Local & Community Honors

Adam L. Spengler, M.D. was named one of Corpus Christi’s Top 3 Ophthalmologists (Three Best Rated, 2016) — one of the area’s top-rated eye doctors — and is also a Castle Connolly Top Doctor (2023 – 2026). Through our See to Succeed outreach program, Berkeley Eye Center doctors help provide eye care to Houston-area students in need.

HOW THESE HONORS ARE EARNED

Berkeley Eye Center’s reputation for top-rated, best-in-class eye care rests on three kinds of independent recognition. Peer-reviewed honors — Castle Connolly Top Doctors, Super Doctors, Houstonia’s Top Doctors, and Best Doctors in America — are based on nominations and evaluations by other physicians. Patient-rated honors — Vitals Patients’ Choice, U.S. News Patients’ Top Choice, and Yelp’s Best 10 lists — reflect what patients themselves report. Editorial selections like Vision Center’s Best LASIK Surgeon in Houston combine credential review with independent research to identify the top providers in a given specialty.

In every case, the honor is granted by the named organization on its own criteria. We list the source and year for each award so you can verify any of them directly. When you’re choosing an eye surgeon, we encourage you to look at exactly this kind of independent record — for us and for anyone else you’re considering.

Berkeley Eye Center doctors have earned recognition through all three methods, which is why several are named both a Castle Connolly Top Doctor and a Super Doctor in the same year.
