Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Eichler?
Dedicated, skilled, and excellent doctor; can't say enough how how grateful I am! He saw me on a holiday weekend and scheduled and performed emergency surgery the very next day (4th of July!) for a retinal detachment in one eye and saved my eyesight! This was the third surgery he performed on my eyes, over the span of several years, all with excellent results. Previously, he performed pars plana vitrectomies on both eyes for macular pucker.
