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.

Terrible manner
My elderly parents have seen Dr Jaeger for years. They have finally switched doctors. Jaeger is never on time. Today, we had a 930 am appointment and we’re seen at 11 am. Jaeger spent approximately 4 minutes with us. Yes, I timed him. He is abrupt on that he does not answer questions. He does not explain why he is sticking a needle in their eye or what the treatment plan is Perhaps, if he doesn’t want to treat people, he should get another job

I would highly recommend Dr. Jager to anyone who has an issue with their eyes. I have been seeing him for several years after having bilateral hip replacements and developing issues with "floaters". He did laser surgery on both of my eyes, was very kind and competent. The first episode with my right eye I was an add on patient sent from another MD's office, he saw me very quickly and performed the surgery right away. I have since moved out of state and still come back to see him yearly, I truly trust him with my eyes!!!!!

I came to see Dr. Jager after acquiring holes in both of my retinas from recent cataract surgeries on my eyes. From the moment that I met Dr. Jager I felt very comfortable with him. His bedside manner is EXCELLENT. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable in my trust level of him. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

I required retina surgery. Dr. Jager did an excellent job on the surgery. He has also done an excellent job on the follow-up. I would strongly recommend him.

Within minutes of my first consultation with Dr. Jager I felt comfortable and confident that he may be able to help me. He has a great "bedside manner" and his credentials are impeccable. His practice is involved in conduction clinical trials of new eye therapies, which further bolstered my confidence.
