Been going every year for 3 years. Yearly checkup with 930AM appointment. Check in with friendly lady They are very thorough as maybe 5 to 6 different tests. Lose count ! Dr. Christopher Wood is very cordial & professional. He reccommends various actions to keep eyes healthy. He answers all my questions,too. I reccommend 110 % read more

This is one of the best ophthlamology practices in the greater Chicago area. Both Dr. Wood and Prickett have excellent technical skills plus they bring a humanistic approach to their work. They are highly ethical and treat both their patients and staff with the utmost respect. I have been examined by Dr. Wood for floaters. I am developing a cataract (fortunately does not need surgery) but when the time comes I would travel to Arlingon Heights from Chicago. They have the most up to date technology including laser cataract surgery. read more

I have been going to Northwest Eye Physicians for the last five years. The first doctor I saw was not very friendly. I switched to another doctor who helped me solve my problem. He was kind and caring. The staff at Northwest Eye Physicians is professional and knowledgeable. The downside is that they schedule their doctors very tightly and you will have to wait to see your doctor. They have three separate waiting areas for all of the patients they see and don't have room for. I have waited up to an hour to see my doctor. Still, I go back because of the quality of the care I receive there. I recommend Northwest Eye Physicians. read more

Northwest Eye Physicians - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

See all

Like many others, this is my first time at Northwest Eye Physicians. I went to get my eyes checked and the entire experience has been wonderful! From the front desk staffs to the eye doctor. Dr. Adam Prickett was the best!!!! He was very patient and knowledgeable. He explained and answered all my questions as I had many. He had one of the best bed side manners...very professional and understanding! The staffs at Northwest Eye Physicians were just as friendly and welcoming. The entire feel of my experience has been QUALITY! This is a top notch facility. I highly recommend Nirthwest Eye Physicians to everyone!!! read more

Can't believe I missed putting my review of this clinic up but this place Dr Wood, Dr. Jose and Dr. Prickett are physicians I would NEVER let them treat my eye condition again. They had from September 29th 2023 through January 3rd, 2024 to diagnose and treat the sudden vision loss I had and NONE of them could do it. Dr. Wood likes to tell everyone they have crusty eyes and buy his products ftom the front desk when you check out. Well his staff told me he owns the practice, of course he's pushing his products but as far as his expertise in eye conditions, he has none. After my last visit on January 3, 2024, I decided never to go back and find a physician that could do something. So when I got my statement in the mail, they billed me and my Insurance for a test never performed. I called, they agreed they did NOT do the test they billed me for and have yet to file a corrected bill. My insurance is investigating this now as a fraud claim. PLEASE do yourself a favor and don't waste 4 months like I did with Northwest Eye Physicians read more

I highly recommend Northwest Eye Physicians. The staff is great. The service is top notch. I trust my vision to this great group of doctors. I highly recommend. read more

Northwest Eye is a wonderful practice with kind and caring employees. the doctors are great, the space is pleasant and the staff goes out of their way to make the patients feel at ease. I recommend them to all of my friends! read more

I always enjoy my visit with Dr. Wood. I've always found him helpful, informed and knowledgeable of the latest trends. He performed my Lasik surgery and my eyesight has been good at 20/20 for over 20 years. I would recommend if you need an ophthalmologist. read more

Northwest Eye Physicians facility has outstanding office space and surgical center. The staff is caring, helpful and compassionate. I have seen several of their doctors and find them to be exceptional. I had cataract surgery with the group and had wonderful care and follow up. I highly recommend Northwest Eye Physicians! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Wood for over 10 years and he is a consummate professional. On two occasions I had a torn retina and I had complete confidence in his performing laser surgery to repair the tears. I have no hesitance recommending him or his colleagues. And they've recently renovated their offices! Great space. read more

My life saviors! BEST ophthalmologist service and solution from Doc. Ali. She was amazing and I cannot thank her enough. I had a stye which turned into an ugly, annoying, embarrassing, nasty, and stubborn as heck chalazion. It developed last summer and no amount of antibiotics or heat masks would make this sucker budge. After seeing one optometrist and 2 ophthalmologist and no solution- I felt defeated. I googled one night as a last resort and saw eye physicians. I wanted this chalazion removed so bad. It began to mess with my confidence to the point where I wouldn't make eye contact with people and or wear glasses even at parties all the time. I called the office and they scheduled me right away. I met with Dr. Ali and she was so sweet and kind. She told me what my options where and how she could help. She was fair and honest and gave me facts and prevention info. She did an in patient surgery on the spot and within a week I WAS HEALED! That chalazion was finito, gone, completely vanished. Cannot thank her enough. This place really does care for its clients!! read more

Incredible eye doctors but you have to wait a long time every time'. Dr. Prickett took care of my husbands cataracts and did DMEK procedures in both eyes. His outcome is fantastic. read more

Dr. Pickett never checked my allergies. If he did, he would have known I am allergic to Neosporin. So he prescribed a salve with Neosporin in it. Burned my eyes and eye corners badly. Called another practice and got an emergency appointment. New eye doctor figured it out in minutes. If I continued with NW Eye I'd be blind. read more

I want to start off by saying this place goes above and beyond in handling their patients. From the reception to the doctors, everyone here is extremely friendly and on point in what they do. I'm writing this review because I just had Lasik done, which went flawlessly. Dr. Prickett did the procedure, assured me everything was going to be fine and was very informative in any questions I had. I was able to see perfect one day after the procedure was done. Couldn't have asked for a better experience here. Highly recommend. read more

I had some issues with my eye over the weekend, and by Sunday night I decided I should have it checked out, just to be sure it wasn't a detatched retina. I called first thing Monday morning, and they got me in that same day. Everyone was so kind and helpful, and I left feeling grateful for the excellent care I received. I'm happy I called, and I highly recommend Northwest Eye Physicians! read more

Tried to get a morning appointment for a lasik consultation and gave them weeks out. I wasn't like, hey I'm bored can I come in next week? I gave three weeks out. And was available every morning thewhole week! No opening. Very rushed, impatient, and impersonal receptionist. So they lost a new patient. But the receptionist did not seem to care very much. They must be doing very well, because.... The consult is $200 so if you're not a candidate for lasik then you just blew $200. Otherwise it goes to the procedure. Pressure is on! What a risk to take. Ta Ta! To your response to this review. You have a CSR that likes to tell fibs. She did give me two potential times on that date in the afternoon. I then asked her if there is any time in the morning for that week. She said no. I was left on the line in silence so I said, "well, okay... thanks anyway. (Brief uncomfortable silence) ok bye" she responded with "bye" That is a lot of conversation from a person you claimed hung up. I am not looking to get anyone in trouble or reprimanded but from the very brief conversation with your recep gave me the sense of her being inexperienced or completely overwhelmed. read more

Our immediate and extended family have been seeing doctors at this practice for many years. We all feel they are the best eye doctors in the northwest suburbs. Dr. Christopher Wood is especially appreciated due to his expertise in eye surgery and extensive knowledge of eye disease and its treatments. Yes, there's a wait for Dr. Wood but as one other patient remarked, he's well worth the wait. Going to the doctor isn't a favorite thing of ours but we don't mind coming here....there's a happy vibe to the place. The receptionists and technicians all seem to enjoy their jobs and are polite. Our calls and messages are always promptly returned. The practice manager is accessible through the website if you have a concern which is good to know. So....check them out if you need an eye exam....we think you'll be very happy. read more

I've been seeing Dr Wood and Dr Prickett for a couple of years now with a rather complicated situation. I've been to a few other doctors and had limited success. The doctors are great. Very caring and concerned. The staff is great also. Very professional and knowledgeable. I think you'll be pleased with your results if you give them a try. read more

I am very pleased with the service from the front desk to the doctors here. I recommend them. I have been to the commerized eye glass places Costco,American Best, Pearl vision, etc and feel these people are just doing a job and not something they truly care for other people. The service and quality attention to detail is important. I have been coming here for many years. read more

This place is a joke, I called before 1 PM about a laceration on a Thursday and an answering service told me they closed early today and the Dr. on call would call me back. Nine hours later still no callback and I called again and they thought I didn't need a call back today?! For a laceration!? Then I get a voicemail call back stating the Dr. is not accepting new patients for lacerations and to goto the ER instead. Unreal. read more

We have been going to Northwest Eye Clinic for many years. Dr. Wood Is wonderful as is his whole staff. They are all professional yet very kind and patient. read more

Great doctors & staff. I was a first time patient with an eye injury. They scheduled me immediately. The Dr. and staff were great. They gave me samples for antibiotics & eye drops so I did not have to go running to the pharmacy. My 4yr old son loved the examining room. The Dr & nurse interacted very nicely with him. He can't wait for his eye exam before starting Kindergarten. read more

I am eager to express how grateful I am, for the past 25+ years, to have found Northwest Eye Physicians. Dr Wood and Dr Albertson's dedication to their career and concern for their patients is quite evident on any visit. My eye conditions are endless, as they once said, 'you have very unique eyes'. Even though I feel like I'm there weekly, the doctors and their staff still maintain a kind manor, patience, and professionalism. The addition of Dr Setlur works well with their team. I thank you for having such skilled talents. read more

The entire office staff is completely unprofessional and not knowledgeable at all. They act like children, gossiping loudly outside patient doors and aimlessly blocking hallways with their cliques. They know nothing about eye pressure, prescriptions, or basic opthamology issues. Dr. Prickett is arrogant and condescending, who gets upset when asked to explain something. I have absolutely no faith in his "expertise" (which he arrogantly kept referring to) and I will not be returning to him. I gave an extra star solely for Dr. Wood, who is always booked up but now I realize is worth the wait! read more

Very professional group. I would not trust my vision care to anyone else. Dr Wood needs to be scheduled far in advance, but is the best

Having gone to Northwest Eye for over 30 years I could not say enough about the care and Personal interest shown by the staff. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Can't say enough about Dr. Wood and his staff. I have had an eye infection for over a month and I knew that the last doctor might not have dx me correctly. Dr. Wood knew instantly what was happening, gave me the correct medicine, and the very next day my symptoms were gone. Have been better for two weeks. Highly recommend!! read more

Here's my first visit review - very nice, updated, clean office with plenty of parking. Friendly office staff and hardly a wait time. Very thorough exam by the ophthalmologist. He spoke to by me and my tween daughter in non medical terms, explaining everything as it was being examined. So happy to have found a new dr in the neighborhood! read more

The clinic was good.. Dr Wood was great. He gave me a free eye drop sample which was awesome. The nurse was very friendly.. They also keep glasses and contacts but the frames are all branded and very expensive.. And most imp for me ,the lense section probably (though i checked well) is not in network with my insurence (UHC )..so I had to find another clinic for that read more

Dr. Rasha Ali was very thorough and professional

I was very pleased with my experience here. The last Eye Doctor that I went to felt super rushed and I did not feel like they cared about me. From the moment I walked into Northwest Eye Physicians I felt like they cared. Dr. Albertson was super nice, took her time with her examination, and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend this place! read more

I am a type 1 diabetic and get yearly eye exams and had to find a new doctor this year. Dr. Ali took the time to explain all of her findings and to go over all of my concerns for my continuing eye health. She was able to tell me that my previous doctor who had told me that I was beginning to have the start of diabetic retinopathy, was not true. She showed me the pictures they had taken and showed me exactly what my eyes look like. Being a type 1 diabetic for 32 years and finding a doctor who takes her time to ease my fears is truly an awesome thing for me. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone, they are great!! From check in to check out!! read more

Dr. Adam Prickett provided me with the Gift of Sight. Another eye surgeon had told me that she didn't know if she could do much for me. Now, after cataract surgery, I will be able to drive again. How does one show gratitude; seems a thank you is just not enough! Dr. Prickett's skills as a surgeon cannot be disputed! He also meets the other very important requirements of an ideal doctor , as outlined and published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings: -Confident: The doctor's confidence gives me confidence. - Empathetic: "The doctor tries to understand what I am feeling and experiencing, physically and emotionally, and communicates that understanding to me. - Humane: The doctor is caring, compassionate, and kind. - Personal: "The doctor is interested in me more than just as a patient, interacts with me, and remembers me as an individual. -Forthright: The doctor answers my questions in a forthright manner. - Respectful: The doctor takes my input seriously and works with me. - Thorough: The doctor is conscientious and persistent. Dr. Adam Prickett, does, fortunately for me, possess all of the above traits! Rita Brunn A Happy Camper read more

I called them today right as they were closing. I was experiencing a lot of sudden eye pain. They told me to come right over despite the fact that I have not been there in years. The whole team was kind, thorough and stayed past closing on a snowy Saturday. I can't say enough good things about their care and professional. read more

Have been going to Northwest Eye Physicians for years. A very good practice with very competent eye doctors.

I had someone recommend Northwest Eye Physicians and I was surprised at how thorough they were. They checked everything and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them to anybody in need of eye care. read more

I have been to several other eye care centers and doctors and have to say that Northwest Eye Physicians and Dr. Wood are the best! Had a great eye exam and then needed a chalazion removed. Dr Wood took his time and carefully explained everything to me and then proceeded to do the procedure. I felt no pain as he took care to make this as painless as possible. He obviously cares deeply about his patients. His demeanor is second to none! I drove there from Elmhurst and it's worth it to find such a great practice. read more

My Physician recommended me to Northwest Eye Physicians after a visit to the ER for severe eye infection. I called Northwest Eye Physicians and they gave me an appointment for the same day. Dr. Adam Prickett was my Doctor and he immediately assessed the condition of my eyes. Dr. Prickett is a Doctor that cares for his patients. He set my mind and worries at ease after he explained all and then prescribed the correct medication. Due to the extent of my injury, I had to make mandatory visits every other day to continue to see the progress of my eyes. I will continue to go to Northwest Eye Physicians for my yearly exams -Contact Lens and eye glasses (in the same office). After the infection I had in both of my eyes, I will only trust specialist like Dr. Adam Prickett. I will forever be Thankful for finding Great Doctors like Dr. Prickett. I live in Rogers Park, about a 40 min. drive and it was worth the drive. Highly recommend!! read more

It's a nice facility and the staff are friendly but plan your day accordingly because it is rare to not wait at least an hour after your scheduled appointment time before seeing the actual doctor. The technician may call you out of the main waiting room after 10 or 15 minutes but don't let that fool you. After she does a test or two with you they'll put you into a different waiting room before you see the doctor and even when they call you out of that and put you into a doctors room you can expect to sit there and wait as well for the doctor to come in to see you. Very unfortunate because I do like Dr. Albertson, however in the future if I ever need something more than a yearly eye exam done I will be looking elsewhere because consistently waiting over an hour after your appointment time every time is unacceptable. read more

had cataract surgery by dr wood ,one year ago and can see like a teenager. dr. albertson did followup and has been first class.iput off surgery for a few years and wish i had done it years before.i would highly recommend northwest eye physicians to anyone on the fence considering cataract surgery .i would also like to add contrary to some reviews i have read about not being able to get an emergency appointment that my first appointment was when i called at 11 in the morning and got in to see dr albertson at 2 in the afternoon. read more
