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.

He knows his stuff. He is the best there is.
I have four friends who had cataract surgery by Dr. Wehrly. Like me, they are a static about the outcome. Simply put, he is the best. And his staff is efficient and thorough.

Excellent Ophthalmologist.
I had something in my eye. I called up Lake Eye Care the first time but Dr. Weheyl was unavailable, so I was directed to another Ophthalmologist. She examined my eyes and prescribed some eye drops. I went back to see her a few days later. My eye was better but it still felt like there was something it it and I told her so. She said that she saw nothing and to keep putting in the drops. The next morning I could not open my eye. I called Lake Eye care again and insisted on seeing Dr. Wehrly. The "made room" for me late morning. When I saw Dr Wehrly, he said he saw something and flushed out my eye. Prescribed different drops. Within 2 days my eyes were back to normal. I highly recommend Dr. Wehrly.

Wrikle in retina & macular edema.
Went to Dr. Wehrly a few years ago for what I thought would be routine laser cataract surgery. I had excellent results for a couple of months,but then my vision in one eye was getting blurry. I even paid thousands extra for a special lens for perfect distance vision.I went back to see Wehrly a few more times over the next several months as the blurry vision was getting worse. He said the eye looks normal and that I'm over the "WOW" factor. Fast forward a couple of years as he was too busy to see me when I called for an emergency visit, I am now under the care of a Retina Specialist. After the first visit I was told to go back to Wehrly and have him remove the membrane on my retina. I did go back to Dr. Wehrly and he did laser the membrane, but the damage was already done. In the last 2 years I have had 15 eye exams and been diagnosed(see title). The specialist has tried injections, the only other option is surgery,my one eye is still very blurry. I have excellent health otherwise.
