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.

My experience was easier than I expected. I was cared for by every person I encountered and was kept extremely comfortable.

Excellent Experience
From the beginning, Dr. Schwiesow was thorough in his explanations of what my surgeries would require and what options were available. He answered any and all questions I had with respect and clarity. I found him personable and I did not feel rushed during the initial evaluation appointment. He checked in with me prior to each surgery and asked if I had any questions. A BIG THANK YOU to ALL receptionists, office, financial, insurance managers, and RN'S at both Tower Clock Eye and Surgical Centers in Green Bay! I found ALL to be completely knowledgeable, genuinely kind, helpful and thorough.

Dr. Schwiesow is an excellent surgeon
The procedure I had was “Cataract Sx with iStent, LENSX w/TORIC LENS, iStent” on my right eye. Dr. Kurt Schwiesow was friendly, professional and the surgery went perfectly. Eight hours after my surgery, I could read the clock on the microwave while sitting at my Kitchen island; this is something I haven’t been able to do for over a year. I’m looking forward to my second surgery next week and have complete confidence in Dr. Schwiesow.

Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful. I felt confident of getting the best treatment available. The only negative was the time spent waiting before being seen. I arrived at 8:10 for an 8:20 appointment and wasn't seen until almost 9:00.

I have seen Dr. Kurt several times the past few years and have nothing but good things to say. He answered my questions and, most importantly, did a very thorough, professional job with my eye-related problems. In fact, I'll be seeing him again early tomorrow morning!

I am very happy with Dr Kurt Schiesow. He did my cataract surgery a few years back and now the procedure to remove the film off my eyes. I can see clearly now.

Dr. Kurt performed my cataract surgery. Prior to surgery, I had choices on which lense I wanted and which type of surgery. He was very helpful answering my questions and helping me make the right decision for me. Surgery went very well and he informed me along the way on what I would be experiencing. The results were amazing. Very happy with the choice I made.

Dr. Kurt Schwiesow doesn't listen or want to be questioned. Has no respect for patients or their time. After reading the reviews, including those on the BBB site, I will never go there. Don't let your wife or children go there alone. If you have an elderly family member don't send them without an advocate.

He doesn't listen. I asked questions and he weren't give me the time of day. I had a lot of concerns and was give some papers to read and when he did answer it was always the same, surgery. Wouldn't send my worse enemy to see him.
