    His expertise is unparalleled. I respect his option above others. His bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. He is dismissive .

    I never met with Dr. Stamper. Once the nurse actually read my scheduling notes where I had specified my need for an eye exam she pointed out that the doctor does not do those and she told me I would need to reschedule. She did try to find another doctor who might be available to see me immediately but there was no one.

    I am a child neurologist and have had much experience with different ophthalmologists as well as other specialists. Dr Robert Stamper is a real gem. Smart compassionate intellectually curious spent lots of time with me and still managed to teach his 3rd year resident. Even though my diagnosis is rather grim I feel like I won the jackpot with Dr Stamper.

    I have been well treated by this provider for years.
    May 25, 2021
    efficient but thorough
    Apr 15, 2021
    I got the impression the provider's focus was so narrow on his specialty that he was not overly concerned about the ramifications for my quality of life.
