As I am to be out of town for a couple weeks and not able to see my primary Opthamologist, I wanted to see an eye specialist sooner, to make sure nothing was wrong. Well, Tracy (sp?) from Galanis eye center--was super amazing and accommodating; she was able to set me up to see Dr. Galanis that same morning (I know the doctor and center are busy normally, so felt very blessed to be able to get in and see him so quickly) Gretta, the tech and Dr. Galanis were great as well, and Dr. Galanis provided me with helpful feedback and some drop prescriptions that will help with my eye discomfort. He and the office definitely helped give me peace of mind and I'm super impressed at the quality of customer service and how well the office is run! If I ever need an eye specialist or have eye concerns in the future, while visiting St. Louis, I will definitely be coming here! Great job, Tracy and Galanis Cataract & Laser Eye Center! Lesley

I went in for laser monovision and Dr Galanis said I had a VERY small cataract. If he removed it,…read moremedicare would pay for it and I would just have to pay for the lenses upgrade. I had that done, being told I would not have to wear glasses now.. I was back for decreased close vision and told there was a 'band' and it could be lasered off.

That is what I came there to rid myself of. The reading eye is constantly irritated. They gave me steroid eye drops with no relief. So here I am wearing reading glasses several thousand dollars later. Highly disappointed.

He is very smart, knowledgeable about all the eye challenges I had, and has well trained staff to support him.

She keeps my off site and BJC medical doctors informed of my status. Her optic assistants were all great, thorough and professional.

Was lucky enough to get squeezed into the busy schedule at Eye Microsurgery. I used to go to Clarkson Eyecare, and had a really bad experience with them last year, and vowed that I would no longer go to them for my yearly eye examination. Using my insurance's "find a provider" tool, I just took a chance on Dr. Andrea Andrud based on how centrally her office is located here in St. Louis. I'm glad I rolled the dice! The entrance to the medical building where Eye Microsurgery is located is actually across from the building's parking garage, a bit hidden but eventually found it with some help from a friendly patient sitting in a waiting room. Historically, I'm a bit grossed out by hospitals. I'm a germaphobe and hospitals always seem like a breeding ground of communicable diseases and bacteria. I was obviously very happy to see all the COVID-19 precautions the facility was taking. Elevators had rules posted and even had markers to mark where you should stand if you have to share an elevator. The waiting room for Eye Microsurgery was very easy to locate, and was very comfortable and welcoming. I really liked that the office sent a packet to my home a week before my exam to fill out and bring with me. That cut down wait time before being seen. The women who greeted me at the front desk were very hospitable and professional. Typically, when I go to a more "big box" eye care center like Clarkson or Lenscrafters, it's not that I don't trust the doctor I'm seeing, but going to an eye surgery center felt different. The doctors there are Opthamologists, which means they diagnose and treat eye diseases, including vision loss, detached retinas, cataracts and glaucoma. They perform laser retina surgery, refractive surgery and lens replacement operations. Dr. Andrea Andrud was a pure joy to visit with! She had an incredibly warm bedside manner and made meaningful small talk during our visit. One example was talking about my dog and suggesting I could get a halloween costume for him with "Doc Hound" embroidered on it. (Doc Hound was a play on words on dachshund! I love word play) She fully explained all the exams she was performing, and made me feel very at ease. It was incredibly easy to trust her expertise! She set me up with a very comfortable pair of contacts as well as some great eye drops for my excessively dry eyes. Really looking forward to my appointment next year!

28 year old - Male - 8 Month old detached retina; Scleral Buckle Surgery - Dr. BRADLEY T. SMITH…read more 6 months ago, I came into The Retina Institute with a detached retina in the right eye. The retina had been detached for a total of 8-9 months and I was beginning to lose my vision from the top left of my field of vision downward to the center. I was sent to The Retina Institute for a follow up after my optometrist noticed tearing in my scans. I met Doctor Smith who explained my condition. Due to the intense mixed martial arts fighting I have been doing since I was 16 (Nearly a decade of competing and heavy sparring), my nearsightedness caught up with me in the form of a detached retina in the right eye. Eight months had gone by till I had noticed the curtain appearing in my vision out of the top left corner of my eye. Unlike most retinal detachments, the loss of vision was slow and not complete at first, leading to my left eye filling in the details over time. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Dr. Smith promptly scheduled surgery for two weeks later. To ensure I was making an informed decision, I sought a second opinion at the University of Washington. The consulting ophthalmologist there not only recognized Dr. Smith by name but also endorsed him as one of the nation's top retinal surgeons, strongly recommending I proceed with his treatment plan. I immediately did just that. The surgery was performed at St. Luke's Hospital, and the results were remarkable. Within two days post-operation, despite residual trauma, my vision had already surpassed its pre-surgery state. Now, six months post-surgery, I've experienced substantial improvement, with my full field of vision restored and clarity continuing to progress. In the next 6 months, I am confident that I will have functional vision in this eye for the foreseeable future and I am already so grateful that I can see this well already. Dr. Smith, although not the most chatty or sociable personality I have met, is one of the most competent doctors I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. Dr. Smith saved my eyesight, in both eyes. I am so grateful I can see my beautiful wife, go back to work, and be able to see this wonderful world we live in once more. Three months post-surgery, I even completed a Tough Mudder challenge, marking a significant milestone in my recovery. That's all due to Dr. Smith. In conclusion, Dr. Bradley Smith's professionalism, surgical talent, and overall competence have been pivotal in restoring my quality of life. Dr. Bradley Smith is insanely competent, professional, and talented surgeon and he saved my eyesight. I am profoundly grateful for the care provided by Dr. Smith and his team at The Retina Institute.

Did Do NOT give…read moreClarkson any of your hard earned dollars. I wear transition lenses (as in multiple scripts in one lens). I pay for eye wear insurance. My puppy recently got hold of my glasses, scratching into the lens so deeply. I can't see out of them. I need them to drive, to read, to work, to live basically. I need glasses. I took them to this store where a very friendly and kind person, Christina, helped me get them reordered. Said it would be 7-14 business days. Inconvenient but cool, so I paid the extra $150 or whatever to have them replaced. Three weeks go by, and not a word from Clarkson. I call them. They say something about they aren't in yet but will give me a call when they do come in. Cool. Another two weeks go by and I still can't see and I still haven't heard from them. So, I call again. This time, they tell me "oh, it looks like the lenses are ready but the frames are on back order from the manufacturer." After a deep breath, I ask if I'm suppose to wait indefinitely for them or can I come in and pick out a new pair of frames and pay the difference? They say, sure "for a $40 restocking fee." Oh, so now they're charging me for a restocking fee for a product out of stock. But, they're willing to let me come in and pick out new frames, paying the difference. Ok, cool. I get to the store, my buddy Christina notes her store manger isn't in, but she'll give Charlie a call about the restocking fee. Charlie waves the fee. I pick out new frames, then they tell me I have to pay for them. New frames aren't covered under the insurance I paid for them (when I originally purchased my glasses in 2025) OR by the additional $150 "insurance fee." So, I guess now I just wait for whenever the manufacturer feels like churning out some more before I can live my life again. B/c of health insurance/vision insurance, I'm not even eligible for a new eye exam until like March 2026. This is not customer care, this is not a value, this is not a service to our neighborhood or community. This is just another big chain looking to rip you off and blame you for their mistakes. I am one of the most loyal people I know, and I thought I was supporting a local chain. Nope. They're owned by some corporate giant bragging about all their providers but not actually providing the full spectrum of services they say they do. Go give your hard earned money to literally anyone else. Americas Best - here I come!
