I really liked his personality and he explained well what was going on with my eye. He eased my worry about him being there until they get a replacement for Dr. Daniels. He also made me feel better about my condition in saying that it was stable.

I have been very blessed to have Dr. Sternberg as my eye surgeon for 20+ years. I followed him from Emory (ATL) to Vanderbilt. I wouldn't see any other doctor for my retina issues. If it wasn't for his unbelievable knowledge and abilities, I would be totally blind today. I can't thank this doctor enough for giving me the ability to see.

I iam so lucky to be able to see Dr. Sternberg . . . he is a busy doctor. You can tell by the way all the other nurses, technicians etc, that they repect his knowledge and treatment of his patients. He might not be a chit chatty doctor, but knows his field in macular degeneration.

Dr Sternberg is very efficient which may lead some people to believe that he doesn't spend enough time with his patient. He has always answered my questions and is very professional. I highly recommmend this doctor. Ocular Melanoma patient, since 2006.

This Dr. has the WORST and most arrogant manner I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. I know specialists can be full of themselves, but to pay over $600.00 and be treated so rudely by this Dr. is unacceptable. I would never see him again.
