Patient Reviews
May 21, 2023
I would like to express my personal thanks and appreciativeness to Ophthalmic Consultants of the Capital Region (Clifton Park and Troy Offices) for their outstanding efforts associated with my diagnosis, pre-surgical preparation, actual surgical execution and post-surgical care associated with my cataract surgery on 24 JANUARY 2023 that involved the placement of a Light Adjustment Lens (LAL). Commencing with Dr. Allen Zieker’s diagnosis and precision surgical execution, to post-op care to include eye (LAL) adjustment and refinement that at the conclusion, far exceeded my expectations and restored both my near and far field vision. Dr. Heather Deere, Megan D. and Meghan L. were unequivocally exceptional! Their professional support, personal care, answering all questions to my satisfaction, were in my opinion, superior! Without a doubt and with no hesitation, I would highly recommend Dr. Zieker and his Team from Ophthalmic Consultants of the Capital Region!
