Fantastic doctor and very personable. Excellent at his job!
Dr Emig is an absolute pleasure to see. His professional insights and his expertise is above and beyond any of my previous doctors I’ve had for my eyes. I’m picky, I’ve got medically treated OCD, and I’m difficult to please. Dr Emig has always been, and never has had any difficulty delivering top notch care, reassuring me when I’m down, listens to my concerns, is respectful to me always, and honestly? He’s the boss here, I should be listening to him, and he makes me always feel like a partner in this when I’m at my appointment. Can’t ask for more. Thank you Doc!! You’re truthfully the best!!!
Dr. Emig spent quite a bit of time with me today explaining options for dry macular degeneration. I appreciated his input very much.
Very kind and understanding Dr.
Doctor Emig was amazing, He found that I had a start of a torn retina that left unchecked could have been devastating. He repaired the tear that day with a lazar. Whenever I showed any sign of destress his soothing voice reassured me that it was going well. I drove home that day and for the first time in months I saw no floaters.
Dr Emig has so been so patient and kind with my care. I had a very scary situation going on and he calmed me down and spoke to me like I was his daughter or friend. He has been amazing ever since!
no nonsense doctor. I liked him.
Kind and calm very professional!
Probably the best Physician/Surgeon I have ever had. You just need to keep this Guy working another 20 years 😁 Plus he is very easy to talk too, personable, and I trust his honesty, judgment, and advice.
We have come along way after 5 years of treatment!
