While there was about a 20 minute wait, I was impressed by the fine orchestration once I was welcomed by the assistant. The people from reception to assistants to Dr. Eidt were all welcoming and took the time to have me feel heard. The care was excellent, and the cost seemed reasonable. Cannot speak highly enough.
He was very friendly, professional and informative! The office was busy but everyone was really friendly and helpful. Great experience overall!

Doctor & support staff were great !
Verified patient
I was very anxious about this appointment but that went away immmediately after I met the individual who started taking my general background and eye exams. I then met dr. Eidt who was one of the most charismatic individuals I've ever met and made me feel comfortable immediately. He took his time and asked questions and made a stressful appointment very easy. I could not be more impressed or pleased and am very happy with my experience
Verified patient
Was pleased with his answers and recommendations.
Verified patient
The desk staff were friendly, but it was a long wait. The doctor kept interrupting me as I tried to describe my symptoms, and it was kind of a waste of my time to even come here.
He was very professional and thorough.
Verified patient
This is a top notch business. Friendly, courteous and efficient . They could teach lessons on customer service. Keep up the good work!
Verified patient
Dr. Eidt was one of the best doctors I have ever been to. Very clear, concise explanation of my symptoms and treatment options. Would highly recommend him to any and all.
Verified patient
What a fun and charismatic doctor. A great example of intentional, well-trained bedside manner. He told me what he was doing and was very gentle. Would you believe it, he has very cool eyes too.
It was good. Dr sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Wait time was long because they had stated their computers were down.
Steven has EXCELLENT rapport with patients, is very easy with questions, and will not make you feel rushed. Explanations are clear/well focused and analogies are used to clarify. When I was finished with my 1st visit, just recently (11-13-15), I walked out so satisfied I'd found an eye-doctor to keep, and send my family to. Dr. Eidt's assistant "Katie", is amazing. Personable, erudite, and explains things so very thoroughly. Both Dr. & Asst. are empathic, kind people, and Katie, as I mentioned, make a team you cannot beat for eye care! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Will suggest practice to friends and colleagues, family is already directed to Dr. Eidt.
Verified patient

Very nice doctor.
Verified patient
Very professional doctor and staff.
Everything was fine except for the Tech, Zoe. Her hands smelled like cigarettes, and it was very strong. She should have washed her hands very well before seeing me. I left the office with a migraine. She was a rough in the way she conducted her conversation with me. She spilled eye drops on my face. Not a very gentle person. Other than that, Dr. Eidt, the other tech, and the receptionist were so nice.
Great doctor!

He was great, but the wait was pretty bad. All in all, I was there for 2 hours. It was very busy. The eye glasses selection was also somewhat limited.
