Verified Patient Reviews
Dr. Engelbert is very affable. His examination is very thorough and he answers all questions fully and clearly. He is very professional in his demeanor and appears very knowledgable and skillful in his profession. I have the utmost respect for his services as a physician.
Went for second opinion on retinal detachment surgery on the following morning. He showed me where the problem was and even provided me with photo printouts.
Despite being in the middle of 2 emergencies, Dr. Engelbert was extremely thorough and took the time to explain my dx to me,discuss my situation, and answer all questions. I highly recommend him. His staff was very upbeat, efficient, and professional.
thorough & caring. took time to answer questions. explained procedures before doing them. talked with me about his findings, using a model of the eye. treated me as an intelligent person -- i.e. did not talk down to me. discussed what needs to be done next. also, receptionist radiates warmth & concern. technician, who saw me before the doctor, was very kind and extremely professional. the only reason i had to wait 15-20 minutes was because another patient had an emergency.
Overall great experience. Wouldn't change a thing.
Dr. Engelbert was great! He was kind, attentive and did a great job explaining what was going on with my eye. I have to come back for another visit and he offered to stay later than he was scheduled for the visit if I needed him to in order to work for my schedule. The wait was long which was my only complaint.
