EXCELLENT SURGEON Dr. Heimmel's surgery skill is unparalleled. He managed to flawlessly and effortlessly performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes with impeccable outcome, even with multiple issues complicating the surgery, s.a. corneal scarring and VERY advanced age at the time of surgery. To make the experience completely perfect, I find that his compassionate nature shines through consistently in each and every one of my visits. With his accomodating and personable office staff, one naturally feels very lucky having found him in obvious time of need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Doctor.

Dr. Heimmel is an honest and highly skilled ophthalmologist. He truly cares for his patients and performed top level cataract surgery on both my eyes. I healed almost instantly with each surgery and would never hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. I'm seeing very clearly now thanks to his expertise.

The office is modern and clean. The staff are actually kind and helpful. Cataract surgery went very smooth and it helped my glaucoma as well. Thanks Dr. Heimmel!

Dr. Heimmel was recommended by me by a few friends. He performed my cataract surgery, and I chose to go with a premium lens called Panoptix (I believe). This was the best decision I could have made. I see better now than I did in my 20s!

We trust Dr. Heimmel with our entire family from my grandparents on down. Every procedure (and there have been a lot) is done meticulously and perfectly. Cannot recommend enough.

Dr.Heimmel and his nursing staff are excellent. The office workers at the surgery center, however, are rude and obnoxious. Unfortunately, this behavior casts an unwelcome pall over Dr. Heimmel's truly professional medical practice.
