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.

Outstanding patient care
Dr Vierling was thorough with explanations, patient and compassionate. Her entire staff office and technicians were extremely patient care oriented. Genuine concern for patient needs I would absolutely recommend this practice. She is worth the wait!

Good Dr., but long wait times.
Very long wait times make it look like this is intentional over-booking. The main waiting room is full and the outside lobby with hard benches is used as the waiting room #2.

Dr. Vierling was a life saver working with my husband when he experienced several detached retina emergencies. She went to lengths to repair my husband’s eye through five surgeries over a year and a half. I really appreciate her extra communication and attention to detail. She was very professional answering ever question we had with patience and compassion. Thank you Dr. Vierling!

I had wrost experience with this doctor in my entire life. Every time during appointment she never clarified about treatment details and managed timeline regarding to the original date. One example she told me initially particular treatment might take 6 months to a year time frame but she almost spend 2 and half year for the same. And finally when I ask so many times she replied it might take few more months so never seen afterwards. Also during every visit I spend almost 2 to 4 hours waiting.

Referred to Dr. Vierling several years ago for hole in my macula. She has provided outstanding care. Got the hole closed and has followed me since. Very thorough and state of the art equipment. Dr. Vierling takes time to answer questions and explain what is going on. All of her staff are courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend her. Move to Mighigan and will miss her.
