If you're interested in being treated like cattle to slaughter, then by all means see Wyse and her factory. If however you are interested in a physician who behaves ethically and professionally, go somewhere else.

They have a very good professional reputation. The impression they give is that I'm under the care of an expert - the latest equipment, and records computerized. They followed up with me after my cataract surgery procedure. Dr. Wyse was careful to answer all the questions I had, but I could tell she was very busy, so it is best to write down your questions beforehand, because if you can't think of the next one, then she needs to be on to the next patient. They are available by phone or returned phone call if I think of any more questions I want answered. I pretty much get the appointment times I want, unless it is on her Wednesday surgery day.

There are no guarantees with cataract surgery, and indeed there was a problem with the first eye Dr. Wyse did - a distance implant that started out 20-20 the day after surgery, but during healing the implant shifted and it is now 20-30. During the few weeks after surgery I had to decide whether to get the second eye done with a distance implant, or a reading implant (so-called monovision). Assistant Karen Gallegos recommended against monovision (people have trouble adapting), but Dr. Wyse said adapting was not a problem. Her optometrist Dr. Martinson, after noting my 20-30 first eye, pointed out that I would likely need glasses all the time if I did monovision, and also mentioned that engineers like me (and her father) prefer precise vision, which I might not be able to get with monovision. She saved the day, because I went with a second distance implant that stayed at 20-20. This has turned out great because the brain takes the better of the two eyes. Now I'm glasses-free except for reading, and I love it! And the 20-30 first eye gives me sort of monovision at 20-24" (computer screens) anyway.

You should know that the actual procedure is brief and completely painless. Sort of like a dental checkup with an IV. A complete breeze, although I can imagine some people might freak out who don't like others poking into their eye (didn't bother me at all). Everyone at the surgery center was very friendly and professional, double-checking that they were doing the correct eye with the correct implant. My vision was 20-20 immediately (although as I said, the first eye deteriorated to 20-30 after 3-4 days). I was out on the dance floor 1 day after the second eye was done with no ill effects. I'm really grateful that something like this is available today - really a major quality of life improvement.

Dr. Wyse is extraordinarily competent, caring, and available. She has been my opthalmologist for years, and has cared for my complicated eye problems.
She has emphasized her availability 24/7 should I experience
symptoms indicating serious problems, and when I recently ran into a problem, she saw me that day staying at the office until long past closing time.
Her care and advise has enriched my quality of life.
I have recommended her to others, and believe she is the best of the best.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tamara Wyse for many years and have referred patients to her as well. Both in my personal experience and in those of my referred patients, Dr. Wyse is consistently exemplary in her assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of ophthalmic conditions. She keeps on top of the latest clinical research, is incredibly devoted to her work and the care of her patients, and is quite astute and meticulous in her study and care for the eye. It is no surprise she is not only positively endorsed by patients, but also by other medical providers (as evidenced on several review sites). I HIGHLY recommend her!

I never have to worry about them overbooking appointments. They definitely believe in quality over quantity here and it is much appreciated. You could tell they really made an effort to accommodate people with all different needs. They always shown to detail. They are always so careful and meticulous. I never have to worry about them making a mistake or forgetting something. I will absolutely return. All the staff seem to care about the patient. In addition, I have had very helpful advice over the phone which meant i did not have to make an appointment.

They would never suggest that I buy something that wasn't necessary, and never pressured me. The Doctor and her assistant were always very considerate and professional. There was no annoying music playing while I waited or during my visit. Because I have an eye disease, there are times when I have to come frequently. It is often difficult to make follow-up appointments without feeling pressure or frustration from the receptionist. Dr. Wyse is excellent and extremely patient, as her assistant Norma. I am not comfortable with one of the technicians on staff. Could use some work on bedside manner.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wyse for a long time. She is an extremely gifted ophthalmologist; as well as being a very kind and caring person. I always feel that I have her full attention when I see her. I have extremely dry eyes and have had serious problems in the past. She responded quickly to treat my eye for about a week, every single day. I have just had cataract surgery and am very happy with the results. As I told her once "I would follow you anywhere!"
