I had my cataract surgery scheduled for both eyes of right eye December 3 and the left eye December 17. They needed to remeasure my left eye to confirm the lens that would be implanted that was confirmed on December 3 when I arrived for my surgery on 17 December I had to wait over two hours and was told they were waiting for my lens to come. They performed the implant and when I got home, I that they had implanted the wrong lens, which was confirmed the following day. I was in scheduled for a second on the 19th during that anesthesia I felt extreme pain I could see both doctors and I even exclaimed in pain. Dr. Amato had assured me that they would send a note to my of work stating that my driving restricted due to of during driving in the letter was never sent and they closed for Christmas break, causing me to lose pay. I am very dissatisfied with ophthalmology associates. They treated the whole process like an assembly line. I would look into other options before I settled on ophthalmology .

It was my first visit to determine whether I needed cataract surgery. My appointment was at 10:00…read morea.m. Was not called back until after 11:00. Several test were performed by staff and a lot of waiting in between. It was more like a cattle call. Too many people scheduled in one day. I remarked to the staff and also the Dr. who I didn't see until after 12:00 p.m. that the wait was far too long for anyone. I recommend scheduling less patients instead of trying to see an exorbitant amount of people to pad their pockets.

I reached out to the Des Peres Eye Center as a new patient. I called the location (Arnold, separate…read morephone number) where I wanted to have my appointment. I confirmed that they took my insurance. When I arrived at my appointment, I learned that it was at the Manchester location. After driving across town to the Manchester location, I informed the receptionist that I called the Arnold location initially, but they set my appointment for the other location, but never told me. And that even though there are separate phone numbers for the two locations, they both go to the Manchester office, but there is nothing noting this. She didn't seem to care or realize the confusion this would cause. I then handed her my insurance card when she informed me that they don't take my insurance. She explained that they take the medical insurance with my company, but not the vision insurance (this is an eye center). At this point, I cancelled my appointment and left. Huge waste of time!

DO NOT GO HERE. The front staff and patient care are terrible, dishonest, unprofessional, and…read moredisrespectful. My family member lost vision in his eye here. When he came into the office with severe eye pain and sudden vision loss, they completely dismissed him and simply said they are an appointment-based clinic and told him to go home. This was a major factor in him losing vision in his left eye, as he was unable to get emergency care for over six hours. Any idiot would know that this is an emergency, and they should have handled it better -- at the very least, they should have told him to go to the emergency room if no doctor was available. The on-call doctors also do not call back within the 30-minute timeframe they claim is their protocol, and you have to call multiple times just to get a call back. The front staff mock and disrespect you with snarky comments and lie to cover up their mistakes. When you reach out to raise these issues, they also don't call back and completely dismiss you. Go to a real hospital like SLU or WashU Ophthalmology. This clinic is untrustworthy, incompetent, and incapable of providing proper patient care. Switching to a different hospital/clinic was the best decision we made -- the treatment and patient care are so much better, it's like night and day.

Linda Tsai, MD, has been my ophthalmologist for many years…read more I could not go to her for six years, because of my insurance, so I became a "new" patient. May 22 I had an appointment with the full eye exam. Since I was last there (and they did find my earlier eye appointment situations), my eyes have not changed. Dr. Tsai said my eyes have settled down. She did the full eye exam, and all is well. Dr. Tsai is an incredibly approachable, friendly, knowledgeable and patient ophthalmologist. P.S. The address is 1040 N. Mason Road (and signage indicates that), but it's in the Medical Office Building #2, second floor, on the campus of Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital.

I thought everyone in the office was professional and caring from start to finish. It cost me $7,780. Dr. Gira explained the procedure and the upcoming timeline (should I choose to have the procedure) very well, answering several technical questions with concise and accurate answers. I've been told by several doctors in the past that LASIK is out of the question for my extra-sensitive eyes with thin corneas and larger-than-normal pupils. I was comfortable enough to let Dr. Gira operate on my eyes, and the outcome was outstanding. I was scheduled to arrive at 6:30 AM. My surgery was at 7:30 AM and first follow up appointment was at 1:30 PM the same day. At 1:30 PM, my eyes were a little swollen, but I could see 20/15 out of both eyes! I had no eye pain during or after the surgery. A week following the surgery, during my final follow up, the doctor attempted to further correct my visual acuity using the phoropter (big thing that goes in front of your face with lots of switchable lenses), but could not do so because it was essentially perfect. Dare I say my visual acuity is now better than I can ever remember or could have imagined. I had to put drops in my eyes (three times per day) for 4 weeks following surgery, which stung a bit for a very short time, but it's 100% worth it to be able to see so well. The outcome was so impressive, I recommended my brother have his eyes examined and fixed by Dr. Gira as well.

Dr. Kursar also told me in 2005 that my left eye was in the early stages of keratoconus. I'm glad I did not have the surgery on my left eye as glasses work fine and my vision hasn't worsen in my left eye. I can't help but to wonder if my cornea was stolen. Interesting enough Ophthalmologist and Associates told me that I had a stigmatism that could be corrected with a gas permeable contact and they where right.

I had my appointment with Dr. Branstetter, who was very quick and thorough about the exam. This was the first time I have ever had my eyes dilated and, although it was an awkward feeling, I definitely felt like I was getting my money's worth out of the visit. The office was clean and well lit, and I picked up new frames while I was there (actually, the lady at the front desk suggested them and I loved them, so kudos to her!). When I came back the following week for my glasses, they were just as friendly the next time and I left feeling welcomed. Overall, a great experience. I have spoken to three of my coworkers who also go there and see Dr. Kursar because they work well with our insurance, and a family friend without our insurance, all of which have had great experience with the doctors and the office!

We had the pleasure of knowing Dr McReynolds for about 10 years. Then lost touch with her when she moved to another practice.

She is friendly, thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. The office staff and optician will make sure you find the right pair of glasses that best suits you.
