My eyes are not getting better. Been on eye drops for 4 days. Afraid they are going to get worse,like before. Red and watery. Even been taking an allergy tablet. Help

You feel like a person. Like family
They are all very friendly and explain each eye test thoroughly Dr Nicholson was great very knowledgeable and answered all my questions Highly recommend
Staff was very pleasant, friendly and attentive. Answered all my questions. Dr. Laconte spent time explaining results of eye exam.
They were very nice and professional. The wait was a little long, but the actual meeting with the doctor was completed quickly and efficiently.
Very pleased with my experience with Fisher Swale Nicholson. Had cataracts removed with no complications.

Always a positive experience with the entire office . A professional and friendly staff and doctors.
Very well staffed, very polite people, very knowledgeable and explain in detail what options are.
They are nice to you they are being safe wearing masks they are polite I recommend them to other people that will be the only Eye Center I will go to
Was a horrible experience. Dr Swale done the first eye and wasn’t to bad. The second eye was done by Dr Franklin and was nothing like the first, painful and vision is poor. If I knew what was going to happen I would have went elsewhere. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.
Waited an hour after my scheduled appointment, had to ask someone why I had to wait so long , no one from the front came to me to let me know why nor did anyone try to show me a little courtesy by telling me something, …
Great clinic, staff was courteous, fast and friendly
Heather and Dr. Nicholson were simply outstanding in their cordiality, comprehensiveness, and accuracy in diagnosing shingles, thereby reversing a previous ER diagnosis. Their accuracy saved me from much suffering with shingles. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Friendly, thorough and efficient. Thanks!
I had ICL surgery here nearly three years ago. Dr. Swale and his staff took wonderful care of me when I needed them the most. I am happy to say that haven’t had any problems since I last saw them, and I would recommend Dr. Swale to anyone considering ICL surgery.
Excellent care. Friendly staff. Great outcomes. I am grateful for all that Fisher-Swale-Nicholson Eye Center has done for me over the years. Thank you!!
Excellent service great staff thank y’all Willie go
Poor communication and it was difficult to get an appointment.
Dr. Franklin and the staff are so professional and knowledgeable. Great place for eye care.
From the moment you walk in the door they make you feel welcome and valued. Great professional staff, friendly and knowledgeable, Wait time to be seen was about 5 or 10 minutes. Doctors gladly answer all questions and explain procedures.
I believe my son was one of Dr. Fisher’s first patients, and may have been one of his first surgeries back in 1983 or 1984. Our whole family (wife & I, and 4 sons) have been going to him since then. His office is very efficient in getting …
They were able to get me in in a timely matter. They were thorough and eased my fears of eye problems
I went in very afraid that my eyes were failing. After a very full exam with the girl I went in to see Dr. Nicholson. He asked if I had any concerns and listened to me. Then he gave me a thorough exam. He set and explained everything. Gave me a treatment plan
Very brief waiting time. Pre appointment preparation was completed professionally. Dr Nicholson was very thorough and did not push for new glasses with my slight change in one eye. New prescription was provided.
I really liked the doctor. Very nice and professional. I DIDN’T like that I went for a diabetic check up and they bill a refraction in which is not covered by my insurance under medical. I will not go back because of this practice that they have you sign consent for a 45 dollar eye exam.
If you’re looking for progressively commercialized, overbooked, need-4-appointments-an-eye service, and want to feel like a customer not a patient, choose this place. …
Fantastic experience.. the actual procedure on takes about 15 minutes!! I can see like I did when I was a young child!!! What a difference.. I am so happy I did this!! Great doctor,great people, great experience!!!Everyone involved was so …
Everyone is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable from the moment you walk in. Explained what they were doing & why on each test and procedure.
The competence of the doctors goes without question–they are the best. However, all (doctors and staff) are the friendliest and yet most professional people I have ever seen in a doctor’s office. Keep up the great work guys.
Every one and every “thing” connected with my experience at the Fisher-Swale-Nicholson Eye Center was outstanding. The location and parking are convenient. The facilities are spacious and comfortable. There is NO waiting to be greeted by …
As far as quality eye care goes, there isn’t a better place. My husband and I have come here for years, and have continued to do so even after moving to Mokena. My husband had cataract surgery in both eyes, which provided a perfect end …
Edited to add: The office contacted me to have me come back at another time for an additional exam. They were able to accommodate my schedule and do an appointment that would not require my child to miss school. This visit was much better …
Dr.Zielinski is always nice and never in a hurry to leave the room and answers all my questions. She is genuinely concerned about my eyes.
I had my second appointment with Dr. Zielinski and she was great. I did not wait long either.
I had a very short wait for my appointment. The people who examined my eyes were friendly and very considerate. They did not keep me waiting for results. I ordered my new lenses within a few minutes. Extremely pleasant experience.

Happy to be back with caring eye professionals who are willing to communicate and work with patients in pleasant surroundings.
I was treated very nicely, it was a good appointment.
Everyone was pleasant and professional. Even though this was only my second visit, when the Dr. came in I knew by everything that he said he reviewed all of my files that were sent to him after my first visit, which was 90 days prior to this visit.
Came in for dry eye issue. Positive experience from the moment I walked in until I left. …

Can’t say enough about Dr Swale. He is so courteous, professional and knowledgeable about my eye condition. I trust his professional care beyond measure! He’s one of the finest ophthalmologists I’ve …
I recently had the Visician ICL procedure and couldn’t be happier!
Valerie was very helpful explaining the different options I had and what to expect. …
Great, friendly staff and Dr. Nicholson is awesome!
Dr. Swale is very nice, professional confident and easy to talk to as well as his staff. I feel his advice, questions and answers was a big part of my decision to have cataract surgery with him which included follow up; it was very …

Both my husband and I have been to Fisher-Swale-Nicholson eye center, and have had great experiences! My husband in particular was having a lot of trouble with one of his eyes, and eye care offices he had been to previously misdiagnosed him …
Wait time is minimal. Employees are always busy taking the next patient or moving to dif room. Answer any questions you have. Dr was even nicer if that’s possible. Can’t wait for my procedure.
Very helpful ! Answered all our questions! The Dr Swales is very nice ! I highly recommend going to see him for your eye care and cataract surgery ! I am deaf and they all took the time to make sure I understand!!
I had a 1:00 appt. Didn’t get called back for 30 minutes for a room.
I have health issues and arrived at FSN hurting, (and wanted to reschedule if FSN was running late), I was very direct to the very nice and professional technician, she overlooked my directness and completed my exam in a timely manner. I …
Very thorough eye exams. Concern for their patients. During Covid, they have been extremely careful with cleaning, masking, screening questions… the wonderful ladies in the optical department have been replacing a lens in an old pair of …
Dr. Zielinski is always kind and has been an enormous help with my eye problems.
Fisher-Swale-Nicholson is the BEST! It is always pleasant there and when I went to my appointment yesterday for my annual check up – It was amazing! Dr. Nicholson gave me very detailed; Brianna was so kind and professional; Nancy checked …
I owe my excellent vision to Dr Nicholson and Dr Swale. They and their staff have been treating me since about 2002 and I couldn’t be happier.
The people in the office when you check in are soooo nice. And the lady that took me to do the tests on my eye was sooooo understanding when she would ask me to do something and my eye did what it wanted. The doctor was AMAZING. She talked …
My experience at Fisher, Swale, Nicholson was excellent as usual. I expect nothing less. They run a well organized office beginning from intake, at the receptionists desk, all the way thru testing and evaluation by the doctor. Staff are courteous and well trained in their positions. Thank you.

The staff was great. The tech was amazing and very thorough. She was able to move me to my doctor quickly to check my eyes. Left feeling relieved the problem was fixable. I trust Dr. Nicholson very much.
Everyone was professional and nice. Explained things. We had a wait to be called back. But after that it all went smooth.
I have been going here ever since I first needed glasses exactly 20 years ago. The service is great, the pricing is reasonable. They don’t just help you deal with eye problems you have, but they also give advice on how to prevent future issues. There is no reason to go anywhere else.
Everyone was very helpful. I always enjoy my time with Dr Nicholson. He spends the time you need and is always friendly
Very organized office.my appointment was on time, during my exam the tech was polite and efficient. The dr was also polite and answered all of my issues with my eyes.

All staff are very professional and very welcoming
Dr Zelinski has exceptionally confidence building demeanor.
Her caring and expertise are extraordinary and much appreciated.!
I was having an eye problem on a Friday afternoon. The staff got me in promptly that afternoon and took very good care of me! Very professional and caring staff. Dr. Nicholson is great!
Wonderful experience. Felt like a very great exam. Doctor answered all my questions
Very grateful for these experts. They saw the retinal detachment immediately and sent me same day to a retinal specialist. The office/front office handled a lot that day, I couldn’t see well. Thank you. They also have a dry eye clinic that is helping at the moment.
Even though the office was busy, everything ran smoothly. Tech was very professional and polite. Doctor was very understanding of what my current and near future needs. Thank you.
I was very impressed with MARIE as she tested me before the meeting with the doctor. She was very friendly and at the same time very professional. MARIE was confident in what she was doing and very considerate of the patient. MARIE was excellent! I had never met her before and feel as if if I have a new friend. – Carol Watson
Everyone is so nice and the way they do things are great but one thing is the waiting time . Maybe they had sone emergencies I’m not sure but the last visit we waited over an hour but then didn’t get done for almost 2 hours. But to see the best doctors we will wait because they are top notch. Dr Nicholson is the best!
Dr. Nicholson impressed me very much. His knowledge and willingness to explain my son’s eye condition is very much appreciated. He definitely knows his field as an ophthalmologist! My son is doing much better. Staff is very friendly and wait time is very minimal. Thank you ALL for your kindness and compassion .
The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Nicholson is caring, professional and very informative. Ashley was my technician. She was great. All the technicians I have had in the past have been great. They are knowledgeable and patient. It is always a great experience when I have an exam.
My annual vision check went smoothly, despite a large number of other patients. Everything is well organized with attention to detail and emphasis on safety. I felt very comfortable and the entire process went well. Dr. Nicholson answered all of my questions thoroughly and I was pleased with the information, both verbal and written.
