Just finished my second cataract surgery with Dr. Nieto. Excellent outcome on both eyes resulting in no more glasses. I found Dr. Nietos confidence very reassuring and his capabilities excellent! The staff at Fuerste was very friendly and professional.

The first time I walked into Fuerste Eye Clinic and Met with Juan Nieto. HE was very attentive to me. He examined my eyes. When i had decided to get Lasik he informed me of all the issue that could happen but also the success rates. It seemed he was more against it than anything. Which is okay as a doctor to have that opinion. I am glad that i went through with the Surgery coming out with no issues and even better vision than Most. Juan did amazing on the Procedure and made it very quick. That same day when i got home he made sure and called me to see how i was doing. He explained some of the feelings that i had after it were normal and that to just rest my eyes. Life for me has gotten better since I decided to take this on

Recently had bilateral cataract surgery with lens implants. Very pleased with all aspects surrounding the procedure. Excellent outcome- no glasses or contacts needed after wearing correction for 50 years! Dr. Nieto called me himself the evening of my procedures to check that I was c omfortable and answer any questions . Very good experience!

Dr. Nieto performed cataract surgeries, with multifocal lens implants in both eyes. I am extremely satisfied with the results. I have not experienced any discomfort whatsoever, and am enjoying the vivid colors thatâ??prior to surgeryâ??I was not able to accurately distinguish. Additionally, preceding surgery I required bifocal progressive lenses in order to see properly. I am now able to see 20/20 without any corrective lenses. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nieto and am so thankful that he is currently practicing in Dubuque, IA.
