Our recent yearly eye exam’s with Dr George were through as usual. Dr George has many positive attributes and one of these is he takes the time to listen to concerns or questions you may have. Upon hearing these issues, he takes the time to explain the results of your eye exam , as well as answer all your questions or concerns, in a very understandable way. Communications and his knowledge of disorders pertaining to over all aspects of eye health has enabled him to attain full trust and confidence in us as his long term patients.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. George is an excellent ophthalmologist because he speaks calmly and clearly when he discusses your test results. He also has a relaxing manner which puts patients at ease. He is very knowledgeable and up to date on the latest procedures, if you require any. He is all around a fine doctor.

I was in for my annual visit to see Dr George, today. I was extremely pleased by the staff at St Paul Eye Clinic. The receptionist was most pleasant and efficiently processed me. The technician, Kristen, who made the initial testing, was extremely capable. We worked quickly and comfortably through the tests and measurements. My visit with DR George was again very positive. He is very knowledgeable, a pleasant individual, easy to understand and he gave very practical tips about managing my vision needs. My family and I are most satisfied with the clinic and the care received from Dr George. Especially, my wife’s cataracts surgery a couple years ago.
