Dr. Sappenfield is the best at being very thorough. She gives very complete answers to my questions. I feel valued as a patient. I feel fortunate to have her as my eye doctor. She explained what problems should be reported to Dr.[...] should they occur. I felt more informed when I left the appointment.

I've been with this Dr. Sappenfield for over 30 years. She has exceeded my expectations over the years, which is the reason I'm still her patient. In the past, I would seek care for an eye infection or other Iss through my PCP. Dr. Sappenfield Invited me to allow her to meet all of my eye health care needs in the future, which I obliged. I initially thought my visits with her were limited to annual eye exams. She is phenomenal!
