Dr Bockhold has been our family eye doctor for about 30 years, when our kids were little, when I was pregnant, and he diagnosed an eye muscle problem in our son when he was about two. He is very thorough and the staff is friendly and helpful.

I do not take my vision for granted. My family has a history of Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration. I look for a Doctor and staff who make me feel that they are competent. Dr. Bockhold recommended me for cataract surgery 3 years ago when I was new in town (performed brilliantly at Center for Sight by Dr. Shoemaker) and has taken good care of me since. Did I mention that my vision now tests better than 20/20? I highly recommend Dr. Bockhold and Center for Sight..

I was on time for my appointment but there was an issue with my Insurance Carrier. I left to take care of the issue and made it back about 10 minutes later. The staff was very accommodating and allowed me to continue my appointment even though I put them behind on their schedule. I appreciate their quality effort and always recommend them for their professional behavior

Dr. Bockhold is wonderful and his support staff is great - always get in and out in a timely manner - would never consider going anywhere else for my eye care needs.

Everyone in Dr. Bockhold's office is always happy, pleasant and efficient. My husband and I were there and did not finish selecting eyewear until after 5:30 and staff was still waiting on us and not running out the door. I would recommend their services for a great doctor experience.

I have never had a disagreeable moment with Dr. Bockhold or his staff. Not only are they friendly and helpful, but also very knowledgeable. Whenever there has been a problem, I have been worked in, and they followup with you immediately. I would highly recommend Dr. Bockhold (AND the Center for Sight) to anyone!

I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Bockhold or his staff. The facility has met all my expectations and more. From the reception, to the visit with the doctor, to the check out. I highly recommend Center for Sight.
