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.

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.

This was especially important, she thought, since I had recovered from a torn retina and really should seek specialists when it comes to my eyes. She was completely right, of course. I found Dr. Lam via positive Yelp and Google reviews. I'm so thankful that I did! He was personable and very thorough in his exam. He explained that the blurred vision in my post-surgical eye (from the pneumatic retinopexy/retina surgery) was in fact cataracts. He indicated that I was overdue for surgery since my vision was so negatively impacted. Dr. Lam did my cataract surgery about a month later. It was deemed a success with at least 20/20 vision. Unfortunately, there was blurring over my lens. Dr. Lam explained that I'd need a follow-up laser procedure. Dr. Lam did this laser surgery, a capsulotomy, a few days ago. After resting/napping later that afternoon, I opened my eyes and had clear, unencumbered vision out of my 2x surgery eye! This is the first time I've had at least 20/20 since 1st grade! It's been a long 13 month journey with two eye surgeries and 1 minor procedure, but thankfully, my vision is even better than it was. Dr. Lam is very experienced. In my opinion, he uses tools to accurately and fully assess one's eyes. I felt 100% comfortable with him at all times (a little less with some Medical Technicians if I'm being honest..). He's answered all questions, often fully explaining/anticipating questions even before I have a chance to ask. He also approached treatment more conservatively; for example, he recommended waiting several months post-cataract surgery before having the capsulotomy since lasering too early could re-tear my retina. My capsulotomy was nearly 13 months after my retinal surgery. I'm thankful to Dr. Lam and have great confidence in his abilities! I'm so happy to have found such a capable opthalmologist.

Horrible staff, absolutely inhumane!!…read more My mother is a patient of Dr. Robert Barnes, and had a glaucoma surgery scheduled with him on 02/16/2022. My mother has Medicare (covers 80%) and Medicaid (covers 20%). Unfortunately, Dr. Barnes office does not take Medicaid; therefore, we will have to pay 20%, which I agreed paying. However, Dr. Barnes office has a policy requiring to pay 20% before the surgery. I cannot afford paying the entire cost in full, therefore I requested a payment plan. On Monday, 02/14/2022, 2 days prior to the surgery, I got a call from Caryn asking me to pay $100 today. I said that I can only pay $75 now and I will make another payment in a week, during the surgery follow up visit. She got Sonia, an office manager, on the phone that informed me again about their office policy requiring patients to pay everything before surgery and they already doing me a favor by agreeing to a payment plan. Also, I had some questions related to 'before surgery' instructions and asked Caryn to send a message to one of the techs to answer my questions, but nobody called me back because I have not made a payment yet. Caryn promised to call me back later, but I never heard back from her. I guess that $25 made a huge difference in the patient's care. On 02/15/2022, I got a reminder call from Hinsdale Surgical Center and I informed them about the situation with the payment and raised a concern to the Hinsdale Surgical Center representative about upcoming surgery due to a payment disagreement. Well, only after getting a surgical center involved, I finally heard back from Caryn, but still no call from the tech to clarify the 'before surgery' instructions. When I called back to the office, I had a chance to talk to Sonia, the office manager. I discussed my concerns with her, but all she told me is how busy they are, and the 'before surgery' instructions are very clear and understandable. I am sure, they are clear to her, but everybody is different and some people still need to get a clarification. The office is very busy and does not have time to call me back and answer my questions regarding the instructions, but they find time to call me for a payment. Also, Sonia suggested that I cancel my mom's surgery and I find another specialist. After, waiting for 3 weeks for the surgery, and making arrangements, it will have to be canceled just the day before it was scheduled. It's very painful to see how low-income people are turned around by the doctors if they can't afford paying for the cost of the surgery in full prior to the surgery and there is not much flexibility with the payment plan. I completely understand, that this is not a free clinic, I am willing to pay, but please be flexible with me and allow me to pay in installments. It looks like Dr. Barnes staff does not care about his patients, they only care about collecting the money. This situation is very inhumane, and I am wondering if Dr. Barnes is aware of what his staff is doing.
