  1. I am extremely happy that I can read and enjoy not wearing glasses. It was an extremely stressful process. The procedures and follow ups were not communicated well. The communication between the techs, doctors and myself were not always …

  2. The receptionist are horrible! They don’t tell you what you need to do to prepare for any service. I don’t care for the doctors too much either. Some are very arrogant!

  3. Excellent place to go for Cataract evaluation and surgical procedure! The staff is awesome !!! Definitely the place to go……in Fort Wayne on West Jefferson Blvd, SW Allen County….

  4. Brought my mother down to have surgery on her eyes. Appointment time was at 11:40am and were are still here at 5:36pm. This is rediculous to make us wait this long, to only see a Dr for 5 mins. Will not be back to this place!!

  5. THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE I HAVE EVERY LARGE VEINS WAS STUCK 5 TIME OR MORE IN ONE ARM BODY BROKE OUT IN HIVES (THEY TRY TO DENT (ANOTHER DOC SAID IT CAME FROM ANESTHESIA) FIRST EYE SURGERY 630 WAS SCHEDULE SAME DAY AT MIDWEST 330 WAS TOLD THE …

  6. I practiced optometry for 45 years and enjoyed the opportunity to refer my patients to CLI for comprehensive secondary and tertiary ophthalmic care. The doctors of CLI are among the finest anywhere in America. The extremely busy practice of …

  7. What a wonderful experience from reception thru all professional medical personnel I encountered throughout each of my visits. Very informative and caring with excellent customer service skills. Would highly recommend for anyone considering surgery!

  8. I had a very easy laser surgery for cataract. I was scared to have it done, but they do give you something to calm you way down. I had no pain, I was just VERY relaxed. It only takes about 10 to 15 min and I was done. I did NOT see when …

  9. This is a special comment for Ashley at the Fort Wayne, Indiana Institute. Ashley is an outstanding person, cares deeply for her patients and has an enthusiastic attitude beyond memorable. Promote at first opportunity! Oh, and by the way, Dr. Dewitt is quite sharp – like a tack!

  10. I had an medical issue with my eye and was brought into the office quickly. The doctor and staff were very kind and provided excellent care both in resolving the problem and a follow up treatment plan. Thank you.

  11. The staff is very friendly. That is about the only good thing. I feel your treated like cattle and you are hearded all the way through. They overbook. You wait for HOURS for a simple recheck. The waiting room is absolutely FULL. Didn’t have a seat available for a while. Plan on wasting half you day away.

  12. Cataract and Laser Institute is a great place to work! The doctors and staff focus on excellent patient care. I enjoy working with the patients and seeing how happy they are after treatment!

  13. A specialist sent me to the institute to remove floaters. After testing on my eyes were started, someone walked in and said that my file was sitting on someone’s desk desk. They forgot a get a precertification from the insurance company. …

  14. I am surprised at negative reviews about wait time. They make it very clear that there are long wait times. I am very happy with my experience with them. Doctors are wonderful staff also went above and beyond. I am grateful for the great care.

  15. My experience on yesterday was much more than I expected..I was so nervous but the first person that helped me eased all my fears.
    Dr. Hughes explained to me the procedure in my consultation and again before the …

  16. I feel that I had a very good experience. I am 89 years old and didn’t always understand the instructions they gave me, but they were kind and patient with me. I developed film on the lens in both eyes after six months and needed more help and patience. I appreciated everyone and the help they gave me so much.

  17. Wow! What an experience! Thanks to Rissa, Dr. DeWitt, and Dr. Hughes for making it less stressful. I have been like Mr. Magoo my entire life. Loving clear and focused vision!

  18. This is an amazing practice! From the moment you step into the lobby you are treated with caring and compassion. The level of professionalism is off the charts. Dr. Hughes is a skilled eye surgeon. Dr. DeWitt is patient, caring and …

  19. I dropped my mom off for eye surgery. The receptionist Crystal is very rude to customers. She changed her tune after i said she was rude. I shouldn’t have 2 remind your workers that they should be nice to customers & treat them with respect. If i ever have cataract surgery on my eyes. I definitely won’t be coming here.

  20. Horrible experience!! Wait times are ridiculous, the technician, I believe was named Ashley was in a huge rush and very rude raising her voice with every command. I’d rather keep my horrible half blind vision than visit this place ever …

  21. I had my cataract surgery 2 1/2 years ago, as it was recommended by my long time eye doctor. I knew going in that my vision would not be much improved but all I got out of this was a depleted HSA and SEVERE DRY eye. The Doctor, although …

  22. I was very nervous about having cataract surgery but the office staff and doctors put me at ease. And even though they were very busy they were very kind and patient with me. The surgery on my right eye went so well that I wasn’t concerned at all when it was time to do the left eye. I would highly recommend Cataract & Laser Institute!

  23. THIS PLACE IS GREAT! I had cataract surgery on my right eye a week ago. It went great. The initial appointment was 1 and one half hour with both eyes dialated. The surgery was a week later. It was in the door and out in three hours, …

  24. The Cataract and Laser Institute in Fort Wayne was amazing. The day I went in for my first eye I was scared to death and they were all so kind and made me feel better about the whole procedure. Dr. long did a great job with both my eyes. …

  25. Ashley was my tech. She was exceptionally professional, comforting, answered my questions and concerns. All of the staff was friendly and I feel confident about my upcoming cataract surgeries.

  26. Unpleasant experience at best. At the initial appointment my husband was being tested by someone inexperienced. The Tech touched his eyes without gloves then typing on his keyboard. My husband contracted a serious double eye infection …

  27. I had a 1:40 p.m. appointment and 3 hours later I was seen. The Yag procedure takes a minute to perform. Very simple. After finally getting called back and waiting another 30 mintues, my name was called only to find out they didn’t have my …

  28. While I am happy with the results of the surgery on my eyes, I am not very happy with the way I was treated. Got a phone call from someone giving me the wrong time for my appointment. You wait hours and they want you to come in an hour …

  29. Absolutely ridiculous. My elderly father took the day off work, came in 30 minutes early ( after somebody called to ask him to ) and sat waiting for 2 hours before he finally left. …

  30. My husband had an appointment on Thursday 1.6.22 to have film removed from his past carteract surgery on his left eye. Procedure called Yag Laser Capsulotomy. Came out of it with flying colors. Very glad he had it done and when his right …

  31. First cataract surgery went fine. 2nd one, not so much. Had me come in a half hr earlier, only to wait over 3 hrs to be called back. Told the anesthesiologist, like my dr told me to, that the anesthesia the first time didn’t kick in until a …

  32. Great experience. Had first cataract surgery done about 4 years ago. Had to have cataracts removed second time,by laser. Easy, fast, everyone was great! Follow-up appointments just as personable, fast, thorough. Great service both times. Would definitely recommend them!

  33. Great experience EXCEPT they were not forthright about their pricing. You will pay what they quote PLUS $780 for anesthesiology. Again, they will not tell you about this, but here’s your warning. Honesty and transparency go a long way. I would have had the surgery either way, but would have appreciated not having been blindsided.

  34. I have recently had cataract surgery at the Cataract & Laser Institute in Fort Wayne. One of the first people who cared for me was Ashley. When you are planning surgery on your eyes, you are apprehensive and fearful in many ways. But she …

  35. I have had to wear glasses since I was 5-6 years old and I had my right eye surgery last week and I have NOT had to wear my glasses. I’m here today to have my left eye done and then I’ll just need reading glasses. Thank you to all of you for my wonderful early Christmas gift of sight back. I will recommend you to anyone I meet.

  36. Waiting time is just unacceptable!!! They make you come in way too early before your appt time. The check is awkward. You check in at the front then wait an hour, go to another window to basically do the same thing over except they have you …

  37. I drove my elderly friend an hour one way to her appointment only to be told it was rescheduled in a month because anesthesiologist went home early. Was told they attempted to call her day before with busy signal but elderly friend was home …

  38. I came to the institute yesterday for a cataract surgery consultation. Prior to arrival, I was told to expect it to take three hours. When all was said and done, it took, three hours. Kudos for setting appropriate expectations and keeping …

  39. This is a very busy place but it is amazing to see the excellent care that my husband received here. We are very pleased with the outcome and the quality of care. The doctors are excellent and very patient in answering questions. The …

  40. This little lady is sooo very happy with my “new” eyes! I see individual leaves on the tops of the trees. Most importantly, I can now see my husband’s face from across the room! No discomfort at all. thank you to Jill and all of the others …

  41. After not being able to wear a contact to see in one eye for two weeks the day before cataract surgery this place called to inform us my lense did not come in! Two more weeks being blind before getting in. Keep in mind the lense that “did …

  42. I had the most wonderful pre-op team of nurses: Mary, Lisa, and Becky. Any anxiety I initially had went away with their care. I can only hope they’ll be on deck for my next procedure! Thank you!

  43. The staff is great, the wait time was what they said. The only 3 things I wished was different: 1. I got the regular cataract surgery with the lens for my farsightedness being corrected. Only time I heard for farsightedness lens being …

  44. Extremely great experience in having 2 cateract surgery’s. . Very good at explaining the steps in the process from beginning to end. Easy process for getting all your appointments. From what choices are on coverage of your insurance will …
