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. My friend has recommended this practice to others for years. After my emergency visit, I saw why. I highly recommend too!

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.

He was very patient, made great recommendations and helped me pick a style that I was very happy with. Dr. Grant's assistant walked me through all the lens options, provided more suggestions and was super friendly to make the ordering process easy.

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!

Dr. Patel saved my vision!…read more I've been going to Red Eye for many years. The service has always been good, and I like the photos they take of the inside of the eye to look for changes year-over-year. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. On March 8th I took a blow to the head. Seemingly nothing much. It hurt. It was annoying. I got on with my day. But, the next evening I noticed a flash of light kept popping up in the corner of my eye. A quick Goog told me it was likely an issue with my retina (none of the usual "it could be a cold, or cancer--just the one thing). I made an appointment online and Dr. Patel took a photo inside my eye. There was nothing to be seen. However, 2 weeks later as I sat at my desk minding my business, I saw a black wavy line in the corner of my eye. Something that moved with the liquid in my eye. Moments later, that black line was many fine black lines spider-webbing across my field of vision. In another minute, it was gone. I emailed Red Eye to see if I should panic now or sleep on it and then panic, not really expecting a reply since it was close to 5, and within a few minutes Dr. Patel called. She had me come in at 10am the next day, HER DAY OFF, 4 HOURS BEFORE HER FLIGHT. I was worried I was interfering with her vacation, especially if it was nothing, but she insisted. And it was not nothing. My retina had torn. Nothing could have been done to prevent it, but now that it happened, she acted quickly. She called and got me an appointment at Chicago Retina the same day. When I got there, the ophthalmologist said the tear could have become a far more serious detachment in a matter of days or even hours. I was able to get laser surgery that day to prevent further tearing. If Dr. Patel hadn't contacted me immediately, insisted I come in, sacrificed her time off...lots of "ifs" could have resulted in a delay in treatment that could have led to much more serious damage. I'm so grateful to her!

I emailed about a week ahead of the appointment and received a response the same day adjusting my schedule. The day before our appointments, I received a text message confirming 2 of 3 of my appointments, but for the wrong times. I called and was told that I still had 4 appointments. I had to resend the email removing the 4th appointment to avoid a cancellation fee. Then I was advised that my insurance wasn't accepted, the day before the appointment. It is very difficult to get my entire family in on the same day for our vision checks. To be told rather flippantly that "this is our process now" that they don't run the insurance until the day before is pretty surprising. I'll take my 4 appointments to Oak Park, where Dr. Gifford sees patients a couple of times a month. The smugness of the person on the phone was really special. When Dr. Gifford owned this location, I didn't have these issues. Very disappointed.

My son's Appointment was at 12:30pm. We ended up leaving this office around 2:45 Pm today.My last straw with this doctor was today on 7/10/25. Three weeks prior I called them to put an order in for contact lenses for my 10-year-old son, Which costed me almost $300 , mind you they're just try out contacts . They have you order the real ones after two weeks, which will probably cost another $300. So he ordered them, but when he started going through my son's file, he has no Notes or regulation of ordering these contacts. Okay fine You're a busy man mistakes are made . Now My son has ADHD and he's on autistic, Spectrum. He was only going to be using these Monday ,Wednesday and Friday while he was in MMA training which I was gonna assist, putting them in for the hour he's in training which was a problem for the doctor. He insisted that he learns how to put them in/ take them out himself okay I could teach him how to do this myself. Not the strange lady in the office that had a hard time putting them in my son's eyes in the beginning Not to mention, she's a complete stranger him . Noo he insisted that the lady in the office teaches him as well. Moving forward, this lady is trying to teach my son how to put the contacts in and my son has a mental breakdown. He's crying he saying he can't do it etc. now at this point, I'm leaving. I tell the lady take the throw them away. I'm done.. She insisted that I come back . Like I have time to keep coming back to this office for her to teach my child how to do this . No ma'am, I have a job too. Besides that the contact lens prescription was slightly off which the doctor also insisted was OK. Now he's done this before go with my son's glasses, and I put a lot of trust into his doctor, which I shouldn't have . My son had eye surgery a slight change in prescription can mess with his eye sight even more . No, the other thing about this doctor is he rush his appointments and rushes the eye exams. Which is probably why he's always off by a little with the prescriptions. At this point I'm done with this office. Such a scam for you to pay $300 for something that you're not even gonna be able to bring home. Now I go to the front desk I asked for a copy of my son's records, which the lady didn't even give she gave me a copy of the Contact lenses notes with a copy of the prescription that you can barely see. Then I proceed to ask her to cancel his next appointment and she looks at me and goes who? Now I have an attitude which she has the nerve to get upset about. OK, I'll calm down not my problem. You weren't paying attention in the first place. Now I go to my car realize she gave me the wrong paper. I go back in Ask her clearly for a copy of my son's records. She asked me to go have a seat which I did for 15 more minutes Just for her to call me up and tell me oh we can't give you your records. The printer is broken so you can come back for them. How convenient for them. Luckily, his other doctor has copies of his eyes surgery and I have a copy of his old prescription and new doctors usually do give thorough eye exam
