Dr. Neahring was prompt and professional and could see how much I want to have my cataract removed before year’s end and is working on it. The entire staff I met with was commendable.

My grandmother recommended Dr. Neahring years ago. My mother went to him. I go to him. My daughter sees him. That whole team at the eye care clinic are amazing! Dr. Neahring is on top of it with my diabetes, always checking and explaining things about my eyes. Everyone there makes me feel at ease and well taken care of! I have gone there for years and would highly recommend!!

Made an appointment and had to wait 3 weeks to get in and then the day before the doctor had to cancel due to an outside appointment. Rescheduled for 2 weeks later thrpen they called and canceled that one for the same reason so I rescheduled again and then they called the day before the appointment and canceled again.
