Dr. Hein is completely dedicated to the care of his patients. He is pleasant and has a gentle manner that makes you feel comfortable right away. I recently had surgery for adult strabismus and I cannot say enough about how well pleased I am with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Hein without reservation. The ladies in his office are so pleasant and delightful to deal with, helpful in every way possible.

I waited to review after visiting a few times. Definitely recommend Dr.Hein! He is attentive and I've never felt rushed by him. He will ask quite a few times, "Is there anything else we need to address" and "Do you have any questions " I also love the fact that he allows my 8 year old to guide the answers when he asks questions. He takes the time to hear her out, I LOVE that!

Love Dr. Hein and his staff! Dr. Hein has seen my son since he was about 6 months old and my son is now 6! Hes very thorough and attentive. He makes sure all of your questions are answered and youre comfortable before you leave. Theres been a few times my son has had to have a quick assessment with an eye injury and they got him in almost immediately; Dr. Hein assessed and called in a prescription my son needed right away! The best!

I was a little anxious about the first visit and how it might go but my daughter said it was fun. The staff here was so incredibly friendly and helpful and they have their process down to eat clockwork in the sense that they have one set of clients at a time. One set in their appointment, only one set waiting, you may pass each other on the way in or out but there is hand sanitizer and everyone is wearing masks. We were in and out with a brand new prescription in less than an hour. I was very impressed.
