My wife who is also a patient here was having severe pain in her eye and called his answering service around 930pm he called back and told us to meet him at the office in 15 minutes. He took her right in and examined her eye. You just do not see that type of dedication anymore. I could not imagine ever going anywhere else for eye care.

I had 5 different visits and each one involved 3 to 5 different tests or procedures, every on was performed ON time and efficiently, what a rare experience.

Just last week, I took a friend to Dr Mattingly. He said her eyes have been changing every year…read moresince she has been seeing her back in the late 90's. But, there appears to be a problem. She has said she can not see well even with the glasses prescribed just last year. Then after further questioning, she indicated she has not seen well for a long time. And she said that her prescription changes each year and requires new glasses. So I asked to see her past prescriptions. Each prescription was different. But not progressively worse as one would expect with progressive eye problems. For those of you with astigmatism, the Axis reading changed along with other readings which would show back and forth between her eyes getting better, then reversing to getting worse. Not what you would expect. Time for a second opinion! Went today for the second opinion. She explained her vision as everyone does and then continued with the exam. He photographed the inside of her eyes, continued with all the normal tests, read her glasses to see the prescription as made by the manufacturer and then proceeded with her prescription exam. Here are the results. 1. Concern about the varied prior to present prescriptions. 2. Current prescription from 4 days ago is wrong. 3. Current glasses from a year ago do not match the prescription from when they were prescribed. 4. Bifocals were prescribed at the wrong strength. 5. The axis for the astigmatism was wrong resulting in blurred vision even with the glasses. While a lot of this sound to be a responsibility of the patient, let me ask a simple question. If you put your trust in a doctor for twenty years, you would expect that doctor to provide you with the best possible care? Well. I believe that doctor has provided his best. Unfortunately, his "best" isn't good enough. Now the reason for this review. As we told his nurses the problem she was experiencing, they said that a lot of his patient complain about the same thing. After the exam, the changes did not relate to what she expressed. There appears to be a systemic problem here.

I recently found out that I have cataracts. I was referred to the ophthalmologist at Carle. Dr…read more Wang. All I can say is the staff have been wonderful and caring. They have explained every step to me. I highly recommend them.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL…read more I'm not a fan of Carle. They primarily serve state employees and this seems to define how Carle interacts with all their customers - state employees or not. If you want to deal with flippant, incompetent clerical workers, Call Carle Eye Department. After wasting my time with Carle, I called OSF and easily got an appointment with a Doctor Kreska, who I will see much more quickly than the random Doctor I would have seen at Carle. I won't be cancelling my appointment with Carle after spending an inordinate amount of time setting it up. They can just eat my no show. Screw them. Oh, and they pulled the same crap with me that another reviewer mentioned. They tried to get me to come in for a vision exam before having an appointment with an opthamologist. Other Carle departments have similar scams. For instance, they frequently try to "upsell" people who visit them for DOT and FAA physicals. I stopped sending employees there after they adopted the practice of trying to force patients into unnecessary sleep apnea tests. The same employees had no difficulty passing their physicals at more reputable medical facilities. Please support Carle competitors, so that Carle cannot continue to continue to misuse their market power
