UW Health University Station Clinic Eye Care Clinic

"Doctor Gottlieb is the best. I’ve been seeing him for years for an incurable eye disease called Mac Tel for short. He is very thorough in explaining everything"

"After our check in at the desk we were told Dr.Sabb was running a few minutes late. 10-15 mins. After an hour of sitting in the waiting area, I went back to the check in desk and asked about our appointment. The receptionist said he would check. I waited at the desk, he came back in a few minutes saying I’m not sure what happened? Please wait another 10 mins. We waited. Finally after 2 hours we left the clinic. I was surprised by the lack of professionalism and communication. I’m glad my mother only has two eyes and that was her last cataract appointment."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Michael Altaweel for about 3 years. As a result of a central retinal vein occlusion in one of my eyes, I need an eye injection every 8-9 weeks. Dr. Altaweel has been wonderful to work with for several reasons. One is that he has very good bedside manner. Although his is a very fast-paced practice, I have never felt like I was just another “body,” when in his care. He is kind, thoughtful and takes that extra minute or two that makes a patient feel “seen” and “heard.” Second, I trust him. Period. Third, he has been sensitive to minimizing the amount of time I spend waiting. As the day wears on, his day gets busier so he has been very thoughtful in making sure I schedule visits months in advance so that I can get an early appt. At my most recent, appt he sent the scheduler a note with a specific date several months out that he would like to see me. That is being thoughtful."

"The good, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The bad, always extremely behind schedule. They need to find a better scheduling method I understand emergencies happen, however, this is every appointment. The closest to on time we have had was an hour late. Today 2 1/2 hours before we saw the Dr."

"Dr Momont, along with the entire staff at the eye clinic are friendly, caring and compassionate. I felt comfortable asking questions and left my appointment feeling excited for my recovery and to the next surgery."
