"OPTHMALOGIST AND THEN SOME" Dr. Teather is as professional as professionalism can get. I have been a patient of Dr. Teather for many, many years and I am still a patient and a very pleased one. His knowledge exceeds the word knowledge. He makes one very so very satisfied with his treating one's problems and does what one does. I have very serious eye problems with my eyes and Dr.Teather has been controlling and preventing any further complications with my problem. If anyone seeking a "TOP CARING RESPONSIBLE OPTHMALOGIST" who really cares for his patients, I say you will be very pleased and thankful you chose Dr. Teather….."PERIOD"!

He is the only doctor that was able to come up with a way to finally help me with my dry eyes. I have been so relieved. I am very thankful for his thoroughness and empathy with what I have been going through.

We are so thankful we found him. My 3 year old had a problem that his other doctor didn't know what it was. Dr. Teather saw him and helped us get him an MRI and he was so calming to us through all of this. I am so grateful for that he was able to tell us what the problem was finally, when our other doctor didn't know. He sees fine now and loves Dr. Teather too.

So thankful. My pediatrician sent us there for my son. He was 3 and he had to have an MRI and Dr. Teather was so calming and made all the calls so we could get this done and find out what the problem was finally. He got us through this and figured out what this unusual condittion was and has been taking care of him ever since and now he sees fine. Don't waste your time with any other doctor.

My wife and I went to see Dr. Teather yesterday, and we were very pleased with the whole experience. From making a fast appointment, the receptionist, the intake nurse, and to Dr. Teather himself; it was an absolute pleasure. Dr. Teather took his time (estimated 15-20 minutes) explaining the complications, and the plan for getting her vision double vision back to normal. We both highly recommend Dr. Teather.

Dr. Teather has been treating me for almost 5 years and I find him to be very professional, personal and very caring . I have had two successful surgeries for cataracts and would recommend him very highly. He is board certified and well educated and takes time to be sure I understood what and how I was to be treated. He has always kept a tight schedule and in almost 5 years of treatment I have only once had to wait more than 30 minutes past my appointment time.

Dilated both kids eyes and then proceeded to re-schedule the exam despite arriving early for the appointment per his staff's request. Not going back.
