Clifford M Turner OD

Great service, I have been using Dr Turner for over 30 years

Dr Turner takes care of his patients, even if it means meeting at 7:30 in the morning.

This doctor told me my cataracts are so bad I can't even pass the eye exam for my driver's license, yet I can see a deer without my glasses at 70 yards. Go figure

My wife went to this clinic to have an annual diabetic eye exam. The doctor was very condescending. She has excellent control of her sugars and has them where she wants them nearly 99% of the time and has an A1C of 6%, which is amazing because a non-diabetic's A1C averages at below 5.7% and 5.7 to 6.4 is pre diabetes. She controls her sugars depending on the tasks at hand and tries to keep them mid level (200's) when she is busy doing a lot of physically demanding tasks. She checked her sugar because the doctor asked, and was a little higher than the "optimal sugar." She has a monitor, and the doctor was condescending, saying "that's not okay, that's not an acceptable sugar because keeping your sugar high can affect your eyes. You need to be under 150. You missed your eye appointment last year and you need to get these every year." and we know these things. Last year we lived in three different states, I'm in the military and doctors have a 3 month wait time usually. Having a high sugar for a day is not going to make someone go blind. The A1C is what causes problems to the body, and inactivity. My wife is very active and already conscious of her diabetes. We don't need condescending doctors telling us what we know. We need supportive doctors who ask questions and try to understand.

The people that work here are very nice and explained everything as they went along. The doctor was very nice too and it didn’t take long to get my glasses back!
