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.

Almost every appointment was canceled and rescheduled. I need to arrange transportation so it was very frustrating and inconvenient!

Green eyed lady
I was concerned about the floaters in both eyes. Dr Oldenburg checked them out and reassured me that there was nothing to worry about but to come back in a month to have them rechecked. Also if I have any more issues , to make an appointment to see him right away. Very professional caring and friendly doctor

Wonderful doctor
Dr. Oldenburg did a laser procedure on one of my eyes last month. I had to use readers before the procedure. Today, I had a follow up by Dr. Oldenburg and my vision was great.

My bad experience
Everything in his office was non - functional. Oldenburg was rude and foul mouthed. It cannot get more unprofessional. He was poorly dressed and smelly.My name is Les Vogt and I am a registered professional witness.Dont waste your time with Dr Oldenburg. I have reported him to California Medical Assn, Medicare and Paso Robles Better Business Assn.
