Response from the ownerYour five-star rating is a welcome encouragement, and we thank you for sharing it.GOOD
Response from the ownerThank you for the kind rating. We appreciate you taking a moment to share it.Today, I want to thank God for the care and surgical services of Dr. Alan Solinsky and the entire staff at Solinsky Eye Care. Surgery always generates anxiety, but the staff helped me to feel at peace and cared for at every stage of my procedure. The doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and the rest of the supporting staff work together to inspire a healing ❤️🩹 presence in the entire space. When I visited initially and I saw the joyful and cooperative spirit of the place I thought the staff was simply having a good day. My repeated visits confirmed that this is the prevailing positive spirit of the practice. Thank you 😊so much for what you do to heal people and for a reflection of the healing ❤️🩹 spirit.

Response from the ownerWe're genuinely moved by your kind words. 😊 The warmth and cooperative spirit you noticed from our team isn't something we put on for special occasions, and we're glad it came through so clearly. Feeling at peace and truly cared for matters deeply to us. ❤️🩹Hardly any wait time. Staff very friendly and helpful. We laughed and shared pics of cats. Also very professional. Informed me about tests, what they were doing and why. Michael is very skilled and quick at putting in eye drops and performing various tests. In and out within an hour. Overall a very good experience. Wish every doctor visit was this good.
