Dr. Dingeldein has been taking care of my eye needs for years. He did my cataract surgery and I don't think k I will ever see anyone else. He takes time with his patients and always has a pleasant personality. In my opinion he's the best.

He was on time. He greeted me in a very friendly way. He reviewed that afternoon's test by his staff. My eyes had been dilated and he examined them. He thoroughly examined all the areas of both eyes. He talked to me about what he was finding. He said we would continue with the glaucoma drops. I think he does a thorough job.

Dr Dingeldein treated my 93 year old mother with respect, made everything crystal clear, and made us feel like we had options to consider. Dodie also was upbeat, thorough, and very professional.
