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.

Cataract Surgery with Toric Lens implants
Dr. Turner, as well as his medical staff, were friendly and took time to explain the procedure and answer questions. They also called the day after surgery to see how I was doing. I was well pleased at how well I could see following surgery.

My appointment was very organized and thorough. I’m currently awaiting cataract surgery on my first eye, and while I’m a bit apprehensive, Dr Turner put me at ease.

Preop surgical exam for cataract surgery.
Efficiently organized exams in three separate exam rooms. Visit with Dr. Turner was brief but effective. Dr. Turner asked if I had questions and non came to mind. Basic procedure and reason for the type of procedure was explained.

I was basically blind and now I can see
My entire life I couldn't see past a couple feet in front of my face and even that was blurry. I had coke bottle glasses since the 6th grade and my contacts never really were a great fit with my astigmatism but I wore them anyways because they were better than those glasses. After getting lasik it is truly a miracle. Dr Turner and the entire staff were so awesome and the procedure took literally minutes. When I walked out I could already see! After a short nap at home when I woke up it was amazing, I could see better than I ever had with contacts. It is life changing to be able to just wake up and see. I'm so grateful and would recommend Wolfe eye clinic to every single person wearing glasses or contacts. It's amazing!! Thank you
