"My favorite part about helping patients at SPEC is the ability to form meaningful bonds with my patients over many years. One of the things that drew me to the field of glaucoma is the fact that, given the chronic nature of the condition, glaucoma specialists have the opportunity to follow patients for decades and really form deep connections. Nothing matches the feeling of restoring a patient’s sight through a successful cataract surgery – experiences like these make me love my job.,
I realized in medical school that I wanted a few things in the field that I chose – I loved procedures and working with my hands, I wanted to greatly impact the lives of my patients, and I wanted meaningful relationships with patients and to follow them over the long-term. I found the perfect fit in ophthalmology. I was impressed as a medical student seeing the great impact ophthalmologists could have on restoring patient’s vision and thus vastly improving their quality of life."
She’s so informative and very compassionate!
Very thorough
Feel well taken care of
She was great! Warm and seem to honestly really care about my well-being. More and more doctors could learn from this great person. God bless her
Dr. Poulsen is great. She answered my questions and was professional, knowledgable and kind.
Appreciated time spent with me and her attention to my total medical history. It matters to me that she looked at the big picture, the history as to where i am phyisically, and the diagnosis from previous care providers. I would wait much longer for that kind of care!
I just can't say enough about Dr. Paulsen! I've never met a doctor so knowledgeable and caring. She's treated my grandma like she's family. She is the best in her field and I trust her more than doctor I've seen.
Dr. Poulson is friendly, highly competent, and empathetic when telling patients news they don’t necessarily want to hear (such as a glaucoma diagnosis). She should get a huge raise.
Such an excellent physician
Very personable for my appointment. Absolutely the best eye clinic
