Don't see my preview; but consider others would be interested. I was reminded yesterday when eyes were being examined a report from Dr. Tschoepe following an exam. I had asked about contacts as he rushed out the room. He said I had some tears. Not satisfied I went to another opthamologist within a month. I had a cataract that needed to be removed. Dr. Tschoepe did not even mention that cataract.

This guy is a piece of crap. He is the cause of my fathers one sided blindness which lead to years of unemployment and is now considered disabled. DO NOT got to Dr. Tschoepe.

My mother had cataract surgery and he damaged her eye, my husband actually could see something like a cut on her eyeball. She now is seeing other doctors and her view after the surgery is 30/50.

I would recommend this ophthalmologist from a person who has gone to about 7 different ones because of eye problems. He is honest and doesn't mind explaining problems to you about your eyes.
