I was very pleased with Dr. Sullivan and his staff. They were so helpful and explained everything that was happening. I was afraid of the procedure hurting but was put as much at ease as possible. I will continue to see Dr. Sullivan.

I love going to the West Memphis location for Charles Retina. There is no long wait. Dr. Sullivan makes getting shots in both eyes no so terrible.

Came in for visual field test, technician and everyone pass the reception area were professional, courteous and made you feel welcomed. The reception must have been having somewhat of a bad day! Except for that, my visit was exceptional.

Staff is super nice and accommodating.
Dr Huddleston is a super, down to earth guy (especially when he eats his Wheaties that day! Lol. Actually has a great bedside manor. Something more doctors his age should practice. In fact it should be taught in schools. Tactfulness is not gift. It's taught. Either at home or school. Should be both.
