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.

My appointment was at 2:45 for a routine checkup, since I was new to the area. I got there at 2:15 and the waiting room was packed. At around 3:15 I was taken to have my pressure checked, read the charts, had my eyes dilated, and sent to another room to wait, and wait, and wait! A couple was also waiting there and we became quite “friendly” talking, exchanging names, etc. I watched several people come and go while I sat there! I was finally called to see Dr Kammer at 4:20! He spent a grand total of five minutes with me. I was walking to my car at 4:28. Needless to say I won’t be seeing him again. I am thankful that I don’t haven’t any serious problems, but I will find anther doc next year.

Was very thorough on explaining things. Just wish could have completed all tests at this visit in stead of having to come back and end up with another copay

Dr. Kammer has done 3 successful procedures on my eyes … cataract removals (both) as well as a YAG capsulotomy. His professionalism and patient care are excellent, as well as his staff. I would suggest Dr. Kammer for one’s ophthalmologic needs.

I give Dr. Kammer and his office staff at both locations five stars. Dr. Kammer removed cataracts from both eyes. From Pre-op to followup I couldn’t have asked for more. Dr. Kammer is friendly, highly intelligent, and compassionate, all at the same time! The surgery he performed was perfect. The office staff at both locations are just fantastic. They are friendly, thorough, and compassionate as well. They are good to help you book appointments in either Spring Hill, or Franklin, Tn. I’m feel very fortunate to have met Dr. Kammer. My vision has been restored to near perfect! A true blessing!

Dr. Kammer is exceptionally caring and compassionate. I had a possible detached retina on a Saturday and he was the doctor on call. He wasn’t my doctor at the time but he came straight in and met me at the office and treated me. I have Multiple Sclerosis and have had optic neuritis in the past so a great ophthalmologist is an essential part of my care team. He has been my eye doctor since that day! Since then, he has fixed both of my cataracts with toric lenses and I can see better than I have in years. Thank you so much Dr. Kammer!

Dr. Kammer performed cataract surgery on each eye. The pre-op visits were great, the surgery was perfection, and the follow-up was thorough. I couldn't be happier.

I was referred to Dr Kammer after a diagnosis of pseudo exfoliation and open angle glaucoma. Following several months of consultation he successfully performed cataract surgery. Dr Kammer’s staff, both at the eye clinic and at the surgery center, were professional and compassionate. The office is very busy yet worth the wait for this competent and caring doctor. He has expertise in glaucoma and more complicated cataract surgery and I’d highly recommend him.

What an amazing opportunity that I was able to find such an outstanding doctor and surgeon.. A family member had extensive issues with their eyes and Dr Kammer came through with flying colors. I recently had issues with my eyes that needed surgery as well and I never once hesitated to make an appointment with Dr Kammer. My eyesight has never been better, due to Dr Kammar's skill and dedication. I will be honest sometimes the wait may be somewhat long, but excellence is worth it...

I am a patient of Dr. Jeffrey Kammer. I have been for approximately 5 years. I was blessed to become his patient through a referral from another ophthalmologist. Dr. kammer exceeds all expectations!! For one I fear glaucoma which puts me in a very emotional place. Dr. Kammer is the right blend of professionalism, confidence in his skill and expertise. Dr. Kammer also possess the gift of compassion and empathy! He knows just what to say and do when he senses me literally shaking. He is the BEST!

He was extremely informative and kind. Although it was a long day and at times confusing, I was confident my Mother, Jan Arnold, was in the most capable hands. He explained the procedure, the anticipated results, and what to expect in terms that I could relate to. My mother has dementia, and as a result doesn't always comprehend what she is facing. He spent a great deal of time putting her at ease.
