    My eye exam was great, Dr. Anstadt did an awesome job and I don't have any complaints…read more However, the billing department completely messed up my insurance. I was billed under my health insurance and not my vision insurance that I pay extra for. I was charged a copay of $75, which I should have contested right then and there. But since it was my first exam on the new vision insurance, I waited to get home first before checking on what the copay should have been, which was only $10. I called the office right away to let them know the error, they said they would notify billing. After a couple weeks without hearing anything, I called and left a voicemail for the biller. The biller eventually returned my call a few days later and informed me there was no refund to be made. I later discovered they had actually billed both my health AND my vision insurance. At the end of the day, the vision insurance portion was cancelled by the eye center, and my health insurance portion stuck (likely because this netted the eye center a higher payment). Be very careful with the biller at this location and how your insurance is handled, and don't overpay your copay, they will not cooperate or be reasonable about it. They'll just keep the extra cash.

    I've been a Kirk patient since I was a kid-- my dad has been a patient of theirs for even longer. I…read morehad moved away, but have returned to help my parents. I always thought of them as completely trustworthy, but recently they performed magic for me. TLDR: Hiral Patel gave me the best prescription I've had in almost two decades and Viviana Cano eased my anxiety over switching back to contact lenses after almost three decades of wearing only glasses. Now, all the extra details. Last year, my vision was so bad that I applied for blind disability. My mom and dad insisted that I come home and go to Kirk for a definitive evaluation. Five hours into the appointment, my future was bleak. The final recommendation, a week later, was surgery. My parents were totally ready and willing to pay for it, but I hate spending their money and put it off put if off put it off. I'm going to skip the specifics on the stuff about the bad diabetic protocol prescribed by my primary and how I ginned up the courage to change my own insulin dosage and how that probably saved my life and jump right to the day when a friend told me that her eyes didn't track together and she didn't see in stereo but wearing hard lenses gave her real vision for several hours a day. I immediately thought "let's get me over to Kirk and ask them about this." I was almost too shy to make the appointment, but the possibility of being able to drive again was too seductive. I called and set the time. I got there an hour early. David and I sat in the parking lot eating precut watermelon from Jewel (same plaza.) I was nervous. Doctor Patel strutted to the lobby to grab me for my examination and I was immediately filled with confidence. Anyone with that much personal security must be great at their job. I was not disappointed. "I want this to work," I offered. She smiled quickly and told me "remember to blink." I'm drowning you in minutiae. Let me bring this to a 10/10 conclusion: my vision is now corrected to 20/20 (I can read a sign from three blocks away!) and the lenses correct my astigmatism and keep my eyes in line. Now: Viviana. When I asked her to take a selfie that she liked (for me to use in this review,) she is so humble that she didn't immediately understand that it was to praise and appreciate her. She's extremely deserving of both. I came in two days after my miracle exam, not sure if I had successfully removed the acuvue daily lens from my right eye. She took a peek and confirmed that it was out, and placed an order for some more trial lenses so that I could make sure it was the right fit for me. I came in again today with both lenses still in and significant anxiety over that fact. Today, Viviana removed the lenses and gave me a comforting tutorial that I think might help (and then listened patiently and socially awkward me gave her an unsolicited lesson on trafficking of vulnerable groups in rural areas that flowed from my rant against Loyola facepalm. Patient and kind and so helpful! Thank you. Infinity/ infinity
