We researched the list of opthamologists in our area (note-in and out of our medical insurance coverage). He consulted with 3 different doctors and chose Dr Bilder. He made my husband feel at ease. Explained everything in detail and answered all questions. Surgery went smoothly. My husband had no issues, was pain free, and noticed improvement in sight. Dr. Bilder called that evening to check on him. My husband is looking forward to having other eye done and seeing clearly again. Highly recommend Dr. Dr. Bilder. His entire staff was friendly, thorough, professional.

It's an all around awesome office! Great atmosphere! Would highly recommend. My only thing is I wish they also carried/fitted/ordered kids glasses too. But either way it's a wonderful office!

We were referred to Dr. Schoedel by our family eye doctor because my daughter, who was 9 months old…read moreat the time, was experiencing symptoms of strabismus in both eyes - each would dart in depending on which direction she was looking. The wait was VERY LONG each time we went (at least 45-60 minutes behind schedule), which is difficult with a baby/toddler. Dr. Schoedel seemed very knowledgable so we stayed with her for several months, but from everything we had read and researched, we thought our daughter needed to have surgery. She suggested we try glasses first, so we did, and spent a couple hundred dollars. We went back 6 weeks later, she said it looked like my daughter may be a candidate for surgery, but wanted to try another prescription so we had to buy new lenses. We went back several times, after the glasses did not work, and she said that surgery was the only thing that would work. Of course, we had already paid for several visits and the glasses, second set of lenses (totaling more than $500) and we were now into a new plan year on our health insurance and would have to pay for a large portion of the surgery and anesthesia, and there was a sense of urgency - she said we needed to do it soon so as not to lose anymore time. She scheduled the surgery for three weeks out. Needless to say, we were not thrilled about waiting for so long and then rushed, so we sought a second opinion with Dr. Repka at Johns Hopkins. It's only a 25-30 minute drive south and our experience with him was phenomenal (he did my daughter's surgery). I have several friends who take their kids to Dr. Schoedel and are happy with her care...I just wanted my daughter to have the best care possible, and was very glad I made the decision to see Dr. Repka.

It's an actual pleasure to go to this practice! (Except for the eye-drops and the "puff" machine)…read more I've been going annually for about 10 years now. And had both lenses replaced by Dr. Rommel 2 years ago. The nurse assistants and Dr. Rommel are not only very good at their jobs but are very personable and appear to take an actual interest in the patient's well-being throughout each visit. The advice and suggestions for my better eye health and general health (at my age of 81) that they offer are both intelligent and helpful. I cannot imagine any better eye care anywhere than I get at Manning & Rommel Associates. Note: The "review mafia" must have put this place on their "hit-list" for some reason. None of the "no stars" reviews are valid, in my opinion. Seems like some of them were meant for another practice and submitted here in error.

When I left the office it was near closing time and there were no other patients in the reception area. To make things worse, no apologies from anyone! I only went back to that practice because of a recommendation from my eye doctor, but never again!!! I hope Thode sees this because him and his staff need to do better.
