Patient Reviews
Oct 21, 2023
First of all, Dr. Wieder is an ophthalmologist not an optometrist. There is a difference, and it helps when individuals prone to review anybody understand the distinction. We took a neighbor whose care we oversee to Dr. Wieder for an assessment of her optic neuritis secondary to demyelinating multiple sclerosis. I found him to be extremely caring, very thoughtful, indeed, engaged in every aspect of her care. I almost felt guilty for all the questions we had. He even looked at her MRI scans and noticed interval, progression of the D myelination. This was very helpful since the neurologist who ordered the study either had no idea what he was looking at, or couldn’t be bothered to provide any sort of assessment, as to interval, progression of the de myelination . Go on forever are the days that it avuncular Marcus Welby type was essentially a jack of all trade, who could manage many aspects of a patient’s care cradle to grave. He is a very respectful gentleman

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
