The staff was awesome and the doctor was super sweet. I also loved the fact that we did not wait long. I would definitely recommend this doctor!

Absolutely amazing! Wonderful bedside manors. I really couldn’t imagine another surgeon operating on my baby! She is very thorough, personally calls to follow up, and ensures both parents and kiddo (patient) are comfortable!!! Thank you Dr. Fuerst!!

Dr. Fuerst was great with our squirmy 3yo. She answered all of our questions and helped us make the right decisions for our son. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a kid friendly doctor.

The team were AWESOME at helping my, not so easy, toddler feel welcome and comfortable. He actually enjoyed the appointment, quite rare for us. Highly recommend.

So glad to hear that you had a positive experience with us! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review.

Dr. Fuerst is an awesome Dr. Staff very professional and caring.

Dr.Fuerst was wonderful with my son. He gets very nervous when it comes to getting his eyes examined. She talked to him and made him laugh. He forgot all about being nervous. Thanks

Dr. Fuerst is always friendly and thorough with my seven year old. She takes time to engage with him and also to answer my questions. I highly recommend her!

Doctor Fuerst was the MOST INCREDIBLE doctor we’ve ever met... Our toddler has strabismus, a condition she’ll have to manage for the rest of her life. It’s hard choosing the right doctor to trust with your child’s eyesight. Our kiddo is normally terrified of doctors. Her last Ophthalmologist did nothing to remedy that fear. Visits were cold and rushed... But our experience Dr. Fuerst was completely the opposite. The lovely person at reception was delightful and quick. We even chatted with her for a while after the visit was over because she was just the sweetest. Nurse Mychelle (I never saw your name spelled, I’m so sorry!) was absolutely amazing. She was so patient with us and got us sorted into each of our rooms, took extremely detailed notes on our daughter’s current condition, and helped keep us comfortable the entire time! We were brought into a colorful room where Doctor Fuerst engaged our kiddo with toys, lights, and showed her each of the instruments she was using. Her ability to quickly gain trust through play was something we’ll never forget. She just had the most warm and loving spirit while interacting with our daughter. It brought my husband to tears, because of the contrast with our previous physician. Our daughter actually looked through the lenses while completely calm. She wasn’t scared of the doctor for the first time in her little life. Dr. Fuerst even got a giggle out of her. She stayed with us to talk about next steps, her new glasses prescription, what the upcoming years might look like, and what we could do at home to best support her patching journey. Doctor Rachel Fuerst should be a role model for all physicians. Her standard of care is second to none. Doctor Fuerst, thank you for making caring for others your life’s purpose.

Dr. Fuerst is such a blessing to our family. Her bedside manner is top notch along with her knowledge. She made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way for my son.

Dr. Fuerst is the absolute best. She’s gentle and kind and works super well with my son.

I love Dr. Fuerst She sees my two little ones that have a rare genetic condition that affects the eyes. She’s amazing and I highly recommend her.

Excellent bedside manner. Not an alarmist. Great with kids.

Dr.Fuerst is very professional and very attentive to kids! We have been visiting her for about a year now and very happy. She is always welcoming and paying attention to every detail! Recommend!

Everyone here is especially kind and caring. I came in a bundle of nervous energy but Dr. Fuerst has a way of calming me down. The surgery went well and Dr. Fuerst was kind enough to call me afterwards on several occasions just to make sure I was doing ok. She goes above and beyond.

Best Dr ever!! So sweet, So passionate, very thorough, and takes her time to explain everything. Amazing bedside manner. Loves her patients and what she does. She was our saving grace! Can't say enough positive about her! Wish we would have found her a long time before we did!! Love love love her!!!!

She is knowledgeable about the procedure but also knows mine is a special circumstance

We came to see Dr. Fuerst for a second opinion and I am extremely happy we did! She was thorough, friendly, funny, and came up with a plan. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Dr. Fuerst enough! She went above and beyond to figure out what condition my daughter has, finding the best specialist that my daughter can see out of state and speaking with him as soon as she could. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Dr. Fuerst. We will continue to see her until my daughter cannot see her anymore.

My daughter had her very first appointment with Dr. Fuerst last week, and she was PHENOMENAL! So gentle, and kind with my little one, and super sweet to me and my mother!
