Timely.
Fast, polite, and answered all the questions I had. Seemed like she had been there for years!
Very caring attitude from all the staff.
Insanely compassionate doctor. Shows empathy and understanding but all of the doctors there do. I have seen all the doctors in the practice and collectively it’s the dream team. Each physician brings a uniqueness to patient care. The practice would benefit from a patient advocate to help their visually challenged patients navigate disability and services available.
Excellent, professional, and very understanding
Excellent care! Thank you

Wonderful as always
Dr. Scriptsema ..Dr kapoor... and Dr. Wagner are the best.they stick needles in my eye all the time and i keep coming back haha
Due to macular degeneration, I require shots to my eye every six weeks. Dr. S. is saving my vision.
very knowledgeable and courteous. Clearly explains your condition.
She gets a 6+ why. Because she listens to me. She understands me. I don't understand why you test the bad eye thru the glasses. Test the eye itself so you see what I'm seeing. I can't have perfect vision.. yes the glasses make you perfect but not when you seeing double.. thanks for taking time . Big ups to the junior staff & jasmine
This practice always efficient, and friendly. Dr. Scipsema has great bedside maner, while informative, making you feel at ease.
I had a very good visit and my eye is doing great.
I was very satisfied with my visit and explanation to questions.
