CARLA IS SIMPLY THE BEST! I've been her patient for nearly 3 decades and her exams are PERFECT every single time. She cannot be allowed to retire as long as I'm vertical.

Dr. Sappenfield's demeanor and her attentiveness to her patients and their eye health is top notched. She makes you feel that you really matter to her and isn't just another patient she has to see on that date to get her work day over. Please keep her on your staff because I don't really like going to medical facilities, but it makes a person feel so much better when you are getting seen by someone like Dr. Sappenfield and her staff.

You are lucky to have such a skilled Doctor who shows she genuinely cares about your health. She explains everything in detail so you can understand it in layman's terms. She is VERY Smart and my favorite Doctor and I hope she will remain at HREA for a very long time.
