This practice is one of the very few in Cincinnati who are not part of the 80 + doctors at the Cincinnati Eye Institute and whose practice is not owned by a Wall Street Private Equity company. His nephew, Dr. Alex Kuley, joined the practice a few years ago. The small practice treats patients as individuals while being on top of the latest procedures in eye surgery. I am a retired physician. I appreciate their approach and have sent many family members and friends to them. My husband sees them. (He has no eye problems other than needing reading glasses.) My Mother-in-law, who has macular degeneration, also sees them.

My experience at CEI was disappointing from start to finish. Both my primary physician and…read moreoptometrist referred me here specifically because of recent concerns related to how GLP-1 medications may be affecting my eyes. I expected expertise, curiosity, and at minimum a willingness to engage in the conversation. Instead, the appointment felt dismissive. I was told only that it wasn't glaucoma--information I already had--and none of my actual concerns were addressed. Rather than digging deeper or offering guidance, I was pushed back toward my primary care doctor, leaving me stuck in the middle while no one takes ownership of the issue. On top of that, the interaction itself was handled rudely, which added unnecessary frustration to an already unproductive visit. I sincerely hope CEI invests in staying current with emerging medical topics, including how newer medications may impact eye health. Patients deserve providers who listen, collaborate, and lead--not ones who rely on outdated scripts and dismiss valid concerns. As it stands, the visit felt like a waste of time and an opportunity for better care was missed.

And I was like 'uh, sure!' And they later charged me $400. Went there for a follow up and waited an hour after my appointment without being seen, left, won't be going back.

After going to a few different places throughout the years (Thoma, Wing, etc) I finally found what…read moreI was looking for! My first experience at Giovanetti Eyecare impressed me. I came in for an acute eye problem and I could not possibly be happier with how I was treated and the attention to detail on the exam. 1) I was able to be squeezed in the same day due to the fact that I was having an acute issue that day. Dr. Joe stuck around when he was finished just to see me. 2) My eye exam was very thorough. 2 different tests were able to be completed in office to give me peace of mind. Dr. Joe took almost two hours of his time being very sure to rule out any serious issues. This meant a lot to me. 3) The staff was very friendly, professional. Certainly every visit doesn't warrant such an in depth appointment. However any doctor that would spend so long and stay late to me is a testament that they truly care about their patients. I'll be getting my next eye exam here and I would say that at least on the west side of Cincinnati Giovanetti has to be the best around.
