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.

Outstanding in his field. Dr Fintelmann was highly recommended by several of his peers. He does not disappoint. Dr Fintelmann is patient in his explanations and generous with his time. He is dedicated to repairing and improving my vision.

I have been very impressed with the level of care I have gotten from Dr. Fintelmann. He is thorough, he explains things carefully, and listens just as carefully. I have had some perplexing issues, and Dr. Fintelmann has left no stone unturned in his effort to find the underlying cause and prescribe the best treatment. Over the time that I have been getting care from this practice, I have interacted with every doctor here, and each and every one of them has been excellent.

After Dr. Fintelmann completed cataract surgery with cornea shaving on my left eye in June 2015, I am now blind in that eye.. After one week of the surgery I had to have emergency retina surgery to clean out a MRSA infection. In my view I either contracted this infection in the operating theatre or from one of the staff in a post op exam. I have now just completed my 4th surgery in 8 months (a cornea transplant) in my left eye. I have never had an apology. Just more bills.

Dr. Fintelmann is an awesome doctor and person. He eased me through my cataract surgery and scraping of my eyelids. He is genuine and has a sense of humor which is rare for doctors nowadays. I honestly look forward to my next appointment, if required. He is 5 stars in my book as well as my wife's. We both recommend him to anyone wanting a great eye doctor.

Had a partial corneal transplant to resolve issues with Fuch's Dystrophy. Had an excellent experience in all ways. Someone sitting next to me complained that she was shoved here and there. I found the procedure time efficient and very effective. in a very short time, I had worked with 6 or 7 health professonals who gave me a wide variety of tests and explained to me how the surgery would work. The surgery and follow-up were outstanding!
