Dr. Wentz informed me, Dr. Giuliari has over 20 years of experience and is highly regarded in his profession. Associated Vetreoretinal Uveitis Consultants have several physicians in this group located at 10585 N. Meridian Street in Carmel, off 31 and 106th Street ramp. It is extremely easy to find the office building. An Avon location opened 4/15/24 on US Highway 36, Rockville Road, if you prefer the west side. The office building has a free, large surface parking lot with many handicap parking spaces. The check-in office staff were friendly and appeared to have a routine in place that moved patients in a timely manner. The internal offices you visit after being called back have a specific function with a large waiting room located in the center of the offices. Eye exams, various eye equipment are in each room, and the doctors exam rooms move quickly with little wait time. Each staff member I worked with for each procedure was terrific to work with during all my visits. Dr. Guirliari was easy to talk with, friendly, knowledgeable, well-spoken, and thorough. He asked several times if he had answered all my questions or concerns. The staff also provided many pamphlets and papers explaining each step before and after surgery, instructions I had to follow, and explaining details of various diagnoses found. After several tests and measurements, Dr. Guiliari confirmed Dr. Wentz's diagnosis of a macular hole in my left eye that requires surgery. Basically, a gas bubble had to be inserted into my left eye. Surgery was scheduled just a mile from Dr. Guiliari's office at IU Spring Mill Surgery Center, which is known as a state-of-the-art ophthalmology surgery center on the second floor. They have a free, large surface parking lot with many handicap parking spaces. All the staff was phenomenal but more about the surgery center in their review. Dr. Guiliari was again thorough and reassuring, plus I felt very safe and comfortable in his care. My anesthesiologists, I think his name was Dr. Temple, and he was amazing!! He kept me as calm as possible and informed me of each step he and the staff were performing while prepping me for surgery. If you need a retinal specialist, I can highly recommend Dr. Guiliari, along with IU Health Spring Mill Surgery Center.

I got in contact with the Associated Vetreoretinal Uveitis Consultants through google search and I…read morecannot overemphasize how fortunate I was especially when they assigned Dr. Giuliari as my doctor for the retinal problem that I had. At first sight, and with his cool composure, he listened attentively to what I had experienced. He took his time to re-explain my problem with textbook images and what may likely happen during my treatment. He was well composed, very articulate, and reassuring. It appeared that he has done similar interventions before and had long years of experience. I felt very comfortable though remained worried at the mention of getting a few injections in my left eye that had the problem during the treatment. I remember taking injections on my buttocks many years ago and the thought of having similar injection, with the long, pointed, and sharp needles in my eye gave me goose bumps, sleepless nights, and fearful imaginations in the days leading to the first injection. The clinic is very clean, well-organized, and a trained staff that knows exactly what to do at every turn. After the preliminaries on the first visit, I returned a week later for the first injection. My blood pressure was taken, restated my date of birth, and read the chart with each of the eyes. The second stop, in another room, was to have images of my eyes taken, and the third was the biggest encounter with the doctor, the injection. Fearful that I won't be able to drive back home, my 24-year-old son, a Purdue University graduate, drove me to the clinic. In order not to let him notice how panicky I was, as his dad, his hero, I asked him to go back home and would call him when everything was done. In a few minutes after the images were taken, I was led in another room where I was to meet Dr. Giuliari. Another Assistant did the preliminaries with liquid drops on my eye. Now came the drama. Dr. Giuliari went through the images, explained what will happen during the treatment, and the goal. He came over to the right side of the chair, explained every step that he took: this medication is for this, look up straight and follow my fingers, this is to keep your eye open, etc. I did as he instructed. I remembered from my High School biology days that the heart beats 70 times a minute. I realized that mine was more than ten times that rate with shallow breaths, and probably the Doctor realized it too. I grabbed the arms of the chair very tight and had they not been securely screwed; they would have come out. And then he said this one will put a little pressure on your eye, a pressure that I did not feel in anticipation of the needle. After that, he tapped me gently on the right shoulder, saying, "you are done". What! Where is the injection? I took a very deep breath, trying to control the palpitations. Is the nightmare over, for real! He was professional, friendly, caring, as he looked to our next appointment. I left the hospital feeling good but a bit ashamed that I had imagined things different. Arriving back home, everyone expected to a gauze or a bandage over my left eye. They were afraid for me. How then would I explain that it was like 'liking a cone of ice cream' but still had to pretend to be brave like coming from a battlefield unscathed. Subsequent injections were like a walk in the park, relaxed, while my eye continued to heal. Dr. Giuliari is one of the best in his field, highly experienced, well-educated, and does his work with passion.

My first operation the drops I was supposed to put in my eye was missing one that Dr. David Price forgot to give me. My right eye was the first for the Cataract surgery. Nurse stab me 3 times in my hand and the side of my arm instead of the pencil size ones on my arm. After a lot of drops in my eye to numb it prior to surgery. Nothing was put in the IV stabbed in my arm. While operating I experienced pain told him, he said give him some fentanyl. Started again more pain gave me some more. After surgery he tells me that my retina was detaching itself. I'm thinking maybe that's why I felt the pain. I now have a smoky cloud in my eye and it's spreading and was told to put eye drops in twice a day till August. So mean while my right eye doesn't have 20/20 like it's supposed to be. Can't wear my glasses because I can't see out of my right eye through the lens. I'm a Marine Corp Veteran maybe that's his problem. I still have another eye to go.

That may be because all they hire is thin, attractive 20 somethings that have no idea about customer service. I was scheduled for surgery tomorrow and they canceled me! The scheduler called for a post op follow up. After that was done I complained that I didn't even have my surgery time. They expect their patients to drop everything the day before surgery and come running when they figure out how many cattle they can run through for maximum profits. So, this irritated Ms Jr Miss and she became even ruder than before. I said "I'm just asking you to pass it on to management, you don't have to be a bitch about it. It wasn't 10 minutes later and I got a call from the office manager. She said I needed to come in that day to talk to Dr Price about the way I had treated his employee or they wouldn't do the surgery. It was like being called to the principals office. They didn't bother to even ask my side of the story. Of course I refused, so they canceled me after being scheduled and pre-paying. In hindsight I'm glad it was called off. If they are this unprofessional on the business side I don't want to trust my eyes to them in the operating room. I post this knowing that same rude office manager is going to post some polite reply for the sake of public image. She'll politely post it when she didn't give me the time of day one on one. I wonder if Dr Price has the sack to call me or better yet, come to my office. Just remember doc, what goes around, comes around.

I was then sent to a waiting area for a while before being taken back at 8:30 for eye drops, pressure checks, and a retina scan. Then was sent to a second waiting area and told the Doctor would see me shortly. I waited and waited and waited. Watched an employee walk by eating something out of a Chik fil a box and loudly curse when she dropped some of it on her shirt. Shortly after that at 8:57am Dr. Wilbrandt arrived to the office wearing his coat and carrying his lunch! Super frustrating that the doctor doesn't show up until an hour after the first appointment of the day. It was clear he was not in any hurry to get the multiple patients waiting to be seen and spent time chatting with staff, joking around, etc. At that point I told the receptionist I couldn't wait anymore and had to get to work. She offered to reschedule but I declined and left without seeing the doctor. I won't be returning to this office! This is the second time that I've been kept waiting here for long periods of time and won't be wasting my time there

Once qualifying, everyone in the office was hopeful with scheduling appointment for the actual surgery. They were offering a discount if you booked for the month of December, however, I was planning to be on vacation. I asked them if I pre-paid in December and scheduled for January if I could still get the discount-- which I could. They allow you to pre-pay, have payment plans, and/or can use your HSA. The procedure itself only took about 10 minutes. I have 3 great friends that have received Lasik surgery within the last 2 years-- everything they described was exactly how it went. They definitely relieved a lot of the stress that I had going into it, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't still nervous. The doctor and the techs were so kind and reassuring that I was doing a good job while the procedure was going on. Once the procedure was done, I was able to leave with sunglasses that I was advised to keep on for the first full day. Around the clock eyedrops are required for the first week and then drop to four times a day for the month. The doctor that did my LASIK called the next day to ensure I was doing OK and if I had any questions. I thought that was very nice bedside manner, and some thing that really stuck out to me. I came the next monday for my follow up appointment and everything went well. Currently seeing 20/15 vision. All of my friends that I knew that got Lasik all said the same thing - - that they wish they got it sooner. Now I can actually understand what they mean. If any of my fellow Yelpers are curious to know anything else, feel free to private message me on Yelp and I'd be happy to answer any questions that I can! 10/10 recommend.

The next step today has finally arrived, surgery to remove the cataract from my friend's left eye…read more It's now 1:00 p.m. The building is located downtown at 1901 N. Meridian Street with parking as you enter or in the lot behind the building with signs directing you to the Eye Specialist parking lot. There are three entrances to the building, with one facing the front next to Meridian Street, the back entrance close to the parking lot, and one reserved only for unloading the transportation vans on the side of the building. If your support/family drives, I suggest parking in the back parking lot because it is free and convenient, and the back entrance usually has a person standing by the back door to provide guidance. They were super nice!! Just pull directly off Meridian Street entrance and go straight back to the parking lot. I personally felt the waiting area was extremely narrow and congested with approximately 10 chairs lining the walls. I guess you don't need to stay after your loved one is taken to surgery since it takes at least 2 hours plus to complete the process before you're allowed to see them. We were told the procedure would take an hour or an hour and a half, but it was much longer at 3 hours. Many people in the waiting area were complaining about the length of time the surgeries were taking. Everyone was getting tired of the long day, being hungry, and then many were concerned with missing work and their employers' reactions. Since the patients aren't allowed to eat anything until the surgery is complete, it makes for many famished patients. However, it is more of a nice bonus for those waiting on the patients. The cafe had several types of cold beverages, hot coffee with flavored coffeemate, hot chocolate chip cookies, and bags of different types of chips. It helped knock the edge off until the patient was released. Bring a jacket with you if you're cold natured. The air is on, and it's notably chilly like all surgery centers. I was fine but my friend and several others were cold. Every surgery center deals with the chilly issue. Darn, those germs!! The staff was helpful, friendly, and attentive with the patients. The ladies at the two desks in the waiting area were taking many additional questions while trying to perform their daily jobs. I rate the transportation services 10 out of 10. Patients who have scheduled evaluation services and cataract surgery can use their transportation services. There is no need to ask a family member or friend to miss work all day. You can be picked up at home, hotel, or work, and brought to the Keystone office for elevation, then picked up again, taken for surgery downtown, and then driven home afterward. You do not need to call each time you need tranported as the office staff calls immediately after your appointment. However, you need to make the initial call. This must be scheduled prior to your appointment. Well planned work schedules help the drivers seem to run seamlessly with spotless interiors and exterior of their well-marked company vans, their extremely organized, safe drivers, and attentive to each patient. Each patient can transport one friend or family member with them in the van. The 2 transportation drivers I met today were delightful. Polite, professional, sympathetic, and so personable. Each one was totally phenomenal. Where do they find these employees? Again, 10 out of 10. They handle their examinations scheduling with their various offices throughout the Indy area differently than my othomotogologist office and surgery center, but it seems to work for them. Rock on!

The office is conveniently located off of the 106th Street exit on Meridian Street. There is a large parking lot with many handicapped parking spaces that were well maintained and salted in this bitter cold weather. This was a very busy office when we arrived for a 1:00 appointment. We walked in behind 6 other individuals but with 4 check-in windows we moved quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful explaining the new patient paperwork. The waiting area has ample seating, comfortable chairs and a large flat screen to entertain us during our short wait. This is one efficient medical group. Each step in the process (testing, consultation and Laser procedure for us) has a separate office and waiting area (just steps from each other) as you progress down the hall. The wait was less than 10 minutes before the MA took us back for initial testing. She was so nice, very efficient, knowledgeable and reassuring. The Physician consultation and exam was thorough, comprehensive and professional. We soon realized the laser repair was occurring next...not at another appointment. After confirming diagnosis we moved to the laser procedure room waiting area. The laser room assistant was a little abrupt here (without warning grabbing his head back for drops) and lacked the bedside manner we experienced earlier. Other than this minor annoyance the entire experience proceeded smoothly and in less than 15 minutes. The entire visit and process took right at two hours. We really expected at least two separate appointments and appreciated the efficiency of this office. We highly recommend Dr. Prall and the group Associated Vitreoretinal and Uveitis. Just rolls off the lips, right?...lol.
