Dr. Shiple has always answered my questions and explained tests and procedures thoroughly during yearly office visits. I'm particularly grateful for his taking the extra time and care needed to perform cataract surgery on my eye that had suffered structural damage in an accident 35 yrs. ago. "Slowly and carefully" I heard him describe the surgery that resulted in the successful insertion of a new lens. I'm very grateful and appreciate not only his professional expertise, but his thoughtful care and time during the surgery. Read review
I selected Dr. Hardin out of a practice of very knowledgable and skilled doctors because I liked his obvious intelligence, his analytical bent (very focused on evaluating the information) and the obvious respect he commanded with his team. He did my surgery flawlessly and recommended a solution that has exceeded my expectations. Though he is a specialist in glaucoma, my surgery was cataract with an astigmatism and lazy eye thrown in. My eye has not worked properly for over 40 years and now it does. Thanks Dr. Hardin. Read review

I consulted with Dr. Lane on short notice before scheduling a MOS procedure just below my right eye. She assured me there would be no damage to my vision due to the procedure. She recommended surgical repair to the site immediately following the procedure. Her office made all necessary arrangements with the UVMMC and her office. Both procedures were carried out on time and successfully. Prior to commencing Dr. Lane described in detail what her plan involved. The surgery was quick. Post surgical effects were described. Aftercare was described in detail. The effects were minimal. Both the Dr. and patient are well pleased. Dr. Lane treated me with professionalism, patience and humor throughout. I recommend her without reservation. Read review

I'm completely satisfied with the services I received at Ophthalmic Consultants. Dr. Shiple was great to work with - very competent and inspired confidence in his ability and experience, but also personable and down to earth. My cataract surgeries in both eyes went smoothly, and the results are nothing short of miraculous to me. I threw away my old glasses! I'll need new ones to correct astigmatism and provide bifocals for reading, but being able to see clearly at distance even without the glasses now is something I never could have dreamed of. A positive experience all around. Read review

My guy was Doctor Joshua Hardin & I think he is the best. Dr. Hardin removed cataracts from my left eye & then my right. He gave me a choice, so I chose the distance vision upgrade. Both procedures were painless. In fact, I was quite apprehensive before the first surgery; but, I had absolutely no fears for the second eye. I am totally impressed. In fact, I told Dr. Hardin that he could take the rest of the day off & to give himself a raise. (Bobism). Read review
The total experience with my cataract surgeries was nothing more than excellent. The staff was attentive and calming. Dr. Shiple's pre-op consultation was clear and thorough.

Hesitant to have surgery, but the preliminary discussions put me at ease. Surgery was great! Follow up checks went well. Highly commend Dr Shiple and staff! Read review
I was initially apprehensive about having surgery done on my eyes as it is such a delicate and fragile area of the body. On my first appointment I spent about 2-3 hours having my eyes checked to see if I was a good candidate for either LASIK or PRK. Everyone I interacted with in the office was very helpful and more than happy to answer any questions I had. In addition to that, multiple staff members asked me if I had any questions after they discussed results with me. I ended up being a candidate for either LASIK or PRK and decided to opt for moving forward with LASIK. My second appointment was pre-op care and the operation, which took place in a surgical suite in the office itself. Throughout the process everyone was very supportive. Though LASIK was not exactly a fun procedure, I felt very safe and confident in the providers' skills all along the way. Dr. McCormick and his OR girls were great.That was two weeks ago. Prior to this I had to wear glasses at all times to function. Words can't describe how amazing it is to wake up now and see the world clearly with just my own eyes. To me, you just can't put a price tag on being able to see unassisted. I also want to send a special thanks to Sam for helping me coordinate each step of the process, she is so sweet and made me feel very well cared for. If I had to do it again I would trust this practice with my eyes in a heartbeat. Thank you all for giving me the gift of sight! Read review
I was referred here by my Optometrist and Dr. Lane was able to address my problem. She is a great communicator, and presented me with different solutions. Read review
Always a terrific experience. Katherine Lane is an artist and her deep medical background and knowledge of facial muscles and contours enhances her abilities. I use dysport and various dermal fillers and find that her approach is extremely individualized - she tailors what she does to enhance your particular look. I always have confidence in whatever she suggests and I'm never disappointed! Plus, she manages to be both professional and fun at the same time - what could be better! Read review

I've had an excellent experience at this practice and with Dr. Shiple and his team. I had an issue which I learned to be a pinquecula in one eye, and Dr. Shiple's analysis, discussion and suggested treatment was professional, direct and to the point (which I greatly appreciate). The surgery was on time, and happened exactly as I expected. After care follow up has been awesome so far and I have total trust in this group. Nothing but great things to say, I will heartily recommend him and his staff. Read review
Very professional staff. Sam and Ashley were so great to work with. I always left the office thinking that these people made me feel comfortable. The actual surgery was so fast and Dr McCormick is quite skilled and my left eye (just had one eye done) went from 20/50 vision to 20/15! Keep in mind it takes more time for near vision to fully heal. I work with screens (Dealer.com) and was glad to take a full week off before returning to screens 8 hours/day. This is the best and I couldnt be happier. Thanks Team!! Read review

Dr. Shiffle was terrific! Although I heard and witnessed ridiculous wait times with other physicians in the group, my experience was terrific. The whole group, anesthesiologist, nurses, phlebotomist, receptionist were all 100%. And I dont believe in giving 5 stars, in general.I was extremely nervous for the first eye, but I was just dozing away while waiting for surgery on my second eye. I would give them 5 stars even if I had to wait.Skilled and personable Read review

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Lane to anyone. She took care of a pesky cyst in my eye, right near the tear duct; a very scary area to have a surgical procedure in.

I hope for whatever surgical procedure your eyes need, you get referred to her. absolutely positive experience all around. Read review

Dr. Lane performed two surgeries on me. The first was lifting the bottom lid so that tears or drops wouldn't run down my cheeks. The second was raising the upper lid and brow to take the excess skin off my eyelashes which were pushing against my eye and was impeding my sight in the left eye. I am not fully healed yet, but the difference in my sight is incredible. My eye no longer burns or becomes foggy. Dr. Lane is professional and listened to my concerns and put up with my quirky sense of humor. I feel very happy to have such a great individual as my doctor. Read review
Dr. McCormick (and his team!) made me feel so welcome and calm throughout the entire LASIK procedure. He answered all my questions and made sure I had as much information as possible.

I have been getting Botox and Dysport treatments with Dr. Lane for years. Now that I am in my late 30s, and a mother of two young children, I have been bothered by dark circles under my eyes and an overall appearance of being tired. Dr. Lane used fillers in my cheeks and under my eyes and I am beyond excited with the results. My eyes look brighter, younger and refreshed. I couldn't be happier! Thank you to Dr. Lane and her wonderful team for helping me regain my confidence! Read review

You have a good office of nice, supportive staff, and very competent. The phone work is also efficient. COVID 19 measures, perfect. The paperwork, while copious, was clear. Now: I have a Master's Degree. I had two appointments with Dr. McC, and a short phone call ($175). I saw the Seven Days video clip. I spoke with associates there. There was a random questionnaire the morning of my pre-op (not in my packet),. And yet still, 2 weeks post-op now, I do not understand the choices I was given regarding lens option/vision options. It was confusing! Friends ask me, Did you go for the no-glasses choice, or far or near or...? I don't know! There was a mistake during the first pre-op (near), changed during the second (far). Perhaps, could I suggest, you need a Fact Sheet or explanatory note very early, in the packet, or possibly a video, or a better outline of the possibilities. Please ditch that questionnaire; no one read it or discussed it with me and it just sowed doubt into what I wanted and what I was to get. This is my main feedback. I know other patients are confused, too -- I was told as much while in your office and trying to figure out the glasses/no glasses/contact/far, near...Thank you for understanding! This one change could make for an excellent experience. Read review
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McCormick to my family and friends .

I was extremely pleased with my meeting with Dr. McCormick and both surgeries were quick and painless. Great team there at the Surgery Center. My only complaint was the waits for the follow-up appointments - waiting over an hour after the original appointment time is truly unnecessary; the second operation follow-up was not quite as long, but again close to 45 min. I understand emergencies come up but if they truly had a handle on the scheduling in the office, this should not happen! Read review

Dr. Shiple's practice was recommended to me by my Optometrist, Dora Sudarsky, DO, of Shelburne Road, South Burlington,VT. I am very pleased with the entire practice of Opthalmic Consultants of Vermont. Dr. Shiple is delightful to interact with, as he has a relaxed, yet professional demeanor. He asks continually if you are comfortable, and if you have any questions to each medical statement he makes. I had one cataract removal surgery last year and could hardly wait for my second eye to be "ready" for its cataract removal, now coming-up soon. I spoke so highly of the Practice, Dr.Shiple specifically, and Dr. Spitelli, an Opthalmic Surgeon and anesthesiologist that my husband has had his cataract surgery with the same practice. Entire staff is professional, kind and respectful. I highly recommend! Read review

Dr McCormick performed cataract surgery on my right eye. He diagnosed the condition, performed the surgery, and provided after care. Dr McCormick provided all the appropriate professional advice, but let me make the decisions. He took the time to understand my individual wants and needs, and explained the risk, benefit trade offs. His staff both in the office and the surgical center were knowledgeable, efficient and caring. Dr McCormick performs the most cataract surgeries of any surgeon in Vermont, and his results show it. My treatment went exactly as planned, and I ended up with 20/20 vision with no discomfort during and after surgery. The improvement in vision clarity and reduction of glare was dramatic. His use of an outpatient surgical facility made the logistics more convenient and reduced the costs significantly compared to a bill from the hospital. Overall a pleasant experience. I couldn't speak more highly of Dr McCormick. Read review

Cataract surgery. Fantastic care and service. Dr. McCormick is wonderful, as was the entire staff at his office and at the surgical center. Read review
Dr. McCormick was thorough and kind. Before my lasik procedure, he walked me through everything and answered all my questions. The lasik procedure itself went really smoothly and I felt prepared and comfortable. It has been a year since my lasik surgery and I couldnt be happier with the results. My vision is still perfect. The entire team at Ophthalmic Consultants of Vermont took great care of me. Read review
Dr Kate Lane is an amazing Ophthalmologist and a very caring and talented surgeon. I have total faith in her; she has performed several surgeries on my eyes in the last few years. The office, albeit very busy, runs extremely smoothly and all staff are professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Lane or anyone in her office. Read review
Everyone in this practice is helpful and informative making the experience easy and comfortable. Great planning and on schedule surgery. I couldnt be any happier with my new eyesight. Read review
I accompanied a friend for a cataract evaluation by Dr McCormick. I am a retired RN with a history of eye problems so feel equipped to make some suggestions for Dr Mc.My friend has hearing loss so heard only parts of your summary- not enough to make a decision on the spot.We left with nothing in writing which would have eliminated a lot of confusion..A brief explanation of the Exam procedure especially the dictating and multiple lenses used would eliminate some anxiety.It was a Monday Appointment- hope Tuesdays are more pleasant You came highly recommended.

I was extremely pleased with my outcome after having LASIK surgery. It made a significant difference being able to see without the hindrance glasses or contacts. Dr. McCormick was very informative about my options. He explained the procedure thoroughly. I found the whole experience very professional and relaxing. Read review
Dr Lane is a warm yet very professional provider. She explains things clearly and made the whole process smooth and comfortable. Read review
Dr. McCormick was highly recommended by my eye doctor, Dr. Francis Picard, and after two cataract surgeries by Dr. McCormick, I understand why. The atmosphere at both offices is not only extremely professional, but also friendly and helpful. My perception of this atmosphere is that it starts from the top, as the doctors are humane, compassionate, and not full of themselves. They keep things light with their professional staff, yet pay close attention to detail concerning their patients. I had 5 visits within 8 days for both surgeries, while having to drive 1.5 hours to and from my home. Despite the crazy schedule, this whole experience is one of the best medical experiences I have had, and I can see why Dr. Picard recommended Dr. McCormick. -Tom Sedore Read review
Dr Shiple is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He explains things clearly and takes the time necessary with his patients. Read review
I had LASIK eye surgery at OC of Vermont and I couldn't be happier with the results. I wish I had done it sooner! My wife and brother-in-law also used OC of Vermont after my positive experience. Dr. McCormick is a true professional. In addition to Dr. McCormick, the team he has around him is also great. Sam is a true pleasure to work with as well. She explained everything regarding my procedure and I found her to be incredibly easy and somewhat fun to deal with. My eyes feel much better than when I used to wear contacts. I would happily recommend Dr. McCormick to anyone looking to upgrade their eyes to "laser eyes". Read review
I had a great experience with Lasik and love not having to wear glasses or contacts. I needed a "touch up" procedure after 6 months to further correct one eye and found it to be easy and am thrilled with the results. Read review
Both my husband and I had lasik eye surgery at OC of Vermont and our only regret is we didnt do it sooner. Dr. McCormick and his team were amazing throughout the entire process and we are both thrilled with the results. Waking up in the morning and being able to see without contacts or glasses after 25 years of needing corrective vision is amazing. We have recommended Dr. McCormick to many people and will continue to do so. A huge thanks to the team that worked with both of us! Read review
I had a wonderful experience with the team at Vermont Laser Vision. From my first inquiry and a quick response from Sam, to my many encounters with the staff and Dr. McCormick-- I only had positive interactions. Dr. McCormick was very reserved and patient with my plan of care, which comforted me knowing that he had my best interest in mind. The actual surgery, days leading up, and days following went as expected, and I knew the team was just a phone call away if I need assistance. My life is forever changed now that I can see clearly without the use of contacts or glasses. Thanks so much, Vermont Laser Vision! Read review
Dr. Shiple and his staff are excellent. I had cataracts removed and intraocular lenses implanted and couldn't be happier. Read review
Top-shelf eye care. Oh, I need 25 characters to meet the Facebook requirement. What can I do? They are the best! Shiple rocks. Read review
I was very impressed by the professionalism of the entire office--from appointment to check-in, screening, and examination by Dr. Lane. She gave me a comprehensive assessment of my condition and how it affected my vision, and options to correct. The surgery was scheduled with my convenience in mind, and I was in and out of the office in an hour. The results have been superb, after care and follow-up likewise excellent. Read review
Efficient, friendly, explains well and excellent outcome.I had an hour and a half wait for my followup appointment, with no explanationor apology, however. Not very comfortable in 2 very small and packed waiting rooms. Staff was terrific. Read review
Just had surgery preformed by Dr. Lane. What a great experience! She, and her staff guided me through the process, and made me feel so comfortable, and relaxed! I went today for my post op visit, and less than a week later, am almost completely healed. When you speak with Dr. Lane, you can tell that she truly cares about your wellbeing. Thank you, Dr. Lane! Keep up the good work. Read review
Amazing experience across the board. The front office staff was extremely kind and helpful. The nurses were great. And Dr. Lane was exceptional. I cannot recommend this office any more! Read review
I have had appointments with Dr. Shiple several times and found him and his team to be friendly, accommodating and top notch professionals. Sometimes the wait can be awhile as they do become quite busy. However, they have plenty of snacks, etc. in the waiting area to ease the wait. If you're looking for honest and caring treatment, this is the first, best place to go. Thanks to Dr Shiple, he helped me with an issue that even my MD missed. Highly recommended. Read review
Extremely methodical, knowledgeable in his practice and flexible with regard to patient needs. The results of his work are exceeding my expectations (and I grew up with a father who was an optometrist who always refracted my vision to 20/15). Read review
Kate is a doctor who is willing to take the time to communicate with you regarding every aspect of every procedure from beginning to end so that you completely understand everything that is going to happen. She is very patient and truly listens. This allowed me to feel comfortable and know that I was truly being cared for, and that I mattered. Kate is a very kind and genuine person. I highly recommend her. Read review
I love Dr. Lane. She is a wonderful surgeon. I had Ptosis repair (an eyelid repair on one eye). It was amazing how fast I healed. Read review
Everything about Dr. Lane is wonderful. Her practice has a wonderful staff that is inviting and empathetic. Dr. Lane is an amazing person. The care she shows is so comforting. It's great that she is an amazing surgeon but what makes her so special is that she genuinely cares about you. I would not hesitate to use Dr. Lane again. If you are looking for the most professional and empathetic care for yourself or someone you love do yourself a favor and use Dr. Kate Lane. Read review
I went to Dr. McCormick with severe loss of sight due to cataracts. At 56 years old I was apprehensive about lens replacement. Dr. McCormick walked me through the process, wasn't pushy and was actually concerned about my vision. After 50 years of thick glasses, I have 20/20 and 20/15 and it has changed my life. Thank You Read review
Dr Lane did the most amazing cosmetic procedure!! She gave me a mini lip lift with 4 shots of restylane (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom). I am not going to lie-- it hurt. But it was WORTH IT. My cupid's bow is more defined and my lower lip is slightly fuller. The result is subtle, completely natural and makes me feel amazing when I look into the mirror. Thanks Dr Lane! Read review
The staff is very accommodating and Dr. Lane is simply Amazing! Read review
Dr. Lane is fantastic! She has wonderful bedside manner and offers a variety of cosmetic treatments, procedures and products. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Lane! Read review
Absolutely fantastic people. Supportive, helpful, and professional. Dr. Greg is the best. I felt secure and confident. Thank you for returning my vision to me. Read review
I called yesterday for an emergency appointment. The practice was able to get me in 2 hours after I called so I was prepared to see one of their less experienced providers. I was completely wrong: Dr. David A. Shiple is extremely experienced, knowledgeable and personable, traits that are rarely found together! Dr. Shiple identified a problem that has gone undiagnosed for several years through multiple appointments with other ophthalmologists and optometrists. He was able to explain it fully and to explain the long-term plan. While I was unnerved by the information, his explanation of the corrective action and that it was probably many years off, did help immensely. Read review
Fantastic experience ... Thank you Dr. McCormick and Dr Spitellie. Read review
In my recent interactions with Dr. McCormick, he was thorough, personable, thoughtful, and informative. He ensured that I understood my situation, my options, and my likely outcomes, and he graciously answered all questions my husband had, as well. I was grateful and relieved to have him operate on both of my eyes. Read review
I keep getting calls from this place, for "Kimberly mumblemumblemumble..." Don't know who she is, it's a auto-call telling her that her appointment is being rescheduled. Apparently every month it is extended a month further out. I press 1 to reply - to get off the list, and it hangs up. They might be great doctors, but their technology is highly suspect. Read review
Cataract surgery may be recommended when the clear, natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy and causes blurred vision. Many individuals report the cataract increases glare and halo around lights, impedes night driving and makes reading challenging. Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed out-patient procedures in the United States.
During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and, in most cases, a clear artificial lens is inserted. This artificial lens is called an intraocular lens (IOL). There are several options available when selecting an IOL. During the preoperative consultation, your surgeon will review the different lens options with you and make a recommendation based upon your desired goals following surgery.
