Barely a-ok. BARELY. I saw Dr. Doren because I thought I had some sort of infection in my eye. I…read morehad gone to Physicians immediate care a day earlier and they had misdiagnosed my issue as allergies. The doctor was very nice, and seemed very capable. He diagnosed two different issues and wrote me a scrip, then booked for me to come back a few days later to see how well my eye responded to the medication. I had to do a full round of antibiotics and put cream on my eyeball. I am now healed from that issue, so that part is A-ok. My issue with this office has more to do with their "office policies". First of all, I was annoyed that the Dr. kept trying to get me to come back over and over for expensive office visits to confirm that the treatment was working. If I hadn't said no for the 3rd visit I would still be paying for office visits to this day as my insurance doesn't cover office visits completely. I had already paid a couple hundred bucks to get my eye fixed with insurance if that tells you anything. What prompted me to write this review was the way they handled the next issue. I received a bill from the place where I was misdiagnosed (never saw a doctor, just an arrogant nurse guy who barely looked at me). The bill was inflated and that pissed me off so I called them to see if they could make an adjustment for the misdiagnosis and bad service I got since they were billing me a few hundred bucks too. They said they would need a fax from Dr. Doren's office stating what the actual diagnosis and treatment was so they could proceed. I called Dr. Doren's and asked them to send this info and she agreed. A few days later I get a call from Physican's Immediate care about the info they received. Seems Dr. Doren's office just sent a scribble from a prescription pad with the prescription on it. Frankly, I think this should be enough, but that is for another review, but they said they needed my records which should include the findings, including the diagnosis and the treatment prescribed. I called Dr. Doren's office back to ask that she do this and she sighed heavily for being put out apparently and said she would "have to speak to Dr. Doren" about this and that there would be a $15 charge to release my records because this takes "extra time". Jesus H. I said, well then can I just have my own records then since I've paid for this already? and she said, No, it's still $15 to get my own records released. I have a file of all of my medical records, blood work results, etc etc and have never had to pay one red cent for them. I do not understand what is the big deal of helping one of your patients resolve this issue. Instead they see it as an opportunity to nickel and dime me to death. I'll seriously have to reconsider whether or not I will return to this Doctor again because of how unhelpful they have been with this situation. It's a small office, no nurse, just the person at the front and the doctor and they are conducting business like it's a giant bureaucratic establishment. I am very disappointed. This is why I deducted 2 stars, for adding more expense and bureaucracy to an already annoying situation. Thanks Guys.

My friend credits Dr. Joseph Garber with saving her vision when she came back from vacation with a detatched retina, so she called to see if I could get in for an emergency appointment. Thank God they got me in within a few hours, to see Dr. Gina Rogers. When I arrived, reception was warm, & I was called back to a room quickly. Nora numbed my affected eye to gently measure my eye pressure, gave me a vision test, and then documented my detailed optical history, symptoms, and pharmacy to call in prescriptions. Dr. Rogers came in shortly after. She was warm & compassionate as she thoroughly looked in both eyes. She prescribed me 3 different things, to be thorough. By the next day, I was feeling much better. I am so grateful to the very warm team who got me in so quickly! I am so grateful to Dr. Rogers for letting me squeeze into her schedule when I was so miserable.

Dr. Pham suggested I try Monovision contact lenses, and within literally an hour or two, my eyesight was adjusted so that I can both drive, and perfectly see long distance, and simultaneously be able to clearly view my dashboard and things at a close proximity. It feels so empowering to be able to see far away and close at the same time, without having to reach for my purse for my readers every time I need to read something, or use my phone to text or make a phone call. This is truly a godsend, and I feel like Dr. Pham has rewound the clock on my eyesight by at least 10 years. Thank you!

Q: How often is an eye exam the best part of your day? A:…read more Whenever you walk into Art of Sight Eyecare and meet Dr Pham. That was exactly my experience today. Dr Pham is a highly skilled, detail-oriented professional with a warm handshake and confident smile. His bedside manner (chair-side?) is gentle and patient. And he took time to explain every aspect of the exam as he went along, which I truly appreciate. Dr Pham's genuine interest in the health of my eyes made me feel special - as opposed to being just another patient - and I have a hunch all his patients feel special. Also, a call-out to Ryan at the front desk for his help as I tried on frame after frame (they have a very nice collection). Bottom line: I've found my new optometrist. Yup, it was the best part of my day. Highly, highly recommended.

I can't remember her name, but she was very professional and explained everything for me. Now, I don't usually write reviews, only when I have exceptional or horrible experiences. When I walked out of the appointment and went to the front the male employee was checking me out. He was describing my prescription and the difference in frames and I asked how much it would be roughly. When he told me, I responded and said I would need to think about it and also confirmed if the price was after insurance. He immediately shut off and got aggravated at me. I could tell the whole room shifted when I simply said I wasn't going to buy (computer reading) glasses at that very moment...he then went on a tangent about the difference between prescription and drugstore readers to me, all the meanwhile I just stood and nodded (yes I know the difference..). He was clearly very upset that I wasn't going to buy reading glasses for $200+ right before the holidays. He then charged me for my visit and did not say goodbye or have a good day. I have never experienced such a thing. I felt like he was only there for the sale and genuinely was angry with me for saying I needed to think about it. (These glasses were not life or death for me). The level of disrespect and overall uncomfortable feeling from him, leads me to never come back. Working in CS myself, I could never fathom acting like that to a customer who doesn't want to make a purchase. It's unfortunate because it's convenient for me and the doctor and lady at the front were SO nice. But it only takes one bad employee to ruin an experience.

I needed to find an eye doctor in Chicago and having just moved here this year, I was not sure…read morewhere to go. I found Dr. Goldstick through the web when he was recommended by a retiring eye doctor. I couldn't be more pleased with the choice. I have a history of wearing contacts since I was 14, glasses since I was 4 and have a complicated prescription. My contacts and my eye sight need more than the average eye exam and I usually need to get either new glasses or new contacts every year or 2 years. I wanted a doctor who understood my background and could continue to advise me moving forward. First of all.. Dr. Goldstick is so down to earth, gentle, funny and very kind. He takes his time with every patient and makes sure that all of your questions are answered. My exam lasted less than an hour, he was on time and his staff was super sweet. He was very thorough and made sure that we talked about everything.. from reading glasses (ah-hem.. age) to the possibilities for eye surgery. But he was never pushy and in fact suggested strongly that I do not consider eye surgery until he sees more advancement for the type of lens replacement surgery that I would need. (I'm not a LASIK candidate). On top of it all, he didn't even suggest that I get new glasses or contacts.. rather he gave me a special cleaner for my contacts to try for now instead of pushing me to buy new lenses. The bottom line is that he is very practical, he listens to you and will be honest with his advice and he is not pushing you into purchasing anything. He really cares about his patients and he is just a joy to see. I highly recommend him to anyone.
