I recounted a recent bad optometrist experience (elsewhere) to a coworker, who suggested I see an…read moreopthalmologist. This was especially important, she thought, since I had recovered from a torn retina and really should seek specialists when it comes to my eyes. She was completely right, of course. I found Dr. Lam via positive Yelp and Google reviews. I'm so thankful that I did! He was personable and very thorough in his exam. He explained that the blurred vision in my post-surgical eye (from the pneumatic retinopexy/retina surgery) was in fact cataracts. He indicated that I was overdue for surgery since my vision was so negatively impacted. Dr. Lam did my cataract surgery about a month later. It was deemed a success with at least 20/20 vision. Unfortunately, there was blurring over my lens. Dr. Lam explained that I'd need a follow-up laser procedure. Dr. Lam did this laser surgery, a capsulotomy, a few days ago. After resting/napping later that afternoon, I opened my eyes and had clear, unencumbered vision out of my 2x surgery eye! This is the first time I've had at least 20/20 since 1st grade! It's been a long 13 month journey with two eye surgeries and 1 minor procedure, but thankfully, my vision is even better than it was. Dr. Lam is very experienced. In my opinion, he uses tools to accurately and fully assess one's eyes. I felt 100% comfortable with him at all times (a little less with some Medical Technicians if I'm being honest..). He's answered all questions, often fully explaining/anticipating questions even before I have a chance to ask. He also approached treatment more conservatively; for example, he recommended waiting several months post-cataract surgery before having the capsulotomy since lasering too early could re-tear my retina. My capsulotomy was nearly 13 months after my retinal surgery. I'm thankful to Dr. Lam and have great confidence in his abilities! I'm so happy to have found such a capable opthalmologist.

Over the last 6 years I have been to 2 previous ophthalmologists. I have changed services due to…read morethe office staff, not the MD. However, I will say, never before had an MD spent time with me, explaining why they are testing my eyes for glaucoma and why they were "watching" rather than doing anything. All testing was done in-house and results returned on the same day. No need to reschedule for a "testing day" as was the policy with my previous ophthalmologists. Dr. Gupta's commitment to me, as a patient was impressive AND his office staff was professional, kind and helpful, as well. I don't say this very often, but this is a place I would enjoy working. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I have already scheduled my 2022 annual appointment. I have finally secured a place for my eye care!

Dr Gupta and his staff were extremely thoughtless in letting my 90 year old mother drive herself…read morehome from her appointment which included eye dilation. She got lost for over 10 hours and ended up crashed at the Wisconsin border, even though I told them she was driving herself and shouldn't have her eyes dilated this visit.... she could have killed someone! They took no responsibility and shrugged us off as if we were unimportant and wrong. I would not use this doctor, or this practice, and I would be EXTREMELY careful about letting your elderly relatives use it as well, totally careless and irresponsible!

From out of the past comes this review. I'm not sure on the year but let's say circa 1997 I took…read morethe family to Toronto for long weekend. Headed home on Sunday and had a local Toronto AM talk radio station on and they were doing a show on LASIK. Being myopic I was interested in the technology for possible use on me. They had this doctor on who was so interesting and so knowledgable. The fact is he practically invented modern Ophthalmic surgery. As the show went on I was stunned to find out this man had his office in Hinsdale and hell's bells I lived in Oak Brook. I made the appointments to get it done. Dr. Foulkes was even more engaging in person and we talked shop and also talked about an array of topics all of which he was seriously prepared for discourse. This is one smart man. I told him after the exam that if he could get me to 20/40 I was in. He fixed me with a penetrating gaze and said: "If I can't get you to 20/20 I won't take you." Well he looked at my tests snd said he could 20/20 me. I did the procedure and went home, napped for four hours and KAZAAAM! I could see again. It was a religious experience. Then I found out Dr Foulkes failed to get me to 20/20. I tested at 20/15. An in the park Grand Slam. My vision is still 20/15 and I'm 64 years of age. Of course I wear readers, but nothing prescription. Just Dollar Store magnifiers. Dr. Foulkes is a bespoke health care provider and you will pay a small premium to see an industry legend. Pay the two dollars. Get your Lasik from the best, or go blind like the rest. That's a little hyperbole. Are you seeing like looking through runny egg yolks? You need an appointment with the good Dr. Foulkes! It's all so very basic, go see Dr. Foulkes for your Lasik. I needed a seeing eye dog when I went to see him. I entered his reception area and grabbed the dog by the tail and swung that dog all over the room. Patients were diving for cover. Dr Foulkes intervened and asked what I was doing?I explained I was just taking a look around. I got a million of them. How many doctors do you meet in your lifetime that decades later you talk about in ways reserved for the veneration of saints? Dr. Foulkes is that Doctor, though he is a totally friendly guy who I bonded with in minutes. Oh yes Dr. Foulkes is a saint. He is just too busy to know it. He literally changed my life.

After continuing to find Foulkes Vision online still, I felt I needed to leave a review. 1st of…read moreall Dr. Foulkes is no longer practicing since he became ill, the new Dr. Dhaliwal MD, Jasmeet S. (known as Chicagoland Eye Consultants took over Foulkes Vision Business and I give them 1 star. Their staff was horrible, no respect and lack of empathy for patients and my husband seen the new doctor and was not pleased. There will never be another Richard Foulkes MD, this doctor was so caring and loved by his patients and A+ for his staff they were so respectful and kind. Dr. Foulkes and his staff definitely deserve 5 Stars and more. But do not be fooled Dr. Richard Foulkes Business name is still there but not this amazing person Dr. Richard Foulkes.

So let me just say I compare all eye doctors to the doctor I had to leave behind when I moved away…read morefrom Indianapolis. I was looking for a practice that uses advanced technology (has optomap retinal scanning) and a good selection of frames, and isn't run by old people afraid of technology. Enter Dr. Franceschini's practice. I was so glad I found them. Easy to book an appointment as a new patient back when I found this office in 2016. I was super pregnant at the time so wanted to get my new glasses before the baby was due, and his folks were great about working with the lab to get them done and to me before baby got here. When I came in for this year's eye exam, I was pleasantly (read: extremely) suprised and happy to see that the office had moved to an electronic lens system for the eye exam. Meaning, Dr. Franceschini switches between "1" and "2" with a cool remote-like thing. It means he's less in your face (not that it was an issue) and you can compare the exam letters more easily. I love the embracing of technology. Moving along to Dr. Franceschini's staff - they are a friendly, amazing, helpful group. Gina is my technician and she's been great in helping me find frames, order frames, debate frames...I seriously think she's amazing. She also helped me with my contact fittings this year. In an era where customer service seems to be dead, Dr. Franceschini's office and Oakbrook Optical seriously take great care of their patients/customers. I can't imagine going anywhere else to have my eyes taken care of. Seriously - great service, advanced eyecare technology, great people. That's my takehome message. I'm the president of their fanclub.

First - they deleted by Google review :) I came in as a new…read morepatient based on the positive reviews and had a great experience with the doctor, he was prompt, kind, and informative. However, my experience with the staff, particularly Collette, was disappointing. After my exam, I worked with Collette to try on frames for my low prescription. I found a pair I liked but decided to hold off until I felt better and could return with a second opinion. Collette made a subtle remark under her breath about hoping the frames would still be there, which struck me as unnecessary. Two days later, she called to ask if I was coming back for the frames. When I explained that I was still deciding and had requested a copy of my prescription, her tone noticeably shifted. She sounded curt and dismissive, and told me getting my prescription wasn't her department, even though the front desk is only steps away. When I later called back for an update, she answered again and was just as dismissive. I didn't feel confident my request would be followed through, and asked to speak with someone else. Her response made it clear that helping me was a burden. Ultimately, I had to make a third contact and visit the office in person to get my prescription. Even then, it wasn't signed by the doctor, and no one, including Collette, acknowledged the confusion or offered an apology. I've worked in customer service and wouldn't speak to any customer the way I was spoken to. I expected more from an office with such strong reviews and designer branding. Unfortunately, due to the unprofessional behavior I experienced, I won't be returning.

I booked my appointment with Dr. Raichand a few days in advance after dealing with an eye issue for…read moretwo weeks. I found the front desk to be friendly, organized, and engaged. The nurse who did my exam was kind, and informative! I always love when I go to the doctor's and learn something new - it makes me feel empowered and in control of my health. Dr. Raichand gave me a thorough exam, was kind, gentle, and friendly. We collaborated together on the plan of action, which struck me as a wonderful approach to patient care. I felt like my concerns were truly heard, and Dr. Raichand took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I understood each step of the way. When I mentioned I had been googling and using other sources to "diagnose myself" he didn't bat an eye, and pulled out a visual aid to show me exactly what was going on with my eyes, and why my google diagnoses was not accurate. This collaborative approach left me feeling confident and reassured about my treatment plan. He collaborated with me on medications, making sure my insurance and price point were taken into account, and explained exactly how to use the medication, asking me if I needed additional information. Bathrooms located on the floor were absolutely pristine in cleanliness... Overall, the experience was seamless and supportive from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Raichand and their team for anyone looking for compassionate and thorough care. I woke up today two days after medication and my eyes are back to healthy! I couldn't be happier, I am so glad I booked!!!!
