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.

Wonderful Experience
Can't say enough about Dr. Rolfsen. He was patient, informative and office was run very smoothly. Great choice for your eye care.

Terrible and rude staff. I took a 76 year old disabled veteran and he had the appointment time confused and we were 15 minutes late after driving 1 1/2 hours. Lisa said he had to reschedule very abruptly. Another patient waiting because angry about the way I was being treated and became very angry. The doctor stood behind the receptionist area and did nothing to de-escalate the situation. Needless to say he didn’t reschedule his appointment and the other patients left too.

I was referred to Dr. Rolfsen by my family optometrist for a laser capsulotomy after cataract surgery years ago. I am so thankful that my optometrist referred me to Dr. Rolfsen. He was very patient, friendly and thorough, and best of all, I was able to have the procedure done only a few minutes after my exam, after being told by his scheduling staff that my visit today was only and exam. He saved me an extra trip and improved my vision all in one visit. I would recommend him and see him again for any serious eye issue.

Dr. Rolfsen is the best ophthalmologist in Texas. He saved my vision and restored my faith in medicine. His bedside manner was kind and sincere. He took time out of his day to personally call me and check on my recovery. He went beyond his duty to make sure I was well taken care of. And his surgical skills are phenomenal - I had a very complex condition that he completely cured. Thank you, Dr. Rolfsen! You are my blessing.

Dr. Rolfsen is one of the best doctor's I have ever seen. I was afraid to have cataract surgery but he patiently explained the procedure and put my mind at ease. He also called me to see how my eye was doing. He has the perfect blend of friendliness and great professionalism.

Ive had serious issues with my eyes. With there being family history of glaucoma and blindness, I was extremely concerned about my situation. I don't want to bad mouth this physician ; nonetheless, I will say I will never go to Dr Rolfsen again, even if it was for free. I don't like how he spoke to me, how he acted towards me or how I felt after my visit with him. If you NEED HELP, want a physician that will listen and care about you I would NOT advise you see

Dr. Rolfsen did my cataract surgery on both eyes. From the first time I met him I felt comfortable, I completely trusted him to do my surgery. He was so patient and answered every question. I've never had a doctor have that type of patience, most are on a time clock and want to get you in and out. He came and talked to me before each surgery and after both surgeries he called me at home the to make sure I was ok. This is the first review I've ever written for a doctor, that's how great he is.
