Dr. Michael Herion, MD

During my first appointment for cataracts, after tests were done, he actually refused to let me ask questions. Who does that ??? It may have been over something rather petty involving a misunderstanding/confusion with a back office staff employee some days prior. That had been peacefully resolved though and I had no ill will. But management had got involved, so I assume he knew about it. If that WAS the reason he was unprofessional towards me, it doesn't make him look very good. In any case, his office manager said later when I called that he ALWAYS answers questions. She seemed shocked or disbelieving. So there you have it. He doesn't normally refuse to answer questions, but that's how he treated me, and without explanation. Of course I decided not to return.

Dr Herion treated me with cataract surgery for both eyes. I was extremely nervous and concerned about my condition as I had delayed surgery due to Covid. He was extremely caring and very patient with me, answered all my questions with care. He never rushed me and was very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Herion and Carrot Eye Center.

I have been a Cameraman / Photographer my whole life. My sight is my business so I must trust my vision to someone who is duly qualified and explains all procedures before moving ahead. The man has no ego to satisfy. His only satisfaction is a happy patient with good vision. It is because of this that I take my entire family to him and have recommended 5 patients who now use him and have also followed him from the other practice. Why would anyone want to lose such a gem? Today was the first day visiting his new office with my family. As always it was an enjoyable, pleasant experience. With his state of the are equipment in most cases you will not have to deal with those annoying drops that sting and dilate your eyes. Everything is electronic. I was impressed. You will be also. Give them a try. You won't be sorry Tell them Jeff sent you!

Outstanding care! Great personality!! Caring, thoughtful, and professional!! Will follow him wherever he goes. He saved my vision!!

Dr Herion is no longer with Swagel Wooten. He is in private practice at1500 S Dobson, Mess. 480 712 0007. Highly recommend.

Swagel does not allow insurance for laser surgery for cataracts....you have to pay $1900 per eye but if you want the knife it's covered.....but they won't tell you this until you schedule for surgery

Very efficient staff.

Outstanding care from the entire staff.

I like the care I get.

Very pleased, Excellent.

Too long of a waiting Time to see the Tech/Dr.

The surgery was successful on my left eye and I love seeing again. However, I was disappointed with the immediate follow up care. After being told all was well I sought a second opinion. Dr. Carlson, an optometrist, determined I was suffering from macular edema and referred me back to Swagel Wootton for treatment. Dr. Herion was great and corrected the problem. My second surgery for the right eye is scheduled in March.

Dr. Herion made me feel comfortable during my visit and answered all my questions.

I highly, recommend, Doctor Michael A. Herion...very professional, knowledgeable and caring doctor...the very BEST in his field...5 STAR!!!

Dr. Herion did a great job on my Yag laser surgery! I pride myself on not wearing glasses at my age and enjoy the freedom of this luxury.

He closed wrong vein and the vein i needed closed was never closed even though he kept telling me it is. Emergency room visits told me otherwise i kept getting superficial blood clots and the ultrasound techs all say it is not closed. Pain pain pain hurts so bad. Stay away just made things worse. I should have never believed them. He is an eye dr practicing laser vein closings scary.

Dr. Herion is the BEST. He treats me for glaucoma and he just now in June of 20018 removed cataracts from both my eyes. He is very kind, friendly, and very patient . H e listens and he is a down to earth guy.

Amazing. I can see again and see brilliantly. Professional, nice, very clean (sterile) environment. It's where i know i can trust and will go for any future eye care.

Dr.Herion is really good at explaining things to people. The office stafff is friendly and helpful.
