Dr. Digre is awesome! I just really like her and respect her. She has helped me so much! She's great!!!

May 20, 2013

The Doctors at the Moran Eye Center are also VERY GOOD singers. Thanks for the Birthday song. It really made my year!

May 20, 2013

Dr. Digre is thorough and while extremely busy, takes time to discuss issues while she is teaching residents and medical students. She is the consummate teacher and practitioner.

May 14, 2013

The time spent with Dr. Digre was very valuable. She asks good questions and developed a very specific plan for me to implement over the months in between visits. This is very helpful when you are waiting for a follow-up appointment.

May 13, 2013

Dr. Digre is very personable and thorough about the history of my son's condition. She was able to discuss what conditions are related to the Glaucoma as well as willing to consult with other Neurologists about his x-rays, etc. and other possibly related conditions. I really appreciate her looking at my son and all of his symptoms and not just the Glaucoma and headaches. She knew rightaway the type of headache he has and has advised me to return in the fall/winter when the headache comes back to discuss the medications at that time.

May 07, 2013

Overall, I felt that this was a positive experience. However, I did feel like there were times when Dr. Digre did not listen completely to what I was trying to say about my symptoms.

April 29, 2013

Dr. Digre always takes plenty of time to understand the problems and goes the extra mile to help in any way she can. Her depth of caring is unequaled in medicine and is much appreciated.

March 12, 2013

I feel Dr. Digre was very thorough, I'm very satified with her. All the staff were great.

March 11, 2013

SHE'S THE BESTEST as they ALL ARE .

March 08, 2013

If there was a rating higher than Very Good, it would be checked. What a great doctor.

March 08, 2013

I was somewhat insulted and caught off guard by Dr. Digre's comments on my preventative care with my migraines and her off the wall comments on how I dealt with my pain. She made no apology for not responding to the numerous messages left while she was at her Head Convention and the times I was in the office for shots and in the hospital. I feel as though I am doing everything in my power to get better, I hate pills. I have done my best to make life changes in my diet, exercise, stress management to get rid of these migraines but still need Dr. Digre's help. She is very knowledgable and wonderful, but there seems to be a communication breakdown somewhere.

February 25, 2013

Dr. Digre is the very BEST doctor I have ever been seen by. Very smart and energetic. I appreciate how accurate she is with her diagnosis. Thank you!

February 11, 2013

Dr. Digre is an excellent doctor. We have seen many doctors over the years and she is by far the best.

February 04, 2013

I had a good experience. Everyone was extremely polite. Thank you.

January 30, 2013

I'm especially appreciative of the time Dr. Digre spends with her patients--both fon the exams and on the explanations/consults. I never feel as if I'm just being rushed through the appt with cursory attention. That kind of concern is especially rare in medicine today, I'm afraid. Thank you.

January 17, 2013

good

December 26, 2012

Dr. Digre is always very concerned about my eye and neurological problems and is able to help me work with other doctors when there is a legitimate need.

December 19, 2012

Dr. Degri has been the best doctor I have ever seen.

December 15, 2012

Could not be better.

December 10, 2012

Truly excellent in her skill and exceptionally responsive to my medical needs. One of the most exceptional physicians as a humanitarian... and I am a physician also... know when someone really cares immediately.

December 09, 2012

Dr. Digre was the epitome of a physician. She presented as someone who is obviously deserving of the high praise I heard of her from many sources. She left no stone unturned, asked questions trying to come to the cause of my headaches. The amount of time she spent with me astounded me, as I know how busy she is. She carefully explained the anatomy of a "migraine brain," and gave me information I needed to make an informed decision about my treatment. She gave me several options, and many things to think about. After I left, she called me, and said she'd been reviewing my meds, and decided to make a change in my prescriptions. I appreciate so much the level of concern for my well being, and would recommend her (and the office) to anyone! Sincerest thanks for all you have done for me!

December 09, 2012

She gave me hope , she spent a great amount time with my history and me. very thorough.

November 29, 2012

I feel like I was put on medications that I have already tried and failed to work for me. I was really hoping for something different to try as a preventative.

November 28, 2012

I have tremendous confidence in Dr. Digree and the staff and have hope for a resolution to my problem. I am very impressed with the mychart product and find it useful and informative.

October 22, 2012

Dr. Digre deserves her reputation as the guru of migraines. She is simply outstanding.

October 09, 2012

Dr. Digre LISTENED to me and was very empathetic and thorough. She said she would work as hard as she could to find the answers and get me some RELIEF. She gets an A plus!

October 05, 2012

My quality of life, I know, would not be as good as it is if not for Dr. Digre. She is a real blessing.

October 04, 2012

I have complete confidence in Dr Digree. She has always been able to properly diagnose my visual problems, where other opthomologists have been lacking. I appreciate her expertice, knowledge and skill.

September 19, 2012

I have recommended Dr. Digre to 5 other people because of the great quality of care and advice that I received. Very thankful to have someone (finally) that can help me.

September 17, 2012

Dr. Digre treats me as if i were her only patient and my needs are her most important priority. We couldn't ask for a more compassionate and caring doctor, always going the extra mile.

August 13, 2012

I was very impressed by the care that I received. I would definitely recommend Dr Digre & and Moran Eye Center to anyone in need.

August 10, 2012

What can I say? Dr. Digre is the best! It never feels as though she is rushing through my appointment and she always listens to what I am saying VERY carefully and makes sure that I completely understand the plan and am ok with it.

July 30, 2012

Dr. Digre is very thorough and offers her best suggestions although I have not yet taken the medication she has recommended. I just don't want another pill.

July 16, 2012

High quality people giving care and service

July 16, 2012

very good

July 10, 2012

I have always had a great experience at The Moran Eye Center. Dr. Digre is just the best. The PA's and others have always been so friendly and prompt.

July 09, 2012

Outstanding care. I could go on and on with praise. but I'll just say that everyone who

July 02, 2012

Dr. Digre and her fellow were respectful, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They gave us answers and hope where other doctors had just told us they had no idea what to do. They treated my husband and me with respect and kindness. I would definitely re

June 29, 2012

This is one of the best experiences I have had

June 29, 2012

Dr Digre is an amazing doctor. She gave me an increible amount of information. My issues are in regard t o the way I was ushered out at the end of the day. It had been a long day for both of us I'm sure, however, in only having met me on the day of my visit I needed to dicuss further the information given and needed further questions answered. I disagree with some of the findings and would have liked to clarify that information further. When I asked some questions the doctor gave cliche' answers. Again, was completely impressed with Dr. Digre's knowlege and the information, but left the office feeling deflated and rushed out the door with many unanswered questions.

June 18, 2012

Dr. Digre is #1 in my book. She shows the same concern every time I have an appointment. I have come to rely on her expertise. I feel extremely blessed to have Dr. Digre as my care provider.

June 13, 2012

I am always impressed with the degree at which Dr. Digre shows compassion and concern. She also shows a positive impression for a good outlook and confidence.

June 13, 2012

the dr spent a lot of time which i really appreciate, but sometimes seemed to disregard the symptoms i described. then i was concerned when i got the followup ltr and there were inaccuracies in it. not sure if the dr or nurse typed up the report, but it was misleading

June 08, 2012

The care provider seemed really interested in may case, helped clear up some questions I had, and was helpful with suggestions for what I could do to reduce number of incidents I get.

June 08, 2012

Dr. Digre is an excellent example of what a great Dr. is: she shows concerns, uses words and make sure that i understood and shows concern about my problems, excellent Dr. with attention to detail and compassion for her patients.

June 04, 2012

A "Very good" rating is too low to express my rating.

May 10, 2012

Much more positive experience this visit. I appreciate this very much. Congratulations to Dr. Digre and her husband on the distinguished award they received. They surely deserved it!

May 10, 2012

Dr. Digre is wonderful! I wish she had better people working with her. John and Ann act like they can't be bothered with patients. It's bad. But like I said, Dr. Digre is wonderful! She is a great doctor! She has helped me very much over the past years.

April 17, 2012

My experience at the Neurology Dept., from the making of the appointment, to the registering, the vitals taken, and my time with Dr. Digree could NOT be improved. I've had superb and thoughtful attention, and caring attention.

March 29, 2012

very good

March 29, 2012

The entire process of my visit to the clinic was as comfortable, comforting informative as I can imagine it could be. My confidence in my doctor and the staff is absolute. I will and have been recommending this clinic and doctor to anyone who will listen.

March 27, 2012

very good she is awesome

March 22, 2012

It took four years to find solutions to my problems and I found them here!

March 20, 2012

I have been to many different doctors trying to figure out my headaches. I have never felt so understood and had such a detailed examination. I felt like there was a plan in place and a direction to follow when I left the office. I have never had a doctor spend so much time with me and make me feel like I was the only patient in the office at that time. I really was so grateful for this visit.

January 26, 2012

Dr. Digre was great the resident was a little degrading in how she responded to me at times.

January 26, 2012

Wish all doctors communicated as well and cared

January 05, 2012

everything covered previously re: time issues

January 05, 2012

You all are doing a great service with your knowledge of our eyes etc.

January 05, 2012

Dr. Digre was the first to have much of answer for all this, other than Dr Scheuller who sent me to you, can't tell you how much relief it was just to know what we are dealing with

January 05, 2012

My only comment is that Dr. Digre talked a little too fast and it felt like she was hurrying a little too fast to get us done and out the door. Maybe she always works that fast. But it felt like it had been a long hard day with an unusual happening in the office that delayed things a lot and we were the last patient of the day and she was in a hurry to get us through and out the door. She really talked fast and it was hard to follow her and keep up.
