Not the place to go if you want YOUR time to be respected. Over 2 hours for an appointment is unreasonable

1.1 mi•Arena District

The office was open on MLK Jr. Day, which was great for me since I already had the day off…read more The location is centrally located in the Arena District in a building with other medical offices. Midwest Retina is on the 3rd Floor. I was considered a new patient, since I hadn't been seen since 2008. Registering/checking in was fast and easy. I was taken back for exam #1 right on time at 10:30. Exam #1 consisted of getting your blood pressure taken, verifying medical history, quick vision test, checking the pressure of your eyes, and application of 2 different eye drops-one to numb the eyes, the other to dilate the pupils. Then you wait in a darkened waiting room (smart idea since dilution eye drops make your eyes super sensitive). Exam #2 consisted of a lengthy examination of the internal and external condition of your eye balls by 2 different doctors. They each tell you what they saw & give you a plan for your eye health moving forward. Total office visit time was 1 hr 15 mins. Overall, I was very satisfied with Midwest Retina. Everyone was very professional and extremely thorough. Many of the staff I interacted with were very friendly and did their best to help alleviate the anxiety I have with eye appointments. I have an appointment scheduled for prophylactic laser surgery on one eye so I will update once that is complete.

i have an appointment at 10 and still waiting as off 11:24am. I have to get back to work and it's…read morereally annoying when as a Hygienist we try to be on time.

I found Dr.Kelley after a couple other consultations with refractive surgeons. A friend referred…read moreme. When it comes to surgery on my eyes, a referral is highly coveted. The other consultations provided options other than Lasik. I was told the outer layer of my eyes were not smooth and lasik would not be good option. They suggested a couple procedures that were newer and more expensive than Lasik. I was pretty disappointed about that. When I finally got to Arena Eye Surgeons (Dr. Kelley's office), his consulted told me that I actually was a candidate for Lasik. What the other doctors neglected to tell me was that wearing contact prevents oxygen from getting to your eye, and alters the shape. They advised two weeks, no contacts. Dr. Kelley advised four. After four weeks of glasses, my eyes apparently returned to their normal shape. The surgery itself was painless. You are awake, and your eyes are completely numbed. They say you can see instantly, but with all the goo in your eyes, you can only see things fuzzy. But over the next day after it starts clearing out, then you actually can see! It even gets better over the next week! Dr. Kelley always reminds me about the success of my surgery. Sometimes your vision is 20/20, sometimes a little less, but mine is now 20/15 (better than 20/20). Coming from a -8.5/-9.25 glasses prescription, this is amazing. The total cost was around $3,750.

I found Dr. Kelley from some Facebook friends that said he was who they had a great experience…read morewith. Everyone on the staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr Kelley has a very extensive resume as well, and has been doing this procedure since 1996. Doc took plenty of time answering my questions and making me feel comfortable and explaining exactly what to expect. I asked why some of his competition offers a menu of different prices and he has one price? He was upfront and honest in saying that the procedure is the same, regardless of how good or bad your vision is. While it might not be the cheapest around at $2300/eye, I'd rather pay a bit more for a great doctor who is going to work on my eyes. He called me the evening of my procedure, just to make sure I was doing ok, and left his home phone #, just in case I had any questions or concerns. It's hard to find docs these days that will do that. My vision is great and I'm very happy with my experience with Doc Kelley.
