I have been a patient of Dr. Niffenegger’s for approximately 10 years. He came highly recommended by a retina specialist in Beachwood Ohio. I have been totally pleased with my care by him. Aside from being, what I consider, one of the best, he is also a very kind and gentle person.

The best of the best. The Doctors Doctor. I went elsewhere , for a short, time. Big mistake. Big bldg, lots of equipment, etc. Basically a factory. Came back to Dr Neffenegger. One on one. Excellent. He is 10 stars. ( I borrowed 5) H. C. Ely

These are some of the kindest, helpful, knowledgeable, professional people I have been lucky enough to have care for me and my eyes. I am a diabetic and I have been going for a year now, I am taken care of within 5 minutes of my arrival, EVERY person I have ever dealt with has been awesome and my vision has improved. I would recommend them to anyone, they are just great.

Dr. Niffenegger is an excellent doctor - there really aren't words to describe what he and his staff have meant to me over the years. The care that I have received at his practice is second to none. Quality, professionalism, and compassion. This should be the model for healthcare delivery everywhere.

I give Dr.Niffenegger and his staff 5 stars. Higher if I could. I have ARMD and was referred him by my Eve Doctor. They are kind, respectful, professional. I haven’t had to wait more than 2 minutes To be called to start my appointment. The staff are all wonderful and the Doctor is great. I would recommend them highly. Pat Jehlen

Dr. Niffenegger has been taking care of my elderly mother for almost 10 years. He was referred to us by another ophthalmologist who realized that my mother's eye damage (the result of a detached retina) would need ongoing care. He has helped her eyes stay healthy - and even recover some vision that was lost. Dr. Niffenegger and his entire office team are thoughtful, efficient, and caring. I highly recommend them.

Five years ago my opthamologist, Dr. Weber, referred me to Dr. Niffenegger and that tells me how respected he is in the medical community. Since then I have made monthly visits to get injections for my Age-related Macular Degeneration. Without a doubt this practice rates at the top of the scale in terms of professionalism. Moreover, the entire staff makes me feel that I am in good hands and that they care about me and my eye health. Every procedure is approached with great consideration and concern. Getting an injection in the eye is no picnic but I have long ago lost my anxiety because of the nature of this remarkable staff. In addition, protocols have been heightened during the time of Covid-19 so I have no concerns about my risk at the office in Venice.

Excellent doctor. Always friendly staff. Always on time.

Excellent experience. He and his entire staff are so caring, kind, and professional. I will strongly recommend him to all of my family and friends.

personable, caring, excellent surgeon. Took me in immediately upon learning I had two retinal tears. Laser surgery AN IMMEDIATE success. would see this Dr again if need be.

I found this practice AFTER I had a poor laser treatment, done incorrectly on a detached retina at a very large practice in Venice. Dr. Niffenegger and his staff are fabulous. I was very happy with this practice and will continue with all my retina issues. This is a doctor you can trust.

Exzcellent at explaining issues so the patient can understand. Always interested in what the Sarasot Lions Club is doing in the community for eye sight conservation.

Friendly staff showing care and concern for overall patient care.

Did not lissen to my concerns nor answer questions
