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.

Extremely pleased with care & catar surgery result
I was extremely nervous about my cataract surgery, esp after my experience with another ophthalmologist who told me my cataract was exceptionally thick & would be exceptionally difficult to extract. I am so glad I decided to switch to Dr Falkenberg. The surgery was flawless, no hitches, & I now have perfect vision. The surgery team was wonderful. He is the best. Highly recommend.

Completely satisfied
I had cataract surgery and it went smoothly and was painless. My eyesite has improved so I expect to see even better when I receive my new eyeglass prescription. I felt very confident with both the practice and Dr. Falkenberg.

Good Sieht
I saw Dr. Falkenberg to have cataracts removed 2 years ago. As often happens, a film developed over my eyes that he recently removed. As always, the staff was friendly, open to answering questions and generally made me feel relaxed. Dr. Falkenberg is also good about explaining the procedures he will perform and answering questions.

Dr. Falkenberg is the quintessential professional and the most sought after eye surgeon in our area. When I needed my cataracts removed, he explained the procedure in layman’s terms and patiently responded to my many questions. The procedure couldn’t have gone better, as did the followups. To top it off, his staff could not have been nicer or more professional.

Doc Faulkenberg and his staff were outstanding. From reception to the technician's exam, Doc's clinical assessment, explanation of options and the wrap up and scheduling of necessary procedures were all professional, efficient, clear, and concise. From any aspect you will get the distinct impression you are in very capable hands. I would highly recommend the Doc's Seiht eye clinic to anyone who wants to feel safe and entrust the correction of what I think is the most valuable of your five senses--that being sight.

Dr. Falkenburg did my cataract surgery a few years ago as well as YAG procedure recently. He is very thorough, takes time and listens and pleasant to talk with. In my opinion, he is an excellent doctor and I highly recommend him for your eye care needs. His staff are very pleasant and efficient as well! Thank you Dr. Falkenburg.

R. Seidl – May 29, 2021

I have had cataracts removed in both eyes with the middle and reading vision also corrected. Dr. Falkenburg listened attentively to my myriad of questions, answered them all and put me at ease. He is an excellent surgeon and a perfectionist! I see 20/15 in both eyes; better at 72 than I did at age 10 when I first started wearing glasses. Dry eye and astigmatism kept me from using contacts so this new freedom is exhilarating! I had a rather common cloudy posterior capsule that is like scar tissue that Dr Falkenburg broke up with 30 second YAG laser procedure that allows the light to re enter. Hence 20/15 better than normal vision! I would unequivocally recommend Dr. Falkenburg to family and friends!
