Successful Cataract Surgery and Laser Correction
I had both lenses replaced with multifocal lenses and laser correction for astigmatism. My eyesight is beyond what I had hose for. Dr. De Boar was nice, thoughtful, and professional throughout the process. She answers all my pre- and post-op questions. I highly recommend Dr. De Boar. also had a great experience with Graystone Eye Surgery Center the days of my surgeries. The nurses, technicians, and staff were great.

Excellent Physician
I’ve had 2 annual eye exams with Dr. De Boer. She is pleasant, communicative, and took the time to clearly answer and respond to all of my questions and concerns. I plan to continue to see her for annual exams and will use her for cataract surgery when required.

Amazing!
Dr. De Boer is one of the most amazing doctors I have ever met. She is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She did an amazing job removing cataracts from both eyes. I am a veteran, and have severe PTSD. She did everything she could to accommodate me and my special needs. I highly recommend her for any ophthalmology care!!

Didn’t Listen
Very unprofessional and unkind. Completely ignored the issue I came in for and treated something else less concerning. Meanwhile, my eyes have worsened and I’m having to seek treatment with another doctor.

Loved working with Dr. De Boer
From the first visit I’ve found Dr. De Boer and team to be friendly, knowledgeable and most helpful. She discovered that I needed to have a cataract removed, promptly scheduled my surgery, removed the cataract and now my vision has been restored! Thanks again for taking good care of my eyes!

My surgery experience
Dr. de Boer is a paramount example of what every doctor should be! She is exceptionally knowledgeable about every aspect of examining and diagnosing your problem. After conducting numerous exams of every part of my eyes she clearly explained what my problem was and that I needed surgery. Next, she was very thorough with her explanation of the surgical process she needed to do in order to correct my vision problem. Dr. de Boer was extremely generous with her time by allowing me to ask any questions or address any concerns I had. She performed my surgery in March and it was amazingly successful! Dr. de Boer is ALWAYS very professional but also very friendly, kind, and compassionate. She truly cares about all of her patients. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. de Boer to anyone who needs an Ophthalmologist! She is absolutely THE BEST!

Dr. De Boer gave me the strongest peace of mind during what could be very stressful and anxious surgery. She is sober, professional, yet very personable. I can not say enough good about Dr. De Boer. I love her.
