My 10 year old had two eye surgeries One week apart. Both surgeries went well. My son was able to open his eyes within a few hours and was amazed at how well he could see with no pain. His recovery is going great. Dr. Sebastian Heersink is awesome and we thank him and his kind staff members for an awesome job.

He may be an excellent doctor, but how in the world do you get an hour and a half behind by 6:30 AM? I am still sitting here at 8:00 AM appointment time 6:30 AM. Someone needs to do better scheduling. I’m tired of him wasting my time.

My first mistake was watching videos on youtube before I went in for my cataract surgery, so of course when I went in for surgery, my blood pressure was through the roof. When I got to the surgery center, the staff was so wonderfully calm, which helped right away. Needless to say, after my surgery I am a changed woman! I have to say now that there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of!!!!!. Dr. Sebastian and his staff are excellent and I now feel that nobody should be afraid of cataract surgery. Now colors are brighter, everything is sharper and I am able to see every leaf on every tree! (My distance vision is back to 20/20!) I can read road signs again! Love, love, love cataract surgery by Dr. Sebastian Heersink! (And down below, if I could go higher than five stars, I would!)

I just had 2 cataracts removed, 3-3 and 3-10, and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Heersink could not have been more attentive and spot on with the diagnosis and choice of lenses. I have had glasses for over 20 years, and the freedom, post op 1 day for each eye is indescribable! The staff that works with Dr. Heersink are so congenial and quick to explain the procedures of testing they administering. All of this combined, you can not find a better Dr., Surgeon, in this area. Dr. Sebastian Heersink is the best!!

Dr. Heersink provided excellent care. The cataract surgery on both of my eyes went very well. Dr Heersink provided me with great information before my surgeries and ensured that I understood what the process would be. During my surgeries, He was very reassuring and made the experience much less stressful. He has also provided excellent follow up care. I would recommend Him to family and friends without hesitation.
