I have been a patient of Dr. Fuchs for over twenty five years. Not only did he save my eyesight after repairing my torn retina but he has been consistently A+ plus in his proficiency, extraordinary skill, thoroughness, compassion and brilliance. It is rare to find a doctor of his remarkable talent. I highly recommend Dr. Wayne Fuchs.

He is thorough, patient and caring with a wonderful chair side professionalism enabling me to better comprehend the occlusion in my eye. He welcomes questions and makes sure you completely understand his diagnosis and recommended treatment. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Fuchs has a great manner and spends a lot of time with me at each visit. His office is very well run and unlike most eye doctors I have been to, you don't have to wait forever. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Already told my friend after first visit. Have seen 5 other opthalmologists and Dr. Fuchs ties with my favorite regular eye doctor who is tops also.

Dr. Fuchs was compassionate and knowledgeable. He has a great sense of humor but is also very sensitive to the difficulties of being a patient. He was the third retina doctor that I have seen, and I will stick with him.

The most caring physician I have ever seen. He explains everything clearly. I asked him a question once and he got out a text book and read me the details. This was above and beyond the call of duty. This is someone who inspires trust and earns your respect.
