I have been seeing Dr. Merry Gindorf since shortly after moving to Cicero, Illinois in 1998. I am…read morevery nearsighted, have mild cataracts and some extra problems. I am a visual artist and have severe "lazy eye" which makes it hard for me to focus both eyes together. As a senior person, I have also developed a retinal condition causing me to see shadow doubles of the edges if things - making it hard to read and drive. Although I have seen opthalmologists before, they did not recognize the complexity of my eyesight the way Dr. Gindorf has been able to, assuring I gave the best possible coreective lenses. Because of her intelligence, kind and patient manner with me in the office and her comprehensive care, I have been seeing her for 25 years - I can't imagine a better doctor!

Dr. Gindorf was amazing! She took the time to explain the ins and outs of the eye, and why I'm…read morehaving certain issues. Nobody has taken the time to explain why I have a hard time keeping track of my reading position, or why I continuously got pinkeye. She explained thoroughly and in a simple manner I could easily understand. She also provided several options in contacts and glasses and did not force any sales. Was very welcoming. I was comfortable and felt like I was in good hands right away! Would definitely recommend and will be going back!

My daughter was referred to Dr Ireland many years ago due to focus issues, which improved after…read morevision therapy. He is the only optometrist she wants to see; it is unfortunate that his office in Palos closed, so we now travel to River Forest. When you wear glasses every waking hour, you learn what fit and style works best for you. There is a wide selection of frames available, and the office staff listens to what my daughter prefers and does not push the "trendy" frames just because of her age. Highly recommend this doctor and his staff.

I've been a Kirk patient since I was a kid-- my dad has been a patient of theirs for even longer. I…read morehad moved away, but have returned to help my parents. I always thought of them as completely trustworthy, but recently they performed magic for me. TLDR: Hiral Patel gave me the best prescription I've had in almost two decades and Viviana Cano eased my anxiety over switching back to contact lenses after almost three decades of wearing only glasses. Now, all the extra details. Last year, my vision was so bad that I applied for blind disability. My mom and dad insisted that I come home and go to Kirk for a definitive evaluation. Five hours into the appointment, my future was bleak. The final recommendation, a week later, was surgery. My parents were totally ready and willing to pay for it, but I hate spending their money and put it off put if off put it off. I'm going to skip the specifics on the stuff about the bad diabetic protocol prescribed by my primary and how I ginned up the courage to change my own insulin dosage and how that probably saved my life and jump right to the day when a friend told me that her eyes didn't track together and she didn't see in stereo but wearing hard lenses gave her real vision for several hours a day. I immediately thought "let's get me over to Kirk and ask them about this." I was almost too shy to make the appointment, but the possibility of being able to drive again was too seductive. I called and set the time. I got there an hour early. David and I sat in the parking lot eating precut watermelon from Jewel (same plaza.) I was nervous. Doctor Patel strutted to the lobby to grab me for my examination and I was immediately filled with confidence. Anyone with that much personal security must be great at their job. I was not disappointed. "I want this to work," I offered. She smiled quickly and told me "remember to blink." I'm drowning you in minutiae. Let me bring this to a 10/10 conclusion: my vision is now corrected to 20/20 (I can read a sign from three blocks away!) and the lenses correct my astigmatism and keep my eyes in line. Now: Viviana. When I asked her to take a selfie that she liked (for me to use in this review,) she is so humble that she didn't immediately understand that it was to praise and appreciate her. She's extremely deserving of both. I came in two days after my miracle exam, not sure if I had successfully removed the acuvue daily lens from my right eye. She took a peek and confirmed that it was out, and placed an order for some more trial lenses so that I could make sure it was the right fit for me. I came in again today with both lenses still in and significant anxiety over that fact. Today, Viviana removed the lenses and gave me a comforting tutorial that I think might help (and then listened patiently and socially awkward me gave her an unsolicited lesson on trafficking of vulnerable groups in rural areas that flowed from my rant against Loyola facepalm.

Dr. Glavin is THE Go-To eye doctor/ophthalmologist for the Southwest Chicago suburbs. He has been…read moreour family eye doctor ever since he took over Dr. Mundt's practice over 30 years ago. He treated my mother for cataracts and glaucoma for all her years and she could still see great at almost 100. He recently performed cataract surgery for me on both eyes which went uneventful and without complications. My vision is now perfect after living with really bad nearsightedness since I was 11. And for any other eye conditions, this a doc who has seen it all and knows how to treat it. Everyone else in the office is great as well, Dr. Wennerberg, the technicians and office support staff. You will deal with them all during your visit and they are all terrific, making your doctor visit go as smooth as possible. (I have dealt with bad office staff of doctors and that has caused life complications I don't need.) Wait times have always been short as well, never more than 5-10 minutes. Note that Dr. Glavin does not do the lasik eye surgery. I had been thinking about it for a while and wisely decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Glavin first. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering lasik get an INDEPENDENT, unbiased evaluation and opinion from an ophthalmologist first. I was VERY glad I did and for me it worked out for the better. You should be getting your eyes checked regularly anyway.

Dr. Glavin and his associate Dr. Wennerberg are very compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. The surgeries went smoothly and I now have GREAT vision in both eyes. The Glavin Eye Center provided a great experience for me with helpful staff guiding the way. I would not hesitate to recommend the doctors and staff for any eye-related services.
