I have been a patient of Dr. Marschner for over a decade and I have seen him for yearly check-ups as well as follow-ups for problems. He recently performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes, implanting lenses in my eyes that give me the ability to see close up as well as distance. They work well with my eyes. I feel the doctor is conscientious and personable with often don't come together with doctor. I can highly recommend Dr. Marschner as a caring ophthalmologist. His office is also run well.

I'm surprised I didn't write this sooner. I've used Dr. Marschner these past three years and believe him to be an excellent physician who cares about his patients. I particularly appreciate his compassion, when he saw me promptly due to an emergency. Regarding his staff, well they follow his fine example. They're wonderful too.

My visit with Dr. Marschner was excellent. The staff was so helpful and polite. I had to wait maybe 5 minutes before being seen by there friendly nurse. What a great team they have. They are very efficient and competent! I would never put the care of my eyes any ware else!!!!!
