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.

OCLI IS TOO FAT!
I love Dr. Sturm. I've been going to him for a number of years and he has always provided me with the best care. However, the last appointment was a disaster. I got to the 9 AM appointment a half hour early. Checked in, took a seat and waited to be called. 9 AM and no call. 9:15, no call. 9:30 and no call. at 9:45 I turned to the person next to me and asked him what time his appointment was for. He said 9 AM. So I asked with which doctor? Dr. Sturm, he said, and with that another patient four seats away leaned over and said "me, too!". With that I got up and walked over to the desk and cancelled the appointment and walked out. OCLI has gotten too big. Their bottom line has become their ultimate concern at the expense of respect for their patients.

Did NOT listen to what I had come into the office for. Did a test that was irrelevant and did not do the test that I had booked after referral by other doctors. Huge wait times and then did not listen. He might as well have examined my foot instead of my eyes for what good the entire appointment was.

Dr. Sturm has been excellent all of my visits for many years. Very thorough, comprehensive examinations. Clear explanations regarding current status of eyes. You can trust Dr. Sturm will give you the best eye care. My wife and I look forward to our examinations.
