Everything

Great doctor & knowledgable staff. Plenty of reminders for the appointment time

I was very disappointed in the length of my appointment. I didn't even have a refraction and I was there for over 1 1/2 hours. My eyes had to be dilated and I sat for 45 minutes after dilation before seeing the doctor for all of five minutes. The first young lady to do the glaucoma test was very new to the job and should have been shadowing instead of on her own in my opinion. I havd hone her for ten years but am considering a change befoynext year's appt. it is apparent that they book too close together and a large staff turn over.

Good

It was a great experience! Thanks.

Prompt call in. Reminders were helpful, buy probably don't need so many.

Front Office help was the best! Back room assistant that I talked with was the best! After the assistant left I fell asleep wating in the chair - should have looked at the time cause seemed over one hour I was waiting to be seen by the eye guy waiting in that chair. Was not too impressed that he could not take the time to listen nor did he brief the notes in my record before he made his presence and then he left in a flash.. I told the eye guy I have been having daily pain in my left eye and lirritation / thought I could have gotten something for my eye pain and irritation.

Very very happy with care and have given rave review to evetyone

From the moment I walked into the office I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the level of customer service. The modern design was a nice touch as well.

I was given an overall great experience.

Dr. Miller was very thurough and insightful. Staff very courteous, efficient, and knew what they were doing.

Saw Michael for an annual review of my hearing. He answered all my questions, and after a hearing test, adjusted my hearing aids. He also solved a problem of the short plastic piece. Very satisfying visit.

All the staff were wonderful very informative and helpful

It was an exceptional experience. Friendly and professional staff, clean and prompt service.

Everyone was courteous and knowledgeable. Eye exam and recommendations were most helpful.

I love the personnel at the office and Dr Z did a great job on my eyes but I do believe that my wait in the office was overly excessive. My appointment was at 210pm and I didn't leave until 330 pm most of my wait time was for someone to remove my eye stitches. I almost needed to reschedule as I had to be somewhere else st 4 pm.

Your office and staff are very kind, organized and professional. We are very impressed and would highly recommend. Thank you.

Nice , professional without a long wait. Appreciated good advice. Thank you. Would recommend to others.

Betty and Malin are awesome! They made me feel very comfortable with the whole procedure and I’m looking forward to seeing them on my follow up appointment!

Very good.

Excellent attention to detail on intake. Exam quick and easy. Was somewhat put off by brevity of doctor’s visit; don’t know if he even reviewed exam results; did not examine my eyes at all. Reassured me, then quickly moved on to talk about available surgery/necessity of cataract surgery. Aside from that, staff provided moral/fiscal support by providing me info on City senior transport at 1/5 what I’d paid to get to Clinic that day. My thanks for their thoughtfulness!!

Thanks. The team took good care of me.

EVERYONE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL. MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED AND EXPLAINED TO ME IN DETAIL.

Prompt, courteous exam and answered all questions and took your time to do so.

Lasers in my right eye.

Great service. Friendly people. Nice place

Friendly staff from check in to check out

Very professional, knowledgible, and kind.

Annual checkup. Would appreciate staff's names and smiles so I don't feel like they are robots. Everything else was great.

Excellent treatment by everyone.

Very grateful you went out of your way to accomodate an emergency eye infection. Thank you for all you did for us.

Always a pleasant experience with Dr. Fanta and staff.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My biggest problem is getting my husband's wheelchair up the ramp, as I can no longer do it myself. I had hoped that when you moved, it would be to a location with easy access, as the location by Marian was not exactly confidence-inspiring (the elevator) and we were frequently shunted around from floor to floor. The new location is an improvement, at least.

Everything

Great staff, communications well, and made me feel comfortable when I had to get plugs in my eyes.

Excellent exam but the waiting time from work up to seeing dr was long.

Everything,staff was great, I was a few minutes late, didn't seem to matter. Very good customer service.

The injection and did it wait long

Dr. Bylsma is fantastic. However, the wait times are very, very long before even being seen by anyone. That part is hard for not only me, but for the person who drives me to the appt. Can something be done to alleviate some of the waiting time?

Every one was very caring since I am 1 and hard for me to get around. I have been going to Shepherd Eye for many years now and have had some surgeries there. Congratulations to all your staff all very helpful and extremely nice.

Friendly service. Any questions that were made were answered clearly and had helpful information in regards to my visit.

Assistant who took me back and did some of the testing was very kind and such a compassionate person.

Very friendly and helpful

Marian is a wonderful and kind employee. She was sweet and efficient!!

Willing to tighten the screw in my glasses because my optometrist was closed. I have changed to Sheperd Eye for this very reason.

Good experiance, nice understandive staff.

Great customer service!

Tool me in on my prescribed time.

Planned. For eye lid and lower lid surgery

Dr Goodman was great. The staff continues to call me Henry when my chart says to call me WAYNE!

Reception people organized and friendly. Doctor very positive and informative. Doctor didn't rush, gave me lots of his time. My first visit was considered serious enough that they booked an appointment immediately after my optometrist called. I am very appreciative. Thanks for all you do!

Staff is always friendly

Was fine

Friendly yet very professional staff.

Technically, the business went well. However, I didn't get a chance to discuss my strabismus problem very much with the doctor. Also, some of the girls doing the routine examination work seemed cold and unfriendly. I am still facing decisions about my strabismus problem and don't really know what to do.

Very professional pre surgery visit. Assistant s all seemed to know what they were doing. Impressive equipment.

Nice and friendly steff they make you feel welcome

I thought the appointment was to check my hearing, however it was only a cleaning. cost me a round trip from Solvang, and 1 1/2 Hours time.

Good

As always I was greeted with a welcoming hello. My wait time was less than 15 minutes prior to scheduled appointment time. Dr. Dan,was courteous, professional and caring. He answered my squesrions and explained the steps to be taken during the procedure. It made my visit very comfortable and I am always glad to recommend Shepard Eye the place to go to for great care and service

Good, knowledgeable employees, very professional too

I really appreciate how quickly they I was seen. Especially since I had another appointment to get to. Sraff was friendly and professional.

Best advice I could give you would be too have more than one person that handles contact lenses. Many times I have had to wait in office or for a call back to deal with my contacts. The woman in charge is super helpful and friendly you just need someone else there that can help as well.

Took one hour from beginning to end

Everyone was very professional.

Very helpful and friendly

I got several email and texts reminding me of myself appointment and then had to wait 45 min when I got there.

Everything was great! Even thoe I was late for my app , the receptionist Called me in less than 10 min the nurse assured me that the test will have no pain and just a little uncomfortable! I like Dr Zarnegar , I know him for a long time , he is very profesional and trustful ! Thanks Eye Sheppard Center!

Timely appt. welcomed appreciation for not having to wait in any parts of the appt.

Good. Took a bit longer than I expected

.

Friendly staff confidence with doctor and test performed. Scheduling not the best waited over 30 minutes to be called back then waited in room for doctor for another 30 minutes. Hope next time I go the wait won't be so long.

Customer service

Good service. Like my doctor

Very well run clinic with friendly staff.

I really like the doctor, but I think your staff - pretty much all of them - are somewhat rude.

Beautiful facility, welcoming smiles and attitudes. Caring professionals listening to my concerns and give explanations to questions asked. Never felted rushed through any of the process. A noticeable difference from my last visit. Thank you

Very efficient staff

Nice and very helpful

Staff courteous, friendly and efficient. Dealt with 2 different Dr and they listened and responded to my needs.

It was all good

Everyone was very professional and nice. Not much wait time at all and DR. B was so considerate. He fixed my eye up like new and now I feel great. I recommend Shepard Eye center if you have any vision or eyelid issues at all!

.

Great hearing specialist

It was all good and professional!

The service was great

Your staff is very professional and easy to understand. Very informative staff and explains all procedures before exams.

Everyone there is so courteous you don't have to wait long for your appointment. Knowledgeable very helpful.

The service and care were excellent!

Everyone at Shepard Eye Center has been friendly and professional!

I really liked the experience , everyone was great.

Very pleasantly welcomed upon arrival. The receptionist was very efficient in taking care of each arriving client. Did not have to wait long: delays happen in life, so on-time appointments are a bonus. I enjoyed meeting each technician, and of course, it is always great to see Dr. Z!

The thoroughness of my exam was deeply appreciated. The prescription I received was totally different from the one I have and I can hardly wait to order a new set of glasses.

The front office staff was very friendly and efficient; the gentleman who prepped me for Dr. Bylsma was very nice and seemed well-versed in his job, but I felt it was a very long appointment to be seen by the doctor for what seemed only to be about five to 10 minutes, or so. I was there for almost an hour and a half because of dilation...In fact, without calling, I have no idea if my prescription changed and by how much, other than maybe increased strength for reading. I was told that there weren't any problems though... I just left feeling the doctor was in a hurry..,

Was cooperative and very nice service. Excellent staff

Kind expert and detail oriented. I felt safe during surgery and pre and post

Thanks everyone was very good and kind

Excellent care! However, three text messages and one telephone call to remind me of the appointment is excessive. Ed Wenglowski

They took the time with me and I like the service

Good experience in an otherwise trying time.

You did good, a lot of information and a big decision. Plus logistics and finances to work out. Not to mention the ouch factor and the what ifs.

The dr was smiling a lot more which is a good thing. Marie (?) was very helpful. Did they know review was coming up? Haha I'm not complaining.

Excellent care
