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 (less than one) Star
Dr O demonstrated “zero” empathy and extremely limited communication skills. He totally disregarded the patient’s wishes and condemned her to continued reliance on prescriptive lenses. There also was limited communication amongst the staff. I was setup for major disappointment after driving to appointment (thankful I wasn’t in an accident) and getting final reveal that “near vision” is what we corrected. He left with the statement “you’ll be fine, it’s what you’re used to.” Deceptive, dismissive and demeaning describe my experience. Don’t use this facility.

Dr. Oehler has been my opthamologist for over 10 years. He has performed cataract surgery on both eyes with great results. I definitely recommend him.

Dr. Oehler and his staff were great. Everyone was very nice and did not make me feel bad about waiting 10 years since my last exam. I don't require much vision correction beyond mild astigmatism and age-related presbyopia and there was ZERO pressure to buy prescription lenses. Both Dr. Oehler and the Optometrist talked through all my options and how best to use OTC readers. Dr. Oehler also worked with me to find a dry eye prescription my insurance would cover and when I needed pre-authorization he quickly followed through with the extra steps and I had my prescription in-hand less than 24 hours later.

Saw him one month ago. He found 2 tears in my left retina although I had had no symptoms. One was said to be serious and required immediate laser surgery the next week. Saw a retina specialist this morning for 2nd opinion. Miracle or miracles, the tears did not "heal" in the last month, they disappeared!!

Dr. Oehler performed cataract surgery on both my eyes. His surgical skills are excellent, and his continued care has been highly professional and caring. As a diabetic and an older person, I want nothing less than the best care for my vision. I would recommend Dr. Oehler to anyone, and he also cares for my husband's vision, who is also quite pleased with them.
