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.

Wonderful practice. Everyone there is talented, considerate and knowledgeable.

Follow-up exam
I saw Dr, Henneken for a follow-up examafter having had cataract surgery (by another doctor) a few months ago on my eye on which I had had previous surgery for a detached retina. I found her to be very thorough, very competent, with good communication skills. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Hennekin is very thorough, I was sent to see her regarding an inclusion on my right retina. She said it had been there quite a while and had healed all on its own. She said I was very lucky. I did not have retina detachment back when it happened.

Dr. Hanneken reiterated that by my following her recommendations to eat fresh pepermint, lemons, limes and sour oranges, my macular degeneration has held steadily for several years now. I am thrilled.

Grateful for Dr. Hanneken
I have been a patient of Dr. Hanneken’s for over 20 years for retina issues. Last week I thought I was to have a routine exam and after a few tests; Dr. Hanneken had me off to the emergency room and hospital admission. Scared? Yes I was, though Dr. Hanneken has a calm demeanor about her that I’d be in good hands and she calmed my fears. She arranged for other specialists to be involved and the speed in which I had various tests gained verbal praise from hospital staff. I attribute saving my eyesight to Dr. Hanneken’s skill, knowledge, expertise and acting right away on my behalf for treatment. I will always be grateful to Dr. Hanneken.

Outstanding Doctor
I’m fortunately now a patient who sees Dr. Hanneken once a year for an annual check-up, but 4 years ago I had a retinal detachment and Dr. Hanneken’s skill and expertise has enabled me to fully recover. I very fortunate to have 20-20 vision with contacts after she conducted a vitrectomy surgery to repair my eye. She is kind, skilled, and caring and answers all questions.

Best of the Best!
I was in her office today. She made time to see me with a full schedule. I knew when she arrived because I could hear her happy voice when she greeted everyone! She did a few surgeries for me years ago. You’ll never find a better retinal surgeon. Besides her obvious expertise, kindness, work ethic and lovely spirit, she is also a dedicated researcher and her research has been reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. She is busy every day helping people see better. I really admire her so much.

Outstanding, as always
I'm very concerned about massive floaters in my eye from when I had a detached retina (which Dr. Hanneken cured, by the way). The good doctor and her staff were friendly, courteous and as always, reassuring. It looks like I'll need surgery, but I totally trust Dr Hanneken to do it. She was above and beyond when I had the detached retina.

Dr. Hanneken is always through, encouraging and never makes you feel rushed. She answers any questions and explains your tests and treatment. The staff that does the first 2 or 3 tests are friendly and explain what is going to happen. Things like bright lights flashing in you eyes. All in all a pleasant and efficient visit.

Very knowledgable doctor
Dr. Hanneken explained in great detail the reason my optometrist recommended I see her, the possible causes of the issue, and recommended actions, including treatments and adjustments in lifestyle. She thoroughly understood the issue and communicated clearly. It was very reassuring to address this issue with her counsel and care. The staff was helpful and efficient. The office is well run and comfortable.
