Dr Loft & his staff are the Gold Standard, very happy I found him.

Having been very nearsighted my entire life, I was always grateful that my vision was correctable to 20/20 with glasses... and/or contact lenses. I also treasured the one part of my vision that was naturally (for me) excellent. I could read the tiniest "mice type" on any miniature bottle without any correction as long as it was within four inches from my eye. I knew I would lose this ability with cataract surgery implants. Looking back now, I realized I was more focused on what I would lose, rather than the many gains.Dr Loft was very understanding and patient with my questions and concerns. He is a really good listener. We went through the many iterations of the pros and cons of the various lens options available based on my personal situation.Because I had had a good experience with monovision in years past, Dr Loft explained that I could still go with monovision, while retaining my depth perception, by going with a reduced refraction for the reading eye. He explained that with this option, I would need reading glasses only for the very smallest font. Before deciding on this option, he allowed me to try out the monovision option with a near-vision contact lens for my reading eye. That sealed the deal!It has been nearly five months since Dr Loft performed my cataract surgeries. I could not be more pleased. My near and distance refraction was calculated perfectly. I am now able to drive at night again. My vision, near and far, is better than it has ever been. EVER. I don't understand how it is possible, but even though I'm on my smartphone and computer a lot, I have not needed to pick up reading glasses but ONE time since the surgeries!I will be ever grateful for Dr Loft's patience and skill. Many thanks to Dr Loft and his staff for a wonderful experience and outcome.read more

When I arrived for what I thought was my scheduled appointment time the staff informed me that I was thirty minutes... late but immediately gave me a choice to reschedule or return that same day to see my Doctor. I was very thankful for this opportunity because most busy doctor offices aren’t accommodating or concerned!Again thank you Eye Consultants of Atlanta staff and my longtime doctor, Evan Loft!read more

I have been a patient at this practice for many years but am a new patient to Dr. Loft. I wish I had been his patient... from the beginning. He actually listened to my issues and found that he could help me when I was told that it was not a possibility by my previous doctor. I like Dr. Loft very much and his staff is very kind and efficient. I had laser surgery this morning and was taken very good care of by the staff member who prepared me for the procedure as well as all the other personnel. I did have to wait 2.5 hours but sometimes doctors get stuck in more serious surgeries. It was worth the wait to be able to have the procedure. I’m very happy with my choice to have Dr. Loft as my eye care provider!read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Loft's for the last several years and chose him as my doctor after working at one of the... surgery centers where he operates. I've seen him interact with patients and staff as well as his peers. He is kind, compassionate, and an incredibly talented surgeon. I have referred friends to him as well as my father who just recently had both cataract surgeries with Dr. Loft. I can't say enough about how great I think he is.read more

Excellent treatment, amazing bedside manner - perfect experience! Dr. Loft did my Lasik and, while I was super anxious... about the procedure, it went so smooth I could barely believe it! Dr. Loft was so patient and took as much time as I needed to explain the procedure. He also talked to me during it to explain what he was doing which really helped ease my anxiety. He was so sweet and you can tell he genuinely cares about each of his patients and loves what he does. I can honestly say this is one of the best doctors I have ever been treated by. Excellent service through and through, not to mention the fact that I now have 20/20 vision! I will be forever grateful for Dr. Loft and his amazing team.read more

I truly can't say enough about Dr. Loft. To say the least, he goes above and beyond to give his patients the absolute... best care possible. Dr. Loft is incredibly thorough and always makes you feel like you are his number one priority. When it comes to my eyes I chose a Dr. who is a perfectionist who takes the time to explain things in layman's terms. Dr. Loft and his team are so accommodating and make you feel at ease.read more
