Since I respect his opinions I went in to their Eastgate Mall optometry inside Lenscrafters and really enjoyed my whole eye care experience. They were friendly and professional and after going through a painless eye exam I was given an overall outlook about the health of my eyes as well as getting some great advice on which eyeglasses would fit me best. They have a very nice clinic and the atmosphere there is great, really friendly and courteous. Their prices are reasonable and I got out with 2 pairs of eyeglasses instead of one. I recommend these optometrists, just like my friend, to anyone in the Cincinnati area.

Dr. Robert Osher, my surgeon, has a reputation for being thorough, and it is certainly true. He took the time to explain everything, both before and after the procedure. It's hard to imagine anyone replacing him, but I hope he is training a new doctor to be as careful and attentive as he is. His assistant, Heather, really went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure I had the medications I needed, monitor my eye pressure, and contact Dr. Osher with updates. She even helped me find a discount coupon so I could afford the eye drops I needed to bring my eye pressure down! She also went out of her way to ensure that I would get a refund after I was mistakenly charged a co-pay for a follow-up visit. She is so competent, capable, and kind that I hope she will consider becoming an eye doctor herself someday.

I'm 6 hours post surgery, still wearing my sunglasses and recovering. I can't review my new vision…read moreyet as it takes time to fully recover, so I'll update this as soon as I can, but I wanted to review the facility, staff, doctor, and procedure while it was still fresh on my mind. First off - if you're trying to get the "$250 per eye" price they advertise you have to have a very minor prescription. Most don't. It's not false advertising and they put those details in the fine print like every other advertiser. The facility is very nice and well kept. The staff are all very friendly. The day of my consultation they were very thorough in explaining the procedure and answering my questions as well as performing the exam to ensure that I was a good candidate for Lasik. The only thing I wish they'd warned me about before the consultation was that I'd be dilated. On the day of the procedure the three or four nurses in the procedure room were awesome. They talked to me though the entire surgery, which took less than 10 minutes from start to finish and the the "work" on my eyes was less than a minute per eye. The doctor was SUPER personable and you could tell he truly cared about his patients. He's performed Lasik over 108,000 eyeballs!!! I can still see, though my eyes are watery and sensitive, and the surgery was basically painless. There were a few moments things were "uncomfortable", but not bad at all!

However, I decided to go through with the visit since there was no cost for the evaluation. My experience was nothing like how the negative reviews presented LasikPlus. I found the staff to be very friendly and professional and there was absolutely no hint of pressure to write a review, purchase more services or anything else. Dr. Holden was the most personable and informative eye doctor I've ever visited. I was treated as a valued patient throughout the process, even after it was determined I was not a good candidate for lasik. People who try and harm a reputable business by writing bad reviews are just another category of scammers. Although I'm obviously unqualified to review their services, I can certainly tell you LasikPlus offers excellent customer service.

As a person with perfume allergies, I walked out of the office feeling horrible. The bathroom and patient rooms were filthy. The patient chair in one room was all torn and repaired with packing tape. The exam room had a cart in it with supplies and it was covered with dust. The walls in the patient exam rooms were stained with who knows what? I saw Dr. Holnbeck after Dr. Naqvi performed cataract surgery on me. On the first visit with Dr. Holnbeck she was friendly. After the first surgery, visits went downhill. When I had my second eye done and I said I was upset because my distant vision was blurry, she became short with me. On the second visit, she came into the room and was not friendly at all. She asked how I was and I told her I was not happy. She said, "I know you're not happy." She told me my vision was fine. I told her I did not understand how she could tell me my vision was "fine" when everything in the distance was blurry. She then started raising her voice while she was waving the little eye paddle they use at me, and said, "There is nothing I can do. You aren't even correcting with and prescriptions here for distance glasses. You can't get back your lenses. I can't help it if your brain isn't accommodating to the new lenses." Wow. Was it necessary to wave that paddle at me and the vision chart and speak to me that way? She was basically telling me my vision wasn't even correcting if they tried to give me eyeglasses and my distance will always be blurry! I had been in healthcare and can think of many other ways that she could have conveyed that message without raising her voice at me. At this point, I was extremely upset. I told her this was my vision and my eyesight. I told her she was a physician and completely out of line speaking to me and treating me that way. When I said she was out of line, her response was, "I was, I'm sorry." I found Dr. Holnbeck to be very incompassionate and unprofessional. I would never recommend her, or this practice to anyone.

Yesterday I went for my annual glaucoma screening as a new patient at Dr. Love's clinic. There was…read morea sign on the door (WARNING! MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES!) Inside the receptionists were all masked up properly. But when I finally got called in, the person checking my vision by the chart and testing my pressure was wearing her mask under her nose. After a while I asked about that, and she said "It's hard for me to breathe, I had asthma, and anyway I've had Covid so I have immunity." I said I'd been reading that people who'd had Covid AND got vaccinated had a very high level of immunity and I hoped she would go ahead and get the shots. She was skeptical: "I know a guy who had Covid and got the shots, and STILL got Covid." So then somebody came to conduct me to the machinery that scans the back of the eyeball, and SHE was wearing her mask under HER nose. After that Dr came in, Dr. Elizabeth Fahy, OD, FAAO. You guessed it. Her sergical mask kept slipping down and after a bit she stopped pulling it back up in order to use both hands. This was a DOCTOR. She sent me back with the second tech to redo one of the scans, and I asked the tech, "How come everybody on the staff of this place is wearing their masks under their noses?" "Because we can't breathe," she said crossly, "and anyway we're all vaccinated, so...." Not ALL of you, I thought but didn't say. The first tech sounds like an antivaxxer, but how is this tolerated in a medical establishment? Nose not covered might as well be no mask at all. These people were all working right in my face. I had my mask on correctly the whole time, and am fully shot, but was uneasy anyway, now that the world is full of Delta. In the hallway I saw even Dr. Love pull his mask down while talking animatedly with a visiting colleague. In every way the work they all did was excellent, comparable to what I had experienced at the Commonwealth Eye Clinic in Lexington KY for many years. No complaints at all about that. I considered leaving, but it's hard to get an appointment and I was overdue for a checkup and made the decision to stay, which I hope wasn't a bad one. I'll know two weeks from now, I guess.
