    Very simple, Doctor screwed up, I can't see because he took out something at surgery that prevented a lens replacement.

    I had an appointment scheduled because I was having issues with my dry eyes, including low vision,…read moreSandy grit, and discharges that were sticky. When I got to the office, they took me in and did a field of vision and they did an eye exam and then they were confused because the appointment didn't show me meeting with Dr. Wohl. She managed to find time but was kind of short with me and really did very little to address what I was there for. She advised me to use some over-the-counter eyedrop when I already had a prescription from her for a special specialty eyedrop that I had to pick up at Mark Drugs and pay $90 for. She didn't even mention that and just left the room so I'm paying $90 for a special eyedrop and not working now. I am trying to get an appointment and you can't reach her office. They have to go through central scheduling and they have no help and can't give you any Appointment that will get you in to see the doctor in a reasonable amount of time to help me. It wasn't this way when I started seeing her so it is disappointing that now she is so I don't know successful that she doesn't have to address the patient with their problems.

    This was my first visit to a retina specialist and I wish someone had provided me with more…read moreinformation. I would suggest that you have someone accompany you to drive home. Everyone was very nice and each one introduced themselves before starting what ever test I was having done in that room. You will move to different rooms where different tests are done and I had a lot of drops put into my eyes. Then, depending on what the doctor finds, you might have to have an IV started and dye injected. That one caught me totally off guard. The lights are dimmed in each room so as not to blind you. Driving home, even sunglasses provided little help and I was extremely nervous driving. So, that's my "what you might expect " information that I wish I had had before my visit. The waiting room was clean and bright and, as I said before, everyone was professional, empathetic, patient, and just down right kind.

    If this is absolutely the only doctor office that takes your insurance then go there. Otherwise…read morestay away as far as possible. Not only you'll spend hours waiting also they have no show fee of 35$ that they'll not only send you bill but also call you and send you mail with threats to send it to collection if you won't pay. Oh and you have to notify them 48 hours prior to your appointment to avoid that. At the same time their doctors can reschedule you at anytime with no problems. Nobody cares about patients time at this office.

    " INSURANCE FRAUD " This clinic is not honest as I paid for…read moremy 89 year old mother light therapy treatment of retina, because I was told that it wasn't covered by insurance companies; however a few months later she received her medicare summary notice which showed the clinic was paid by the insurance company. I spoke to Anu who then lied and started that I paid because she didn't meet her deductible, " thank God I have receipt, bank statements, and recorded all conversations". This type of behavior is called DOUBLE BILLING which is a healthcare FRAUD to increase reimbursement. I can only imagine how many other seniors this happened to that paid out of pocket and didn't look at their insurance summary. IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU PLEASE CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE.

    The staff at the Elmhurst location was great, however Dr. Kovach's bedside manner was lacking. He…read morecame in the room & immediately went to my chart without even acknowledging my presence - no greeting. He and the medical assistant reviewed my chart, spoke amongst themselves, asked me a few questions, made notes, all with his back turned away from me, then sat down. Once he sat down, he then introduced himself (still no apology or acknowledgment of my presence) and told me that I'd have to see a retina specialist for the rest of my life without providing a clear explanation of my diagnosis. He then looked at my eye, prescribed medication, told me to schedule a follow-up and left. I left with no discharge paperwork/instructions/etc. I met with my primary the following day and explained my experience; she was shocked. She was able to pull my chart & give me a more thorough explanation. I'm thankful to my primary for getting an answer, but this was not her job. It's the disregard for me as a patient and the failure to even acknowledge me being in the room that makes me not trust this place. I'm currently looking elsewhere for my eye health needs.

    I've been seeing Dr. Ros off and on for over 10 years. He's a wonderful doctor, very thorough and…read morevery down-to-earth. 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.

    I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Ros. We had a good and informative conversation about my eye problem,…read moreand he spent a lot of time examining my eye. I left the office feeling great about his advice and prognosis. He has a great sense of humor, and definitely cares about his patients. I will continue to see Dr. Ros for eye exams.

    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

    Amazing service. Treated like a person…read more My experience with the doctors and staff felt like none other. It felt like I was a real person and not just a client or consumer. In the past, every doctor-patient interaction has been robotic and it was such a relief to escape from that monotony. My doctors were very kind souls and helped me plenty. I was told my health results and given accurate and understandable advice. Duly also has an app where all my files are saved and I can view my test results at any time which I think is awesome. The app also has a feature that lets me talk to my doctors. Also, whenever i go out to events, it's sort of a funny coincidence that Duly sponsors so many of them. I love their helpful services and their community support. Thanks, Duly.

    The worst ever. Staff and doctors do not respect patients time. I visited more than 6 times, and…read moreeach time, the wait was more than 1/2 hour. Sure the office and waiting room are beautiful, but that is it. Even worse, was the glaucoma "specialist", Dr Joshi, couldn't remember me from one visit to the next and constantly gave me bad information until I corrected her. After I was promised no wait, and waited 30 minutes, I decided to take my business elsewhere. When I received my chart, it was full of BAD information. There were illnesses I never had listed in history. The unforgivable is that I was diagnosed as having Glaucoma in December 2011. I received many tests, took eye drops nightly and even had a laser surgery. I met my new dr today. I do not have glaucoma.
