Vibe of the office just felt a little off. Front desk check in felt off.
Doctor did a fine job though.

Pushy sales person - Dianna Kattengell was a satisfactory OD but she didnt tell me much about my eye exam, I had to ask and I still didnt get much info. The office seems to operate by selling glasses and that is what they were pushing on me, not letting me know about my vision or the outcome of the exam.
Unless you need new glasses and want whatever deal they will get you on them go to someone who cares about you an your vision.
February 8, 2023Renee M.Verified patient

This was my first time seeing Dr. Kattengell; she was very nice, she answered all my random vision questions and the appointment was smooth and easy. I highly recommend her.
February 5, 2022Ashleigh H.Verified patient
Dr. K was amazing! She talked me through everything that she was doing so I could understand what was happening and why. She's very nice and wants what's best for her patients :)
January 23, 2022Hannah R.Verified patient
This is a new owner of the practice. I have gone to Dr. John Elman for 35 years. She is still getting her office set up, she was able to locate my prior records.
My only negative comment is that I paid more for the new sunglasses than I was expecting. I might have chosen glasses that were not completely covered by my insurance and the standard co-pay.
