    I can't say enough good things about Dr. Jose, who just recently joined this group. My wife and I…read morefollowed him from his last practice. Why; I don't know. The front reception area is terrible. 4-5 receptionists at the front desk, and they are all on their computers doing whatever or b.. s.....g with each other while completely ignoring you. The patient signs in and waits and waits until receptionist decides to look at sign-in sheet. Then patient waits some more: no greeting, no nothing. They are rude and unobliging. Put these receptionists and their computers in the back and get people at front desk that will greet and sign in patients. I stood in front of desk today for almost 10 minutes as two receptionists BS'd with someone about the weather, and the others were on computers, before one of them looked at me. This is not a onetime thing. Dr. Jose did my cataract surgery last year, and I've had several visits since. It's always the same. Expect each visit to last 1 1/2 hours. Mostly waiting.

    This place has been great for our eye care needs and we have utilized it the entire 12 years we…read morehave resided in Park Ridge. The man that really makes this very popular office what it is is Dr John Moy, a renowned cataract specialist. There are of course other competent doctors here but a few have come and gone. There are also a bunch of technician staff helping out with various eye health tests. This place is far from perfect though as the waits are usually long, and that's the only reason for the 1 star knock. It's not that they are slow, there are just a lot of patients per doctor due to demand for their good services. We always try to get early morning appointments and they usually have to be done 6 months and even a year in advance. Dr Moy is one of those doctors who is booked for the whole year if you're not already a patient. If there is some test that may not be covered by insurance (and there are only two that we have encountered), the staff always gives us a headsup first. Anyway, we are very happy with our eye health care here and the other doctors on staff we have seen are Dr Indre Rudaitis and Dr Kaushik Annam, a glaucoma specialist.

    I have been going to see Dr. Winkler for several years and his care was fine but I have the same…read moreproblem every visit. My problem is with the staff! Every year I show up on time, early even and every year I sit and wait between 30-60 minutes past my appointment time, even when nobody else seems to be there. Today I had a 12:45 appointment. I got there at 12:30, as requested, to check in and go over my insurance, etc. There were 3 ladies behind the registration counter. They told me to have a seat, and they would call me very soon. There was no one else in the waiting room so I hoped this was going to be a short wait, or at the least, be on time. As soon as I sat down, all 3 disappeared. I assume they went to the back to have lunch. Another lady came out to help another patient that had walked in. So now there are 4 ladies working in this office. I waited 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment. Not 1 person communicated to me that the doctor was seeing another patient or had fallen behind or anything. Basically, I was completely ignored so 75% of the office staff could eat lunch together. The 4th lady that did appear, suddenly disappeared as well. Another couple walked in and were waiting at the front counter for 5-10 minutes when I decided to give up and leave. I will find another eye doctor that has a staff that can communicate with its clients and actually get you in on time. Shameful!!

    I have been going to Dr. Winkler for 30 years I can not say enough about him! He is the most…read morecaring patient Doctor you will ever see! He takes the time to answer all of your questions and also has a great caring and friendly staff! I would highly recommend him!
