STARTED GOING TO DR RUDD WHEN HE TOOK OVER FORMER DR'S PRACTICE BEFORE CLARUS (ABT 19 YRS). REMOVED CATARACTS FROM BOTH EYES. ONLY STOPPED GOING BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO EYE EXAMINES ANYMORE.

Always caring and courteous staff throughout my visit. Dr. Rudd does a great job reviewing my eye care and his plan for my eye health. I recommend him to my friends and family and anyone else who is looking for an exemplary eye doctor.

The staff is very caring bit most of all very efficient. My cataract surgery was very easy to understand, took little time, and I felt very powerful as a result. The wet macular degeneration condition was diagnosed and handled by Dr Penny Reck in a very caring and efficient way. Follow up continues every six months. I give this firm the highest rating. Thank you everyone.

I first encountered Dr. Rudd when I needed cataract surgery. He demonstrated great interest in me and my needs, did a great job, and provided great follow-up care. Since then, he did a second cataract job, plus two corneal transplants. He has been a true professional in all respects, and continues to consider and address all my concerns, questions and needs in a way that is understandable and effective. In short, Jay Rudd is a great surgeon AND a warm, caring human being. He has my highest recommendation.
