Sarah Haseltine Van Tassel, MD

I cannot say enough about Dr. Sarah Haseltine Van Tassel and the care she has provided me throughout my journey with glaucoma. When my eye problems became serious, my pressures had risen to dangerously high levels—in the 30s—and I was facing the very real concern of losing vision from glaucoma. It was an extremely stressful time for me and my family. Dr. Van Tassel carefully followed my condition, adjusted treatment when necessary, and ultimately guided me through glaucoma surgery when medication and other treatments were no longer enough. What has impressed me throughout this entire experience is not only Dr. Van Tassel’s knowledge and surgical expertise, but also her commitment to protecting my vision for the long term. Glaucoma is something that requires constant monitoring, and I have always felt that she takes every pressure reading, visual field test, and change in my condition seriously. The difference from where I started to where I am today is remarkable. At my most recent… visit, my eye pressure was 19 in both eyes, and my visual field testing was interpreted as stable in both eyes. After everything that has happened, hearing the word “stable” means a great deal to me. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Van Tassel and her entire team for getting me through a very difficult period and continuing to carefully monitor my glaucoma. When you are dealing with something as precious as your eyesight, you want a physician who is knowledgeable, skilled, thorough, and genuinely committed to preserving your vision. That has been my experience with Dr. Van Tassel. I highly recommend her and am very thankful to have her as my glaucoma specialist.

Dr Van Tassel is extraordinarily good at all facets of her profession. Every time I see her, and her wonderful team members, I am always grateful that she is my ophthalmologist!!!

Brilliant professional! Dr. Van Tassel is a wonderful ophthalmologist and of course she’s also a professor! She gave me an excellent eye exam as did her technician. I highly recommend her to everyone regardless of their eye issues because she has many areas of expertise. She performed my cataract surgery in both eyes and I’m pleased with it . I’m sure she would be a wonderful physician for you also. Barbara T.

I have been a patient of Dr Van Tassel for some years now and am more than satisfied with the care I have received. She operated on my cataracts and maintained my long vision for me, which was very important to me. Her whole team works together very well and makes the visit very pleasant. The facility is also first rate with the latest equipment. I thoroughly recommend Dr Van Tassel.

Dr Van Tassel preformed my cataract surgery. I was a little apprehensive about it but when I met her she put me at ease with her warmth and compassionate understanding of my uneasiness Dr Van Tassel took time to answer all my questions clearly and in detail She did not make me feel rushed. Presently I see Dr Van Tassel for follow up appointments. She is very through, before seeing me she has me going through a battery of tests so she can determine how my surgery is proceeding. Then when I see her in her office, she takes the time to answer all my questions and explains each one clearly. I give Dr Van Tassel my highest recommendation Marilyn Dismond

Wonderful doctor. She is supported by a great staff and resident. Dr. Van Tassel pulls it all together- theoretical knowledge, practical skills, precise analyses, all combined with an empathetic character. I feel very lucky to have found her practice.

I’ve said it before on various evaluation websites that Dr. Van Tassel is a superb ophthalmologist. Besides the extensive range of her medical and surgical competencies, she and her team are thorough, insightful, kind, and always available. I recommend Dr Van Tassel and her team without any reservations whatsoever!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Van Tassel. She performed cataract surgery for my mother and gave us such peace of mind throughout the entire process. She is patient, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. We feel very lucky to have found her!
