Patients consistently praise Dr. Catherine Ann Origlieri for her kindness, attentiveness, and ability to explain medical procedures clearly. They describe her interactions with children as kind, gentle, and comforting, with several noting her skill and competence in providing care and conducting surgeries. A recurring issue among negative remarks is the demeanor of some front desk staff, which patients find awkward and unwelcoming, although this does not detract from their overall positive experiences with Dr. Origlieri and her team.

We saw Dr. Origlieri for a same-day emergency when our regular doctor wasn’t available, and she was phenomenal. She was kind, intelligent, attentive, and caring. You would never know my daughter wasn’t her regular patient! I’m so thankful for her help, her calm demeanor, and her obvious skill and competence!

Dr O was amazing with my 5 year old and her first eye appointment. She was so kind, caring and patient! She also explained everything we needed to know and made sure all questions were answered.

Dr O was very helpful in explaining what our options were and what possible costs might be associated with each choice. I would say the only critique of NW Eye in general (having nothing at all to do with the providers) is the demeanor of some front desk staff. Like other medical facilities, you stand away from the desk when you arrive or check out, but the staff can see you clearly in front of them, waiting, but they don't say anything like "hold on, just a second and I will be with you." So we just awkwardly stand there for a bit while aren't acknowledged. It's very awkward and annoying.

Without going into too much detail, Dr. Origlieri was friendly and answered the questions that we had. She was forthcoming on the treatment needs for my son.

I drove an hour and a half to have my child seen by Dr. O, and it was totally worth it! Wonderful experience across the board.

Dr. Origlieri is great with my children. She is calm and gentle, speaking softly, even singing at times to make sure my children are feeling comfortable. Dr. O also does a great job explaining the eye exam results and any follow-up needed.

Dr. Origlieri is a gem of a physician and person. She is thorough, kind and prompt. She is not only compassionate but a skilled surgeon and I we trusted her without reservation to operate on my 2 year old sons eyes. I will have her be my entire family ophthalmologist!
