I want to thank Dr. Rheeman for his thorough examination of my Mother-in-Law. At 86 years old, her doctors had dismissed her symptoms as due to old age. A referral appointment with Dr. Rheeman not only provided us with a diagnosis, but a plan of action that is proving to improve her quality of life. He did not dismiss her symptoms as old age, and truly listened to his patient! A wonderful experience!

He's thorough in his exams, pleasant to speak with and listen to, and I am so blessed to have been referred as a consult appt.! When I awoke with double vision on a Wed., I was able to see him on Friday, thanks to an intervention by Dr. Michael Pokabla (another Dr. Wizard of Wonderful!)...I left the building able to focus, thanks to his expertise!! All this took place AFTER the consult appt. 3 wks earlier. I AM IN AWE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE AND WILLINGNESS TO SHARE IT.

The staff is very dismissive and curt. They made a huge mistake and I am still waiting for the correction.

Dr. Charles Rheeman is wonderful. I love going to his office. He is very quick but very thorough. He seems to really care about my eyes. If I missed an appointment or had to cancel, he himself would call me to see if I was OK. I always look forward to going to see him. I feel like he has my best interest at heart when it comes to my eye care.

Dr. Rheeman is consistently very thorough in examinations and very quick to share his findings with me during the exam- easy to talk with and question. Dr. Rheeman is very focused on the patient in his care during the visit. Both doctor and staff are very personable and as accomodating as can be with the busy practice.
