    Dr.Seipel is an excellent physician who exhibited very much compassion and concern about my left eye; he not only explained to me what the problem was he also showed me pictures of the angry eye. He discussed the treatment plan with me and made sure I understood it in detail , additionally he prescribed an antibiotic since the test that had previously been done could not detect what was the infection and ulcer in the left eye. His bedside manner is great and he immediately put me at ease that my eye would heal in a timely manner .

    Dr. Seipel was very concerned that I understood the sequence of events involved in my surgery. He went out of his way to be sure that I didn't have to wait for hours for my post-surgery recheck, I would recommend Dr. Seipel to family and friends, without hesitation. I am very grateful to him for my cataract removal and restoring my vision. I can't thank him enough.
