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.

Highly Recommend, Excellent Experience
I had my first visit with Dr. Seith today. The staff were caring, courteous and upbeat. Dr Seith was friendly and knowledgeable. He spent time explaining important details related to my diagnosis. There was such a positive vibe in the office. I highly recommend Dr Seith. I appreciated that he educated me about how diabetes effects the body, and impact on the eyes. I am relieved to know I am in good hands with this doctor.

He won't listen
I'd been going to Dr Fier 20 years. After he passed away I had cataract surgery and lens implants. From day one I explained / complained things weren't right. He just wouldn't listen or ignored me. Now I'm forced to go elsewhere to find out what went wrong.

Both Eyes Cataract Surgery 20/20 no pain
I had both eyes operated for cataracts. The left eye first and then 2 months later the right eye. First of all, I assumed that the procedure was like when I had Lasik over 12 years ago. I did not realize that they gave you a mild anesthesia. That was I realized that this was much more involved. However, Dr. Seith made the entire process a non-event. There was never any pain at all, I even jokingly thought he didn't do anything until my vision post operation on both eyes was an astounding 20/25 on my left eye and 20/20 on my right eye. I bounced between 20/20 on the left eye but I am satisfied tremendously for the results. Surprisingly enough, I used to use 2.00 readers which 99% of the time I do not use anymore. I read with my arm slightly extended and only rarely use my readers when I am reading my phone or iPad in the dark. He is a great Doctor, very professional, and runs a great practice. I was absolutely recommend him for anyone considering cataract surgery. Som

I was extremely disappointed in this opthamologist office. They did an eye exam and would not give me the prescription unless I paid an additional $36 fee. They were adamant about upselling me eye surgery for $3500 per eye when I only wanted an upgraded pair of glasses. This is a sad state of affairs when you cannot get what you came in the office for, and then because you did not opt for the surgery, they withhold the prescription for the glasses. They said I left the office without the prescription and now I would have to pay $36 to get it. I told them you did not offer me the prescription; you only offered me surgery. Do not go to these doctors. They are only interested in the fees they collect.

Suffered with Dry eyes for years and went to several eye doctors. Dr. Seith gave me a sample of Xiidra and after years of suffering and putting over the counter drops in my eyes, several times a day, I found that this was the solution. Thank you Dr. Seith.

October 10, 2018 I had an appointment with Dr. Seith. He answered my questions with intelligent responses, not guessing if he didn't have a specific answer. I liked his professionalism and demeanor. He was respectful and made suggestions that were practical and productive. He also referred me to a neurological opthamologist. I will definitely return to see him for many years to come. I appreciate his not 'blowing off' my concerns and questions.

strongly suggest you find another ophthalmologist. Had cataract surgery was not a great success. Was not informed of side effects. Including now seven months later need glasses for distance The new lens had created the film and vision and dropped dramatically. Also during the procedure had questioned something that he was doing during the procedure asked why answer medically necessary that's pretty stupid answer office is money hungry run like a factory stay away
