Dr. Cassel is the best. His easy manner and knowledge puts me at ease every time. He performed cataract surgery on both eyes and I am so happy.

treatment at this eye doctor's office is generally good. The problem we have encountered is with their billing system. Frequently we are billed 3-6 months after the service, and then get a late payment notice.for service that we were never billed for.

I was seen by Dr. Cassel to diagnose complications from cataract surgery performed by a different doctor (who didn't know what was wrong). Dr. Cassel quickly diagnosed the problem and made an immediate appointment for me with a retinal specialist. A Vitrectomy was performed by the specialist. I will soon have Dr. Cassel remove the cataract from my left eye.

Dr. Cassel was unprofessional, rude, and showed a complete lack of empathy.

Dr Cassel successfully performed my complicated cataract surgery without my needing to see a retinal specialist . I highly recommend him as a surgeon.

I have been going to Dr. Cassell for over 10 years and have always found him to be professional and knowledgeable. He explains things thoroughly and answers all questions. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Cassel is fabulous. Yesterday, I woke up with severe eye pain, cloudiness, and tearing and was unable to be treated by a general physician. Dr. Cassel was able to fit me in the same day. Only had to wait a couple minutes upon arriving for my appointment. He was compassionate and spot-on regarding the problem. His treatment worked wonders on my eye. Thanks again!

Dr. Cassel is very knowledgeable and takes the time needed to treat each patient. I believe he cares about every individual's needs when they have an appointment with him. He's personable and makes you feel comfortable in the environment.
