Dr. Vize is very professional and knowledgeable. She takes great care with her patients. My husband and I both see her. She has been quite helpful to both of us. Bonus. She is friendly and easy to talk with. We both give her top ratings. We also give top ratings to Swagel Wootton Eye Institute where she works. Thank you, Dr. Vize.

I got in well before my appointment. Dr. Vize got me in very quickly and completed my exam, and I was headed home before the actual start time. So far very happy with surgery results.

I appreciate how Dr Vize takes the time to listen, explain and takes action if needed. I truly believe she saved the site in my left eye two years ago. After calling and explaining my symptoms, I was in her chair within 30 minutes with an appointment setup the next day at the Eye institute and surgery 2 days later.

Whar a blessing to have such a compassionate doctor. Dr. Vize has gotten me through several scary situations. She is knowledgeable , kind, and reassuring.

Very knowledgeable and personable! She made me aware of something not to do after surgery - namely bending over forward - of which I was not aware. Had I not been referred to Swagell Wooten by a doctor who I've seen for 3 decades, I would gladly seek care from her.

I was back at the office on October 20, 2026 to see Dr.Vize for my regular checkup. Please allow me to state that she is as excellent as ever and a great provider. Everyone at Swagel Wootton is very professional and for me it’s a great place to go for my eye care. I can highly recommend you considering giving them an opportunity to take care of your eye health.
