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.

He is definitely the best!
Dr. Behler is without a doubt the most brilliant and talented ophthalmologist in the area. He takes time to make sure you understand what is happening with your eyes and performs any necessary procedures meticulously. Because he talks fast sometimes you have to ask him to slow down or repeat what he has said but he does so graciously. An excellent physician.

Dr. Behler is amazing! From start to finish he and his staff were excellent. Jane was great in explaining the procedure and recovery process and Angie was very friendly and comforting on the initial exam. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Behler!!!!!!!!!!! From barely able to see in one eye to 20/20 vision I am very grateful.

A friend recommended Dr. Behler to me, and after my own excellent results with him, I have recommended him to others who are also highly satisfied. His knowledge and skill make him an excellent ophthalmologist and eye surgeon. His outstanding staff makes scheduling appointments, handling insurance, getting questions to the nurse easy. I love the results of my cataract surgeries and recommend him highly.

I highly recommend Dr. Behler and the BehIer Eye and Laser Center. Unlike the facility that took care of my husband's cataract surgery, which was just too much-- there were greeters and guides to assist you as you navigated their elaborate facility, Dr. Behler's is a comfortable facility with kind helpful staff that seems to take a great personal interest in your care.

Outstanding! My experience was stellar! I can see again and it is amazing! The office staff were polite, professional and accommodating. I don't see wait time as a relevant concern, this isn't fast food it it eye care by a premier physician! I should be honored to wait.

I have gone to Dr. Behler for 12+ years and have always gotten impeccable service. When I decided to have Laser vision correction, I spoke to local physicians, looked at the research on different procedures and decided on Dr. Behler. Dr. Behler, Jane and the rest of his staff have always been friendly and willing to answer my questions. I have always found his equipment and surgery room immaculate. I highly recommend Dr. Behler and have done so many times.
