Dr. Theobald's team were all very professional & kind. He took the time to make sure all my questions were addressed and that I understood my diagnosis, and the scheduling of my Cataract surgery, is made for July ,which works great for me. Having to juggle appointments between myself & my fiance, gave me enough time to make sure we were free. I would definitely recommend Dr. Theobald and the practice to anyone who will listen.

I live a hour away but wanted to see a doctor with great ratings as Dr Theobald's, and could get an appointment soon. I wasn't disappointed, front staff was friendly but boy the technician that took care of me and did all the testing was great. She was very friendly, very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and did a really through evaluation. Dr. Theobald took time and explain what was going on with my vision and laid out possible options. He explained some future concern and solutions that help put me at ease. Thank you!

I was pleased to get the appointment as soon as possible, knowing the emergency situation I was in due to high Eye pressure. The staff were kind and professional and answered my questions sincerely. The doctor was very kind and answered my questions with empathy and concern. Have been my Eye doctor for over 7 years. That is a testament to his excellent service. Thanks Doctor Theobald
