Rena A. Stathacopoulos, MD 689 Tank Farm Road, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

"When I was 4 years old, I had surgery for strabismus and ambliyopia, followed by a second surgery. They were very successful, but I eventually needed prisms in my glasses. In 2018, I was referred to Dr. Statacopoulos to correct the strabismus (63 years later). She conducted tests and learned - to her surprise - that I was still able to fuse images, which meant I was a candidate for surgery. She performed the surgery and I no longer need prisms in my glasses. After all these years, it is such a relief!! She is the best, and I am so thankful to have been her non-pediactric patient!! She also commented that the doctor who performed my original surgeries was the best she had ever seen from that time period. I have been blessed - by both of them! Thank you!!"

"The fact that they, or rather the doctor, keeps canceling appointments we’ve had months in advance is frustrating, not to mention unprofessional and annoying. I finally said enough is enough and decided to find a doctor who actually wants to see her young patients."

"Got canceled on three times. Showed up 10 minutes late with my three children under 6 years of age and was told that they “told (me) they had told me only two people are allowed in the exam room.” When I repeated that they had not, I was told that I was now 15 minutes late and they would not see me. One star is generous. The front desk were the least accommodating ofany office I have worked with or visited."

"If you need a pediatric ophthalmologist Dr.Stathacopoulus is the person to see. Dr. Rena A. Stathacopoulos, MD was highly recommended by several specialists and clients of hers. I learned why at the very first visit. My son has a severe eye disorder, his first encounter with her was like magic. She had his attention, did the eye exam while he was in his stroller and she took a knee and used her tools. She is very thorough, implemented something new at each visit to leave surgery as absolute last resort. As visits went on, She expressed worry appropriately and expressed joy when significant improvement was shown. I say this because it showed she truly cares about her patients. My son’s eyes have shown Significant improvement and he seemed to come out of his shell now that he can see better. She is very knowledgeable and clearly an expert. I highly recommend Dr.Stathacopoulus! (The SLO Eye Associates clinic Covid Policy of mask and no extra visitors was explained with phone line operator voice message, when booking appointments, confirming appointments and was easy to understand.)"

"Incredibly rude front desk staff. We've brought our children here a few times already. Most recent visit, I walk in with my 2 kids. The receptionist asks if I've been notified of their newest policies. I answer no. She looks at my kids and says only the one child who has an appointment can come back. I replied that was fine, my 10 yr old can sit in the waiting room. NO she says, he cannot. The waiting room is for adults and my 10 yr old will have to sit out in the foyer. This is an area that opens to the parking lot! I asked her how she would feel if my kid gets abducted?! She just coldly stared at me. This is all after I had filled out the paperwork and signed their new policy of $75 fee if you don't attend your appointment. I told her we are leaving and they better not charge me for that. UNBELIEVABLE!!! We WONT be back."
