Reviews

"Dr. Leah Kammerdiener is an amazing doctor. My mom-in-law had cataracts with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome problems, which made her surgery a bit tricky. Dr. K handled it with great professionalism. In all my years of dealing with doctors on complicated issues this is the 1st time I didn't have any follow-up questions. She was that thorough in her explanations. We never felt rushed. She always put us at ease. Our family would recommend her without hesitation.Thank you, Dr. K. A+++++"

"This will be a very mixed review, focus on today’s experience. First, I want to say that In the two or three appointments I’ve had here, everything Has gone smoothly and Dr. Kammerdiener has been wonderful. Four or five days ago I was able to move my appointment forward two weeks earlier than originally scheduled date. However, I Couldn’t get a vision field exam and a follow up exam by Dr. Kammerdieiner On the same day, so I scheduled the vision field test for today and the follow up tomorrow. The office is about 35 minutes away from my home.Today, Traffic was a bit slow and I called the office to tell them I might be a few minutes late To my 8:30 AM vision field appointment. I agreed to take the open 10 o’clock slot and so my 8:30 appointment was canceled. Fortunately , the traffic cleared and I arrived 4 minutes late to my original time. Unfortunately, if I understand correctly, there were two people scheduled before me, so maybe I would’ve had to wait anyway. That wasn’t made crystal-clear to me, At about 9:25 I was taken into my vision field screening and was told by my technician that she could’ve taken me at nine as she didn’t have anybody at that time. When I explained that at the check out window I was told that they Should have been notified By the technician who either didn’t know that, or the office policy is confused. In any case, that confusion delayed me unnecessarily, or so, it seems to me. Then, at the same checkout window, they didn’t see anything that indicated I have an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Kammerdiener. I showed them the reminder message I received yesterday. They Couldn’t explain what was going on and went to discuss the situation with the office manager. When they Returned they apologized for the confusion. So, nobody seems to really know how I would receive confirmation for tomorrow’s visit and yet it doesn’t show up in their calendar. They were able to fit me in to 8 AM tomorrow morning. Everyone was nice to me in the office, but I still count three strikes. Still, I do want to see Dr. Kammerdiener and since everyone was pleasant, we’ll say two strikes for today (3 stars instead of 2…)"
