What a wonderful experience! An extremely professional, enjoyable well executed procedure! Read review
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. Lane was awesome every step of the way for my procedure. She was very clear when explaining the processes needed for my eye surgery and has been helpful continuing to provide information and support after the surgery. Read review

Dr. McCormick recently conducted cataract removals from both eyes, one operation a week apart from the second.

The entire staff was so amazing, helpful, and comforting in the process of my LASIK consultation and surgery. Dr McCormick was so helpful in answering all and any of my questions. Sam was extremely helpful as well, setting everything up for me so quickly and again answering all of my questions. The fact that they have payment plan options was so helpful as well. Worth every penny when I walked in the next morning after my surgery and already had 20/15 vision!! There is nothing that I wouldnt recommend about Vermont Laser Vision. Read review

Dr. Shiple has helped both me and my wife with different eye issues and both have had positive results. I'm still on the mend from my cataract surgery but my vision is already improved.

Cataract surgery results have been great. He is a skilled surgeon. His staff are very friendly and responsive. His doctor to patient rapport is lacking, however. It does feel a bit like a surgery warehouse, but his skill made me overlook the lack of rapport/patient relationship. Read review

I couldn't be more pleased with the staff and Dr. McCormick's care of me while I had my cataracts removed. I would never hesitate to recommend him to any friend coming up to cataract surgery. (Unfortunately, when I did the HealthGrade ratings, I didn't understand how the scoring went until I had passed the first 2 questions...so I may not have given him the 5-star rating that he deserved. At any rate, all issues were 5-start excellent.) 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

The entire team at Ophthalmic Consultants of Vermont took great care of me. 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

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.

I highly recommend her. 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
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
Results were even better than expected. Without a doubt the best in the state, if not the nation. 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
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.
