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.

Heexamined my eyes but did not discuss any findings of his examination with me other than stating stating "my vision is normal". I use screen reading software, an enlarged monitor and other visual aids. My vision is far from normal. Hemade no attempt to explore or discuss my visual complaints, a list of which I provided his nurse screening me.He did not discuss any diagnosis with me but my records reflect one I've never heard of.It is confusing why he listed a diagnosis after telling me my vision was normal. Was rushed and left the room as quickly as he could. If You want comprehensive care and a physician that listens and addresses your symptoms I'd suggest you pick a practice where the physician has a vested interest in addressing patient concerns at a private practice versus a Dr. Mill.

My visit this morning with Dr. Diakonis was excellent. He took time to re-do some earlier tests whose results he questioned. He carefully but concisely explained the diagnosis and the need for follow-up visits. He is proficient, professional, and respectful of a patient's time and questions.

My office visit was very good. He pinpointed my problem right away and made suggestions, which I followed, having surgery for cataracts, one on 4/1, next on 4/8. The first surgery went well & I look forward to having the second one. Dr. Diakonis is very professional & builds trust.

After having cataract surgery 2 years ago I was experiencing floaters in my left eye. My visit explained why I was having these floaters and put me at ease that my eye sight is good

Dr. Diakonis is is very skilled in his techniques and preforms them with ease and confidence. Extremely knowledgeable, he can easily and simply explain the diagnosis and needed procedures. He is professionally, yet friendly and puts you at ease. It is evident he has a well trained staff. I am glad he is my doctor.

Dr. Diakonis has a wonderful bedside manner. He uses his upbeat, positive attitude to place his patients at ease in what they will be going through and that there's a sense that we will solve my condition and I will see clearly again. I would recommend Dr. Diakonis to anyone needing an Ophthalmologist.

Went in for corneal cross linking with Dr. D. Everything went very smoothly. Dr. D was very helpful through the process and spent time explaining the procedure as it is fairly new in the US. Staff was great and a special thank you to Rene Mitschang for her tremendous help playing middle man between myself and the insurance company.
