Great person, doctor and surgeon! We took our adult son to "Dr. K" after being referred by our…read moreregular optometrist, Dr. Lauer (whom I also highly recommend). Our now 35 year old who was born very premature (27 weeks) in 1987 developed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) as an infant, and after two surgeries, was left completely blind in one eye (retina detached) and very near sighted vision in the other. At 35 he developed a very dense cataract on his "good eye," which we found out is not uncommon for people who suffered with ROP as an infant. Dr. Lauer spoke extremely highly of Dr. K (even though they had never met) saying that Dr. K's qualifications are off the charts, he has a reputation of a highly successful and skilled surgeon, and he spends time getting to know his patients and is very personable. This was SO important to us because our son is slightly disabled and has a difficult time communicating, and with only one eye to begin with, we wanted the most qualified and experienced surgeon available. Dr. K was everything we had heard he was and more. His staff was very nice and professional, and Dr. K spent a LOT of time with us, explaining everything in great detail in language we could understand, and assuring us that he felt very confident that not only could the cataract be safely removed and replaced with an artificial lens, but our son would likely have greatly improved vision over what he had before. Dr K also took every precaution -- sending us to a retina specialist for a second opinion on surgery, and having secondary pre-op appointments, double and triple checking measurements/pressure/etc. The surgery was a breeze -- twenty minutes--and the results life changing. Our son does not even need glasses anymore, and he is thrilled about that, and can see better than he ever has. Throughout the process (several months) we continued to be impressed with how optimistic and positive Dr. K was, and to find that he is a Christian who prays to God before every surgery. He has our highest recommendation!

Dr K and his staff treated me like family and were as excited as I was! He is kind, caring and compassionate! He made me feel comfortable and at ease! I would recommend seeing him! He will change your world! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Each staff member was friendly and helpful, and Dr. Young was kind and professional. My surgery was two days ago -- easy and painless, and less than two hours from walking in to walking out. The result was immediate. I was almost blind in my left eye, and now it has 20/20 vision both near and far. The whole experience was incredible! Thank you!

I like the doctors and the nurses/assistants are all great as well but I don't like having to pay a…read morerefraction charge of $40 which insurance doesn't cover and never has and if one goes to an optometrist for a script there is not a refraction charge. I declined the script as the doctor said there was only a 5% change in vision and my current glasses are working well and when I declined a script at past ophthalmologist's office there was no refraction charge and yet this office still insists the charge is valid. If valid then why doesn't insurance ever pay? If it were medically necessary then I would think insurance would have to pay. And why don't optometrists charge for such? And why not give the choice to the patient up front if they want refraction or not? If it were just the doctors and nurses/assistants I would give them a 5 star rating but because of the billing practice I want to give it a 2 or 3 star rating but will relent and give overall as 4 stars.

Then the school doctor refers me to an eye specialist in Eye Trends. The place is nice. The doctor and the staff here are friendly and polite, they give me a professional check and well explain my pathogen. And my school insurance covers most of the fee, it is affordable.
