I have been going to Dr. Postel for around 3 years now and he has taken care of my eyes including doing surgery. He is very professional and dedicated to your well being and the best part is that he does not do any unnecessary procedures. ZM

I like Dr. Pastel & he has performed several operations on my eyes, but there is always at least an hour wait; even if your appt is at 9:00.

I was referred to Duke Eye Center through Southeastern Eye Center, Greensboro, NC due to Macular Pucker. Dr. Postel, along with a gracious intern performed my surgery. The entire process from filling out paper work to post-op follow-up was totally professional, expeditious, and successful.
