Dr. Wentz informed me, Dr. Giuliari has over 20 years of experience and is highly regarded in his profession. Associated Vetreoretinal Uveitis Consultants have several physicians in this group located at 10585 N. Meridian Street in Carmel, off 31 and 106th Street ramp. It is extremely easy to find the office building. An Avon location opened 4/15/24 on US Highway 36, Rockville Road, if you prefer the west side. The office building has a free, large surface parking lot with many handicap parking spaces. The check-in office staff were friendly and appeared to have a routine in place that moved patients in a timely manner. The internal offices you visit after being called back have a specific function with a large waiting room located in the center of the offices. Eye exams, various eye equipment are in each room, and the doctors exam rooms move quickly with little wait time. Each staff member I worked with for each procedure was terrific to work with during all my visits. Dr. Guirliari was easy to talk with, friendly, knowledgeable, well-spoken, and thorough. He asked several times if he had answered all my questions or concerns. The staff also provided many pamphlets and papers explaining each step before and after surgery, instructions I had to follow, and explaining details of various diagnoses found. After several tests and measurements, Dr. Guiliari confirmed Dr. Wentz's diagnosis of a macular hole in my left eye that requires surgery. Basically, a gas bubble had to be inserted into my left eye. Surgery was scheduled just a mile from Dr. Guiliari's office at IU Spring Mill Surgery Center, which is known as a state-of-the-art ophthalmology surgery center on the second floor. They have a free, large surface parking lot with many handicap parking spaces. All the staff was phenomenal but more about the surgery center in their review. Dr. Guiliari was again thorough and reassuring, plus I felt very safe and comfortable in his care. My anesthesiologists, I think his name was Dr. Temple, and he was amazing!! He kept me as calm as possible and informed me of each step he and the staff were performing while prepping me for surgery. If you need a retinal specialist, I can highly recommend Dr. Guiliari, along with IU Health Spring Mill Surgery Center.

I got in contact with the Associated Vetreoretinal Uveitis Consultants through google search and I…read morecannot overemphasize how fortunate I was especially when they assigned Dr. Giuliari as my doctor for the retinal problem that I had. At first sight, and with his cool composure, he listened attentively to what I had experienced. He took his time to re-explain my problem with textbook images and what may likely happen during my treatment. He was well composed, very articulate, and reassuring. It appeared that he has done similar interventions before and had long years of experience. I felt very comfortable though remained worried at the mention of getting a few injections in my left eye that had the problem during the treatment. I remember taking injections on my buttocks many years ago and the thought of having similar injection, with the long, pointed, and sharp needles in my eye gave me goose bumps, sleepless nights, and fearful imaginations in the days leading to the first injection. The clinic is very clean, well-organized, and a trained staff that knows exactly what to do at every turn. After the preliminaries on the first visit, I returned a week later for the first injection. My blood pressure was taken, restated my date of birth, and read the chart with each of the eyes. The second stop, in another room, was to have images of my eyes taken, and the third was the biggest encounter with the doctor, the injection. Fearful that I won't be able to drive back home, my 24-year-old son, a Purdue University graduate, drove me to the clinic. In order not to let him notice how panicky I was, as his dad, his hero, I asked him to go back home and would call him when everything was done. In a few minutes after the images were taken, I was led in another room where I was to meet Dr. Giuliari. Another Assistant did the preliminaries with liquid drops on my eye. Now came the drama. Dr. Giuliari went through the images, explained what will happen during the treatment, and the goal. He came over to the right side of the chair, explained every step that he took: this medication is for this, look up straight and follow my fingers, this is to keep your eye open, etc. I did as he instructed. I remembered from my High School biology days that the heart beats 70 times a minute. I realized that mine was more than ten times that rate with shallow breaths, and probably the Doctor realized it too. I grabbed the arms of the chair very tight and had they not been securely screwed; they would have come out. And then he said this one will put a little pressure on your eye, a pressure that I did not feel in anticipation of the needle. After that, he tapped me gently on the right shoulder, saying, "you are done". What! Where is the injection? I took a very deep breath, trying to control the palpitations. Is the nightmare over, for real! He was professional, friendly, caring, as he looked to our next appointment. I left the hospital feeling good but a bit ashamed that I had imagined things different. Arriving back home, everyone expected to a gauze or a bandage over my left eye. They were afraid for me. How then would I explain that it was like 'liking a cone of ice cream' but still had to pretend to be brave like coming from a battlefield unscathed. Subsequent injections were like a walk in the park, relaxed, while my eye continued to heal. Dr. Giuliari is one of the best in his field, highly experienced, well-educated, and does his work with passion.

She didn't apologize or admit to it which was extremely frustrating. When I reached out to their clinic manager, they offered me a discount on the lenses that they ruined. They never followed up during each time point. I was the one stuck reaching out multiple times (via email and multiple voice messages) until they called me back. To this day, they still never got back to me about how much the replacement lenses would cost (with their "discount"). They refused to pay for their mistake and now I, as the patient, am stuck paying for it. Not sure why they think they can justify that they can profit from my mistake that they made. When ordering my contact lens trial since I got a new prescription, they never called me to let me know the trial lenses arrived. Again, I was the one reaching out to ask about whether or not they came in yet. Then when I showed up at to pick up the trial lenses before work, the lady was standing in front of the TV, changing channels multiple times before tending to me. The communication to patients is poor and they will treat you poorly as well. Extremely disappointing experience overall.

The office is conveniently located off of the 106th Street exit on Meridian Street. There is a large parking lot with many handicapped parking spaces that were well maintained and salted in this bitter cold weather. This was a very busy office when we arrived for a 1:00 appointment. We walked in behind 6 other individuals but with 4 check-in windows we moved quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful explaining the new patient paperwork. The waiting area has ample seating, comfortable chairs and a large flat screen to entertain us during our short wait. This is one efficient medical group. Each step in the process (testing, consultation and Laser procedure for us) has a separate office and waiting area (just steps from each other) as you progress down the hall. The wait was less than 10 minutes before the MA took us back for initial testing. She was so nice, very efficient, knowledgeable and reassuring. The Physician consultation and exam was thorough, comprehensive and professional. We soon realized the laser repair was occurring next...not at another appointment. After confirming diagnosis we moved to the laser procedure room waiting area. The laser room assistant was a little abrupt here (without warning grabbing his head back for drops) and lacked the bedside manner we experienced earlier. Other than this minor annoyance the entire experience proceeded smoothly and in less than 15 minutes. The entire visit and process took right at two hours. We really expected at least two separate appointments and appreciated the efficiency of this office. We highly recommend Dr. Prall and the group Associated Vitreoretinal and Uveitis.

Once qualifying, everyone in the office was hopeful with scheduling appointment for the actual surgery. They were offering a discount if you booked for the month of December, however, I was planning to be on vacation. I asked them if I pre-paid in December and scheduled for January if I could still get the discount-- which I could. They allow you to pre-pay, have payment plans, and/or can use your HSA. The procedure itself only took about 10 minutes. I have 3 great friends that have received Lasik surgery within the last 2 years-- everything they described was exactly how it went. They definitely relieved a lot of the stress that I had going into it, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't still nervous. The doctor and the techs were so kind and reassuring that I was doing a good job while the procedure was going on. Once the procedure was done, I was able to leave with sunglasses that I was advised to keep on for the first full day. Around the clock eyedrops are required for the first week and then drop to four times a day for the month. The doctor that did my LASIK called the next day to ensure I was doing OK and if I had any questions. I thought that was very nice bedside manner, and some thing that really stuck out to me. I came the next monday for my follow up appointment and everything went well. Currently seeing 20/15 vision. All of my friends that I knew that got Lasik all said the same thing - - that they wish they got it sooner. Now I can actually understand what they mean. If any of my fellow Yelpers are curious to know anything else, feel free to private message me on Yelp and I'd be happy to answer any questions that I can! 10/10 recommend.

My theory is that, albeit anecdotal, there are a lot of elderly patients that come here and perhaps they take advantage of that fact. Maybe that they "have no where else better to go" type of aditude. OK, yes, perhaps that's a bit hyperbolic but this place needs to stop wasting people's time.

A couple months after my SMILE procedure, I feel it's safe to say it's worth it!…read more Getting consultation for vision correction surgery was on my to do list for the past year or two. Good reviews and being one of the few places nearby to offer SMILE brought me to Elite. Eye charts and measurements were done during consultation in June, and questions like "Is Lasik or SMILE more advantageous for me" were covered. Procedure day came about a month later following another eye exam. A rundown of the procedure, anti anxiety medicine taken, and a few moments in a quiet room were done beforehand. After that, lay down on a medical bed, numbing eye drops, lower eyelids held, and then the machine overhead goes to work. During this time a lens goes over one eye at a time, you focus on a light for a few seconds, the machine raises and a couple wipes are done to the eye. When this was done, no pain was felt on one eye, and I only a very slight sting on the other eye while getting lasered. My vision was foggy for a while after leaving the medical bed. A few hours later following a long nap, everything looked good and clear. My night vision is still somewhat fuzzy and see some blurring around certain lights. It seems to be getting better slowly but surely though. All things considered, getting a SMILE done was a good choice, and Elite is the right place for the task. The staff are all kind, caring and enthusiastic every step of the way. The office is a relaxed environment with calm music playing and nature scenes showing on screens throughout the place. Many thanks to the staff of Elite!

I absolutely loved my LASIK experience at Elite LASIK…read more I narrowed down my search in the Indianapolis area to the top reviewed doctors around the city. After initial online consultations, it was clear that Elite was for me. Shout out to Tamika for walking me through the process, cost, and answering all of my questions at that point. She sealed the deal. Next up was an in-person visit. The worst part about this was dealing with the bright sun after my eyes were dilated - not a big deal. That day I spent time with Gabrielle, a sweet and calming presence - exactly who you want by your side. Then I met Dr Fisher, who walked me through which options were a fit for me and reviewed each of them in depth so I could make an informed decision. There was no pressure to decide anything and I went home to do more research. I ended up scheduling an appointment for LASIK. As far as timing, it was only a matter of weeks from the time I first reached out until I had my surgery. On that day, I was there for less than 2 hours and most of that was dealing with paperwork, trying to relax, and getting prepped with eye drops. My designated driver and I were in a private room with drinks, snacks, and the best dog ever if we wanted her to visit our room (of course we did). The surgeon, Dr Huang, also introduced herself before the procedure to again answer any questions I had. She has the best bedside manner - calm, confident, kind, and reassuring. She helped me feel confident in my decision. The procedure itself was very quick and, given that I had been prepped to know exactly what to expect, not scary at all. Nor was it painful. I wouldn't even call it uncomfortable, really. The numbing eye drops do wonders. I was soon sent on my way home with eye drops, a mask for sleeping, and directions to take a nap. My vision was already better, though blurry. As I woke a few hours later, I could see. That was it. I followed directions for the eye drops, drove myself to a follow-up the next morning, and was testing at 20/15 within the week. AMAZING! I have no regrets, no bad side effects (like dry eyes), and consider this life-changing. Glad I went with Elite - everyone there made it worthwhile.
