Luke W Deitz, MD- Wright Center

Dr. Deitz and his staff were super great with our 3.5 year old who suddenly couldn’t open his eye and refused to let anyone get near it to see what was wrong. Dr. Deitz and his staff numbed the eye and then immediately found and removed a little rock that had lodged in there. Our son ended up having a corneal abrasion that healed fairly quickly. So thankful to Dr Deitz and his team!

Dr. Deitz was referred to us by an excellent eye specialist /​surgeon for our son. I trust her judgment and it panned out for us. Dr. Deitz is super knowledgable and is mellow with his patients. His entire office is built for kids… it is super obvious the moment you walk into this place that he is a kid’s eye doctor…
Good place!

Warning this is long but they deserve it!
We love this office, staff, and Dr. Deitz! My son had been dealing with a turned in eye since he was 3. We had seen many doctors over the years and knew he would need surgery but due to moving, changing insurances, etc the stars hasn’t aligned yet.
We had been going to the Children’s Hospital Opt clinic for an year and a half on a monthly basis (we live 2 hours away in Bakersfield), the year prior to that we had changed ins and moved states but were working for a year toward surgery (so 2 ½ years), the visit where we were going to schedule preop the phy said she was switching practices so we had to switch doctors and we would be starting all over. We were devastated!!! So we took a break from all the eye doctors since my son goes to his dad’s for the summer.
We started the painstaking process all over again. First a regular eye doctor, then referred to an opthomologist, then referred to a phy that does the surgery my son needs.
In comes Dr. Dietz! We got in rather quickly and due to google maps being wrong we were an hour and a half late. He still was able to see us since we had driven so far. The first appt he examined my son, heard our story and was already to begin the process for surgery. Such a relief!!! We saw him once more then we scheduled the preop and surgery. I am getting teary eyed writing this due to the excellent personal service we got.
Surgery was on a Friday morning. Dr. Dietz was very kind and sweet to both of us prior to surgery seeing as we were anxious and scared. He explained to my then 10 year old what they were going to give him and that he was going to fall asleep.
The surgery was suppose to take about an hour, when we reached 2 hours he finally came out and explained the staff had prepped the wrong tray which delayed the start of surgery. Everything went great. And since Dr. Dietz was going on vacation he wanted to see us back at his office as soon as my son was released. We head over to his office and realize we are the only patients. His staff was still working but no patients, he came back to the office just for us.
We have returned for post op and then regular 6 month visits. Each time the staff is friendly and Dr. Dietz is great!

Highest recommendation of Dr. Deitz and every member of the staff I interacted with during every aspect of my care.
The office is warm and welcoming and it is a pleasure to deal with all the folks who work there. They were incredibly accommodating to me, taking special care to coordinate appointments and surgery with my hectic schedule and dealing efficiently and wonderfully with insurance, which as we all know can be a tangled mess. And they are always impeccably on time!
I’m 40 and have been living with Strabismus for many years. My optometrist had helped me treat the double vision I long experienced with prism glasses but they were not doing enough and he referred me to Dr. Deitz for surgery to correct the issue.
I went a concert a week after the surgery and was absolutely stunned to realize it was the first time in 20 years I could see a stage clearly. Having the surgery was one of the best decisions I could have made and Dr. Deitz could not have made me more comfortable. Truly life changing.
Dr. Deitz is clearly at the top of his game and has a rare way about him among doctors to make me comfy as a patient — even with my terrible blink reflex (it’s in all my eye doctor charts!) and general concern about having surgery, how it would work … and whether it would work. He explained everything in an easy-​to-​understand way and was so reassuring. He seems super with the pediatric patients too. Just wonderful.

Our ophthalmologist recommended Dr. Deitz to us since the previous doctor cant do the surgery for strabismus. He is very professional, courteous and down to earth. Hardly you can find doctors who are very attentive to their patients care and needs. He will explain thoroughly what is going on and will make sure that you will get the best care you can get from your doctor. There is an incident happened during my dad’s recuperating period after the surgery, he personally call and make and make sure that my father is doing fine. Definitely will recommend him to all of my friends. Highly recommendable doctor.

We took in our 4 month old to see Dr. Deitz, and he was great. He took his time with our son & ended up referring us to a neuro-​opthalmologist in the area. We were concerned when the doctor he referred us to wasn’t taking in new patients for another 3 months, so Dr. Deitz personally called the doctor and got us an appointment in 2 weeks.
