During my almost 70 years on this planet, I have never met anyone that admire more than Dr. Rampona. He is one of my heroes. The staff reflects Dr. Rampona's dedication to excellence. FIVE STARS.

I highly recommend for botox and fillers. Nice office staff and Dr's. Dr's take time to answer any of your questions. Discounts on botox often. In and out fairly quickly (unless you talk their ear off :) )

Dr. Meier was, as always, extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring. It is both refreshing and a relief to finally find an ophthalmologist who has an understanding of my particular autoimmune condition and the damaging effect it can have on my eyes and works proactively with me to avoid flare ups and their horrible effects. Thank you Dr. Meier!
Dec 14, 2014
Very happy with Dr. Meier -he is personable and relates well to me as his patient. He also explains the issues he has found with my eyes and overall eye health; how to deal with them; and how they will or won't affect me in the future. Very informative. I left the office after my first visit so much less concerned then when I arrived, armed with what sounded like a scary diagnosis from another well-known local opthmalogist. Second visit was routine, which was very calming. I highly recommend.

The staff were all nice and professional.
Dec 5, 2014
My first time at this office and loved how friendly the staff was! Meeting with Dr. Meier was very informative and I appreciated the time he took to explain everything! Most doctors I have come across seem to rush the very appointment you, as the patient, are paying for! I sincerely look forward to continuing a relationship with this eye center!

I had a positive experience during my visit. The office associate who checked me in, greeted me, was prompt and very pleasant. The associate who preped me for my eye exam, believe her name is April, was very pleasant and explained the process well. Although I am a bit disappointed that I am no longer able to see Dr. Rampona who I feel is the best in the business, Dr. Meier was thorough and I look forward to seeing him in the future.

Jul 11, 2014
Everyone has been so kind, patient and gentle. I used to be terrified of the eye doctor due to having doctors with horrible bedside manner and my eye issues. Dr. Rampona and his staff are very kind, gentle and amazing with patient teaching. I have so much hope and excitement concerning my surgery and vision. I would highly reccommend Dr. Rampona and this practice to anyone! He even got me the name of a great pediatric eye doctor for my son.

Dr. Rampona and the staff at First Colonial Eye Center are thorough, professional and considerate. I did not feel "rushed through" my exam. The pre-exam by the assistant was done well. The follow-up time with Dr. Rampona was informative and he has a wonderful "bedside manner".
Jun 21, 2014
Blessings to the entire staff. As I begin my move to Florida, I am filled with a grateful heart for all the help you have been to me over the years. Dr. Rampona is the best not only in his professional skills but in his personal contact and caring for his patients. Most sincerely, Jimi Thomas

Jun 11, 2014
I have been coming to this office for years now & I found the doctor & staff to be always friendly,helpful& attentive in all my visits.
Jun 9, 2014
I was visiting my daughter who is a patient. I had an eye issue and the weekend was looming! I did not want to go to a walk-in clinic with an eye problem. The office worked me in and my problem was solved by a caring staff. Thanks so much.
Jun 7, 2014
I had been suffering deteroiorating vision in my left eye for more than a year. My previous doctor tried but failed to diagnose the problem. My first visit to VBEC, Dr.R suspected I might have a cataract, but wanted Dr. Rampona to confirm. I came back a week later and sure enough Dr. Rampona discovered 2 cataracts. Not exactly good news, but at least I have a diagnosis and the high probability of a cure.
Jun 6, 2014
Professional and friendly staff. Dr. Meier shows great concern in keeping my eyes as healthy as possible.

Explanation of problem & options.
May 22, 2014
I went to First Colonial Eye Center with some concerns about my severe dry eye issues. Dr Avi Meier and his assistant both listened to my concerns patiently with understanding and examined my eyes carefully. We developed a plan with various steps that we can try to help me find some comfort. I am very impressed with Dr. Meier and his wealth of knowledge and feel very hopeful that he will help me with my eye issues.
May 19, 2014
Dr. Meier was friendly, humorous, knowledgeable, thorough, and honest to both me and my wife during our examinations. It was a pleasure being examined by him.
May 18, 2014
Dr. Avi is wonderful and understanding, but I am still concerned about the blood in my eye.. Four days and its still there if not more. Blurry sometimes, headache and it hurts sometimes.. I don't want to be a pain in the neck, but if this doesn't start to clear up soon, I would like to come back and have him check it again. Thanks... Helen Biel.
May 18, 2014
Got in and out in a very timely fashion. Very efficient practice.
May 17, 2014
Excellent experience. Highly recommend.
May 17, 2014
Dr. Rampona and his team are the best! I had the Supralase procedure done in June 2013, and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself!! The procedure was very quick, as was the healing time. I could see immediately after it was done, and within 2 weeks everything was just about perfect. It has been almost a year now and my vision is 20/15! Dr. Rampona does a great job following up with you afterwards and making sure everything goes well. I have also gone to First Colonial Eye Center since I moved to the Virginia Beach area in 2009, and have never had any issues. Great place, great doctors, and great staff!
May 16, 2014
Spent 90 minutes from arrival to completion of examination. Was not tested for eye glasses.

From the reception area to the eye exam technician to the attending eye doctor every thing was 5 Star.
May 4, 2014
Visit was good. Staff efficient
May 4, 2014
I like watching the Food Network programs while I wait. Dr. Meier's demeanor always puts me in a good mood. He doesn't make me feel as if I am being rushed out of the room as soon as the exam is over. He is open to questions and will always take time to clarify information.
May 1, 2014
I always look for a clean office and waiting room and I find it here. Magazines and TV are provided to hold my attention until I'm called.
May 1, 2014
Dr. Rampona is wonderful and 10 years out from having Supralase my eyesight is still 20/20. Corrective eye surgery was the best gift that I've ever given myself.
May 1, 2014
The First Colonial Eye Center is by far the best eye care centre I ever been to. The staff and Dr. Rampona are friendly and they leave no question unanswered. Professional and punctual!
Apr 28, 2014
not a good visit this time.
Apr 27, 2014
Dr.Rampona is the most professional Opthamologist that I have had the pleasure to meet. I have had many years of eye problems and he is top notch. His staff shows the same professionalism. It is a very professional practice in all areas and highly recommended.
Apr 26, 2014
I love comming to Dr. Rampona, I have tremendous respect for the man . He not only is very good in his profession he has God in his life and compassion for his patients.
Apr 25, 2014
The receptionists were polite and friendly. I was seen by a doctor that I had not seen before, Dr. Julie Rybarczyk. Dr. R. was courteous and patiently listened to what I had to say. She explained issues that I presented to her and helped me with my dry-eye condition/concerns. I requested that SHE be my doctor from now on. 5 stars!
Apr 24, 2014
Dr. Meier was open and honest after a complete exam. I am very sensitive about anything touching my eyes but Dr. Meier accomplished his exam with calming conversation and minimum touch. I had a need for some additional paperwork to be completed 2 days after my appointment. The office staff and doctors completed all required info efficiently without complaint. Thank you for everything.
Apr 19, 2014

Apr 18, 2014
I did like the attention that was provided when I was browsing the different eyeglasses. I appreciate the time and effort on helping me decide the type of eyeglasses that would fit my face.
Apr 16, 2014
I like this office and staff. They tell the truth, could have made money off of me but was straight forward as to why it was not necessary to take any further action. Very genuine and honest.
Apr 16, 2014
All staff were very professional, facility is well-organized with lots of reading materials.
Apr 13, 2014
As always I was very well taken care of. I can not thank the staff and doctors enough for their caring and professional way.
Apr 13, 2014
The front desk staff is always amazing and efficient, friendly and smiling. Lisa is always peppy and very good at her job in helping to pick out a pair of glasses that are flattering. My children see Dr. Julie and I have seen Dr. Rampona in the past. Do I want to see Dr. Meier again after being spoken to in such a manner, NO WAY. That tone of voice and air of being pretentious will turn people away and I have been a patient for many years at this practice. It would be a shame for him to ruin the reputation of this practice.
Apr 12, 2014
Had a problem with my right eye, was able to be seen right away even though I had never been to this office (just moved). Was seen on time and really liked the dr & staff.
Apr 12, 2014

Sent Dr. Rampona a letter.
Mar 28, 2014
I've been so pleased with the quality of care I've received over the last year with Dr. Rampona. He's a caring, giving and gentle person who puts 100% into his patients. His work ethic and generosity of spirit made such a difference to me with my surgeries. I had cataracts. My lens needed to be replaced. It was a scary process for me but Dr. Rampona made me feel loved and secure. He was an angel to me the morning before the surgery. His follow up with me through his staff has also made a huge difference in how I have progressed after my surgery. I now have awesome vision! I also have found a wonderful group of people who put everything into making me feel like I'm number one to them. I am a Raving Fan of First Colonial Eye Care. Thanks to everyone for all you do each and every day with each and every patient. Fondly, Cheryl Talbot

Eyeglass pricing needs to be on paper and given to the customer. Verbal pricing is too deceitful!
Mar 17, 2014
Eyeglass buyers beware No positive experience!
Mar 17, 2014
I've never been treated with such rude and demeaning service!

Mar 16, 2014
The staff is very expeditious and thorough on every visit. Dr. Rampona is extremely competent and professional in his approach to each patient. His down-to-earth interaction with the patient makes each visit informative and re-assuring.
Mar 16, 2014
Dr.Meier is great-explains everything as he does examination-listens to patients concerns-tells us what he is entering in our charts-nursing& clerical staff have always been the best possible.We don't see Dr.Rampona much,but after saving Linda's eye,he will always be very special to both of us.THANKYOU

Jan 23, 2014
Once again, Dr. Rampona of First Colonial Eye Care has delivered the best eye care in Va. Beach. After receiving a eye duct procedure, the staff's concern for my comfort, progress and recovery was demonstrated through their actions. Dr. Rampona makes every effort to minimize the patient's discomfort and clearly validates his superior dental gifts.

Jul 21, 2013
As always a 5 star operation. Your staff seems to be happy working where they are. All the people who assisted me were friendly, professional and performed their taskings with ease and percision I personnally think that this generates from the example set by Dr.Rampona himself.

I had my Supralase procedure done on Thursday, June 6. It was very quick and didn't hurt at all. I was informed of what would happen every step of the way and was given plenty of instruction beforehand for the aftercare. It is Monday now and I am feeling great! I am even back to driving today. The best thing to do through the weekend is to sleep, sleep, sleep! They don't tell you that for nothing! I have been coming to First Colonial Eye Center since approx. 2009 for my yearly checkups. My prescription kept getting worse every year (ending up at a -7 before my surgery). The doctors and staff there are all very nice and helpful. I would recommend (and have recommended) them to anyone! Very satisfied patient here! :)

May 10, 2013
When I arrived for my app. I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist who gave the Dr.'s assistant my chart. The assistant ran tests, ask questions, and had all my info ready for the Dr. Then the Dr. came in and completed his examination and answered any of my questions. All of this was completed in an appropriate time frame. When I left I felt well informed concerning my eyes and anything related. It was a very pleasant visit.

I tell everyone to go to Dr. Rampona's friendly and caring staff and office. From the minute that you enter to the minute that you leave you are surrounded by smiling faces of people who are happy to be at work and happy to be working with you as a patient. They are all so nice and understanding and very good at explaining what they are doing with both children and adults. Our family loves everybody in this practice!
Apr 19, 2013
I was a walk-in and they were able to see me right then - that afternoon. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All the paperwork was taken care of quickly and in about 20 minutes my exam began. The technician was very professional and the doctor was excellent. One of the best exams and explanations of my current eye health that I have had. Was very pleased and in about an hour was on my way with everything I needed. I even had an appointment for my next visit in a year. I'll definitiely be back.
Apr 18, 2013

Another great visit to First Colonial Eye Center. I was seen by Dr. Rampona's new partner and he was professional, caring, and provided so much information regarding my upcoming procedure. Of course, Dr. Rampona came in toward the end of the appointment and was terrific as usual. I cannot say enough about the staff. Wonderful! You leave the office feeling like you are the most important patient! A friend who also sees Dr. Rampona remarked about this feeling, as well. Please know how very special you all are to me and to so many more folks.
Apr 17, 2013
The doctor I was was very good, very thorough and explained everything so I understood all the info given. Lisa was awesome in helping me pick out glasses.

Apr 11, 2013
appreciated the friendliness and competence of the techician who administered my test.
Apr 11, 2013
It's always a pleasure having my annual eye checkup at First Colonial Eye Center. The staff is professional and does what is necessary without trying to push additional tests, procedures, or products that I have encountered at other eye centers. As a result, Dr. Rampona has been my Opthamologist for a number of years and hopefully will be for years to come.
Apr 11, 2013
Dr. Rampona has a wonderful chair side manner, but it is arduous waiting for him to appear at the chair side.

Apr 5, 2013
I had my SupraLase surgery performed back in 2006 and have been very happy with it.

Every person has been very helpful and willing to answer questions.

Mar 25, 2013
My visit with the Doctor was fine, the wait beforehand was NOT!
Mar 22, 2013
5 Stars! Everyone is extremely friendly and professional. Every step in the examination process is fully explained and justified. Your examination team, state of the art equipment, care, and genuine concern for your patients sets your practice a part at being the best at what you do. Well done!
Mar 22, 2013
I'm always totally confident about trusting your team with my eyes — pretty important to have such trust with one's eyesight — and it's a fun team!
Mar 22, 2013
Need to schedule appt.s more time appropriate

Mar 8, 2013
Everyone I dealt with was extremely pleasant and professional Dr. (I'm sorry I can't remember her name, and I even asked her to repeat it!!) could not have been more helpful nor knowledgeable! I had requested to also meet with Dr. Rampona, but I ended up feeling that this was unecessary, as she was most helpful and inspired my trust. Thank you for the excellent service!
Mar 6, 2013
The front staff is always very friendly, cordial & accomidating
Mar 6, 2013
From the moment I walked through the door, it was another very positive visit. I was seen right away by Dr. Julie R. (she is a wonderful addition to the eye center). Dr. Rampona also came in to see me. They are both working so diligently to help me with some concerns about my vision. Everyone is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. You are treated by very caring and compassionate doctors and staff. Thank you for taking such good care of my eyes!

Seen on a very short notice for a situation with my eyes that was very painful. I'm very grateful for the Dr's and all of the staff at First Col eye center.
Mar 3, 2013
Would recommend Dr. Rampona to anyone looking for the best in eye care.
Mar 1, 2013
I was at your office for more than 4 hours. Maybe it would be better to schedule more than 1 visit if there is so much to be done?
Feb 28, 2013
I was well treated and informed by everyone. It was a very positive experience.
Feb 28, 2013
From the time I walked in an spoke with the receptionist until I walked out, everything I saw was professional, and I was happy to be a patient.

Feb 17, 2013
5- friendly staff and Dr.
Feb 17, 2013
This is a good clinic. I feel the Dr. and staff are knowledgeable and make you feel welcome... again I feel that if at the end of the visit patients get a simple written report of the Dr. findings (like the one my mechanic gives us when we take our cars to be repaired) this will eliminate all the confusion that forms in our old brain as we drive away from the office.
Feb 17, 2013
When I was in the waiting room, I was impressed by how attractive it is.
Feb 17, 2013
I had to wait a little longer than one would think necessary, but the care was great and the staff was excellent

They said four to five days and I got that call in two days and my situation was fully explained and I now have a follow up appointment to go to the next step. I will need to decide on Cataract surgery and will meet with the Dictor tomorrow. Very glad to have news quickly to make this decision.

Due to a concussion I needed to have my eye pressure checked. I received an appointment right away when I called and explained the situation. I was very well taken care of by the staff and an extensive eye check up was done in both eyes. The staff went way beyond my request for an eye pressure check. They made sure that nothing was missed and I did not have to worry about my eyes.
Jan 26, 2013
VERY PROFESSIONAL VISIT,YET STILL PERSONAL. WELL DONE !
Jan 24, 2013

Dr Rabochek (I know I've butchered the spelling) was extremely accomodating to the various issues with my eyesight and the different arrangements I can have using contacts, glasses or nothing. We came up with a solution to aide in my night driving. I was very pleased with my and my son's appointment with her. I recommend offering her a full time position with the practice. All of the staff have always been very nice and helpful.
Jan 11, 2013
We were seen by the new Doctor. She was very patient and thourough with our examinations. She took the time to make sure we were comfortable and not impatient to get the exam over. She would be a great permanent addition to the practice.
Jan 11, 2013
I was taken for visit at the exact time of my appointment and the entire staff was thorough and friendly.
Jan 10, 2013
My husband and I were able to go in the examination rooms together which really speeds up the process and gave us more in"sight" on each others needs for perfect vision. Thanks for all your help. 5 stars
Jan 10, 2013
First Colonial Eye is the absolute best from the greatest Dr. Rampona to the greatest caring staff. What a team! We both trust our eyes to the care of Dr. Rampona.

Dec 19, 2012
I was glad to finally hear that I could have some adjustment to my eye tear ducts if my drops did not help to clear my vision. I have ask several other colleagus of Dr.Ramponas to plug the upper ducts put they were relutant. I feel that it would be highly beneficial for my eyes to have the ducts plugged and I have heard from several other friends that had eye laser surgery comment that they had really great vision after having both upper and lower ducts plugged up. I have had blurry vision in my right the entire time that I tried numerous drops.
Dec 19, 2012
If you have to go for an eye appointment, this is the best place. Staff is prompt, friendly and efficient and the doctor is wonderful.
Dec 19, 2012
I love it and will recommend to others.
Dec 16, 2012
Your theme song should be: " I Can See Clearly Now!" It has been 5+ years since my Superlase and I still see with 20/20 accuracy and read without assistance. Not bad for a guy getting ready to collect Social Security!
Dec 15, 2012
Good visit, questions answered and very polite and helpful.
Dec 15, 2012
The visit could not have been any better. Thank You so very much. Mable W. Knight...

Dec 7, 2012
Be seeing Dr.Rampona for about 10 years now and enoy see him each time great Doctor.
Dec 6, 2012
Never in my life had I ever had 20/20 vision..... until I met Dr. Rampona. Corrective eye surgery at age one(1) for weak eye muscles, and "coke bottles" for glasses after that. At age 44, I was a "Plus 7" in eye doctor terminology. Dr. Rampona corrected me to 20/15 in one eye and 20/20 in the other. Although very modest and humble, Dr. Douglas Rampona truly is MY hero! And I will tell ANYBODY that!!!
Dec 6, 2012
Other than having to wait longer than usual, it was a typical superb visit
Dec 5, 2012
Nice to be able to actually meet with the doctor. Everyone listened to and answered my questions/concerns. Liked the fact that there was no pressure to have anything done and that I never felt rushed as if someone had to get to another patient. Also, by getting me in without sitting in a waiting room was very considerate of my time.
Dec 5, 2012
Everyone is always pleasant.Nice to come to a happy office.
Dec 4, 2012
I love Dr. Rampona and staff. Everyone is genuinely nice. I was in and out of my appointment right on time!

Ever since i've been going to First Colonial Eye Care, they've been professional, friendly, and a joy to be around. It makes a trip to the eye doctor something to look forward to.
Dec 2, 2012
Always please with Dr. Rampona and his opthomological team.
Nov 29, 2012
It's always a friendly atmosphere and would recommend the services for anyone looking for laser service.
Nov 25, 2012
My first visit in June,2012 was very proffessional and,courteous and impressionable.I was never in doubt that my next appointment would be the same.
Nov 24, 2012
Absolutely best eye care team out there. Only place I would recommend.
Nov 23, 2012
It was another great visit. Thank you, Dr. Rampona and your staff, for truly showing how much you care about your patients. It is such a blessing to be able to see more clearly now!!! Linda Robinson
Nov 22, 2012
My visit was excellent and professional.
Nov 21, 2012
I received a thorough exam and was given a clean bill of health on my post operative supralase eye surgery, back in 2008. Couldn't be more pleased!!
Nov 20, 2012
Dr Rampona and staff are always polite, professional, friendly and encouraging. I thank God for their knowledge and skills.
Nov 18, 2012
I have two eye diseases. Dr Rampona has caringly watched over me for almost 10 years. One of my diseases has not progressed. He has performed glaucoma surgery, cataract surgery on both eyes, and lasek on one eye. I know that he will continue to take good care of me. If/when my disease worsens, I will be in the best of hands. He is a kind, compassionate person, placing the well being of his patients first.
Nov 16, 2012
I HAVE A GOOD POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WHILE VISITING YOUR OFFICE.
Nov 15, 2012
Dr. Rampona and his team went beyond my expectations. I was completely satisfied. They made me feel at ease during the whole process of my surgery. I feel like Dr. Rampona cares about me personally. I have never felt this confident about a doctor before. I wouldn't reccomend anyone other than him, or some one from the First COlonial Eye Care team:)
Nov 13, 2012
The doctor was very friendly and a good listener. The rating is a 5.
Nov 13, 2012
Everyone is bright, smiling, and friendly! They do a great job of explaining what is happening and what they are doing during the exams. It would have been a 5-star experience if I had been seen closer to the appointment time.
Nov 13, 2012
Everyone was very nice to myself and my 6 year old son. I have never been to an optometrist before and was not aware of the procedure. I was not given a prescription for eye glasses, nor was I informed that I could purchase glasses from some place else. After the exam I was asked to pick out frames and was given prices that in my opinion were very high with no other options. I left the clinic very frustrated and called my insurance company, they informed me that I should have received a prescription. When I returned to the clinic to get my prescription, I asked why I wasn't given one, or told that I could get glasses somewhere else the reply I was given was "well we didn't tell you becuause we want you to buy glasses from us." I still had my insurance company on the phone when this was said to me, he heard her and was shocked. I did get my prescription and ordered glasses for a quarter of the price with all the same features and warranties.
Nov 13, 2012
The staff is very friendly and Dr. Rampona is so sweet and knowledgeable! I always feel welcome when I go in for visits.
Nov 13, 2012
Never have had any problems
Nov 13, 2012

Great professional service at Beach Eye Care.
Oct 24, 2012
The staff was even nicer and more courteous than a couple of years ago when I was there, and most certainly was kinder and more thourogh than the office I went to in CA. I'll see you again in a year! Thanks, I'd say five stars for certain!
Oct 18, 2012
Dr. Rampona is a caring doctor who treats his patients and staff with curtesy. He is a caring professional and I am happy that he is my eye doctor!!
Oct 18, 2012
My experience has been so great people at work ask me about their own procedure. I'm not an expert but I trust Dr. Rampona and his team enough to know to refer them to him for truth about their own eyes. I've never been more pleased with a Dr.
Oct 18, 2012
Dr Rampona and staff outstanding as always...
Oct 16, 2012

Oct 3, 2012
Dr Rampona prayed over me and my eyes
Oct 2, 2012
My recent visit with Dr. Rampona and his staff was excellent. Everyone was professional, efficient and helpful.
Sep 30, 2012
Dr. Rampona has spent most of his life dedicated to the care of people's vision. What impresses me the most about him would be his annual missions to under served countries to help fix the eyesight of some who have not been able to see for years. This kind act shows his dedication to the medicine, and not just the dollar. Thanks for the Supralase, life's been amazing without glasses for the past couple of years.
Sep 30, 2012
Ask for Johanna if getting Botox. She personalizesBotox to each patient.
Sep 29, 2012

On time, on subject (my concerns), great folks, out on time — all extremely positive.
Sep 21, 2012
You have a gem in the staff member who took me back to the room. She checked in with me several times to let me know what was happening and why there was a delay, and was so very pleasant. Unfortunately, I cannot remember her name!
Sep 18, 2012
I like how everyone is very friendly and pleasant.
Sep 16, 2012
12 yrs of care with Dr. Rampona
Sep 16, 2012
Dr. Sullivan is a superb asset to your team. She is thorough and takes the time to explain things. She is apologetic for any wait times (although brief) and is just a pleasure to have as our doctor. Please keep her!!!
Sep 11, 2012
I think DR. Rampona is the best eye Doctor I have ever seen ( I am 72 years old ) .
Sep 7, 2012
Excellent, professional service.
Sep 6, 2012
The visit was definitely a "5". The exam was conducted on time and was very expeditious of my time. Dr. Rampona is certainly a top notch ophthalmologist; it's very re-assuring to be examined by him.
Sep 3, 2012
I was promptly greeted by both receptionists/nurses when I arrived. MOST staff members that came into the waiting areas spoke and/or acknowledged my presence with a smile. The nurse/technician taking me back was friendly. I really like my new doctor, Dr. Sullivan. She was patient and listened to my questions and concerns.
Sep 1, 2012
great team ...people were very helpful.

Aug 30, 2012
The care staff was very caring and knowledgable.
Aug 30, 2012
My daughter had eyes dilated for an extremely short examination by someone who couldn't remember where her tools were- poor impression.
Aug 29, 2012
In regards to Dr. Rampona, you would never find such a doctor of compassion as you would in Dr. Rampona. He treats you with the utmost kindness and expertise. His staff is friendly and caring. There are times when I've had to wait beyond my appointments but everyone was so apologetic and that means a lot. I would highly recommend Dr. Rampona and staff. I give them a 5 Star with no problem whatsoever.
Aug 24, 2012
Pleasant (and quiet) office atmosphere with minimal wait and superior staff at every point. No weak links. Notably well educated/well credentialed opthamologist with exceptional chairside manner. No rushing, even though they had to squeeze me into the schedule. This was a non-surgical visit (full eye exam to rule out injury); but I would strongly consider this surgeon (highly personable, humble, creative brainiac) if eye surgery were indicated.
Aug 24, 2012
they treat you great there
Aug 20, 2012
Everyone is very polite. I needed new eye glass frames and the girl helping was great, they have a huge assortment of frames.
Aug 20, 2012
It was nice being informed that the dr. Was running late. 5 stars.
Aug 19, 2012
If no one in the office tells you, be advised you should wear sun glasses if driving until the drops wear off.
Aug 19, 2012
The First Colonial Eye center staff is awesome.They are very attentive! I would rate them a 5+ sincerely Christine Saccone

Aug 12, 2012
Everyone was outstanding in every area! I felt that my needs were met beyond what I could imagine. I am 72 yrs. old & did not expect to have 20/20 vision again . . . and now it's happened. I'm over the moon!
Aug 11, 2012
Professional, individually oriented and superbly courteous with excellent medical treatment and advanced technological standards to resolve any optical concerns!
Aug 10, 2012
Overall I have had great experiences with my appointments with Dr. Rampona. Best money I ever spent on myself was my eye corrective surgeries.

Aug 1, 2012
I really liked Dr. Fox. He was very professional and knowledgable. The extra $50 cost to order contact lenses quite spikes up the cost of the lenses.
Jul 30, 2012
4 stars...the new Dr. Sullivan is very nice and thorough. She takes the time to explain your exam. I felt like she took the time to read my previous info. and could answer questions I had.
Jul 29, 2012
Great Doctor and Staff, very patient in my medical discussion.
Jul 27, 2012
Everyone was very upbeat, professional and likeable. I have always enjoyed my visits to First Colonial Eye Center.

Jul 20, 2012
I am a patient of many years and never been disappointed in my care.
Jul 20, 2012
all my visits have been professional, on time, pleasent and informative.
Jul 20, 2012
Just had my 3 month check up from getting my eyes fixed. Who knew I'd love it this much?!! The only downside to this adventure is my time to visit the staff is getting further and further apart as I heal. I wish all my doctor's had a team like First Colonial Eye Center...Could I get away with making them my PCP?! Thanks for such a great experience that just keep getting better.
Jul 20, 2012
Office visits are always very professional and precise. The doctor and staff answer any questions that I might have.
Jul 19, 2012
All personnel are very nice, friendly, informative, nice enviroment.
Jul 18, 2012
Very professional attitudes.
Jul 18, 2012
The staff is super friendly and caring. Love Dr. Rampona. The office did not have the Maui Jim sunglasses I was interested in, so they told me they would order them for me to look at to decide of I wanted to purchase.
Jul 14, 2012
I've been seen promptly, treated cordially with excellent professionalism and excellent outcomes. They get my eye treatment business and I refer my friends.
Jul 11, 2012
First Colonial Eye Center is, in my opinion, the best at Virginia Beach. Dr. Rampona cares about his patients and it shows in his friendly and respectful attitude. His professionalism and knowledge is outstanding.
Jul 10, 2012
Highly recomend your practice. 5+
Jul 8, 2012
Prompt attention. Friendly staff.

I have always had a positive, professional yet warm, comforting and inviting experience at Dr. Rampona's office. The best! Thanks everyone!
Jul 4, 2012
Dr. Rampona and the nurses are wonderful.
Jul 2, 2012
Very friendly staff from the front desk to the eye doctor! Dr Rampona was very thorough, but I did have to ask him to explain a few things in layman's terms for me, but he did it right away and then I understood everything. I definitely had a positive experience!
Jul 2, 2012
I always feel confident and comfortable when visiting, and the staff is professional and polite.
Jul 1, 2012

Jun 29, 2012
The staff was very friendly and professional.
Jun 28, 2012
I have always been greeted and treated in a professional and pleasant manner during my appointments. This visit I learned I must undergo an eye procedure. Dr. Ramona took the time to explain the details of the procedure and answered all my questions. The scheduling nurse then talked to me and took care of all the details, allowing me to depart the office with all the information I needed and the date, time, and place booked. Tremendous service!
Jun 23, 2012
3 overall due to waiting, but 5 for knowledge of Dr. Fox

Jun 20, 2012
Dr. Rampona and his staff are always friendly, polite and professional. I do not mind waiting a few minutes past my appointment time for the kind of treatment and experience I get when I go there!
Jun 20, 2012
I have been going to Dr. Rampona since we moved to Virginia Beach in 2001 I am completely satisfied with all issues, as is my husband. Getting cataracts out was scary, but I was put at ease with care and results.
Jun 20, 2012
Absolutely 5 stars, professionalism could not be exceeded.
Jun 18, 2012
Dr. Rampona is excellent. I recommend supralase to anyone who is tired of wearing contacts and glasses. It's so worth it!
Jun 17, 2012
5 stars. Professional, yet friendly. Highly reccomend
Jun 17, 2012
My first visit was an emergency. I was told to come in immediately and I got to see Dr. Rampona as I had requested. Everyone was wonderful.
Jun 15, 2012
The Colonial Eye team is great! They are very attentive to your needs and they take very good care of you. I don't think there is a better vision specialist around.
Jun 15, 2012
The staff go beyond the call of duty to make the patient comfortable and to answer questions. The professionalism exhibited is awsome. I can't wait till my next visit.
Jun 14, 2012
Apperciate the professional manner of everyone in the office.

Jun 14, 2012
This was my last visit for another year after an awesome Lasik experience last year!
Jun 7, 2012
Five stars for sure! My need to come in was one of a minor emergency, and I was scheduled to come in very quickly. Further, I was referred to another doctor, and received an appointment three hours from the time it was requested by Dr. Rampona. The overall experience was perfect!
Jun 7, 2012
Everything went fine no complaints I would give the visit a 5 star rating.
Jun 6, 2012
5 stars...needed an emergency appointment and you fit me in with no waiting.........Thank you
Jun 6, 2012
My visit was very nice. The staff, starting with the receptionist were all very polite, helpful and cheerful. I did not have to wait at all, and I walked out very happy knowing I have purchased some nice glasses and contacts.

Jun 2, 2012
My husband and I drive from Newport News to VA Beach to see Dr. Rampona and his staff becuase of the doctor's unparalleled expertise and the staff's excellent care. I had Supralase 6 years ago to correct severe myopia and astigmatism, and my vision has been perfect ever since! This method was preferable to me because there was no flap to be cut, and it did not compromise the health and integrity of my cornea. My brother and my friends have had the flap surgery with mixed results, so I did my research before selecting a doctor. Dr. Rampona is the best around! I highly recommend First Colonial.
Jun 2, 2012
The staff were very timely and professional. Nice talking with Dr. Rampona.

I had a very good experience with my last visit. I didn't have to wait and everyone I came in contact with was professional. My husband had an appt. the same day in the morning and had to wait. I didn't understand this.
Apr 13, 2012
Postive experience was the young African American lady at the reception desk. Very friendly, knowledgeable. She actually helped me and my twice dilated eyes out of the office appropriately. She was the only one who offered me sunglasses. I was very disappointed and contemplated demanding a second eye exam from Dr. Rampona but concerned that my insurance won't cover it. We have always had good care with Dr. Rampona. Glasses are a bit too pricey, but his care is great. WHAT HAPPENED this time?
Apr 12, 2012
Was very pleased. Would certainly recommend to anyone else.
Apr 12, 2012

THE MOST COURTEOUS AND PERSONABLE STAFF AND DOCTOR I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO KNOW
Mar 27, 2012
I was exceedingly pleased with my visit and the results of the procedure. The initial recovery period (<48 HOURS)involved minimal pain and lots and lots of sleep. The follow-up exams were brief, professional, informative and productive. I especially liked the fact that each person on the staff knew me by name from the very first visit. It takes people who really care to commit all patient names to memory so they can feel welcome and loved every time they come in.

I was born EXTREMELY far sighted! At 44 years of age, I went to see Dr. Rampona and I was classified as a "Plus 7". Five years AFTER my eye surgery, I brought my Mom in to personally meet Dr. Rampona. He made her cry! But, ONLY because she was so overwhelmingly happy, because Dr. Rampona was able to give me PERFECT VISION in both eyes! My eyes were corrected to 20/15 in my left and 20/20 in my right. I will CONTINUE to refer every person I know and meet with impaired vision directly to Dr. Rampona at First Colonial Eye Center!!!!! Thank You, Dr. Rampona. And, also, Thank You to Miss Joy Ryan. Your smile, pleasantness, and professionalism is ALWAYS a.....'Joy'!

I had looked into eye surygery before but did not like the idea of lasik since its cuts, when I learned about supralase I knew I had to try it. Dr Rampona and his staff were all beyond my expetations and the procedure was simply, quick and pretty painless. The only part that's are to deal with is the fact your vision is blurry for a few days which is more inconviencing, but results are wonderful. I would say my vision is better than when I had to wear contacts !!!

Dr. Rampona is a true professional eye doctor. Great personality and bedside manner. His team is also excellent. He successfully performed cataract surgery on both eyes and superlase surgery on my right eye. I told him my original goal was to finally be glasses free and he made sure that he met my expectations. The entire process was was easy from making appointments, to doing eye drops, answering questions, and mking sure that I was pleased and happy with the outcome. He also performed superlase on my daughter's eyes and she was so pleased she made sure that I went to him for my surgery as she knew I was a chicken when it came to fooling with my eyes.

I have started scheduling my appts for immediately after lunch in hopes that would help. My appt was at 1pm and I wasn't taken into a room until 1:25. The technician was finished with me by 1:35 and I waited until 1:55 before I finally walked out of the room to find out if the Dr. was coming. Last year I had the Retina Image done and this year is was lost. I had the office retake the image at no charge. I often feel like the doctor's are in a hurry and don't have much time for questions or explaining things and I have noticed there is a VERY high turnover rate. I have not seen the same doctor two years in a row for at least 5 years now. I am seriously considering changing doctors at this point.

You were the most professional, on-time, friendly medical office that I have ever been to. Finally a place that treats it's patients with respect and friendliness and concern. Dr. Rampona and his assistants are the best and I've never said that about any doctor. Thank you, I appreciate it.

The front desk staff is friendly and efficient, the wait time was barely long enough for me to fill out the paperwork, so that was perfect. The technician was friendly, efficient and informative and Dr. Rampona gave me some excellent feedback and recommendations on eye care.

I cant thank the Drs and staff enough for seeing me w/o insurance. I am so grateful.

I think your practice is one of the best. I seldom have to wait. The waiting area is neat, bright and orderly with lots of magazines to read.

The fact that you conduct surveys is an indication of your concern for achieving patient satisfaction.

I am always taken care of quickly and professionally AND even more importantly, I feel like I'm really cared about! Dr. Rampona and his staff treat me like I'm a friend, not just a client.

after Dr Rampona did surgery on my eyes for presbyopia, my vision became 20/15. that was 10 yrs ago and I can still read everything from newsprint to road signs! so thankful.

Dr Rampona treats you in a very friendly manner. He listens to you and answers your questions in plain english.

The service is exception. We had previously taken our daughter to a pediatric optamologist. I recommend this organization to anyone that have school age children.

Dr. Rampona operates a top notch practice that is professional in every respect. His personal examinations are conducted in a thorough and unhurried manner while his friendly demeanor places the patient in a very relaxed frame of mind.

About a year and a half ago, Dr R. said he saw a light cataract forming and said it will be a long time and in the distant future and it was nothing to be concerned about. However, during the last exam, he basically talked to his assistant re cataracts but said nothing to me and then he was gone. Usually, Dr. R. tells me the condition of my eyes regarding dryness, but on this appt, my last one with him, he said nothing. Prior to this last appt with Dr. Rampono, I would give everything about Dr. R and your office a 5 star rating. Then the eye test I had 2 days ago has left me uninformed and I feel uneasy about this. Everyone I know who has cataract surgery sees worse than they did before the surgery. And since going to Dr. Neatrour up until 2001 and after 3 lasik surgeries...which i found out later he should not have done because i was 3000plus over 20. Dr. R said he ruined my eyes and i agree. During the eye test a few days ago, another girl came in and told the girl who was doing the test not to leave the laser light so long on my eyes. I got the feeling she was being trained and it made me wonder if that light damaged my eyes. Since that test, my eyes are about 60% more light sensitive and extremely uncomfortable. I have taken exra lutein, bilberry, zeaanathin, asataxthin, fish oil, & cod liver oil and am drinking a lot more water and my eyes still hurt and lights are painfully bright.

The staff and doctors at First Colonial Eye Center are courteous and professional. I appreciate the fact that Dr. Fox listens to my concerns and answers my questions in a pleasant, reassuring manner.
Aug 24, 2011
I called over the week-end expecting to get an answering machine. Instead I spoke to a very pleasant and professional young lady who listen to me about my vision concerns. She immediately got my name and phone number and told me that the doctor on duty would call me back ASAP. In less than 30 minutes my doctor, DR. Rampona, called me back and set an appointment for me first thing Monday morning. AWESOME SERVICE. C. Mills

Outstanding! I've been using 1st Colonial since Lasik surgery in August 2006 and have nothing but compliments. I will continue to use 1st Colonial for eye care services.

There is no better than Dr. Rampona.
Aug 20, 2011

I LOVE FIRST COLONIAL EYE CENTER and Dr. Rampona is the best and has an awesome bed side manner...not to mention he always smells great to boot LOL ;o)

I drive out of my way to come to First Colonial Eye Care. The staff is friendly and the eye exam is complete. I know that my health needs are important to Dr. Rampona.
Aug 18, 2011
On two occasions I have not been satisfied with my experiences. The person who helped me pick out frames the first time I used you was wonderful despite having been up all night with asthma attack. The two others seem put off by their duties.
Aug 17, 2011
I walked in a little before my appt time to allow time to fill out forms. I was a little worried because upon my arrival, there were a number of people there already. I was very happy to know that those people were not placed ahead of me.
Aug 17, 2011
i'm not giving any stars because i had to wait outside in 90 degree weather befor letting us in ,then i waited another 45 min in the room before seeing the doctor
Aug 13, 2011
The staff is warm, friendly, professional and upbeat! They are there to help you!
Aug 13, 2011
Other than a longer than usual wait, Dr. Rampona and his staff were friendly, helpful, informative and professional. Dr. Rampona listens with a sensitive ear understanding my concerns. I highly recommend this practice.

Except for having to fill out the paperwork that is customary for a first-time visit, my visit to First Colonial Eye Center was first rate. Got good, effective treatment for a minor condition.

Everything went well as usual - I would recommend First Colonial Eye Center.

You all did an excellent job.

Both times I've been there has been a really long wait time. Waiting in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor. When I went to fill my contacts perscription last time the Sams Club person filling my perscription had to call First Colonial Eye Center because the perscription was impossible to fill (wrong numbers). Friendly staff. Not sure if I will continue seeking care from this office.
Jul 30, 2011
I appreciate the care and concern shown to me by the doctors and staff.
Jul 30, 2011
Dr.Fox was very personable,and easy to talk to,and each staff member was friendly, which made for a relaxed eye check up.
Jul 26, 2011
They were very helpful, and very encouraging. Looking forward to working with them.
Jul 25, 2011
First Colonial Eye Center gives a first-rate examination, but their extra charges pile up and make me want to find some other opthamologist.

It was a pleasant experience.
Jul 16, 2011
Thorough and knowledgeable
Jul 14, 2011
The office makes you feel as though they care about you as a person, and not just one more patient.
Jul 13, 2011
Waiting area was very pleasant. Not a long wait to see Dr. Rampona when in the exam room. Did not feel rushed through visit.
Jul 12, 2011
The front office staff needs improvement with their client skills, especially if it the first visit. However, Doctor was very good.
Jul 11, 2011
Nothing but the best for me!
Jul 10, 2011
My insurance doesn't even cover this office and I just have to go there! I was referred to first colonial eye center and that was the best referral ever! I'm saving up for LASIK now!
Jul 10, 2011
be using First Colonial Eye Center for over 5 years
Jul 10, 2011
First Colonial Eye Center is really up to date in the latest eyecare. All the Dr's and personnel there are effecient and courteous. My husband had cataracts removed, and new lenses put in. The following day his vision was near perfect. If you need to, they will help you set up a payment plan. I would strongly reccomend them to anyone, regardless of age.

service was fast and careful. everyone has desire do a good job.

Friendly and responsive. Dr. Fox was patient, meticulous and actually solicited questions! I had called this office 2 years ago and nobody called back, it was on a whim that I called back and feel fortunate that I did.
