I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ejaz Husain and his incredible team at Associated…read moreOphthalmologists. Dr. Husain performed my LASIK surgery back in 2004, and I enjoyed amazing 20/15 vision for years. When cataracts began to affect my vision, I knew there was only one person I trusted to restore my sight--Dr. Husain. From start to finish, the cataract surgery experience was exceptional. Dr. Husain's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for his patients are unmatched. He thoroughly explained every step of the process and helped me choose upgraded lenses that have truly transformed my vision. The results are phenomenal--I am thrilled to have clear, sharp vision again! The entire staff at Associated Ophthalmologists deserves praise as well. They are warm, welcoming, and highly efficient, making every visit comfortable and stress-free. Their attention to detail and patient-centered approach reflect the highest standards of care. If you are considering cataract surgery, LASIK, or any eye care procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ejaz Husain and his outstanding team. They have given me back the gift of incredible vision, and I am beyond grateful.

Great DM optometrist! Before moving to Iowa in the mid 2000s, I always went to one optometrist…read moreback in the Chicago suburbs. I always thought my previous optometrist was excellent and did a good job. After one visit with Dr. Koenen, I learned I was completely wrong. My old optometrist had been under prescribing my contacts for years!! I talking freaking years!! Dr. Koenen corrected my prescription by more than a diopter!! When I left his office after my first visit, I just froze outside staring at the brick building across the street. I could actually see the texture of the bricks! It was so beautiful. I had no idea things could be so clear and in focus so far away, by which I mean across the street!!! I have had glasses since 3rd grade and contacts since 7th grade so I have always accepted having poor vision; however, I never knew how poor I was actually seeing until I went to Dr. Koenen. Dr. Koenen is very thorough in his exams. There are lots of tests and questions, all of which makes him very accurate. He also gives very helpful advice about eye care and eye wear. I was having some dry eye problems a few years ago, and I asked him what he recommended. I was so grateful that his first response was some additional supplements (fish oil) and some other physical techniques. His first response was NOT a prescription. In this day, it is such a relief to have a doctor address the origin of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms. He did say that if those techniques didn't work, there are other medical options. He also offers a procedure that takes a panoramic photo of your eye. It's called a screening retinal photo. Apparently, this is a much more accurate method than the typical white light viewing during the exam because he can see your entire eye all at once instead of small sections at a time. It does cost ~$39 for both eyes and is typically not covered by insurance. With my poor vision, I always get these images because you only have two eyes, and they don't grow back! He also does the blue dot glaucoma test instead of the air puff test, which is apparently less accurate and more uncomfortable for the patients. I know I would rather have a couple of drops in my eyes and a blue dot than a puff of air in my eyes! He does recommend checking your eyes every year just like a physical with your family doctor. The office staff is also great. Megan and Shawn are both opticians who are very helpful and friendly. Their website is a little dated but that's ok. It has all of the information you would ever need. Despite their website's appearance, they are still pretty modern. They have the first-time patient forms online. Also, they do text message and/or email reminder/confirmation notices. Regarding the purchase of contacts, I always buy contacts through Dr. Koenen. Their contacts are only about a 5% markup, which is worth it for the following reasons: 1) you know you are getting fresh lenses not old ones that have been sitting in a warehouse, 2) they can be delivered to the office so they are not sitting outside your house exposed to the elements (severe weather is very bad for contacts), and 3) they can give you some trial contacts at the office to last until your order arrives. Also, Dr. Koenen is current with the latest types of contacts. I used to use the 2 week contacts but Dr. Koenen recommended that I switch to the one-day contacts. Initially, I was reluctant because they are more expensive lenses ($190 for a 3 month supply - both eyes), and I was suspicious that he was just trying to sell me more expensive contacts. Since I had had such good experiences in the past, I decided to try the new lenses. After one day of using the new lenses, I learned I was wrong again. These lenses are amazing!!! It hardly feels like you are wearing contacts. I have even had some long days when I got into bed but had to get back out because I forgot I was still wearing contacts! They are that comfortable! Regarding glasses purchase, I have not purchased glasses here before. Since I primarily wear contacts, I did not want to spend a lot on backup frames. At the time of my first visit, most of the frames were pricy ($250 and up), which would be in addition to the lenses. When I was last there, they did have some economy frames. I am currently getting a quote from here and a few other places to see what is the best option for me. Here, they do have ultra thin, polarized lenses so that will be a deciding factor too. Overall, an excellent place to go for eye care. I am a customer for life.

My experience with the eye doctor was a great one and this review has nothing to do with his…read moreprofessional abilities but with the front desk staff who after I asked whether my insurance would cover my visit confirmed that it would. At the end of my visit, I was charged an exuberant amount for a contact eye evaluation of $85 and paid an overwhelming $150 out the door with what I went in for. The fact that I wasn't actually going to be covered for the contact evaluation was not told to me and that I would still have to pay an additional $35 for a co-payment which normally should cover exam fees was also not explained to me. I don't beleive the front dest staff did a good job at all with this matter which made my overall visit very displeasing. Again, the eye doctor was great . I just feel front desk staff should not provide misinformation and put in more effort to explain costs to patients prior to services being rendered.
