Dr. Charles Alva Shaller, MD

I was new to the area and searched for an ophthalmologist (not an optometrist) as I felt I need an extensive eye exam - not just a new glasses or contact lens prescription. Upon my arrival to Dr. Shaller's office I felt completely welcomed by his staff. His technician did a very thorough job of screening for any eye problems using their state-of-the art equipment (I was quite impressed with the digital camera used to take photos of my retina, optic nerve and macula). I have a very strong family history of macular degeneration so I was very interested in seeing photos of my macula. I found Dr. Shaller to be very extensive with his examination and explained in much detail the results of his examination and what his recommendations where. He has a great personality making you feel like you were his only patient for that day. He also has a beautiful optical shop where I took my glasses prescription to be filled. Their prices are comparable to other competitors and the service given… by their optician was fantastic. I found Dr. Shaller through the Macon County News and will continue to see him yearly for my eye exams. I would highly recommend him.

I would never recommend Dr. Shaller, he did what he said would be simple cataract surgery in my left eye.. after 2 weeks of not being able to see anything except solid white, He still kept putting me off and very uncaring , he was very blasé. I finally on my own went somewhere else, thank God I did

This doctor COMPLETELY ignored the findings of my eye problem, and has a strange personality-- keep looking for another doctor as I did!!!

Dr. is very through in his examination. Quite good at explaining options and procedures. Office is helpful and staff aims to please. Good experience.
