The Dr and his amazing staff made the entire cataract process and operation a great success. I didn’t expect to have to have cataract surgery so soon at my age, but I did and the doctor was amazing. I was informed throughout the wShow morehole procedure and all the follow ups what would happen and what to expect. After a four month follow up my eyes are in the best shape they’ve ever been thank you, Doctor and your staff for everything you are true professionals.

Herbie E. • May 22, 2026

I strongly recommend Dr. Heimmel. My wife was his patient first and was very pleased. After a disappointing experience with my previous othamalogist, I went to Dr. Heimmel and he has become my new doctor and is working now to improve my vision from what I suffered before. We aren't done yet, but things are deftly on the right path.
