Thanks to Dr Wirthlin my right eye went from basically dysfunctional to a brand new functioning eye. I hadn’t been able to read for more than 15 minutes, but I started reading the day after surgery. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Very informative, explains everything and makes you feel confident in his ability to correct any eye issues that you have. I didn’t feel like I was being pushed into a surgery procedure before attempting an alternative approach.

Dr. Wirthlin was thorough, knowledgeable, and took time for discussion of my eye issues. I was impressed that he talked about the impact of nutrition on eye health.

Scheduler said I could not book next appointment before one year or insurance would not cover it, but sometimes I come every 6 months, and it is paid. I will need to check on this.

He answered my questions where I can understand them. Very friendly. I like him.

Irena is awsome.

He�s the best. Gave me options with full explanations of the risks involved and how certain procedures and treatments would help me.

Oct 1, 2025
I don't like being called into the exam room, and then being sent back out to the lobby again to wait some more, after waiting a long time already to see the doc.

Oct 1, 2025
Waiting for him takes sometimes as much as 2 hours that's a too long waiting time something needs to be done for rescheduling times to be compatible with his emergency runs hospital runs whatever it's too long to sit waiting for him however I do like this doctor send yes

Easy

The doctor and his assistants are always very pleasant and informative. Most of the front desk workers are welcoming. This time I was seen in a more timely manner which was WONDERFUL and greatly appreciated!!!

Everyone was nice. The eye tech that did my dilation and the scribe with Dr Wirthlin were kind and personable. My only suggestion/critique is no one introduced themselves (besides Dr. Wirthlin). The first eye tech didn�t explain what she was doing or why. I don�t have any idea about eye stuff - I would have loved to know why I was looking into a machine with blue targets. But they were all nice!!

I left with confidence Dr. Wirthlin was right doc for my repair.

Sep 1, 2025
Dr. Wirthlin is always making sure that I am comfortable getting infections in my eyes, and goes that extra mile to make sure I feel no pain in the process.

Sep 1, 2025
Dr Wirthlin was very thorough and asked alot of questions to understand exactly what issues I may have been experiencing. I left reassured and hopeful my eyes would improve greatly

This blew me away! My previous experience with retinal consultant was to sit in a waiting room for an hour after dilation waiting to see the ophthalmologist. I loved my experience here.

Don't remember name. I have watched the girls clean the machines with wipes and it's a good thing.
