I have loved the experience so far. It nice to feel that my eye doctor is not in a rush to get out of the room. Things were explained to me very well about having the LASIK Procedure.Looking forward to my husband and I to using the office in the future for all our eye care needs.

Very friendly and knowledgeable place to get eye care. Shelly Hayes and her staff were great. It had been 10yrs since my last eye exam and Shelly did an excellent job of diagnosing my vision. She gave me a new eye glass prescription while I was there. Ordered the new glasses from the same office and will be good to go. It was a one stop shop type experience which made my life better. Thank you Shelly Hayes and your team, you guys are the best 😊

Several issues bother me. 1. Having to be there fifteen minutes early and then having to sit and wait usually fifteen to thirty minutes. 2. Having to have only one procedure discussed at a time. I feel that it is a nuisance to both the doctor and the patient.

Dr Hudson is very detailed and will take the time to explain what is going on with your eyesight. I have been going to him for over 10 years and will only see him. I trust him with my eyesight.

I have only been to Sieht once for consultation. My eye doctor had recommended Dr. Falkenberg, and read many good reviews and recommendations which led me to believe he would do an excellent job on my cataract surgery that’s coming up in a few weeks. His staff were very friendly and helped me understand what to do before and after the day of surgery.

I’m so glad that I found Dr Falkenberg as my Eye Doctor. He is kind and very patient. He explains everything to you in a way you can understand. He is good at what he does. His staff is friendly and very helpful. I like going for my visits, because I walk away in a cheerful mood after talking and laughing with them.

This morning, I had mono vision lasik with Dr. Falkenberg. The office staff and assistants were all very professional, friendly and helpful. During the surgery, Dr Falkenberg explained what he was doing each step of the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Falkenberg for lasik. I am only eight hours after surgery and my results are amazing and from what I understand they continue to improve!

Dr. Shelley Hayes has been my eye doctor for years. I could not have asked for a better caring doctor. Dr. Hayes takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you understand. She shows you the comparison of your eye progression from each test. I love she does not rush in and rush you out. She gives you the time you need to ask questions and get satisfactory answers. I will be a lifetime patient.

Dr Hudson has been a vigilant advocate to correct and preserve my eyesight for the last 10+ years. He is a highly skilled surgeon who successfully restored my vision through somewhat risky cataract surgery. Having a family history of detached retinas, macular degeneration and glaucoma, I was skeptical of a path forward. However, his mindful demeanor, technology-driven approaches and reputation for being one of the best eye doctors in Fredericksburg, was all I needed to trust his assessment and skilled approach. I had the best eye doctors growing up in Massachusetts and was pleasantly surprised to find the best eye doctors in Stafford County Virginia.

Review №22

I was happy that it was fast but was a little disappointed at the age of their equipment. I scheduled and specifically asked for an Ophthalmologist even after arriving and the assistant was very nice but I learned in the end, she was not an ophthalmologist and felt I was misled. I also felt as if I was whisked through an assembly line.

I have been going here for 12 years. Quality medical care whether it’s medical or surgical. The doctors are very skilled and the technicians and staff are knowledgeable.The wait time doesn’t bother me. Par for the course, coming from NY.The staff and doctor ( DrFalkenberg) helped quickly with an eye medication that was no longer covered by insurance. .Overall, I’m very satisfied. I would rate them excellent.

I am celebrating these days because I can see. I had my cataracts removed by Dr. Falkenberg and could not be more pleased. I have never been in a health care setting where everything is so well organized!!! The entire staff at Sieht have been wonderful. Every question that I had was answered right away. Dr. Hayes was terrific and explained what is going on with my eyes as they get better. Sharon assisted me in picking out glasses for the second time. Actually, I asked her to pick out a few for me to try and I was sold on the second pair that I tried on. She’s a prize! And, Dr. Falkenberg is my new hero!

Review №37

I was referred by my eye doctor to this practice for emergency surgery without consultation. However upon the appointment being made, they treated it as a consult and collected the $40 copay. Consequently I was scheduled for surgery for 4 days later (another $40 copay). Upon my arrival it appeared that they had no professionalism within the office staff as I was told by a staff member that walked in oh yeah hes going to cut that out. During my surgery, multiple people were allowed in and observe and provided various commentary without my consent. Following my surgery the prescription that was sent to my pharmacy was incorrect and I was not able to fill it because nobody would answer the phone at this office. I would recommend taking your medical issues elsewhere.

Review №38

Just not enough good to give it more than a 1-star review.For both my wife and I, we made our appointments for the Stafford office and they booked us for the Fredericksburg office instead, but didnt tell us until later. For my wifes appointment, they told her the day before that her appt would only be for contact fitting and not a new prescription, even though she had scheduled for both. Was told it would be two months before she could have an exam for a prescription done. This after waiting more than a month for this appountment. NOT acceptable.For myself, I waited more than an hour after my original appt time before I was seen, then they rushed through the exam. For my dilation, they did the exam immediately after dilation instead of waiting for the full dilation effect. Entire retinopothy exam was maybe 3 minutes.Do yourselves a favor and go somewhere else until and unless they get this mess sorted out. I certainly wont be back.

I was taken in after about a half hour wait. I was there for cataract surgery consult. Once I was in the back, things rolled right along. The staff is pleasant, makes you feel comfortable, is extremely thorough, explains things clearly, and welcomes questions. When Dr. Falkenberg came in, you are instantly put at ease with his demeanor, the confidence he exudes and his professionalism. It is my eyes, yes. Ill be nervous, yes. But I know Im literally in good hands.

Each person at the practice who helped me was friendly, professional, and personable. I was seen promptly by Dr. Hayes, and received the most thorough and well-explained eye exam I have ever had in my 77 years. I was also impressed by how well the practice followed protocol for Covid 19 protection. I highly recommend SIEHT and Dr. Hayes. The optician, whose name I failed to note, was also exceptional in helping me select the frames that suited me best.

As a Type II diabetic recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, I need the best possible care for my eyes. I chose Dr. Hudson and I made the correct decision. He closely monitors my condition. He performed flawless cataract surgery for me in 2015 and a follow-up procedure last year. I see better than I ever have. He understands the issues with how PD can affect sight, and he has means to deal with it. I have total confidence in him.

Had a bit of a wait...First time here. I really liked my eye doctor. I believe it was Dr. Hayes. She told me one thing about my eyes that no eye doctor ever told me... map, dot, fingerprint (eye dystrophy) and it affects my vision with blurry vision..it happens in my left eye the most. I liked her alot. 🙂

Dr Falkenburg performed my lasik approximately 10 years ago and it has enhanced my life ever since. Dr Hayes became my regular optometrist she has continued providing me with the knowledge of understanding how my vision has progressed. She is through explaining any tests needed and always inquire if I have any questions or concerns. I am extremely happy with my experience at Sieht and recommend them to anyone who is in need of an optometrist.

My experience with Dr Hudson and his staff was very, very professional. The pre-examination for my cataract surgery in both eyes was professional and the staff took time to explain to me what was going on and what I should expect after my surgery. The surgery and nursing staff was beyond professional. Couldnt believe what I couldnt see until I had my surgery done. The follow up visits and exams have been a pleasant experience, very courteous professional staff. Dr Hudson was highly recommended to me by my eye doctor and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else.

Nobody else could see me until practically a month later in the area, but SIEHT fit me into their schedule THAT DAY!

Over the years, my wife and I have been to a number of eye doctors, ophthalmologists and opticians in the Fredericksburg area. But after seeing Dr. Hayes, at Sieht, none of those other eye professionals can measure up to the comprehensive, quality care we received from Dr. Hayes. It was evident during our examinations that Dr. Hayes genuinely cared about our eye health. She pursued additional testing, when warranted, and she explained all results clearly and in an understandable manner. We highly recommend Dr. Hayes. Five well deserved stars!

Went in for an irritation in one eye, after waiting over an hour in nearly empty waiting room I was called back. Another 30 mins waiting in exam room. Determined I might have an infection in my eye and given script for Zylet, 10ml, which is $330. I tried to look up costs before I left there but no signal in exam room. So I ask them to print out script and no one knew how to do that plus a comment was made by the nurse that “you won’t get credit for it unless it goes through the on line system” to the doctor. Hmmm. Today I called back for an alternate affordable Rx and they said “oh we have samples, I’ll put several in a bag for you at front desk” so another 40 min drive one way to do what they could have done the first time. They gave me two 1ml tiny bottles, not several, maybe 6-8 drops in each if that. 10 days 4x day = Short! Maybe I look wealthy but I’m not.

I also had some concerns a week after my procedure and no questions asked they got me right in! I can’t recommend them enough!

I have no complaints about the actual services I have received at this location. Dr. Falkenberg is always prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. I do feel the lobby area could use some changes to make it more Covid appropriate. The day I was there, when three doctors were in the office, there was a continous line that contained both arrivals and patients who had completed their appointments and were waiting to hand in paperwork and leave or set up new appointments. People coming in and those leaving had to find a way to avoid the line as best they could. This situation never got better. I dont know what the solution is, but something needs to change. Perhaps a separate exit where those leaving could take care of business and then leave without lingering in the lobby.
