The ABSOLUTE BEST!

Dr. Mark Fleckner is the absolute best in his field hands down! In 2010 I was referred to Dr. Fleckner because I was experiencing flashing white lights in my left eye. It so happened that I had a detached retina and holes in my eye that Dr. Fleckner quickly addressed performing emergency surgery. If he did not perform the surgery as he did I would’ve been blind today. I owe everything to Dr. Fleckner, I owe him my life! Without your sight, you loose everything, he restored my sight and I will be forever grateful for him. God Bless him! On another occasion I had to ring him on his emergency line, he picked up the phone and listened to my visual concerns and perfectly and calmly described to me that I was experiencing an ocular migraine and that my symptoms should subside on their own (which they did) and he assured me to call him if they didnt and would see me. Dr. Fleckner is just God sent for me, I will always, always, always speak of Dr. Fleckner in high regard, I recommend everyone to him. Ignore the fake bad reviews, people are cruel and just want to put a bad name on this man, he loves what he does and we need more people like him in the world. -Rosa M

Ultra-talented but aloof and hasteful.

Dr. Fleckner may be a very talented specialist, but he has all the compassion of a fast-food cattle rancher. He runs his well-tuned practice like a conveyor belt; rather deferring to his assistant to briefly —at best— explain what it was that he just whisked in to do...the man should be wearing a cape. But the fact remains; if he's the guy plunging two-inch needles into the eyes of his 90-year-old patients, he should at least have the poise and common courtesy to offer explanation and reassurance to the entire procedure—especially when the patient is experiencing an adverse result. I saw this first hand, and when my mom had concerns regarding the side-effects of a drug he administered for the second time, his only explanation—as he was already stretching for the door was, "maybe it's a coincidence." I'll tell you what is not a coincidence: that following this hasty experience did I immediately find a new ophthalmologist to care for my mom.

Not the way to greet a new patient

Went to this Doctor for the first time. All of his staff is extremely friendly and courteous, but the Dr. lacks basic manners. He introduced himself giving me his back. If I ever introduced myself giving my back to a prospective client, I would definitely not get the job. His examination was rushed. I wouldn't consider going back.

Was able to see me quickly, highly recommend

I called several ophthalmologists for a problem with my eye, and Dr. Fleckner's office was the only one that would fit me in for a quick appointment. He was competent and reassuring.

Show Rating Breakdown

Lacks compassion & and concern...

Dr.Fleckner showed no compassion or interest when seeing my mother. He is impatient and rushes when questions are asked and does not go into detail. He lacks bedside manner. Your feel as though you are an irritant to him with every question you ask or for every minute he has to spend with you. The entire time he makes you feel uncomfortable. The results of her surgery were terrible which added to it all. I would NOT recommend him to anyone.
