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.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We will be returning for the appropriate procedure to correct the vision.

I was seen as a follow-up appt having had surgery the day prior. Dr. Was very through and addressed any questions I had, never making me feel hurried. I felt he cared about not only my eye but also me as a person.

This was a follow-up appointment after surgery. I was quite anxious and full of questions. Everything was explained to me, calming my fears. My surgery was a complete success and I am forever thankful for saving my vision.

pleasant surprise
I needed a series of injections in an eye to treat an occluded vein that was causing blurred vision. Dr. Strohbehn is personable and eased my nervousness. The procedure is a piece of cake: painless, brief. I've had two, am scheduled for a few more, and have no hesitation to continue as necessary.

Extremely long wait time. Three 'Nurses' could not get a needle in my vein and left my arm badly bruised and swollen.

Excellent care
Dr. Strohbehn offers excellent care. He is personable and knowledgeable. He listens well, explains things well, and is willing to answer questions that I might have. He offered me a new medication that has allowed my vision to become more stable and has allowed the time between injections to become greater.
