Good Doc, I had a small bit of trouble understanding him through his German accent but I blame that on the fact that my hearing is pretty screwed up. I trust him; he knows what he is doing and is extremely competent. I feel comfortable with his knowledge of what I need to have done to my eyes.

I reside out-of-state, but was referred to the Moran Eye Center due to my worsening AMD. The referral did not include a specific physician, and therefore, I did search through the various retina specialists at the U of U prior to learning whom I would be seeing. Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg's history impressed me for a myriad of reasons, and thus, I was thrilled upon learning I was assigned to his care. I wish I lived closer to Salt Lake City, but I will continue to travel the distance I do, as often as possible, to be a patient of the highest caliber of eye specialists. Losing my sight has been the biggest fear of my life, but hope does lie in the U of U's Moran Eye Center, for which I am beyond grateful.

The fellow seemed new and have me a little scare with his comments. I got the impression my retina was going to detach any day. When I questioned him he started back pedaling. I just felt he was inexperienced. But when the doctor came in.... Everything was fine and I felt much, much better. My initial surgery was by a fellow and she was fantastic.

Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg was very guarded in his comments. I understand that some questions cannot be answered in the short-term, but I couldn't get a sense of his opinion on my surgery and prognosis.

Dr. Schmidt-Valckenberg saved the sight in my left eye through a difficult and delicate surgery to remove blood from in front of and behind the retina. I'm still recovering, but my sight is improving daily and within 90 days I may be able to read easily again. I recommend Dr. S-V as a master retinal surgeon.

2024-11-09
MORAN EYE CENTER
★★★★★
I saw Dr Valckenberg as a first time patient after going to Moran Eye Clinic for about 35 years. My previous retinal specialist left. He probably spent five or six minutes with me which I thought was inadequate as a first time patient. Everything was normal so there were no problems, but still it seems to me making a connection is important in a patient doctor relationship.

MORAN EYE CENTER
★★★★★
After I had been referred to the Moran Eye Center and learned I would be seeing Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg, I researched his background, something I normally do when not being familiar with a new specialist. That, in itself, impressed me, and although I did not spend a great deal of time with Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg, he had thorough knowledge of my history (up to this visit), as well as all testing performed at Moran prior to seeing him. I should add that I was seen by Dr. Fairless, whom I was told worked under Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg, prior to seeing him. Thusly, I believe I was covered excellently, while at the same time, feeling most grateful for being under the care of Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg.

It was much more convenient for me when he went to Midvalley office. Went once to main office near U of U.

There was no way I could drive home and hadn't had that problem before. I am so pleased with Dr. Valckenberg I drove to Farmington so I could see him.

He is an amazing surgeon! He was up front with me as to what to expect from the surgery and what to expect during recovery. Post-op I had no pain or discomfort, my first visit 5 days after surgery my vision was 20-40 +2 improved from 20/60. My second visit 12 days after surgery still no pain or discomfort and vision was 20/30 +2. Today 16 days after surgery I feel like I'm 20/20. The only thing that could be improved upon since I"m a back sleeper it would have been nice if someone could have provided me with equipment information to help me facilitate a face down position. Part of a successful surgery is being able to keep in a facedown position as instructed. After calling around to multiple medical equipment stores and no luck, I got on my-chart and asked if Moran Center had anything available. Mallory was able to locate me 3 devises that worked perfectly. BTW, I really appreciated the ability to contact the doctor and his associates thru my-chart. My responses above aren't recording

Dr. Volkenberg is clearly a very busy man and there is nothing wrong with how he does his job at all (he's clearly very informed on my eye problem). However. He seemed to be a great hurry when I saw him this time (visit #8 I believe. They had numbed the eye receiving treatment, but the 'cage' they put in place was very painful and I have had a fairly big hemotoma/bruise on my eye ever since. I am concerned because I am scheduled for cataract surgery in June and I will not be happy if this has messed that up at all.

I will not ever go back to him, but I will follow up with Dr. Shakoor at Moran at UofU and let him decide if he wants to release me from HIS care.

Dr Falkenberg carefully explained the treatment (laser "tacking" down my left retina). A day or two after the treatment, I noticed that my vision was GREATLY improved! The left image is smaller than the normal right, but the color and some degree of sharpness was obtained! In short, my left eye is now contributing to my vision in that left peripheral vision was essentially zero, it now contributes to my vision. Dr Falkenberg is AMAZING! And the Moran Eye Center is obviously a world-class institution.

Steffen Schmitz-Valckenberg, MD, specializes in clinical and surgical treatment of macular and retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and is an expert in high-resolution retinal imaging.
Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg co-founded and directed the Grading of Digital Fundus Examination Reading Center at the University of Bonn, Germany, where he was the Department of Ophthalmology’s assistant medical director. As an expert in high-resolution retinal and fundus autofluorescence imaging, he has used various imaging techniques to map the stages of decline in AMD. Researchers worldwide use this mapping to measure outcomes during interventional clinical trials.
At Moran, Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg is directing an
ophthalmic image reading center
that will play a key role in the
Sharon Eccles Steele Center for Translational Medicine
's drive to take a new therapy for a prevalent form of AMD into clinical trials.
Dr. Schmitz-Valckenberg holds a Jon M. Huntsman Presidential Chair at the University of Utah and is a prolific researcher with more than 165 publications and 120 peer-reviewed articles. His honors include being named by
The Ophthalmologist
to its Power List 2017: Top 50 Rising Stars.
