Dr. Andrew J Packer, MD

Dr. Packer did my retinal tear surgery a couple of years ago. Regular follow ups have shown that the surgery repaired all of the tears completely. He explained everything all along the way, and is a kind, decent person.

Dr. Packer had been taking care of my retina for 13 years. Although he is very busy and wait times are often long, he always take as much time as needed with me. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a retina specialist.

'Very intelligent, thorough, and compassionate. Excellent visit and exam. The wait was well worth it.

My husband has been under the care of Dr. Packer for about 3 years. Dr. Packer is thorough in his care; advising on the next step, never pushing. After a considerable amount of time and treatment, my husband has 20/25 vision in both eyes. We are very happy with the results.

Wonderful doctor, tips on his field, and the only doctor I trust my eyes to. I highly recommend him.

I had a detached retina. DR Packer saw me on short notice, quickly scheduled the surgery and my vision in that eye is now 20/25 with glasses (better than before the surgery). His office visits are about two hours, but well worth the wait for excellent eye care. He also takes care of my 102 year old Aunt who gets injections in her eyes and she always has nice things to say about him because he comes across as caring and warm.

Had retinal surgery by Dr. Packer 8 years ago to repair hole in center of retina, causing a loss of my central vision. Was apprehensive about being "awake" during surgery but did what .Dr. Packer felt was best. Wasn't aware of anything during procedure! Recovery required laying on my stomach 23 hrs. a day, head up only for meals, bathroom trips, and for all those eyedrops! Used straws to drink, kept room darkened, had a board in bed to keep me from rolling over during sleep. Talking books were great! There w as very little post op discomfort. I think I took pain med. one or two time s. On 8th day healing allowed me resume normal activity except for lifting or exertion. I thank Dr. Packer for saving my eyesight.

Waited 2 1/2 hours to see Dr. Packer and this isn’t the first time I’ve had a long wait. So frustrating. Office staff just laughs it off as it’s a usual occurrence!

In 2006, Dr. Packer performed a delicate surgery on my left eye to repair a macular hole which caused the absence of usable vision in that eye. Careful post surgical monitoring and long term follow-up care assured excellent recovery and continuing eye health and functioning over time. Today, my left eye has better vision that my right eye! I am grateful for the gift given to me through this wonderful physician. Thank you, Dr. Packer

Have had annual appointments with Dr. Packer for 13 years. He has literally saved and enhanced my vision.

I have been a patient of Dr. Packer for close to 20 years. Although I have lived with Diabetes for 56 years my vision has been meticulously cared for under his guidance. Dr. Packer provided laser surgery approximately 18 years ago and has kept a close eye on my vision over these many years. He has written letters and made recommendations to his medical peers and my other physicians which have delighted me. At the age of 61 I do wear reading glasses but nothing else. I feel this is remarkable. Thank you Doctor!

Last year Dr. Packer performed surgery on my retina to correct a macular pucker. Improvement was excellent. Recovery was quick and easy. Just allow sufficient time for office visits.

Dr. Packer provided me with a great deal of information re the surgery he would perform. After surgery, he was very generous with the time he gave us to answer questions and concerns.

I've been a patient of Dr Packer's since 2008, after receiving emergency retina surgery while on vacation in Tennesse. Dr Packer and his support personnel are always extremely friendly and helpful. Dr Packer has provided great council and has kept both my eyes in tip top shape since my 2008 retina surgery and I trust his care and judgement explicitly.

Professional, courteous, friendly. Prompt diagnosis and treatment for wet macular degeneration saved my vision.

I had and acute "macular hole" develop (52 years old) in my left eye in September 2005. I immediately saw my eye doctor and he made and appointment to see a Retina Specialist the next day. Thankfully I was referred to Dr. Andrew Packer. He evaluated my situation and said I needed surgery as soon as possible With compassion and professionalism he explained all that he would be doing to repair the damage. I put my full trust in him and went in for surgery 2 days later. He repaired the "macular hole" and gave me the instructions to help my eye heal properly. I followed his instruction closely. That was 12 years ago and I have been blessed with great eye health and vision. Dr. Packer is extremely knowledgeable in the technique to repair the damage that was occurring.I continue to see Dr. Packer and he is very pleased with the outcome of my situation. I have extreme confidence in Dr. Packer and would recommend him for any eye care that requires the specialty that he has studied and continues to study and practices.

service by the doctor and staff was very pleasant. Questions were answered and procedures explained. Retinal surgery was done on site and the entire procedure was quick and generally pain free. Needed pictures took about 1 hour and then the doctor reviewed them.

Dr. Packer & his staff made me feel at ease regarding my retina surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Packer. Your vision is something to take seriously and you couldn't be in better hands. A special thanks to Lizzy!

Dr. Packer solved a problem that previous MDs has brushed aside. He is a great listener, and I appreciate his dry sense of humor.
