James F Vander

Very satisfied with the staff and Dr, were friendly and professional

I was referred to Dr. Vander urgently for a post traumatic retinal tear. I was seen promptly and my care was OUTSTANDING. His staff is friendly, professional, and reassuring. Dr. Vander was thorough and explained everything well. I will be forever in his debt.

Dr Vander is terrific. Compassionate and very skilled. He’s saved my sight for over ten years. I trust him completely.

Every interaction with a staff member exemplified excellence in attention to the patient. Much appreciated care during a challenging time. Patrick Keefe

Dr Vander Always kind and understanding and is interested in any questions you have

Dr Vander was patient, compassionate and complete in his examination and detailing current condition and future options. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a retina specialist.

Professional . I felt confident in his skills . Personable

I went to see Dr Vander for sudden loss of sight. I had to have immediate lazer surgery for a torn retina. Dr. Vander and his staff took the time to answer any questions I had. He explained everything he was going to do and what to expect. I would highly recommend him to others.

Dr Vander went above and beyond to assist the diagnosis of a unique eye trauma. I am incredibly thankful and eternally grateful that he was able to determine what the issue was and went out of his way to ensure I received the perfect level of care. Thank you Dr Vander and Mid Atlantic Retina for helping me get back to living!

Yes I would recommend Dr. Vander has always been up front about everything

Top notch Doctor!

I've been a patient of Dr Vanders for many years and have only positive experience with him. he is very personable and caring. he always explains things and takes as much time as needed to answer my questions so that I fully understand my healthcare. what I particularly appreciate is the sense of partnership in my Eyecare that I feel when speaking with him.

It’s always quick and efficient. Dr and staff are friendly and professional.

I liked being seen early.

I would definitely recommend Doctor Vander.

Very professional and thorough

Dr. Vander was excellent. He explained why I was having the problem that prompted my visit and allayed my concerns. He also explained what to look for that might require I be seen some time in the future.

My visit was one of the best Doctor visit experiences I’ve ever had. Dr. Vander was Awesome!

It was quite obvious that Dr. Vander knows what he is talking about. What I greatly appreciated is that he didn't try and sell me something eye surgery wise that I probably won't don't need. I got an exam from an other doctor who just wanted to do everything with no options. So if I am ever in a position to make a recommendation to someone , I will certainly send them your way.

Dr. Vander is awesome, however, his staff needs improvement. The office has an assembly line feel and the front office staff are cold and indifferent. I have to get treatment every 5 or 6 weeks for retinopathy. Patients are routinely left sitting well past their scheduled appointments with no explanation or apology. If you mention your wait time they either get huffy or stare at their computer screen and pretend they didn't hear you. once you get past the waiting room staff it's not as bad- the people doing the preliminary testing seem to care at least a bit. Dr. Vander is the best at what he does but the staff seem to treat you like you have no place else to go so you deal with it.

Physically this is a very attractive location following CDC guidelines. Staff is most efficient and knowledgeable. Dr. Vander is a physician who makes a difference. While being extremely knowledged he is friendly with a touch of humor. Most important he is very positive!

Excellent doctor, friendly and accommodating staff. Could not have had a better or more pleasant experience.

Everybody was professional and friendly. Dr. Vander is a GREAT Doctor!

Dr. Vander was very informative and caring also explained my exam throughly.. He is patient and understanding to your needs.

Very knowledgeable. In pleasant and thorough.

Dr. Vander is a highly skilled Retina Specialist and surgeon. He goes above and beyond to ensure the best outcomes for his patients.

I have had retinal surgery by Dr Vander in the past with great results. Am currently seeing him for a similar problem in the other eye. Have always found him to be kind and considerate and he is willing to take the time to clearly address any and all concerns. His office is well organized and is handling the current Covid precautions well. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Caring, thorough. was part of the team that save my sight. I can't say enough good things about this practice.

I took my mother to see Dr Vander for a second opinion. I found Dr Vander to be very patient, caring and honest. He tested my mother extensively and said my mother did not require the surgery recommended by another ophthalmologist. I was so grateful for his honest opinion which prevented my 88 year old mother from going through unnecessary surgery.

We are so grateful towards Dr Vander and team including his surgical coordinator Laura for being there and guiding after an accident that left him blind in an eye and putting together an amazing team of Doctors from Wills eye hospital to get my husband eye back to health! Thank you And G-D Bless you all

I had an absolutely horrible experience at Mid Atlantic Retina at Wills Eye Hospital. The experience was like going through an assembly line rather than a professional and personal approach to eye care.

Dr Vander and his entire staff are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I have never waited more than 10 minutes for my appointment and once the appointment begins carefully orchestrated process takes one quickly through the appointment. Dr. Vander operated on me for a condition Calle macular pucker and the outcome was everything I could have hope. My procedure was done at Wills all oh my follow ups have been at their Newtown Square offices.

My eye was getting really bad. I went to Dr Vander and he figured out what was wrong right away. He performed very delicate surgery and now I see great. He could not have been nicer. Everyone he works with was great too. I have been to many doctors over the years. Dr Vander is truly top notch.

I had the worst possible patient experience that someone could have with Dr Vander. The office visit was very rushed and he failed to adequately review my previous physician’s notes. Vander was extremely careless in that he overlooked the existence of a very common infection and prescribed a very strong steroid that resulted in the destructive of 70% of my Cornea. This caused me to have to endure an emergency Cornea transplant which I have still not recovered from. He is a horrible physician who

What an organized and pleasant office. After the normal 1/2 hour waiting room, the rest of the visit went like clockwork moving from room to room. All the staff members were delightful, competent, and efficient. Dr. Vander explained everything in understandable detail. I would hope you don't need a doctor like this, but if you do, this is the one to go to.

I've been seeing Dr Vander for more years than I can count. I tried several other retinal specialists, both in this practice and one other, and was thrilled to finally find someone with whom I felt comfortable.! (Professional, good communicator, "seems to know his stuff", and VERY reassuring!) Fantastic "bed-side" manner!
