My first visit the tech checking my glasses and put a long vertical scratch on both lenses. Was…read moretold oops. 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.

Rude, rude, rude. Don't do business here. I was treated rudley by everyone in this organization…read moreexcept the optometrist. 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.

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.

She didn't apologize or admit to it which was extremely frustrating. When I reached out to their clinic manager, they offered me a discount on the lenses that they ruined. They never followed up during each time point. I was the one stuck reaching out multiple times (via email and multiple voice messages) until they called me back. To this day, they still never got back to me about how much the replacement lenses would cost (with their "discount"). They refused to pay for their mistake and now I, as the patient, am stuck paying for it. Not sure why they think they can justify that they can profit from my mistake that they made. When ordering my contact lens trial since I got a new prescription, they never called me to let me know the trial lenses arrived. Again, I was the one reaching out to ask about whether or not they came in yet. Then when I showed up at to pick up the trial lenses before work, the lady was standing in front of the TV, changing channels multiple times before tending to me. The communication to patients is poor and they will treat you poorly as well. Extremely disappointing experience overall.

And the administrator was full of excuses as to why they hadn't refunded me months ago. Also, never saw ANYONE wash their hands or clean the equipment!!! I have worked in the medical field and it was our policy to make sure all staff washed and sanitized equipment. Yes there was signage saying if a room was clean or not, but did witness a piece of equipment passed from one person to another to be used on me and not sanitized before use. I would've let this slide since I can't prove anything but the withholding of my refund pushed me over the edge. How many people DON'T check their EOBs???

I had my surgery done on Friday, April 26, 2026 at the Keystone location and everyone was great. The very next day Saturday, 27th 2026. I came in to a follow-up appointment and I was seeing at 20/20. I came back to the office Saturday, May 9th 2026 and I'm now seeing at 20/15. It is such a blessing to be able to see clear without having to wear eye glasses. It may be a little scary at first because we all know how important eye sight is , but with God all things are possible. May God bless you all on your new journey!

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.
