Patient Reviews
May 10, 2019
Dr. Messerschmidt saw me for an eye appointment with a special emphasis on checking my optic nerves due to a pituitary condition I have. He found damage to my optic nerve and also was concerned about an eyelid eczema condition I have. He made sure I was receiving appropriate treatment for that and advised me as to risks of medications. He offered to split my bill out into medical vs. optical portions so that my family could be reimbursed by our healthshare coop, since we don't have insurance. Very caring, intelligent doctor!
