Great eye surgeon! Had another doctor do my first cataract back in Ohio and had complications. Dr. Meier explains everything so I could understand, told me why I was at higher risk of complications but explained measures he was going to take to prevent possible issues and surgery went perfectly! Thank you Dr. Meier!

Dr. Meier is wonderful. He is very personable and, more importantly, he is an excellent diagnostician. He sent me to a retinal specialist out of abundant caution because he thought I might have an old tear in my retina. The retinal specialist was quite impressed that someone who was not a retina specialist was able to detect the problem. I m now scheduled for a laser repair. I had no symptoms, so I would not have known that I was at risk if not for Dr. Meier's abundance of precautuion. He's terrific!

I recently saw Dr. Meier and he was excellent. He answered all my questions and took the time to make sure I knew what to do to take of my failing eyesight. I would recommend him to anyone. Truly is an amazing and caring doctor!

I had been having trouble with my eyes for many years and had been to several ophthalmologists. Doctor Meier was able to diagnose my condition and treat me. I am now much better. He was also super friendly and nice. Would highly recommend.
