I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kim. She was incredibly kind, warm, compassionate,…read moreand understanding. She took so much time with me, listened carefully to my concerns, and patiently answered every one of my questions. I never felt rushed or dismissed, which unfortunately can be rare in healthcare. It was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had with a physician. I also had a wonderful experience with her resident, Dr. Kyle, who saw me first. She was equally warm, friendly, and attentive and immediately made me feel comfortable. After dealing with chronic eye issues for many years, I only wish I had been referred to Dr. Kim sooner. I left my appointment feeling heard, cared for, and confident that I finally have someone who genuinely understands my concerns and wants to help me find the best path forward. I am incredibly grateful to have found her and would recommend Dr. Kim and her team without hesitation.

It runs like a 1970s poorly managed small business. Icon Eyecare is a top heavy organization with…read morean inexperienced management team whereas technology is an afterthought. Unfortunately, Icon Eyecare's onboarding/training has been the least effective onboarding implementation I have ever encountered. Delays and gaps in communication during the interview and onboarding process whereas a week or more went by where I heard from no-one. The employee introduction that was sent out to introduce me to the staff wasn't about me but rather another employee. The Peter Principle appears to be in full effect at ICON Eyecare, with individuals placed in leadership roles without the requisite competencies to effectively manage teams, processes, or organizational growth. Turnover is rampant. Advancement within the organization appears to be heavily influenced by personal relationships with leadership, specifically Dr. Xxx, rather than performance-based criteria and historical data. Additionally, it was verbally shared with me by a middle manager that long-term professional success is closely tied to one's relationship with Dr. Xxx, and I opine that negatively impacts role stability and retention. Employment at Icon Eyecare hosts a very poor culture in that it is highly cliquish and gossipy, with inclusion and influence concentrated within particular groups. The mileage reimbursement rate is significantly below industry standards. 27 cents a mile will not cover wear and tear on your vehicle. With that, there is also criteria that must be met on the year and value of the car you drive in the field for Icon Eyecare. I was given instruction from my supervisor to stop driving when I hit my maximum mileage payout as the reimbursement rate was capped and I wasn't getting paid for the additional miles driven. Leadership practices at the middle-management level tend to lean toward a command-and-control (yelling and name calling included) approach, which impedes engagement, trust, and performance. It has been noted that techs do not need experience to work at Icon Eyecare as Icon will train them. The employees receive training and then leave the organization and take their new skill set where they are paid a fair wage and are respected. As a member of the growth team, I was disappointed to learn that my business cards as well as my supervisor's business cards contained an incorrect phone number for approximately eight months which directly impeded outreach and effectiveness. It is important to note that there appears to be a tight budget in that I was unable to receive current collateral to promote the business despite multiple requests. Once received the newly ordered referral forms, I realized I was provided the incorrect collateral, again, by my supervisor. The organization's extreme risk aversion to the Kickback Law compliance materially limits what a physician representative can reasonably and effectively do in the field and middle management doesn't understand the law whereas poor direction was given and a violation occurred. Organizational changes occur frequently and rapidly, often without soliciting input from those most affected, which can disrupt workflows and reduce engagement. Employees who raise concerns about ineffective policies and procedures appear to face adverse consequences from coworkers and leadership, which discourages constructive feedback and continuous improvement. In the eight months of my employment, I observed two CEOs and a Director leave the organization, all of whom appeared to be pushed out by a cliquish leadership team. This high-level turnover raises concerns about organizational stability and leadership effectiveness. Rather than investing in existing employees and internal capabilities i.e., CRM for the growth team or for an iPad in the field, the organization opted to acquire a competitor. Given existing operational challenges, this decision raises questions about capacity, strategic priorities, and oversight. My advice to future employees is to ensure that all employment-related agreements, job descriptions, and offers are documented in writing, signed by both parties and dated. In my experience, within just three months, I went from being offered a company vehicle to being offered a $1,200 monthly stipend instead, and ultimately was required to use my personal vehicle in conjunction with a mileage tracking platform and being reimbursed at .27 cents per mile. The absence of a job description and organizational chart limited clarity around responsibilities, decision-making authority, and team structure, which can affect onboarding, performance expectations, and overall operational efficiency. There appears to be limited responsiveness from senior leadership to emails from staff, which can hinder collaboration, timely problem-solving, and employee engagement.

I had a consultation here and they didn't provide photos as promised. We tried to set up a second…read morephone consultation to remedy it, but the office staff consistently didn't respond to emails for weeks and I eventually gave up and asked for my deposit back. Also at the in-person consultation, when I asked about the possibility of doing a midface lift as well as a lower bleph, Dr. McCracken said "well you're not going to be on the cover of Vogue"--I guess he was trying to manage my expectations but it actually really hurt my feelings and stuck with me. I certainly did not express that I wanted to be on the cover of Vogue so it sort of felt like he was calling me ugly.

I recently had an upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer to my cheeks and laser treatment…read morealong with an endoscopic brow lift by Dr. McCracken, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional care and results I received. From the very first consultation, Dr. McCracken was attentive, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every step of the procedure, set realistic expectations, and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. The surgery itself went very well, and the recovery process was far easier than I had anticipated--thanks to both Dr. McCracken's skill and the excellent pre- and post-operative guidance provided by his amazing staff. The results are beyond what I hoped for: natural, refreshed, and balanced. Friends and family have commented on how well-rested and youthful I look without being able to pinpoint exactly what's changed, which is exactly what I wanted. Dr. McCracken is not only a gifted surgeon but also a true artist. Their precision, aesthetic sense, and genuine care for their patients set them apart. I am incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone considering facial cosmetic surgery. Thank you, Dr. McCracken for helping me feel like the best version of myself!

Her calming demeanor helped comfort me throughout the whole process.

Both Insight Vision Group (ophthalmology) and Associated Eyecare (optometry) are the most…read moredisorganized businesses with whom I've ever dealt with in my home state of Colorado, even worse than UCHealth/CU Medicine, which is truly a low bar. Associated Eyecare: - In 2025, I saw Dr. Pethe, who was wonderful, and who released my medical records to the portal like a normal doctor, immediately after my appointment, on the same day, with no follow-up required, and he printed out my new prescription for glasses - In 2026, this week, on Wed 9/9, first receptionist Noemi failed to call me to alert me that Dr. Pethe had left this practice (no wonder why!) *MONTHS AGO*. Instead, I found out during my 24-hour in advance reminder call, not the proper communication, but Noemi single handedly called me to "remind" me of my appointment with Dr. Maleeka Bokhari, who I had no idea who she was, or that Dr. Pethe had left the practice, and this wasn't even a proper communication of the *PROVIDER CHANGE*! This forced me to waste my time on Tue 9/8 calling back, to understand what was going on. Then, Noemi lied about me - on CCTV (conveniently she walked to the back office, without CCTV, to lie about me, to Alma & Joe, where Noemi told Alma that I allegedly [incorrectly] "refused to sign an intake form," when in fact I was begging Noemi to stop wasting my appointment time talking, to let me see/sign the intake forms, and to get the show on the road, so I wouldn't be late to my ophthalmology appointment nextdoor with Dr. Stephanie Muylaert). Noemi delayed my appointment by 40-minutes, after I arrived 12-mins late, which she turned into 40-minutes, negatively impacting me - the paying customer/patient, as well as Dr. Muylaert. Then I heard Alma outside my room talking negatively about me, victim blaming me, the paying patient/customer, for Noemi's/Alma's mistakes, as I explained to Joe. On top of all this, I called this office *THREE TIMES* today, given they still have failed to release my medical records to the portal, 2-days later, which Dr. Pethe did last year, same day, as did Dr. Muylaert. Then I had to call back multiples time on Friday 9/11, with Andrea, to fix what happened on Wednesday 9/9, which should've been done correctly the first time, while Andrea hung up on me/transferred me, or otherwise passed the buck, wasting my time today & on Wednesday, forcing me to do her, Andrea's, Alma's, and Noemi's job for all three women, as I'm now on the phone with the manager, Emma. Insight Vision Group: - In 2025, I went to great lengths to update Dr. Muylaert on my medical history/medications, to establish care, as I left UCHealth/CU Medicine. - In 2026, Dr. Muylaert's team failed to ask me about/correct/update my medications list, impacting my medical care, and Dr. Muylaert failed to communicate new medical changes/ICD-10 codes to me, which I learned about through my medical records, requiring a follow-up appointment, wasting my time further. At this point, I'm about ready to report to Aetna to refund Aetna's/my money, as well as report to DORA/the CO Medical Board, as this medical practice is a huge hot mess. Now I get to work over the weekend - 1/2 a business day - because Noemi, Alma, and Andrea forced me to babysit them for *FOUR BUSINESS HOURS TODAY* after *TEN FAILED OPPORTUNITIES TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES ON TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, TODAY ON FRIDAY 9/11/26, the 25th commemoration of 9/11*, after I gave them *THREE OPPORTUNITIES ON WEDNESDAY* to fix their mistakes since 7/31, when Dr. Pethe left the practice, which they also failed on Tue 9/8, causing Emma, their manager, and I to have to waste *ONE HOUR* of my business day today - and weekend, due to economics opportunity cost - to do all of their jobs for them, which Emma is finally: 1) fixing / solving, sending me my medical records from optometrist Dr. Bokhari 2) teaching Noemi, Alma, and Andrea basic customer service, which I was taught age 11-21.

He was very approachable and took his time explaining exactly what he saw and how he arrived at his diagnosis.

His assistant, Lexi, even wrote down for me the notes of the exam that I can take home and show to my wife. This was a very impressive experience and I highly recommend this practice for eye issues!
