If you are receiving care at Heartland Eye, it is imperative that you ensure the care team is aware…read moreof your medications and existing health conditions. Dr. Farhat and his team will not do this on their own which can lead you to experience blindness or little vision after simple procedures. My father had a cataract surgery here which should have been uneventful. He was in surgery for a lengthy amount of time, suffered great pain, and lost vision in his eye. After receiving care from a true professional and expert in the KC area, we learned my father shouldn't have had a cataract surgery without additional steps and care in place due to a medication he takes. It took the KC specialist one visit to understand what had happened to my dad and that he takes a medication, Flomax, in which numerous medical studies exist related to the risks of this medication and cataract surgery. We watched Dr. Farhat stumble around with his words while trying to explain what happened to my dad and it was later clear he and his team had made a tragic mistake by their gross negligence. Vision is so important to quality of life. Do not receive care here if you can help it and have the means to go elsewhere.

For any other service and…read morewas kept waiting for an hour and a half beyond my appointment, I would walk out and NEVER give a dollar to the business. The doctors in this office (ie: doctors Stiles and Penzler routinely keep their customers waiting excessively and the office staff acts like you are crazy to expect your appt time to be kept. Either their staff over books not allowing enough time for each patient, or the doctors themselves are disorganized. Either way unacceptable. If you have another choice, take it. Doctors time is NOT more valuable than yours.

They were very knowledgeable and understanding of my circumstances. The Dr prepared me for any possible complications I might have in the next couple of decades so that I could make an informed decision before my next appt. Would recommend highly to all!

I just had surgery on both of my eyes with Dr Gentsler. You are going to think she's my family and…read moreI'm biased after you read this review; but I swear to you I did not know this doctor or anyone affiliated with them! The scheduling staff is fantastic! It's not only their friendliness, they truly work with you and try to get you an appt as soon as possible. Professionalism at it's finest, yet caring and compassionate. The techs doing the testing on your eyes are also professional and friendly, and they all seem to enjoy their job, which passes onto you a feeling of coziness. And Dr. Gentsler.....I cannot express strongly enough how wonderful this woman is to her patients!! I have sent 3 friends/family to her after I had my first appt with her. (and I just recommended her to my book club ladies last night). These were people headed to KC for eye appts and I told them about my experience with Dr. Gentsler and her staff. They all have fallen in love with her just as I have. You will not find a more caring doctor, EVER! She is so gentle and you feel like you're the only person she is seeing as a patient. Her results....well it's as good as it gets, she knows exactly what she is doing and will recommend what options are best for you. I am 2 weeks out from my 2nd eye lens transplant and I no longer need contacts or readers!! It was the easiest and least anxiety I've ever had with a medical procedure, a piece of cake! If you are in need of an eye surgeon, I'm here to tell you Dr. Gentsler is an absolute MUST SEE (no pun intended) doctor!! THE BEST! Carol Reynolds

If you want an impersonal, cold, non communicative experience from a doctor then go see Dr Stiles…read more My daughter, 22 years old, had a laser procedure today to remove a posterior polar cataract. This is the 4th procedure with multiple doctors in an attempt to improve her vision. Prior to this, Dr Stiles did a procedure to correct acute glaucoma in the same eye. This young women is losing her vision, no doctors really no why and you would think the least Dr Stiles could do when he saw her today was speak to her. He said nothing. Walked in, did the procedure, answered one question about pain, got up and left the room. No one from the office called her later in the day to see how she was doing. And in fact, there is NO improvement. They told her that as soon as the dilation wore off she would see results. Nothing and no phone call. When I asked her why she didn't call them, she said...this office is the worst and most difficult to get a hold of to have any sort of conversation. I will try tomorrow. So - shame on you Dr Stiles, for being so incentive to a person going through an ordeal this significant.

Review for The Eye Doctors on Wanamaker - Topeka, KS…read more I received four text reminders to arrive 15 minutes early for my appointment. I showed up 20 minutes early, only to be told they were running behind because a staff member had recently had a baby. I was asked to have a seat. Five minutes before my scheduled appointment time, I approached the front desk to ensure I was checked in--only to find out they hadn't checked me in yet. I ended up waiting 30 minutes past my appointment time before being called back. Once I was seen, I was pressured with upsells for services I didn't ask for and didn't need. The doctor seemed competent but spent less than 10 minutes with me and then directed me to another person for contact fitting. The contact fitting turned out to be a joke--just someone handing me a contact and a mirror. No instruction, no guidance, no hygiene consideration (like offering hand sanitizer or asking if I'd washed my hands). For this, I was charged $72. Luckily I had worn contacts before. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. I won't be returning, and I won't be giving this office any more of my business.
