This was by far the worst experience I've had with a medical professional. Dr. Christiansen not…read moreonly asked me if my hair was real, but then proceeded to reach out and touch it. When I jumped back, he continued forth with his attempt to touch my hair and feigned offense as if I had accosted him with my discomfort. (I'm not at all sensitive about my hair being fake, but this is about the principle of the matter.) He did not apologize when I expressed discomfort, instead he doubled down. My eyes were dilated over three times because he couldn't see and he was so aggressive in checking my eyes that I was nauseous (which I stated). The equipment used was dirty- I initially thought it was stained but when they exited the room I took a tissue and hand sanitizer to wipe it down and it was makeup. Upon entering the office, the receptionists were passive aggressive. I entered the lobby and was met with stares instead of a greeting. I had to say hello to get the ball rolling. I asked one of the receptionists if she could let me know if they received my email for in processing because I didn't use my regular account to email them (because the option wasn't available on my phone) and she didn't even verbally respond or physically signal "ok"- she just looked at me with contempt. Elizabeth was not as rude as Dr. Christiansen or her direct peer, but she escorted me out of the office as if I had done something wrong. It surprised me and I even said "Oh, that's all?" because there was no out processing- it was never even confirmed if they received my email as a new patient, but I was billed! Throughout this entire ordeal I was polite and even tempered and I never reciprocated the behavior I was met with. The only reason I didn't immediately leave after the treatment I received in the lobby was because this was my final appointment after a slew of medical errands and I just wanted to be done. Update: Shortly after posting this review, the office placed a hang-up call to my personal phone after they were already closed- it's 5 pm on a Sunday.

Found out his office isn't in-network for Kaiser Permanente (gotta love America's for-profit health care system). Kaiser's support line told me I could come in Monday - for a torn retina. Seriously??? What is WRONG with them!! Anyway, Dr. Koretz made a few calls to doctors at Kaiser for me and got me into a Kaiser doctor that evening. And my surgery happened at Kaiser Saturday morning, first thing. My retina is healing nicely now because Dr. Koretz went well above and beyond in my book, to get me a doctor in-network. I'm having to pay a little bit for my time in Dr. Koretz' office, but the charge is worth it, considering my circumstance. Thanks again, Dr. Koretz!

Went into the Littleton office for an extensive eye exam…read more The whole setup went incredibly efficiently, going from one exam to another with little time in between. Tara and Casey explained exactly what was going to happen and were very informative, pleasant and professional. Dr Hovland (who unfortunately will be retiring this summer) has a wonderful "bedside" manner. He was very approachable and took his time explaining exactly what he saw and how he arrived at his diagnosis. He took his time with me and answered all my questions, including going into detail what are the next steps. His assistant, Lexi, even wrote down for me the notes of the exam that I can take home and show to my wife. This was a very impressive experience and I highly recommend this practice for eye issues!

My…read morehusband had emergency surgery with Dr. Shukla on Saturday at Porter Hospital for a torn and partially detached retina. Make no mistake, this is a medical emergency that can result in loss of an eye and blindness! The symptoms are floaters in the eye and a blurry spot. We progressed quickly from primary care, to ophthalmology to these retina specialists. Everyone here treated my husband with kindness, respect and urgency! Our only issues were with the holiday weekend, doors locked etc. Luckily, we always had a number we could call to get in! The surgeon and staff working on call on Easter weekend saved my husband's eyesight and thought nothing of working the holiday weekend! They mentioned it was busy, but these dedicated professionals were there for us. We had everything we needed to go home for the rest of the weekend and by day 2, my husband felt much better. Multiple locations throughout the metro!

That went well. Everything was well explained. From there he got a Monday morning surgery appointment. Dr. Zhang did a great job. My husband had lots of concerns and questions and Dr. and nurse Chris were very thorough in their explanations. It's been about a month and his vision is pretty much back to normal except for the effects of the oil bubble (vs typical air bubble because we live above 8000') which will be removed in a few months when they're sure eye is completely healed. Our regular eye doctor has looked at Richard's eye and is very impressed with how well it's healing. We're grateful he saw Richard on a Friday night and set him up with Dr Zhang for surgery. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a similar need. They are a very busy practice, but are very well organized, pleasant, professional and caring.

The Cataract Surgery was successful and very well done by Dr. Miller (great bedside manner and highly competent), who wisely recommended this procedure be performed before correcting the Retinal problem. Dr. Stanford Taylor of Retina Consultants performed the Retinal Surgery. My wife's vision had been deteriorating in her right eye for many years, and finally driving was not advisable for her. Dr. Taylor did an EXCELLENT job! His manner is pleasant, not arrogant but professionally confident. My wife's vision was restored to at least 20/40 (from almost blind in right eye), with hardly a hint of redness of the white of the eye. Thank you Dr. Taylor and Dr. Miller for a job well done!

I walked out this afternoon and now I refuse to have anything more to do with Dr. Luu. I have dry macular degeneration in both eyes. The first visit with Dr. Luu, the first thing he said to me was "you are going blind". Let me try to slow it down. Not hello or anything else. So I went for the first injection in my left eye, which is the eye I am almost blind in. He told me he was testing that eye to see if I was allergic to the meds. If so I would just lose vision in my bad eye. A new appointment was made for Aug. 13th. I went, the left eye was deadened and not the right eye. I asked about it and was told that was the only eye work on my chart. I waited for about an hour, then I questioned one of the staff members about it. When I was told I was just here for the left eye, I got upset. A little bit of communication between doctor and patient would have been helpful. I am not a mind reader and will never see this doctor again.
