“Dr Kamerling is my favorite eye doctor I've ever had. His speech is dry, but his knowledge is plentiful. I personally prefer this to someone who is cheerful and wanting to talk about the weather. He's straight and to the point. And if I can say a joke, and he cracks a smile, it makes my day. I never wrote a review for him before because I know some people may prefer the peppy-type of bedside manner. But I'm sure there are plenty people like me that don't feel like forcing a smile or talk about the humidity in Summer. If you want a good doctor who is chill and all about the facts, he's your man. ”

Great doctor. As a physician myself I appreciated how thorough he was, his bedside manner was amazing & the way he explained everything was exemplary.
November 24, 2022Varun V.Verified patient
I was very happy with my experience with Dr. Joseph Kamerling! I needed an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a second opinion within a certain time frame, because I was having "buyer's remorse" about an eye surgery I had scheduled, and Zocdoc found Dr. Kamerling for me. He had an opening the following day so I grabbed it! Dr. Kamerling gave me a thorough eye exam and patiently answered all my questions! As a result, I was able to make a decision about my upcoming surgery that I felt confident about! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kamerling to a friend or family member!
October 14, 2022Susan R.Verified patient
Great visit. Dr. Listened to my concerns and spent time with me, explaining everything in a way I could understand. Highly recommend.

I chose an ophthalmologist this time because I wanted a more thorough eye exam than I had recieved from chain optometrists and I was not disappointed. Definitely a positive and productive experience.

I was seeing an eye doctor who said I was pre-glaucoma and I wanted a second opinion. I saw Dr. Kamerling yesterday, and he used much more high tech, up-to-date equipment that gets more accurate results, and he let me know that I am, in fact, NOT pre-glaucoma and the other doctor was wrong!!! I'm so glad I was able to get a second opinion and so glad I found Dr. Kamerling!! He's a great listener, and I highly recommend!
August 27, 2021Melissa G.Verified patient
The staff are really nice, and the doctor is very straight forward and to the point. He is efficient and answered all my questions.
June 16, 2021Lydia K.Verified patient
As a 50 year old former U S Marine I found my experience with Dr Kamerling and his ENTIRE staff 110% professional and satisfying. His staff was very compassionate and professional explaining everything they were doing and the instruments they were using and Dr Kamerling was a " blunt , to the point straight shooter " who didn't passify me or " sugar coat " anything . He actually scolded me for not getting an examination or adhering to medical advice regarding my vision earlier in life. So if you're looking for a no bs approach to your vision care he is your man . I would HIGHLY recommend his office to ANYONE. The onsite staff even contacted my insurance provider and showed me all of the frames that were covered and a detailed list of co-pay options available to me. I would give this office 6 out of 5 stars !!!!!

The office was busy and this was my first appointment with him for a fairly complicated situation, so he seemed a bit distracted. Overall he seemed caring and knowledgeable and well equipped. My follow-up in one month should inform me more. Pat M.

I saw Dr. Khawar, who I was informed was the doctor who handled contact lens wearers. She was very nice and professional and the appointment was fast.
My only criticism would be that I was not warned that my eyes would get several drops that would blur my vision. If I had known, I would have scheduled my appointment later in the date.
