it is your eyesight. The day after surgery when the eye patch came off, I was totally amazed at the result and how different things looked. No more cloudiness over my eye. Since I had floaters in both eyes, after waiting the timeframe required, I had the other eye done also. I was not nervous about this second surgery because I felt extremely confident that it would go as well as the first one, which it did. I did make a call to Dr. Roberts on a Saturday because of a concern and he got back to me in a very timely manner and let me know if I had any other concerns to get in touch with him. I feel my followup care has been great, very thorough. I would recommend Dr. Roberts to anyone with eye concerns.

New patient and as soon as I tried to check in, I was hit with "Too late for a shot" . Then I had to deal with scary Carrie. Obnoxious, rude Carrie couldn't be courteous/ polite, couldn't make eye contact. Jerking her monitor around and slamming her key board because I asked for eye contact. The doctor was nice but his offer to remove my blind eye without justification wasn't what I was looking for. Thank Gods my daughter was there because my PTSD went into over drive, pushing me into panic/ terror attack. There was 1 woman that was caring at all and I wish I had her name. I told this office where to find my history and asked them to please review them- no one even bothered. Thanks for the additional trauma. Thank Dr. Earl for providing poor care

Dr. Roberts was great, answered all of my questions, surgery went well, no complications, highly recommend him.

This was the worst experience I've ever had in a doctor's office, no hyperbole. For starters, the receptionists are absolutely DREADFUL. They're rude, at best they sound like they HATE their job, and they had to fax my referral off three times. THREE. Oh, and let's talk about the serious referral I needed, and how poorly that was handled: I have a suspected disorder that needs an immediate neurology referral and prescription to get better. In short, I'm losing my vision. The first transgression occurred when the receptionist NEVER TOLD ME TO BRING A DRIVER WHEN GETTING MY EYES DILATED. Thankfully, a family member knew better and came with me. I would have been so unsafe in my car otherwise. Day of the appointment, after dealing with more receptionists that must have tried out for a real life.production of the Wizard of Oz as a certain green lady, I saw Doctor Earl. Let me tell you about how the worst bedside manner from an ancient old man feels like: he started with the worst case scenario, without even saying, "but I'm pretty sure it's simple". By the way, some people DON'T want to immediately know that they may have MS or a surgical shunt TWO MINUTES AFTER INTRODUCING YOURSELF (barely an introduction, also). Another woman sat down and stared at me while she typed, and never introuduced herself. As I sat there in blinded, blurrym dilated vision and cried painful tears, I felt like a science experiment. I felt embarrassed and awful. When is the last time you felt that at a doctor's visit? Never, I hope, nobody deserves that. After this whole horror show, it took three times for a referral from an incompetent receptionist with a bad attitude who blamed them (see a pattern?). IF YOU WANT DECENT EYE CARE, MOVE ALONG AND FIND ANOTHER. Heed my caution, don't let someone trap you in a referral there like I was duped into. Request another, or just schedule your own.

Worst experience ever. If I could give zero stars, I would. My husband had a vision issue and was referred. The doctor was horrible and kept saying that it was caused by steroids, which my husband doesn't do, or pregnancy, which obviously he isn't. No treatment was given but we did receive a bill for over $300! Definitely go somewhere else!

Tom Storm

Top notch Doctors. Highly skilled specialists

Carlos Quintana

Worst staff? I'd say so.

I couldn't have asked for a more caring and intellectual surgeon than Dr. Roberts. He explained the operation in great detail, and did everything he could to get my surgery scheduled in a timely manner. He also spent time explaining exactly what was happening with my diabetic progression to my significant other after my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Denton Roberts. I also found most of his staff to be very friendly, empathetic, and professional. Beti and Brenda were wonderful to talk to and I found their efficiency and ability to make me feel comfortable very welcoming. They are very good at their jobs. My only complaint was with one of the receptionists. I almost switched my referral solely because of my first experience with her. Tawnya, I believe is her name, was short tempered, unprofessional, and rude over the phone. She gave me no time to talk or explain my situation, and left me feeling hurt and worried about my condition for a few days. I am hoping this was due to a bad day on her part. All of the other receptionists were wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Dr. Roberts and staff, for saving my eyesight and being so caring.

Dr. Earl is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had, and I have A LOT. I go to him for my diabetic retinopathy— I almost couldn’t see anything anymore, so he gave me injections in my eyes, in his office, while I was wide awake. I was HORRIFIED at the idea: no one likes to think about a needle in their eyeball, but Dr. Earl has been beyond amazing for almost three years now. My eye sight is doing wonderful now, so thanks, Dr. Earl!

Deb Bollinger

I had a retinal detachment and Dr. Earl did the surgery and aftercare. He was patient in answering my questions, as were the staff members. It was a trying time for me, and everyone was kind and helpful. They were able to save a lot of my sight in a pretty ratty eye. I got a lot of helpful info for the future.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Roberts. He was my last stop.. along a line of many other specialists. Most of whom just kept passing me off to someone else. Dr. Roberts took the time to not only listen to me, but review my forwarded charts. He went above and beyond to help me get to the root of my problem. He never wrote off my complaints of ailments as complaining. He listened and helped me find the problem. Because of him... I now have a diagnosis and a pathway to treatment. I can't thank him enough.

Worst, most god awful wait of my life for pictures and a shot. 2+ hours after driving from Ontario OR to see a good doctor, not worth it. Not that great. Do not go here.
