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.

Dr. Strinden is an incredibly talented and caring doctor, he implanted one of the new Synergy lenses for me during my cataract surgery and I couldn't be happier. I was a little nervous at first but Dr. Strinden and his team were so knowledgeable and really took the time to answer all of my questions. I'm so grateful that they recommended a premium lens for me, as I live an active lifestyle and the freedom from glasses has been so liberating. Colors are brighter and more vivid, and I can see my grandkids smile without the need for glasses. The added cost was well worth the dramatic improvement in my life. Thank you Dr. Strinden! I recommend Dr. Strinden and the premium implants he provides to all of my friends who think they may need cataract surgery.

Thank you to Dr Strinden and his staff on my recent cataract surgery. Hands down the place to go! He and his team have a stellar reputation for a reason - from start to finish the process was easy and I always felt informed and comfortable. They presented the options impartially to me and I’m glad I selected the premium option. The ability to read without glasses is amazing after many years of using cheaters! I will recommend Dr Strinden and the Bagan Strinden Vision team to everyone I know.

Dr. Strinden is thorough and really takes the time to explain everything to his patients. My wife and I have benefited from this personally. We both had cataract surgery from him earlier this year and it went off without a hitch. Thanks to the type of lens he put in, I can now drive at night and read without glasses, crazy! Dr. Strinden and his staff have a lot to be proud of, they run a fine operation.

Dr. Strinden performed my eyelid surgery and did an incredible job. I seriously look 20 years younger! He has an eye for detail and it shows, I wouldn't trust cosmetic surgery on my face to anyone else in the area.

My whole family loves Dr. Strinden! He is such a kind, talented man. I could not love my LASIK results more and my mom's life changed when Dr. Tom and his team did cataract surgery on her last year. We're just so blessed to have found him.

I had LASIK surgery from Dr. Strinden last month and it changed my life. I'm now able to see perfectly without any glasses or contacts, saving me a lot of money! I'm so grateful for Dr. Strinden and his staff for improving my vision. I only have one regret: not giving myself this gift sooner!

My dad had cataract surgery from Dr. Strinden last month and it was so incredible. Dad doesn't normally handle surgery or doctor's visits well but Dr. Strinden and his staff were able make him feel comfortable and confident about the procedure. They are truly gifted! We are so grateful for Dr. Tom and his whole team.

Dr. Strinden did both my husband's and my LASIK surgeries this past summer. Both of us are so happy with the results. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner! He was very good about making sure I was comfortable and explaining everything clearly for me. The whole process was so quick, easy and painless. If you are considering LASIK, do it! It's life changing.

Incredibly talented surgeon. My LASIK results have been incredible and my grandmothers cataract surgery went well and gave her the results she was after. We couldn't be happier!

Dr. Strinden provided the best care possible for both myself and my mother. I had LASIK done by Dr. Strinden a few years ago and the results have been incredible, and then my mom had cataract surgery a few weeks ago and cannot believe the results. We love coming to Dr. Strinden and are so grateful for his kindness and talent.
