My mother, who is 83 years old, resides in Austin, TX, and is a new patient of Dr. Krishnan at the…read moreEye Institute of Corpus Christi. She had a complicated cataract situation in her left eye and was dreading surgery. Dr. Krishnan allayed her fears and clearly explained the procedure to be performed and the time it takes to recovery. Only necessary tests and steps were taken and my mom's surgery was performed with a lot of care with almost no pain or discomfort to her. Dr. Krishnan is an excellent surgeon with many years of training and experience. Based on my mom's experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Krishnan to anyone having problems with their vision. The post-operative process has been a great experience in itself! Dr. Krishnan himself called my mom periodically to check on how her vision has been progressing. The office staff is extremely nice and caring - thank you Michele, Sonia and Melissa. The surgery nurses, Betty and Becky were also excellent and did a great job of calming my mom's nerves before the cataract procedure. My mom uses a cane - the compact and well-designed clinic faculty helped keep her walking to a minimum and I as a caregiver found the set up very manageable. Dr. Krishnan trained at the Mayo Clinic which I had the chance to visit many years ago - a leader in health care with a tightly integrated care system. It is great to see Dr. Krishnan bring this concept into his clinic and practice in Corpus, TX. I consider my mom a lucky beneficiary of his training! Techno and marketing mumbo-jumbo and "laser this/that" has crept into eye practices everywhere, but for us there is nothing more important than receiving personalized and individualized care - especially for a complicated organ such as the human eye. My mom owes the return of her vision to Dr. Krishnan and his trained staff at the clinic. It is a wonderful feeling! Thank you, Dr. Krishnan!

I had cataract surgery with Dr. Krishnan in June 2025. After surgery, I experienced persistent…read morelight sensitivity, inflammation, poor contrast, glare, floaters, and visual disturbances that seriously affected my daily life and ability to function. For months, I was treated for uveitis and surface issues, but my vision did not meaningfully improve. During that period, one of the associate doctors told me I had "buyer's remorse." That was deeply discouraging. I was not unhappy with a purchase; I was struggling with poor functional vision after surgery and looking for help. After roughly six months of ongoing symptoms, I had to seek out my own second opinions. Another ophthalmologist identified a possible mechanical issue with the lens, and an anterior segment specialist later diagnosed UGH syndrome due to a lens haptic rubbing my iris, causing pigment erosion, along with vitreous prolapse. I am now scheduled for corrective surgery. I understand that medicine can be complex, but I wish my symptoms had been taken more seriously, that lens positioning had been evaluated more aggressively, and that I had been referred out sooner when I was not improving. I am sharing this so other patients with persistent post-surgical symptoms know to keep advocating for themselves and seek another opinion if something does not feel right.

Originally, I was referred to a much larger statewide eye care facility/company, but I left that visit feeling uneasy. Everything felt rushed and I never felt like my questions were fully answered. After researching reviews for Dr. Krishnan and The Eye Institute, I asked my eye doctor for a referral there instead, and I'm very glad I did. The staff was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone took their time and made sure things were explained clearly. I never felt rushed during appointments or follow-ups. The team was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. Dr. Krishnan was the biggest reason the experience stood out. He answered every question and concern I had, explained his recommendations clearly, and never made me feel like I was just being moved through a schedule. The cataract procedure itself went smoothly and I've had zero issues afterward. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Krishnan for eye care.

Dr. Mertz sets his patients at ease. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, offers prevention advice, and has a very proficient practice. The paperwork that is shared with the patient is modern and easy to follow. The admin help visibly work off the options of the health insurance I am using. The low waiting times with the waiting room and exam room have been impressive versus what I read of elsewhere. The overall operation is set up to run efficiently, which is too rare in the healthcare industry. The waiting area is large, clean and well-kept. I would recommend this practice to family and friends.

I was waiting hours and hours in the waiting room of my previous family practitioner and it was becoming a burden. He was a wonderful physician but the wait time was just too much. Luckily I found Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi and was accepted as a new patient. That was about six months ago. Both my wife and I switched to Dr. Mertz. Dr. Mertz is fantastic. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, and has a very proficient practice. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Mertz several times since becoming his patients and every time we only spent five to ten minutes in the waiting room and only a couple minutes in the exam room before Dr. Mertz came in. I only wish I had found Dr. Mertz when I retired to Corpus Christi in 2005. My life would have been much better from a medical standpoint. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention his staff and the waiting area. His staff is wonderful in every regard. And the waiting area is large and clean. If you're considering Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi, don't hesitate to give them a call. And by all means as to be assigned to Dr. Mertz.
