I began seeing Dr. Robert J Barnes at the 'Glen Ellyn Ophthalmology associates center for about 2…read moreyears now and I have to admit that apart from the eye-care which is my primary reason for seeing him, more so his attentiveness to detail and unique ability to listen to patients sets him apart from other physicians in his field of specialty. It is obvious that he has a great deal of experience, interest, and passion for his craft and these qualities in my opinion makes him a great physician. I just hope that my insurance continues to allow me to see him. It is a shame to see what patients, physicians, and other allied healthcare professional go through when dealing with insurances.

Things have changed since last I wrote about care at this office. The doctor has not changed and…read morehe remains the highly trained knowledgeable specialist he was. The front office has deteriorated,Things change over time.  Dr. Barnes is still very professional and knows what he is doing.  His front office has seriously deteriorated.  Due to the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the country fatality rate, I elected to wait until I obtained the two-shot sequence of the vaccine as well as the booster.  On 3 October, then the DuPage county 7-day average dropped to 146 daily (down from 248 in March) I called to make an appointment and the first available was 4 January.  Last Friday, my pharmacy tells me my prescription for eye drops was cancelled by the MD Office.  I called today where I was summarily scolded for having been away, and the prescription would no longer be renewed.  I was also told that the office had notified me of its impending termination (which is totally false.  I was never notified - verbally, by phone, message or mail).  It's not like my glaucoma has been cured.  Time to find a different office.

I took my 76 year old mom for her quarterly glaucoma appointment to Dr. Chow and was unfortunately…read morevery disappointed. He cut her off multiple times when she was speaking and was too curt when speaking himself, to the point of unpleasantry. We were willing to look passed that if he was a good doctor. But he said he needed to perform "many" tests to know what he was dealing with, and they would not be covered under Medicare. He said he would only charge us $40 for the $100 retinal scan. I was appalled as I had that scan done a month ago on my own eyes at America's Best for only $20, no insurance involved. He also charged $39 for a refraction, which is the part where they test your vision. No other quarterly visit to the other ophthalmologists included a refraction. When we asked for the prescription, which comes from the refraction so she can use it to order glasses, he said there wasn't one. Again, I was not pleased. Every time I've ever had a refraction done, I've received a print out with the prescription. He dilated my mom's eyes before telling us about the additional two $40 tests. When we questioned the charges, he said if we didn't do the tests, then my mom could not be his patient. I don't disagree with "my way or the Highway" itself. I get that it's his practice, his liability. But I would have much appreciated discussing the costs before making her get her eyes dilated. To add insult to that, he did not offer eye wear to her for the dilated eyes. Luckily it was cloudy out, and she was ok. He also told her her eye pressure was very high. She goes to the ophthalmologist quarterly. It would be very unlikely due her pressure to jump across one visit. I don't trust that. She said her pressure has not been that high since her 20's. Something is not right there. He also knows the "many" tests ARE covered fully under Medicare if done on separate dates. He refused to schedule separate appointments. His way or no way. I'm not against "do it now for ease," but I am annoyed by it. My mom shared that other eye doctors did spread tests out across multiple visits. So the tests themselves made sense, but the approach was vastly inconsiderate to the patient. He went from curt to rude. When I asked his front desk gal about the costs to try to understand why this experience was so different from our other experiences, and where does this partial experience with them leave me as I am responsible for taking my mom to her needed medical appointments and this one did not pan out, he shooshed her to tell her to stop talking to me. If you go to see him, don't just trust with a blind eye what he says. Use your own judgement. We will definitely not be going back. And I'm left to apologize to my mom for the horrible experience. She's too old to have to deal with this crap. Opthamologist

Tried to make an appointment for my son to get his Rx for contacts and was told that my son would…read morehave to make the appointment himself since he would need to provide personal information (cited HIPAA). Odd since the only info you need for an appointment is the patient's name and birth date. The remaining "personal" information would be the policy holder of the insurance which would be me. Pretty sure my 21 YO doesn't know who the insurer is, my birth date or the last four of my SSN which is what they need to submit the insurance claim. Not sure that the less than user friendly staff understands the concept of HIPAA in this context. I am the person providing all the of the "personal" information. Never been told I couldn't make an appointment for someone in my family because of HIPAA. Happy to take my business elsewhere.

The whole place seemed extremely chaotic.The pre exam rooms had no ceiling and you could hear the exam next to you.. very old outdated building.After 25 min the first lady took me.. she did tests after she was done she said I have to see if they want me to do more of course they did.I was then brought to another lady she did more testing....they brought to a man he did more testing..I feel this was all to prolong the situation because the dr was backed up.They really need to stop over booking.The patients time is valuable too. It was now going on 2 hrs I had to ask when they were going to call me back.Finally 15 min later the brought me to a room where I waited another 15 min .I was finally seen by the dr. then a few more tests?All this was supposed to be is a cataract appointment.I spent less time with the Dr than anyone else.

Over the last 6 years I have been to 2 previous ophthalmologists. I have changed services due to…read morethe office staff, not the MD. However, I will say, never before had an MD spent time with me, explaining why they are testing my eyes for glaucoma and why they were "watching" rather than doing anything. All testing was done in-house and results returned on the same day. No need to reschedule for a "testing day" as was the policy with my previous ophthalmologists. Dr. Gupta's commitment to me, as a patient was impressive AND his office staff was professional, kind and helpful, as well. I don't say this very often, but this is a place I would enjoy working.

His diagnosis have been consistently complete and accurate over the years. And he tells you the truth in a very compassionate way. I have Stage IV cancer and the meds I take are accelerating cataract progression. Dr. Ros diagnosed the problem some time ago and has been monitoring the changes. He recently scheduled the cataract removal surgery. He told me that cataracts are the one disease I'm experiencing that medical science can cure 100%. I love that, especially since Stage IV cancer is not considered curable. Dr. Ros knew exactly what I needed to hear to put me at ease about the surgery and he took the time to talk about it. His kindness is not limited to his patients. I've come into his office several times to find that his receptionist had her child there with her because her sitter let her down. Not many bosses would allow their employee to bring their child to work even in an emergency. He even set up an area where the little one could play with various toys he had in the office. When he came into the reception area between patients, he'd toss the toddler in the air to make her laugh. So not only is he a great doctor but he's a great human being as well.
