Have been a patient of Dr. G since 2007. I find him to be: Incredibly competent in his field A gentleman of the first order A caring and super attentive physician My great luck at having run into him in 2007 So sad that he is retiring!! Is he one of the last of a dying breed of REAL doctors?? Many good wishes to him and his team! read more

Just a quick note to reiterate what others have said. Dr. Geisse is more than an excellent eye doctor, he is extremely knowledgeable about medical conditions in general which helps greatly if there are any underlying circumstances. And yes, there is an examiner, a long time employee, that can be a little abrupt. She is still very qualified. If you have a problem ask for assistance. They will see that you get what you need. Sometimes we as patients are meek. Don't be meek. read more

Very helpful and courteous staff. The newest advanced equipment. Dr. Geisse was very caring and explained things well with detailed discharge instructions read more

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Geisse for a number of years. I have glaucoma and my wife has had eye issues. What a blessing it is to have someone like Dr. Geisse caring for our eyes. He is amazingly patient and answers any questions we have. My wife has had to call outside of office hours and he responded quickly. Our eyes are a precious gift and we are so thankful to have Dr. Geisse caring for us. read more

My wife and I have both entrusted our eye care to Dr. Geisse and his staff for close to ten years. When meeting with him, he is always very thorough and untrusted, taking time to always answer our questions in detail. You simply could not find a better ophthalmologist in this area. read more

A cocky eye doctor that puts seniors at risk during this pandemic by calling all the staff in to see your condition without even asking permission or telling you what he is showing. When I called him to let him know that he was putting my mother at risk for COVID he told me to go elsewhere and then hung up on me. Beware. read more

Dr. Geisse is definitely a fantastic specialist!!! He's extremely thorough and very considerate to each and everyone of his patients! And his staff are very dedicated and maintain the highest regard and respect to their vast array of clientele- especially their "older" patients. You can't go wrong coming to this practice! Every stage of life of each patient-not just their eyes-are always noted and both Dr. Geisse and his staff do their best to provide exceptional optometric assessments and treatments... read more

The patient care is definitely the highlight of this office. I am in customer service and this is something I truly value! Not only are they nice but they also have so much knowledge from the front desk to the dr. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Great selection of frames and sunglasses. My style for sure. Everyone that works there is top notch! Thank you for always being so great! Highly recommend! Don't miss out! read more

Excellent doctor. Clear. Concise. Thorough explanation of things. I was in pain and they squeezed me in as a new patient on the very same day. The staff is super nice and helpful. Only reason why I gave them a four instead of a 5 is because, I got to the office early to give myself some time to fill out the forms. When I first got there, the waiting room was absolutely empty. Yet, I had to wait 25 min after spending 15 min filling out all of the forms to be seen. I don't think anyone was being seen before me, because the staff seemed to just be hanging around. By the time I was called up, there were 4 other patients already waiting. This seemed like an indication of a slight mismanagement of time. In all fairness, it was probably their down time, and I completely appreciate the value of down time. However, I guess I don't understand scheduling a patient at down time when the office isn't set up to see someone at that time. Now I'm making an assumption here about the 4 other patients already waiting by the time I was called up. I'm assuming that since the office only has 1 doctor, all of those patients had to wait for me and then each other at some point. Despite the indication of this slight mismanagement of time, I still feel that this doctor and his staff is above average. Let's see how my follow up visit goes! read more

I have had glasses since I was a child so I have had a lot of experience with eye doctors. Dr. Geisse, is an exceptional doctor. Very thorough and caring. Making extra sure that my eyes were throughly examined and I was fully informed of my issues going forward. His staff is also caring and thorough. I highly recommend this doctor. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Geisse for many years, and could not be more satisfied. I only have vision in one eye, and Dr. Geisse gives me a very comprehensive exam every year to ensure that any issues are addressed proactively. Dr. Geisse also treated my father, into his 90s, until his death. My dad had vision problems and Dr. Geisse went far out of his way to provide the best possible care in my dad's final years -- even coming to his house on a couple of occasions. This is not to mention his incredible level of competency, as indicated in our care as well as in his resume. I just can't imagine a more thoughtful or competent ophthalmologist than Dr. Geisse. The only caveat is that the parking lot is too small for the building it serves, and it can take a few minutes to find an available spot -- which also must be paid for at the time you park. So allow a little extra time for that. read more

Both my wife and I have been seeing Dr Geisse for years. He is professional, knowledgeable and very kind. He is always thorough and takes time to explain and answer questions. He is reassuring and you know he cares about your wellbeing. He is the best! read more

Dr. Geisse has to be one of the greatest Doctors out there. He is knowledgeable, professional, a great communicator, listener and empathetic. I needed Cataract surgery and didn't even know what a Cataract was. He took the time to educate me and explained the procedure in terms I could understand. When he saw that I was still a little antsy about the surgery ( hell, I was scared) he told me he would talk me through it all while he was working. First procedure went so well I was ready to have the other eye done right then. But ever the professional he made me wait a month. Not only did he do a great job on my eyes he saved me money. Before going to Dr. Geisse I thought I needed a new television. Now with Dr. Geisses help I can see what High Definition is. read more

Dr Geisse is a great eye doctor. He takes his time with each patient and gives them undivided attention. That being said, this place can never stick to a time schedule. Every time I come here I am not seen for at least an hour after my appointment. Being a person that is always on time and arrives early to appointments, I find this to be extremely irritating. I think they need to schedule less appointments throughout the day if they can't stick to the time schedule. read more

The doctor was a knowledgeable man and the office staff were very courteous. Given that this was an emergency - sudden onset of double vision -I was given a same day appointment right away which showed compassion and I was relieved to be taken in at such short notice . I have no complaints about Dr Geisse or his office staff who were professional and kind . Let it be known I have waited over a year to post this review and so the technician in question may no longer be employed which would be a blessing . The doctor's technician - however - was someone void of compassion and should not be working in the field of medicine. If you have a common eye ailment ..then by all means go . However, if you have an uncommon ailment ... be ready for condescension from the technician ! If she can't diagnose your problem quickly .. she turns heinously unkind , rude and robotic ... Mocking and sarcastic in her tone and impatient when you can't answer her questions to her satisfaction in the time allotted - as if any sudden onset - double vision sufferer could !! Truly... Avoid her at all cost ! I hope Dr Geisse has replaced her with a more nurturing and caring technician. Someone who seeks to heal not someone who makes sport of a patient who can't see correctly . A most horrid experience at the hands of the technician. She would be better suited for employment that didn't involved working with the human species. Perhaps as an Entomologist. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Geisse's at his Los Alamitos office. I had a mystery ailment where my eyes were red and irritated for the better part of one year. After seeing him, he diagnosed correctly that my eyes were not closing while I slept. He gave me the solution to the problem, and now my eyes are recovering. He is incredibly knowledgeable and answered every single one of my questions when I saw him. I recommend him at any of his offices if you have eye health problems. He's one of the best! read more

Dr. Geisse is not only very good at what he does but he cares about his patients deeply. He goes above and beyond!

I feel fortunate that a colleague recommended Dr. Geisse's office to me a few years ago. I've worn glasses for nearly 40 years now, and this office is by far the best I've been to. Dr. Geisse is awesome - super detailed, takes the time to understand your situation, provides thorough explanations, and is clearly an expert. His staff is great - everyone has specific roles and expertise and the office runs very smoothly. Eric and Peggy Sue in the optical department are absolute gems. I've gotten great advice from them regarding frames, they're super thorough with measurements to ensure the lenses are perfect, and they take great care to ensure the fit is perfect when the glasses arrive (which is critical for me to avoid migraines). I very much appreciate them going above & beyond by repairing temples on a couple pairs of glasses that I nearly broke by accidentally falling asleep with them on. read more

Taking my 96 year-old mother to an appointment with Dr. Geisse is always a pleasure. As a businessman, I am fed up with doctors running their BUSINESS as if they were doing a favor to the clients who come through their doors and pay their bills, and the astonishing arrogance of the staffs of so many I have dealt with, who apparently have never been schooled in the fact that THEY can be dispensed with, the paying customer cannot. Dr. Geisse is kind, funny, very knowledgable and takes the time to explain to my very lucid mother exactly what he is doing and how she can best care for her eyes. His staff are ALL wonderful. Sometimes the wait is a little long, but because he has chosen to run a private medical business and not become part of an execrable corporate medical nightmare like Optum Care, whose motivating principle is greed, not patient care, this is something we can deal with. 5-stars, and well deserved! read more
