  • Educational and lighthearted

    I’m a family physician and truly enjoy hearing Dr. Glaucomflecken’s perspective on issues that face our medical community. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and intentionality with which he addresses some of the most polarizing topics in the medical conversation. Thank you for being a bright light (maybe not the best analogy for an ophthalmologist but I’m going with it) in today’s sometimes dark medical landscape.

    I really enjoy the Knock Knock Hippocrates, particularly the knock knock eye episodes, it’s fascinating to learn about the eyes and hear Dr Glaucomflecken geek out about ophthalmology! His personality brings a lightness to even serious topics and makes it a fun listen

  • Smart, fun, accessible

    Have loved all your skits since the beginning of the pandemic. Re future content: with the dissolution of the NIH, CDC, etc and increase in misinformation and conspiracy theories, you may want to provide basic public health info, unless your audience is already informed. Maybe a refresher on HCWs wearing respirators to protect their patients!

    Thanks for your entertaining and informative infomercials - whichever direction you go will be great.

    I originally found Dr Glaucomflecken on TikTok then heard about the podcast and started from the beginning. The banter between you two is SO FUNNY from a relationship stand point.

Just got to the first episode of Glauc Talk and no offense Lady Glaucomflecken but I agree with Dr on being on time. Keep up one of the best podcasts and I hope someda... more
