Dr. David Shiple, MD

Could not have been worse, my eye went blind!!!!!!!

He did a wonderful job for my ex husband. He showed compassion to us when he had his surgery

My mother is in her 80's and had cataract surgery. The guy that put the IV in ignored her when she said it hurt and after ripped off the adhesive. Her hand and wrist turned black from bruising. We made sure Dr. Siple knew this with photographs. At the post-op after I reiterated this and said it sounded like the guy was being a jerk Siple went off on me in a very condescending way. And he made an excuse that his colleague was probably having a bad day. That's not an excuse and Siple should have understood why we were upset but he chose to escalate the situation instead of understanding why I might be upset about how the guy treated my mother. He actually asked my mother (in a condescending tone) if she could discuss things without name calling. I told him not to talk to her like that. I would NEVER EVER recommend Siple to anyone.

Staff is very friendly and competent. Dr. Shiple is also a “people person” and individualizes his consultations and recommendations to the expressed concerns and preferences of his patients. He listens. All services are comfortably provided with attention to all the necessary details of best practice and reflect a true professional. I have been very pleased and feel I received excellent services.

Excellent care but the wait times can be long.

My cataract surgeries were performed very efficiently, with care and concern. All my needs were met by the entire staff. Very satisfied!

Throughout this process of assessment bilateral cataract surgeries, I have been consistently impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of your organization. Dr. Shiple has excellent "bedside manner", addressing my fears and concerns and answering my questions in a respectful, non-condescending and thorough manner. I am ENTIRELY satisfied, and deeply grateful. The improvement in my vision has been truly life-changing; I am ecstatic with the results.

Dr. Shiple performed cataract surgery for me. I am on the younger side of cataract patients and have many years to live in my new, forever eyes so the selection of the right lens was very important to me. I did my research and then went in to my presurgery appointment loaded up with questions that Dr. Shiple took plenty of time to answer. Together we decided on the best option for me. The surgery went perfectly, it was extremely well organized at both the office and the surgery center and I am thrilled with the results. I couldn't be more happy.

Very professional

Dr. Shiple is an excellent physician. He listens well, very respectful. I highly recommend him.

Very professional

I was nervous about having this done, but it was very relaxing.

I would definitely recommend Dr Shiple to my family and friends. He is professional and thorough and has a pleasant bedside manner.

Everyone was very nice and helpful.

I would clearly and definitively recommend, Dr.Shiple, Ophthalmic Consultants of Vermont, and the Vermont Eye Surgery and Laser Center. The business model, the overall organization and care was consistent and supported their high professional standards. It was refreshing to be treated well and communication was always clear, honest and well informed.

Dr. Shiple is professional, personable, and caring.

I had both cataracts removed and the experience was very satisfying. Dr. Shiple is professional, courteous, compassionate (sorely missing in many specialists!) and thorough. I felt confident from the initial visit to the follow-up visits. It is nice to feel the caring that he and his staff present.

I have never been so comfortable and confident at any doctors appointment. From the first visit to the first procedure I just felt that every person that I had to work with were very caring and professional people. I am excited to have the cataract on the left removed.

Very smooth process, and pleased with the results. Many thanks to you all!

from bow to stern, excellent job by all.
