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.

So appreciative and grateful
Everyone I encountered during my visit was warm, friendly, and efficient. There was no un-necessary wait-around time. The staff each had a defined role in the process, and moved me quickly through the visit with respect. Dr Kaiser gave me great confidence and was very kind. His explanations were clear and easily understood. I was sincerely appreciative that I was recommended to his care.

After my ophthalmologist recommended further evaluation, I made an appointment at Mid Atlantic Retina. I’m so fortunate that I was able to work with Dr Kaiser who diagnosed and explained my condition and treatment options. Dr Kaiser took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel comfortable about my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Kaiser for his knowledge ,expertise and professionalism and trust him with the care of my vision.

Somewhat rude and patronizing
I came to his office hoping that Dr Kaiser could at least spend maybe 5-10 minutes with me discussing the problems with my eyes. When I came, there was a woman already scheduled for the SAME TIME with him. I’m not a genius but I’m pretty sure that’s not how appointments with doctors are supposed to work. But it was probably why the appointment was so rushed. He came in, hardly looked at me, interrupted me when I tried to explain my situation, and told me that he couldn’t do anything for me. Now that would have been fine if he had told me kindly and gave me some advice on how to deal with my problems, but it was almost as if he wanted to end the appointment as soon as possible. I wanted to ask him questions and talk about alternative options, but it’s like he interpreted those questions as challenges to his prognosis and intelligence. He spoke to me as if I was a 10 year old son talking back to his father. I don’t think he was in the room for 4 minutes before he rushed out the door.
