Being 85 years old and having multiple vision problems, I have visited my fair share of eye…read moredoctors. I've come across doctors who were very short with me, inaccurate with their diagnosis, and just excessively rude. On one occasion my daughter had taken me to a retina specialist (Dr. Matthew Ziemianski). Now, I am not one to say negative things about others but this doctor had the worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met. After a THREE HOUR wait (In an almost empty lobby) and only a 5 minute evaluation, I had left furious, and my daughter had to hold back her tears. I suffer from macular degeneration and my daughter had asked Dr. Ziemianski if he thought surgery would be an option to improve my vision, and he had basically responded with, "You have to deal with the fact that she's too old, nothing will help her at this point, but she'll probably die before she goes completely blind." After that horrible experience I almost wanted to never to visit another eye doctor again. However, a family friend insisted that we see Dr. VanBuren of Phoenix Ophthalmologists. So I agreed. To begin with, the wait time was (at most) 10 minutes. The tech, Jennifer, who did my exam prior to the doctor seeing me was beyond wonderful! Our friend had told their office about the horrible experience I had with Ziemanski and it was as if she was going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She was very sweet and very effective and answered any questions (politely and patiently) that I asked. When Dr. VanBuren came in to see me he, too, was very kind when suggesting what options I might be able to take. (He even apologized about Ziemianski's harsh remarks). Over all, in all my years of eye doctors visits, Phoenix Ophthalmologists has the absolute best staff of technicians and doctors. Very friendly, kind and clearly there to help make your day (and life) better. Thank you for the wonderful experience! I will definitely be back for any and all vision related needs! (And thank you to my granddaughter for typing this out for me.)

Dr Van Buren is caring knowledgeable and personable. Office staff is friendly and efficient…read more Highly recommend .

I had severe cataracts in both eyes and had been told that while I was a candidate for cataract…read moresurgery that they didn't want to raise my expectations too high. On my first visit , I found everyone in the office to be very helpful. The technicians I saw and doctor cunningham were very kind and caring and helpful in explaining what they were doing , and what the outcome could be. Doctor hancock was equally professional and very caring. After cataract surgery on both eyes, I am now able to see as well as before.I lost my sight. Thanks to the lord and to doctor cunningham and his wonderful office and staff. On a scale of 12 ten I give them a twenty. Thank you.

I will not return to this practice. I should have left them last year when they hung me out to dry…read morein 110-degree heat. My appointment was for 12:30. When I got there, the office was locked, with a note on the door saying they were closed for lunch between 12 and I, with no visible inside activity. I gave them one more chance this year, only find a major problem this week when I received a final notice with a final payment due, but no proof of service, or backup information. I went to the Guadalupe office on 7/27/26 and was told they could not help with the situation, because it was not their problem. It belonged to their off-site billing section. I was told to contact corporate in Dallas by phone to resolve this matter. When I asked for a statement showing services provided, they said they do not have that information in their office. What? It is all in Dallas. The final notice came without my receiving any statement or billing or service information, either by mail or email. They added insult to injury when they sent an email wishing me Happy Birthday. So, no advance notice of any amount due, and no list of services provided prior to the late notice. I was told that everything is handled by corporate. What happened to the old medical practices where they were responsive to their patients? Is it all to the point of major corporations?

Dr. Kootman has been my ophthalmologist for almost 20 years. I have always been satisfied with his…read morecare and service. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with cataracts and he discussed with me the surgical options. He recommended the Light Adjustable Lens. After watching a couple of videos regarding Light Adjustable Lens, I opted to have this done. I opted to do monovision so that I would never have to wear glasses again. I would hopefully see both far and near. I had the surgeries done about a month apart at his surgical clinic. The surgical clinic's staff creates a very clean and comfortable environment and I felt at ease. After the surgeries and after "locking in" the final adjustment, I now have 20/15 vision in my dominant eye, and I can read the smallest print on Dr. Kootman's card. It is amazing. I highly recommend the Light Adjustable Lens. Dr. Kootman is very exact, very professional and very caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Kootman and would also highly recommend the Light Adjustable Lens.

He explained everything I needed to know about cataracts and the cataract surgery. I had cataract surgery performed on both eyes and could not have been happier with the results, I would recommend Dr Kootman to anyone who has cataracts or any eye problems that need reviewing. The office staff were professional and courteous. Every time I went in and needed another appointment they accommodated all appointment dates and times that I needed. You will be happy with this office location and Dr Kootman.
