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.

Excellent, Caring Care
I've been going to Dr. Springer ten-plus years. Never any surgery, but I always feel that I am receiving excellent care. REGARDING THE LONG WAITS SOMETIMES: Yes, they have happened to me, but they have been due to circumstances such as one doc. out that day, or an emergency earlier that day. But I take consolation in the fact that when it's my turn I know that Dr. Springer will always take as much time as necessary to properly care for me.

I had two cataract removal surgeries in Oct and Nov. This doctor is the best. I had zero problems with surgery and follow up. I highly recommend him because he knows what he is doing and has a great bed side manner with patients.

Don't expect to be seen in a timely manner. Exam time took over 2 hours of waiting for 30 minutes of staff interaction. 10 minutes with the sctual doctor.

I was referred to Dr. Springer by my optometrist for a cataract consultation. My experience during the visit was wonderful, the staff was helpful, and Dr. Springer is amazing ! He told me I needed to have cataract removal surgery on both eyes. He explained the procedure to me, answered all my questions fully at the first appointment. When it came to the day of surgery, I couldn't ask for a better doctor. He put me at ease before the surgery began, and all went smoothly. Thank you Dr. Springer

He is very thorough and caring. I have been his patient for more than 15 years and wouldn't think of another opthaologist. Many years ago I worked for a large company who sold ophthalmic equipment (in fact my boss brought contact lens into the U.S.) plus we had a large office in downtown Chicago and cared for many patients. Dr. Springer is the greatest and with my background no one compares to dr. Springer.

He ruined mother's eye. She had to have corrective surgery to his mistake! The correction surgeon said Springer's work was the the worst He's seen.

You only get one chance when you're dealing with a surgery. Dr. Springer was thorough,knowledgeable, and his bedside manner leaves me as a patient confident in his extraordinary skills. He relies upon the expertise of a scalpel rather than a laser. I knew exactly in detail what would be happening from the start and after my recovery.
