Dr Jansen is very knowledgeable. He explains conditions and answers questions. I have been to four other opthamologists (West Plains, Springfield, Wash U/Barnes, and in Mtn Home, AR. when Jansen wasn’t in network), three of whom were terrible, for reasons beyond the pale. I should have paid out of pocket to see Jansen during those times. Hindsight is everything (pun intended). Dr Jansen explained my original problem, when no one else would, and is helping me with current problems. I’m very grateful he accepted me as a patient.
