I came as a patient for the past nine years, and received treatments which saved my eye sight. Dr. Saxe is Board Certified and treats her patients with dignity while directing their treatment protocols. My wife is a patient of her's, as well and we recommended other patients to her practice.

I went to Dr. Saxe for removal of cataracts. After surgery I was near-sighted in one eye and far sighted in the other. I was told that a miscalculation was made and that I was more near-sighted in one eye than what was thought. Consequently the accurate replacement len was not prescribed. As far as I'm concerned, my surgery was botched!!!

I saw Dr.Saxe at the Homewood office. I am a senior citizen and needed an over due eye exam. The staff is courteous, pleasant and so helpful. They made me feel as if I knew them forever!!!Dr.Saxe is very personable and knowledgable. She spent time with me explaining everything she was going to do and why. I wish she could be my primary care doctor!!
