Dr. B provided one of the best healthcare experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked into the Eye Care Center, I felt welcomed, heard, and genuinely cared for. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns, thoroughly explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and never made me feel rushed. I truly appreciated how patient, compassionate, and attentive he was throughout my appointment. He also has a wonderful sense of humor that immediately put me at ease and made the entire visit enjoyable. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients and wants them to feel comfortable and confident in their care. Dr. B’s professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and ability to connect with patients made a lasting impression on me. He is an outstanding physician and a wonderful representative of SSM Health. I left my appointment feeling informed, respected, and confident in my care, and I am incredibly grateful for the time, attention, and compassion he showed me.

He was caring and smart

Jan 12, 2026
For some reason, I expected him to be an loder guy, but when he "popped in" ready to get started and asked questions I knew I was in the right place with the right person. My daughter was with me to help with understanding and ask questions as needed and she also felt comfortable with his knowledge and his "people person" attitude!.
