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.

Truly excellent staff - friendly and efficient.

I most certainly would recommend Dr Otto to friends and family. I had cataract surgery and I was so grateful for his choices for lens for me. I really did not expect to have the clarity in distance, but he somehow made everything right for me. Amazing! His facilities and staff are phenomenal too!

Many changes with the pandemic. Dr Otto will be doing my cataract surgeries. He previously did my eyelids and he has a gentle and light touch. I would recommend him to anyone.

Recent flashes occurred in my left peripheral visual fields. I knew I needed to be seen to be sure there was not retinal tear or detachment. I was able to get an appointment the same day, and Dr. Otto was able to dilate and examine my eyes and determine the situation. I was very pleased that he was able to do this.

Dr Otto was extremely patient focused, discussed options related to his exam and reasonable in treatment. The only thing that could be improved: would be the rush feeling you feel when going from one room to another. Staff is competent but not personable.

He is a quiet man of few words. Gets to the point answers your questions, Doesn't waste his time with small talk. Durning surgury he came in and started right to work. Just did his job with not saying a word to me. Maybe a bit to quiet??
