Highly Recommended!
Imagine finding a highly professional and skilled ophthalmologist with a passion for her profession and compassion for her patients. Dr. Sarah Eccles-Brown is exceptionally thorough in her examinations with great attention given to the details of her diagnoses. Her well-honed interpersonal skills puts me at ease with an appreciated level of comfort. She always finds time to answer all my questions, to personally check on the my progress following a procedure and to share recent test results with me in a timely manner. I feel very fortunate to have her caring for my eyesight.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Eccles Brown performed my cataract surgery in April 2024. I found her one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. She is bright, extremely knowledgeable, professional in every aspect and treated me with the utmost of care and kindness. She listens intently to your needs, makes decisions based on what will work best for you and follows through to the end with excellent results. I can not say enough about this remarkable doctor. She sets the bar for excellence.

Careful, Considerate and Professional
Dr. Eccles-Brown has perform 2 Cataract operations on my eyes. Left in 2018 and Right Eye in 2023. I was taken with her careful detailed testing back in 2018, her compassion for my feelings for this "messing" with my eye ball so to speak. I felt comfortable, no pain and confident in her ability. Now in 2023, I have experienced the same confidence in her ability and caring for me as an individual not another medicare payer. I can't say enough for her bedside manners, professional approach and after care.

Best Doctor!
I have been seeing Dr. Eccles- Brown for almost 3 years. She is such a wonderful doctor and so companionate and caring. I have scleritis in both my eyes that is very painful and difficult to treat. Dr. Eccles- Brown genuinely cares. You can see it in her actions and smile how much she loves being a doctor and helping you. I would highly recommend her to any of my family and friends. I completely trust her and I look forward to my office visits with her. The office staff is very friendly!

Excellent surgery and follow-up care
I had cataract surgery done by Dr. Eccles-Brown and had to have my eyes done a month apart, due to a cold. The re-scheduling was easily adjusted. Dr. Eccles Brown clearly explained everything before the surgery to be sure I was getting exactly what I expected. She did an excellent job before, during, and after the surgery. Great staff too!

Excellent. I had first cataract removal with implant; Dr. Eccles-Brown is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend her. She is also a veteran of the US military and for that service to America I am extremely grateful. She is very professional, helpful and informative and this first surgery was very successful with Dr. Eccles-Brown and the entire staff at the Surgi Center. My second surgery will be performed in August.

Dr. Eccles-Brown is very professional. She listens carefully to the patient's concerns. Dr. Eccles Brown worked in a detailed manner, carefully, precisely. After the first eye was done she did not want to rush doing the second eye, which I appreciated. There was great care throughout the experience. I highly recommend Dr. Sarah Eccles-Brown.

I can’t say enough good about this Dr!! Dr Eccles Brown is meticulous. We had a lot of conversation between the first eye and the second to make sure we were matching my needs with the correct lens. Her bedside manner and follow up was incredible. I recommend her highly. I was an unusual client in that I’m in my 50’s and still working in the business world and had specific needs. The cause of my cataracts was not age but a side effect of the drug, steroids taken for my allergies. I give her an A++ for matching my needs with the right lenses! Thank you Dr Eccles Brown!

She was the surgeon who successfully performed two exotic cataract operations for me. I had scarring on my eyes from Lasik surgery performed 20 years ago, which complicated my situation. She evaluated the results of the examinations that she & Dr. Wagner conducted. Dr. Eccles-Brown explained fully which procedures would work and which would not. She explained the associated financials and what could be expected from each operation. The lenses I chose were expensive, but I am still extremely pleased with the results. My goal was to regain "far" vision in both eyes. She explained my choice might mean using "reader glasses" for up close reading, which I acknowledged. The left eye was done in late February and the right in early April. Well it is late July and both eyes are still outstanding. I rarely have to reach for readers and only to read very small print, like expiration dates on coupons. LOL
