Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Zero People Skills- in a hurry
He has excellent skills but zero people skills. Always in a hurry. Last visit - he was rude and disrespectful with little empathy for what the patient was going thru. .

I saw Dr.Pau for the first time. I am not happy with him. I had been seeing Dr. Fabrizio who is no longer there. I had the visual test and he never mentioned how it went. He seemed to be in a hurry. He was not personable at all. He only checked pressure in my eye.

I have been going to Atlanta Eye Cosultants since 2016 (my first eye doctor passed away unexspectantly)....today was the first time that Dr.Pau spoke to me as a person, with kindness in his voice. Thank you for working on your bedside manners.

I loved my visit with Dr. Pau because he was very professional! He thoroughly explained my condition of being in the early stages of Glaucoma! Also, the administration staff and the physician assistants were all very friendly! I will definitely recommend my family and friends to Dr. Pau!

Dr Pau is always patient and thorough when treating my 87 yr old mother with glaucoma. Her previous doctor was cold and rude and Dr Pau was 180 degrees different! Love, love Dr Pau!

I would recommend Dr. Pau to my friends, family or strangers. He has done glaucoma implant surgery on one of my eyes and also laser surgery on the other eye. So far so good. He is very comfortable to be around. He explains things very well. He listens to your concerns. All his staff is awesome and very nice. I am so thankful for Dr. Pau for saving my sight.

Dr. Pau's bediside manner is non-existent. He is not particularly interested in his patients, their questions, or their concerns. He is an expert in glaucoma, and that's pretty much all he wants to talk about. His interest is in showing his patients how smart he is, rather than responding to their particular questions and concerns. He is rigid, cold, and non-responsive in his interactions. I've now seen him twice - but never again!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Pau. He is a skilled surgeon and my cataract surgery went very smoothly. To be able to see again after having blocked vision is like having my life back again. His bedside manner is very polite and he took time to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I di not recommend this doctor at all, I went to see him, for a referral of my primary Doctor, to see if I do not have shingles in my right eye. I did not have shingles in the eye, but he started to, say that I have glaucoma, after a second appoiment it was not glaucoma, 3rd appoiment, that that I have cataract in my left eye, and have to have a surgery, in an eye that was a lazy eye. After all he ruined my eye !! I do not see now even wearing glasses !!
