Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

BEWARE!!!
I'm astonished that he has so many great reviews. Dr. Wagner came highly recommended, so after seeing him and two other doctors in his practice fail to provied proper care, we sought out a better company. Not one of these doctors took the time to sit down and look into my mother's eyes. All the did was rush in to give her a shot and out they went. And to make this all even worst, we just found out that my mom has developed Glaucoma on top of the MD. It was not present before coming here and had they done their job we could have caught this at the start and prevented the progression. I'm thankful for our current and past doctors, because I know what type of care is expected and this company is not it. Slow down Dr. Wagner and provide the care you are supposed to for your patients. You know what you are doing is wrong and could be very damaging. Sadly, we are dealing with the now.

Dr. Wagners' treatment is better than Johns' Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute. I had received Eylea treatment at JH before receiving it from Dr. Wagner. My vision has improved under Dr.Wagner beyond what JH had told me would ever happen. In addition, Dr. Wagner prescribes a monitoring divice which can be used at home that detects early activity even beter than the state-of-the-art diagnostic photography in any doctors office.. Furthermore, anyone with "dry" macular degeneration should be seeing Dr. Wagner for monitoring because, unfortuntely, a lot of general opthmalogis don't prescribe the at-home monitor. I referred friends of mine to Dr. Wagner and they love him too.

Capable, friendly, very professional staff. Treatment rooms are clean, comfortable, and attractive throughout. Always a pleasant visit from check-in to check-out. Although a great many patients are typically seen here each day, my visits have never felt rushed and I have always received personalized attention. I would not consider going anywhere else for this medical specialty.

Oct 2, 2018 Dr. Wagner operated on my eye for a torn and detaching retina. My results were good considering before surgery I had 90% black wall in that eye. My vision is back, though not as good as before the retina tear. I’m very myopic, but I can read with that eye. I am happy with Dr Wagner and his staff. I believe you will be also.
