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.

Dr. Poulsen strives for excellence in every aspect of care. Very knowledgeable. Great communication skills. Very professional.

I had a really great experience. The staff was helpful, the appointments were scheduled quickly and the outcome was greater than expected! I had PRK surgery and my eyes are almost completely 20/20 vision only 2 months out (it can take up to 3 to know where my eyesight is). I am very please with Dr. Poulsen's demeaner and skills. They were very straightforward about expectations and I am thrilled with the end result!

Angels of Mercy, Especially in a Crisis
Dr Paulson has always been thorough in my eye examinations. This month, I embarked on LASIK surgery, and Dr Paulson together with Jessica were most professional throughout the entire procedure. When my right eye needed additional attention, Dr Paulson did not hesitate to examine my eye and recommend what needed to be done. Again, he addressed the situation with professionalism and care. He articulated extremely complex concepts and translated them into a vernacular that I could comprehend. My gratitude to Dr Paulson, Dr Scott, Jessica and the entire Insight Vision staff who I continue to trust with my eye sight. As a working professional who relies on her eyes every day on the job, I am thankful that there is a place right here in Fresno with expertise on which we can depend, even in a crisis.

I have been seeing Dr. Poulsen for years and recently had cataract surgery in one eye. He is the best doctor--thorough, professional, personable--I can't recommend him too highly!

I did a great deal of research before risking cataract eye surgery. Dr. Poulsen was name that kept rising to the top. He uses the Alcon LenSx Laser, which I feel gives greater accuracy and safety than a knife. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes at a distance and up close I can easily read a computer monitor without glasses. I wanted to spend money on fancy lenses but Dr. Poulsen said they weren't indicated in my case. He was right. He didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. He put my outcome ahead of his bill.

I have a condition that caused the back of both corneas to degenerate. Dr. Poulsen performed a tissue transplant on each eye and my vision has been restored. I had minimal discomfort and no complications. He is an excellent surgeon and a very nice person.

I had LASIK surgery 2 years ago with Dr. Eric Poulsen and I could not be happier! My consultation was thorough and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I have since then referred my mom and dad, my two sisters and their kids, my brother-n-law, and a handful of friends. I highly recommend Dr. Poulsen and his staff for all your eye needs.
