Appointment.I went back and he sat down and we discussed my cataracts that we're needing to come off ..he ask me did I want to get them off .sowe set the 1st one up got it done and I did great with it .I did my drops and it healed nicely ..went back and got the other one done ...He did an amazing job ! He was very friendly and explained every thing to me .. he took time for me and all this made me comfortable....I went back today for my recheck and I am so glad it's all done and I can see ..I highly recommend this guy ...he sure was nice to me and made me feel comfort and trust of his work......

Didn't like the whole Atwal Eye Care experience! After numerous visits for post cataract surgery complication which an OD diagnosed after an Optician sent me to the OD because the glasses were not right, the OD sends me back to the surgeon. I didn't see him , I got this doctor. finally after 3 months got a 2nd opinion. 2nd guy nailed the problem in 5 min. & referred me to one of the top retina specialists in the area. After I get cleared there, I get the YAG laser to clear up the mess.....elsewhere of course

Doctor Weitzenkorn may not be as warm and fuzzy as some Doctors; then again, that's not a particularly good reason to choose a ophthalmologist. I can see how some people might find his professional manner may be a bit on the brusque side, but my experience with him was that his ability and the quality of his service were excellent.

Dr. Weitzenkorn was able to diagnose a problem that so many others couldn't. He might be a little brisk sometime but I don't need my Doctor to be my best friend, I need him to figure out what is wrong! He did and I am never using another eye doctor again! Thank you Doctor!

Wonderful doctor! He took the time to understand my problems and find out what was going on with my eyes. He is amazing and the only Doctor I will trust with my eyes.

Yes, Dr. Weitzenkorn is a little brisk but he is excellent. Extremely helpful and did what other Doctors could not. He may be a little difficult but he is brilliant! I can see because of him! There is no other eye doctor that I would go to.
