Very professional doctors and staff.

Dr. Marc Michelson and staff are absolutely outstanding! Didn’t have an appointment, but walked in because my right eye was hurting! He saw me immediately and made me an appointment with Dr. Morris, my retina doctor! The entire practice is always responsive, professional and attentive to the patient! I couldn’t recommend them any stronger! He is the perfect Opthamologist!

Dr Jennifer Michelson inserted the Hyaluronic plugs in my eyes to help with dry eyes. After trying some of the new dry eye drops, she encouraged me to try the plugs.
So far, they have worked wonders for my eyes.

My experience was awesome! Dr Jennifer Michaelson did the procedure. She talked me through options, calmed my nervousness about the procedure, checked in with me before the procedure. And followed up with me later in the afternoon. Everyone I came into contact with at the Eye Center was terrific, polite, and professional.

Excellent Service!!! The best experience of Eye Care that I can say that I left feeling truly confident in getting my cataract surgery.Dr. Michaelson and his staff are so professional yet modest in relating to you on a comforting level. Dr.M.answered questions and was very patient with me which is very important. I highly recommend anyone who needs genuine Eye Care/Cataract Concerns, please call Alabama Eye & Cataract Center and ask for Dr. Michaelson whom I was highly pleased with.

I can’t say enough good things about Alabama Eye & Cataract and Dr. Jennifer Michelson. They were able to see me for a consultation pretty quickly, were very thorough in their testing, and really spent a fair amount of time discussing my treatment plan for a complicated cataract surgery. I felt very comfortable with the entire process and highly recommend them.

The doctor and his office staff are amazing. He explained everything to put me at ease about surgery. During surgery he continued to talk to me and explain what was happening as he was working.
The office staff is absolutely the best group of people that have ever welcomed me into and office. My wait time was minimum. They all wanted to be in the office doing their jobs. That made them very helpful and nice. If I ever need additional eye care, will certainly return. I appreciated them doing an extra check on my eyes after the surgery to make sure my pressure eye drops were working. Best office group , best doctor ever.
Thank you
