Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Oster has assisted me through two cataract surgeries, a capsulectomy and several other procedures to address the after-effects of a severe eye injury. I would not want to go to anyone else. She is a skilled surgeon and is friendly, professional and supportive.

Highly Recommended
Dr. Oster is terrific! Her explanation of my choices for cataract surgery was clear, personal and not pressured. She asked about my lifestyle and preferences to help determine the best choice, and was eminently cheerful, attentive, and personable both in the clinic and in the hospital before and after surgery. It has been a month since the surgery for my second eye, and I am extremely pleased with my new multifocal lenses.

Be careful
In my final final cataract post-op, Dr Oster’s assistants did an eye exam for glasses, although I’d told them that I’d made an appointment with my optometrist. Dr Oster said that I did not need a prism and that my previous prescription did not include one. I went to an optometrist, who re-examined me and looked at my previous glasses and prescriptions and found that I needed a vertical prism and had prisms in my past prescriptions. My trust was shaken, and I got a new, revised prescription elsewhere.

Amazing Eye Doctor!!
I had both my cataracts removed by Dr. Oster & have recommended her to my 2 sisters, who had theirs done by her. She’s amazing & she drove all the way back to Buffalo from Mpls the night of my surgery, to help relieve the fluid buildup in my eye. I can’t imagine giving Dr. Oster any review less than a 10!!

It was great working with Dr. Oster! She removed cataracts and implanted multifocal lenses. I've worn glass since I was ten. I NO LONGER NEED GLASSES!!! Dr. Oster was so good at explaining everything to me! I may need cheaters once and a while if I'm reading in dim light! Driving at night is good! I'm so happy with my results! THANK YOU Dr. Oster!

I wore contacts most of my life. had cataract surgery done by Dr Oster one year ago and paid $6000.00 for the supposedly the best implants and expected to see 20/20 or close to it. This isn't the case. I now have to wear regular glasses with bi-focals to see things clear and sharp! what a waste of $6000.00

She removed cataracts from my eyes and implanted multifocal lenses that allow me to see at all distances. She never rushed me. She gave me all the information I needed. And I was very comfortable in a surgery setting that could have been scary. I am already recommending her and the procedure to family and friends. I used the WestHealth office in Plymouth.
