I have been going to Dr. Wyse since before she started her own practice. She is an outstanding…read morephysician. And unlike many doctors, if u have a problem with your vision or scratch your eye, her staff will do their best to make room for her to see you on short notice. I had been to her many times bc of rubbing my eyes in my sleep augh. When Dr. Wyse began her new practice, it took me a while to find her (too long to explain in this review) and at that time, I was sure I had a serious problem. I called and explained I was and old patient but new to this practice and had not known she moved. Her incredible staff found me from her past information (I had moved) and found time to see me within 24 hours, and she diagnosed my detached retina and got me to a specialist in time for immediate care. Basically she saved my eye. Some people have complained about a long wait time. Please understand, if you are going to the very best, you should expect a long wait. Your eye will need to be dilated. You may also be tested for range of vision or blind spots, and based on your description of your problem, her office may decide to do this using equipment beyond someone just moving their finger around. This all takes time, even if you are the only person in the office. What else, when I was there last week, the staff did an incredible job with a busy practice, (made busier by end if year insurance rush) they are thorough and they care. Dr. Wyse herself is the kindest, most knowledgeable and experienced ophthalmologist I have been to and I have experienced the other end of the spectrum too. Last but not least, the office is clean and well maintained. There is current reading material. Have you ever been to an exam elsewhere, where you worried that you may be putting your chin on an unwiped chin or forehead rest? Or the magazines are a year old? That doesn't happen here. In sum, set aside time for your visit because your eyes will most likely be dilated. Bring headphones for an audiobook or podcast and let the staff know u will be relaxing that way. Bring sunglasses if u r driving home on a sunny day w dilated eyes. And know you are in good hands.

I was referred to Dr Epstein in 2023 for a procedure called Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL). As I was tired of my eyes being tired all the time from contacts and glasses, plus the inherent risks of wearing them at my job I pursued the surgery with Dr Epstein and Chicago Cornea. First off, I could not be happier with staff at the offices. They were professional and kind and I rarely had to wait long to be seen. Second off, Dr Epstein was great to work with. He was able to answer every question and I never felt uncomfortable. Now to answer the question about ICL. I could not be happier with the results of the surgery. Within days of the surgery I was able to see "normally", which I had not experienced since I was 8 years old. 14 months later and my eyes are 20/20. I do not experience tired or dry eyes and I do not have problems with bright lights and "haloing" as several of my friends and family experience still from LASIK and PRK. Ultimately I feel the ICL surgery is a life saver for me and my job as I need to be able to see in great detail and in any conditions without fail. If you are not a candidate for LASIK or PRK, do not hesitate to see if you are a candidate for ICL. My only regret is not finding the procedure sooner (it's been around for quite some time).

Between COVID and having an unreasonable stash of daily contacts, I put off my eye exam for longer than I should have. I really need new glasses, though, and had some urgency around spending HSA money that was rolled over during the pandemic. Scheduling was easy peasy - I made my appointment on the website and received a confirmation quickly, which included instructions on completing new patient paperwork online in advance. I received a text reminder of my appointment the day before. I was greeted right away, given a few additional forms to fill out, and then taken in back for initial testing. I waited in the lobby for a few minutes before my exam with Dr. Udesky. It was a brief wait and, honestly, the highlight of my day because I got to see how sweetly Dr. Udesky and his team interacted with the patient before me - a little girl who appeared to be four or five years old. She wanted her "eye pictures" to take home and they printed copies for her before sending her off with a fist bump. My exam was great and Dr. Udesky was friendly and warm. I asked a few questions about my current daily contacts, whether contacts or glasses would be better while staring at computer monitors all day, etc. He also gave me some helpful insight into my eye health relative to a medical condition and understanding long term care. I'd been on the fence about ordering glasses or going with an Internet retailer but, genuinely, Dr. Udesky offers competitive pricing (at least in this scenario where I was also committed to ordering contacts). Maria helped me choose frames and I'm excited for them to come in, particularly after years of being unhappy with my glasses from another retailer that bent and were misshapen almost immediately. She was knowledgeable, took my feedback into consideration, and selected the winning pair. I suppose I should mention that I don't have glasses or contacts in hand so this could change, but given how positive my experience was, I'm currently a happy customer and glad to support a local Northbrook doctor and his team. (For the record, I was also sent off with a fist bump and an elbow bump so that doesn't appear to be exclusively for the kids.) :)

I went to Dr. Katz cause I figured it was time to see an eye doctor and I'm glad I did. I spent a good 2 hours in the exam room with him as he tried to figure out what was wrong with me. Half of the time he spent asking me, "is the red ball above the black ball and if so to what side". Apparently, this is the test which I failed at. I'm so happy, cause now I have glasses and contacts and I can actually read correctly and see things correctly. It's so nice to finally be able to do that after 22 years of not being able to. He's really sweet and his staff is even sweeter. Although, when you do go into the office you'll feel like you immediately time warped to the 70's and no, this is not your eyes playing a trick. Oh on a side note, if you have a really jacked up prescription and he's able to get your contacts, like he was for me, don't even bother asking if color is possible because he'll just stare you down and ask you if you're nuts.

I kept seeing him for a year or so after I moved to North Carolina but unfortunately life caught up with me and was not able to make my schedule work out to see him anymore. Going to a new doctor that was highly recommended to me out here has just not been the same experience. I highly recommend Dr Katz. He is a fantastic doctor.
