List of James W Felch's Reviews
Very friendly and easy to deal with. He explains exams and eye conditions well, using lay-language. Staff accommodating, smiling, helpful.

I don't doubt Dr. Felch's expertise, but I was blindsided with a $400+ bill for a very short visit and quick exam. I can't afford this; I won't be back.

I don't doubt Dr Felch's skill, but I for one can't afford $400+ for a very short visit (and brief exam). Not going back.

I tried Multiple times over a number of visits to get him to listen to me about my eye complaints, blurriness, glare, pain, and night blindness. He said there was nothing wrong except dry eyes. I went for a second opinion and was shocked to discover that I actually have several issues going on that Dr. Felch had never addressed at all. Extremely disappointed

Dr Felch performed cataract surgery and a lens implant on my right eye. I could not be more pleased. He’s great, very easy to talk to and his staff was great. Left eye is scheduled for next week!

After having cataract surgery on Dec 5th and 12th my wife is still having difficulty getting correct lens prescription. She has been without the use of glasses since that time. We have had her glasses made twice and still not correct. My advice is to stay away from this doctor.

Had my second visit with Dr. Felch yesterday (last one was a year ago.) As before, Dr. Felch conducted a thorough examination. Unlike some other doctors I no longer visit, he did not rush through the examination (I don't like doctors who appear to be in a "hurry" and appear obsessed with seeing lots of patients.) I would have no difficulty in recommending Dr. Felch if one of my friends or family members requested a referral.

Do not see this doctor. Tests are inadequate. I was a patient of his for 9 years and am going blind due to a missed diagnosis.

Didn't pay attention to what I was telling him and kept putting me off till my eye was not repairable and no cure. Very lucky I didn't sue.

Dr. Felch has been my doctor for at least thirty five years. He has also been my son's doctor when my son was four years old. He caught a condition in my son's eye early enough for treatment and my son is fine today. He has taken care of me and I have had two cataract surgeries by him. I was extremely comfortable and did well during and after my surgeries. Thank goodness I had Dr. Felch as my physician. He is absolutely tops!

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
