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.

Very knowledgeable, friendly
Dr. Speck is a very knowledgeable individual. He takes the time you need to get it right.

I'm beyond thrilled at going to see him
My wife and I had appointments and the exam was super thorough. We were both impressed with how much was done in the 2-hour time span. We would highly recommend anyone to see this doctor and even the one time the doctor misgendered my one he corrected himself and the rest of the staff never misgendered my wife I really suggest if you want your eyes to be true to taken care of to go see this doctor

Best of the best!
The first time that I met Dr. Speck, I had experienced what I felt was an urgent eye problem. This issue occurred suddenly on a Saturday morning, and I could not reach my usual eye doctor. As a longshot, I left a message on Dr Speck's office phone, expecting no response until Monday. To my surprise, Dr Speck called me back within 10 minutes, listened to my symptoms, and told me to meet him at his office in 30 minutes! Truly unheard of in today's medical profession!!! Once at his office, he thoroughly checked my eyes and assured me that although the symptoms were concerning, they were not related to any severe eye issue. From that point forward, Dr Speck became my eye specialist. His medical knowledge, experience, and demeanor have always impressed me. He has a way of succinctly expressing pertinent details with calmness and care in a very understandable way. I feel that he truly cares for every patient as if they were his family. His staff is also extremely friendly and professional.

Professional, thorough and informative!
I was referred to Dr. Speck with an emergency eye puncture. He provided a very thorough examination of my eye. I was very satisfied with his professional advice in the healing of my injury, and through his care, there was no scaring to my eye, which I am so thankful for. I returned to Dr. Speck for an eye exam several months later and was not disappointed. I always learn interesting facts from Dr. Speck about eye health and the important glimpse it provides to one's overall health. His integrity and expertise is beyond reproach. Thank you ever so much Dr. Speck and staff!

Hi did bilateral cataract surgery for me and they are perfect! He came to the office to see when my vision suddenly changed and he diagnosed it correctly and sent me immediately to the eye surgeon I needed for Macular degeneration and that intervention surely helped save my vision. He is caring and professional and his office is the same.
