What Our Patients Are Saying

“My appointments were long, but you explained what was going on and I appreciate your taking the time to help me understand my options. I feel good that I made the right choices and also about my vision. I think it is in good care with you. Thank you very much.”

Esther

“I was impressed by the professionalism of the office staff from check in to exams to checkout. At my cataract surgeries I felt safe and secure in their procedures. Dr Spaulding performed my surgeries and I would recommend him to anyone needing the services he offers. He was both personable and professional.”

Jan

“I can't rave enough about the amazing Dr. Rutar. I deeply respect and admire her skill and knowledge. More than a year after my strabismus surgery, my eyes are still aligned. The incisions healed beautifully and my depth perception is spot on. My life has changed for the better because of it.”

Bethany

“I had a great experience here. I was greeted promptly and treated courteously. Dr Spaulding and his staff were amazing. Thank you!”

“I could not be more pleased by the treatment I received from Dr. Rutar and her staff. She performed two cataract surgeries for me and each time carefully explained all the options and risks along with the likely outcomes.”

Lee

“The level of professionalism, kindness and care given to me before, during and after my cataract surgery was excellent. The prep and recovery nurses made sure I was comfortable and remained calm before and following the surgery.”

Frank
