My optometrist sent me to The Retina Center for an emergency eye repair. I was seen by Dr. Wells, who did an excellent job fixing my retina. I saw him 3 times (my initial visit and 2 follow up visits). Each of the 3 times I visited, I was overcharged. My insurance company verified the overcharges. When I brought the Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company to The Retina Center, I was given the run around by one of the insurance personnel. Not until my insurance company called, did they say they would refund my overpayment. It took over a month after the insurance company called them to get refunded. Beware of being overcharged! Also, face masks are still to be worn while in their office. read more

Requires patients to schedule appointments and complete new patient paperwork in person. No respect for others' time.

Great person, doctor and surgeon! We took our adult son to "Dr. K" after being referred by our…read moreregular optometrist, Dr. Lauer (whom I also highly recommend). Our now 35 year old who was born very premature (27 weeks) in 1987 developed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) as an infant, and after two surgeries, was left completely blind in one eye (retina detached) and very near sighted vision in the other. At 35 he developed a very dense cataract on his "good eye," which we found out is not uncommon for people who suffered with ROP as an infant. Dr. Lauer spoke extremely highly of Dr. K (even though they had never met) saying that Dr. K's qualifications are off the charts, he has a reputation of a highly successful and skilled surgeon, and he spends time getting to know his patients and is very personable. This was SO important to us because our son is slightly disabled and has a difficult time communicating, and with only one eye to begin with, we wanted the most qualified and experienced surgeon available. Dr. K was everything we had heard he was and more. His staff was very nice and professional, and Dr. K spent a LOT of time with us, explaining everything in great detail in language we could understand, and assuring us that he felt very confident that not only could the cataract be safely removed and replaced with an artificial lens, but our son would likely have greatly improved vision over what he had before. Dr K also took every precaution -- sending us to a retina specialist for a second opinion on surgery, and having secondary pre-op appointments, double and triple checking measurements/pressure/etc. The surgery was a breeze -- twenty minutes--and the results life changing. Our son does not even need glasses anymore, and he is thrilled about that, and can see better than he ever has. Throughout the process (several months) we continued to be impressed with how optimistic and positive Dr. K was, and to find that he is a Christian who prays to God before every surgery. He has our highest recommendation!

I had severe cataracts in both eyes. I was terrified to have the surgery! Dr K did both of my eyes…read more He literally gave me my life back! I have 20/20 in both eyes now! Dr K and his staff treated me like family and were as excited as I was! He is kind, caring and compassionate! He made me feel comfortable and at ease! I would recommend seeing him! He will change your world! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

The tech did most of the tests with me and then at one point she brought me out to the hallway and put my up to a machine. I had never seen that before and wasn't sure what it was. But didn't think to much about it. The Doctor came in and stated everything looked good same as last year. A few little floaters and the beginning of cataracts, said the same thing last year, gave me a script for glasses, same as last year. Went out to pay my copay. The lady at the desk said they weren't sure what the bill was due to they had to process it through my insurance. My eyes were dilated so again just went on my merry way. 3 weeks later I get a bill for $165.00. I was very confused. Called them. The first lady stated that it looked like they put it through the wrong insurance as she can see the one from last year. Then I got a call from another lady that stated yes, it was the way it was coded and that to put it through the other insurance would be a difficult, but she will pass it along to someone for further explanation. Then I get a woman called Mona, she stated that the Doctor determined it was medical (even though he saw me for about 5 minutes). I said just to put it through my other insurance. She said that's insurance fraud. So I said well, I'm not paying it, have the tech pay for it. She said no, we can't due that and hung up on me. Then I get a text from a collection company, I saw the Doctor on 6/22/2026. After calling both insurance places. I'm stuck with the bill. They never communicated to me that I would have a bill and that my eye appointment was a medical issue. The refraction test is extra that was not communicated as well nor did I get the results from it. They did say that they will take $29.00 off for the refraction. Make sure you ask questions and don't assume. Needless to say I will not be back , its a shame due to that I really liked the Doctor.
