I have been serving the eye care needs of patients in the Milwaukee area since 1993. Patient care begins by creating a relationship of trust and mutual respect. From there, determining the best course of treatment is a multistep process: listening to the patient, evaluating their condition, educating them on treatment options and formulating a plan of action suited to the particular individual and their support system. At times, this means referring the patient to a different provider for more specialized care. Being part of the Medical College of Wisconsin affords my patients access to a world-class team of subspecialists in all areas of eye care. My focus is on ensuring that the patients' vision needs are met.

Dr. Susan is a great optometrist.
Thank you for the caring teams.
Straight forward explanation of what I needed to do to improve my glaucoma.
Like I said, I always get excellent care from Dr. Suson and the staff.
I am completely happy about the conversation regarding my condition and what is to be expected.
Always a feeling of caring at every visit.
It was a yearly check up
Everything progressed in an orderly and Professional systematic Timetable everyone knew what they Had to do without interruption.I didn't feel like I was hurried or pushed through.
All went well, thank you.
Froedtert, have the best doctors.
Dr. Suson was prompt, respectful, and thorough. Also want to acknowledge the medical assistant--sorry, cannot remember her name--who was very friendly yet professional.
Dr. Suson is a very good doctor who is very knowledgeable and professional. It's a shame he doesn't work in a private practice setting. That would be more conducive to patient-centered care versus the "assembly-line" work environment he's constrained to within the Froedtert system.
Excellent care
Thank you for your professionalism.
All moved along like clockwork, as always.
Excellent care by all. Thx
I was very satisfied
Dr. Suson and his staff are experienced professionals who deliver a superior level of care. Highly recommend!
Everything went well I was very satisfied thank you
I'm so grateful Dr S took me on for laser surgery while I wait for glaucoma specialist!
It would have been helpful if Dr. Suson gave more description of the decrease of my glaucoma pressure reading from last year's reading. Also, helpful if he would have given an explanation as to why he wants me to have the additional tests he scheduled me for. The tests have been performed in the past by other doctors. But, explaining why I need them again would be helpful. Dr. Suson was very professional and friendly. He instilled confidence in me as to his ability to take well care of me. I am happy with having him as my eye doctor.
Dr.Suson is Busy, but takes the time to answer your questions and concerns never condescending.Very easy to talk with then makes me feel relaxed. He's very professional yet humble.
He was very pleasant and wonderful to deal with. Gave me an honest assessment of my situation. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Dr. Suson and his team are great!
Dr seemed rushed and only provided information on treatment when probed.
Dr Suson was fantastic! Explained everything, listened and eased my mind about my eye disease. I will absolutely recommend him
I've been with Dr. Susan for years & he's a great eye doctor.
Excellent doctor
Dr Suson is the 7th doctor I have seen regarding my double vision. He was VERY knowledgeable and gave me lots of information! I definitely will be back!
Everyone is always courteous and kind when I come in
