Success Stories

AWESOME!!!! The Doctor and his staff were wonderful! I am not the easiest patient with my extremely high myopia, but they were able to get me fitted with just two visits, that in itself is pretty amazing! I had been seeing my previous doctor for about 12 years, but I have a new wonderful doctor in Dr. Marquardt. I will look forward to seeing you all next year, and hopefully soon will be able to get Lasik. It means the world to me that the doctor and his staff really cared for me and my eyes, and didn't make fun of me when I actually cried because I often worry about the health of my eyes, and also it is usually very difficult to get my eyesight just right due to the extreme case that I am. THANK YOU DOCTOR MARQUARDT, AND HIS WONDERFUL STAFF, with all my heart! See you next January!

Your forever grateful patient,

Sabrina,
You went above and beyond to help me find GREAT frames that fit my face and looked good on me! Thanks for helping me get all the upgrades to making my glasses serve me well. You're the greatest!!

I don't know how those girls do all the work that they do and so well. Thanks for all you've done for me personally in helping me with my glasses and thank goodness all Dr. Marquardt's patients don't require as much time as I do in your office selecting glasses. Ha! Thanks alot! Keep up the good work.

Every time I come here I feel welcome and everyone is concerned about taking very good care of me. My first visit with Dr. Marquardt was very impressive in that he was very patient and he took all the time needed for me to have an excellent result with my prescription.

I just want to thank each of you for being so wonderful. I've worn contacts for 20 years and I've never had a doctor that spent so much time making sure I saw my best or a staff that was as patient as you have been. You are all a rare and precious commodity. Thanks again and I pray that each of you have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
With Great Thanks,

I love my new glasses!! I was really impressed with how it improved my vision. I no longer have to go back and re-read my assignments. I can really fly through those pages now. Studying goes so much faster! I no longer have to memorize what I read, I just read it and I remember what I read now with the help of my new glasses. And I love those new prescription eye drops you prescribed. My eyes have never been this white and moist. My eyes no longer itch or have allergy problems. I am so glad I met you!!

I attended this visit with my 8 year old daughter and the doctor and his staff were FABULOUS in making her feel comfortable and special during her exam and picking out her new glasses!! Thank you so much!!

I had some issues with getting glasses in general--I did not want them--my prescription is very low, but due to my eyes I needed bifocals, and I was having a BIG problem with this! Sylvia helped me and was great! I ended up not getting the bifocal because of insurance issues, but I appreciate the time that she spent with me to help me get the frames that I liked and she was very patient. Even though I did get a very low script, it has made a big difference, I no longer have a nagging headache at the end of the day. This is worth all of the stress about having to wear glasses!! Thank you!!

This is the best OD's office I've ever been to, which is why I've been a patient so long.

My story: Being extremely nearsighted from the age of 7 and getting worse every time I had a check-up, I had no hope at all of ever seeing normally without glasses. Blaming the last vision exam and lenses for a left eye that was getting weaker almost by the day, I went to see Dr. Terry thinking he could give me better lenses. Instead he told me I had cataracts and glaucoma. End of the world? No! After many visits and testing Terry told me I could have both eyes operated on and have a man-made lens installed to replace the ones with cataracts. And he told me I may not have to wear glasses after this. Did I believe him? No. After wearing extra-strong glasses for 52 years it was hard to believe. Am I a believer now? You betcha! After the first operation he tested me and I had 20-20! To me this is a miracle. I only wear reading glasses now and maybe my vision has stabilized to less than 20-20 but it is still a miracle. I do not take this miracle for granted and I thank Dr. Terry and his staff who were so helpful and understanding as I went through the steps to having better vision than I was born with!

We received our glasses today. I can not tell you how ecstatic I am!!! Since Sept. 2006 (date of my last eye exam and glasses prescription) I have hated my glasses and refused to go back to the doctor after I had revisited him once and insisted that something was wrong with my prescription. He told me I just had to get "adjusted to the new one". I explained the issue to Dr. Marquardt and he was so thorough and explained the problems with the old RX to me and told me how he was going to fix the problem. HE DID!!! I could not be more pleased with how I see through these lenses of how the glasses look on my face. I LOVE MY GLASSES!!! I have never said that, and I have been in glasses/contacts since I was 9 years old!!! I am now 40. thank you, thank you, thank you a thousand times to Dr. Marquardt. I am beaming and proud to be sporting my new glasses. I know the praise may sound like overkill to some, but it is the truth. We are all so happy with our glasses. Our daughter is jealous and can't wait for a return trip to Alamogordo so she can get the same treatment.

I was working on my car's engine and left my glasses on the block, slammed the hood down. Later when I realized where I left my glasses , I raised the hood. The frames were really bent and the lenses were totally scratch free.
