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.

At my appointment I was told that glaucoma is an issue and I should come back in a year.Other issues with this office, caused me to see another othomogist, a short 3 months after my appointment with Dr. Sandberg. At the appointment at a different more qualified othomogist,I was told during that appointment that I have a rare form of glaucoma that is called angle closure glaucoma. Which is a kind of glaucoma that needs to be treated before it presents a problem as this can cause sudden blindness. And I must take care of this ASAP, also to inform my family they should watch for this rare form of glaucoma. This was not disclosed to me with Dr. Sandberg. I was not told the severity of my condition based on age and cataract size. Basically, this office let me leave as a walking time bomb and unaware that this condition can be presented as a hereditary issue and cause permanent blindness swiftly.

Watch your billing. They will double bill you and your insurance. When I arrived for a scheduled appointment I was given a paper telling me if I wanted to have refraction I had to pay as insurance wouldn’t cover. I questioned but paid. When I got my monthly statement from my insurance provider, I saw they had billed them for the same procedure thereby collecting twice. Over the past 3 months I have made numerous attempts to call but my call and messages are not returned. It is not a large amount of dollars but I feel they are deliberately taking advantage of their patients. BEWARE!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Sandberg for quite a few years, and he has treated me for various eye issues. This past summer I had surgery on my upper and lower eyelids and Dr. Sandberg was fantastic. The results well exceeded my expectations. I feel and look younger and people have noticed the change without knowing why. He is a very precise surgeon and explains everything thoroughly. I would highly recommend Dr. Joel Sandberg for your eye care health.

D.r Sandberg and the rest of his practice are extraordinary. Their patient care and their staff are the best. I have been a patient of his for over 30 years. He has always made time for me even when I did not have an appointment, I have used several Dr's in the practice and they too have the same wonderful qualities
