Testimonials

It is without hesitation, I highly recommend the physicians at Guardian eyecare. Whether it be for routine eyecare, contact lense, surgery or an eye related emergency, I would not hesistate to use this medical practice. While we are established patients, we recently had an eye emergency over a weekend. From the time I called the practice till the physician on call us back was less than10 minutes. He met us at the practice within 30 minutes, evaluated and treated my family member and we were back home within an hour of arriving at the office. In a city that is growing, I now see why Nashville, TN. is also known for its world class medical care; Doctors like the ones at Guardian Eyecare. This team is without a doubt 5 stars and our family recommends them without hesitation.

Pros: Personal and attentive care to the patient and their entire medical care and their family

Cons: NONE

I thoroughly enjoy going to Guardian Eye. My whole family is seen at Guardian. I really appreciate Dr. Dieckhaus and his patience with children. He understands since he is a father with young children as well. Dr. Conrad is also very knowledgeable and renowned in Ophthalmology in our city. I look forward to many years with Guardian for myself and my family.
