  1. (Translated by Google) Terrible treatment, long waiting time even with an appointment, the exam is not with a computer so unfortunately it is not exact, NOT RECOMMENDED! …

  2. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Dr. M, I really appreciate your compassion, patience, tenacity toward me❤️I cannot recall the exact date but it was definitely before Thanksgiving 2022, that I have been struggling to see, which of course …

  3. I give them a one because the wait time is horrible. My husband appointment was at 12:20. He didn’t get out of there until 4:33. This isn’t the first time he got out of there late. Other times longer. Why make appointments if you won’t see …

  4. My Dr is professional and very efficient. Great experience however the waiting period for a scheduled appointment is too long. Everyone’s time should be respected. If it’s an hour delay call me tell me. I don’t want to wait in your waiting room.

  5. The receptionist very pleasant and polite. Doctor Singh and her staff very pleasant and respectful of their patients they respected me as a person first and then as a patient. Great Service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

  6. I don’t understand if they close at 4:30 and you call them at 3:30 to see if they got your glasses since it past 6 weeks but they don’t pick up and you been hold for more then 20 min have the education at least answer and say it’s friday and we don’t want to answer you😡 …

  7. Very rude and only care about the money! They do not care about their customers, doctor client relationship. Don’t make me laugh!!! Do not go there!!

  8. We had problems with little details my father in law its for them they don’t now how to write and speak English, they didn’t let me be there intrepid .and they didn’t get eyeglass they where going be like 2 or 10 months I can be lived but everything else 👌 …

  9. They completely wasted 2 hours of my time because of their lack of knowledge. One person said one thing. The doctor said another, as a result I was left waiting for 2 hours unnecessarily.

  10. The young lady that put the eye drops in my eyes was very patient and very considerate and overall it was a great experience I would recommend this eye center for all my friends and family

  11. I have been going to Midwest Eye Center for over 20 some years. Just the best !! I now drive from Michigan back to IL every six months for a checkup for both me and my husband.

  12. I was on hold for 5 minutes first and then the lady picked up and said one minute. Then someone else immediately picked up and then hung up. So I called back, I have been on hold for 15 minutes (not including the first 5) and still waiting.

  13. The receptionist is not the most pleasant or patient person. I called to schedule an appointment and she was acting as though I was getting on her nerves. She gave me an appointment for a particular day but due to a scheduling conflict, I asked her if I could have another date. Boy…what did I do that for…talk about rude.

  14. Thank yu so much,I been wit Midwest 4 5 Years Dr.Koutnik I love his serives sooooo much,I really appreciate him every time I come over there it’s like

  19. It’s always pleasant. It’s a nice environment. The staff are always nice and respectful. Very quick even with everything going on it’s still pretty quick. I highly recommend them

  20. Sat on hold for for over 20 minutes with music playing and a message that kept saying we are experiencing high call volume someone will be with you momentarily. Then I got disconnected at 3:55pm. Called right back and the phones were put on service.

  21. I went to pick up my glasses at 4:00 PM on Friday the 23rd and they were closed. Even though they are supposed to be open until 4:30 on M-F. Then today (Saturday) I was headed to pick the glasses up and they’re closed early AGAIN. Online it …

  22. The place was great and I’m an illinois Medicade holder and they were great and very helpful. The staff were very nice and willing to help. The doctors are great to fix your vision.

  23. The receptionist was polite and professional and the young lady that gave me my examine was professional, polite, informative and explained everything she was doing, she made me feel very comfortable I give her a 10 …

  24. Front office staff are incompetent & lazy. Not knowledgeable about eye insurance & what’s covered and what’s not; making patients pay out of pocket unnecessarily, because they don’t check out your coverage before you see the optometrist. Horrible customer service.

  25. They treated the bleeding in my eye as and emergency situation. Illinois Retina Association in Harvey at the Ingalls Professional Building wanted me to wait ONE MONTH to come in for the surgery I had yesterday. Thank you Midwest

  26. We receive messages to remind the appointment and the fine for not showing up etc. we were not informed though that appointment was cancelled and again for the delay.

  27. Great experience, the doctor was pleasant, the lady that helped me order my glasses is great, she also helped me with my previous pair and she explains everything and helps break down my coverage. I would recommend.

  28. Enjoyed the experience both my assistant, which made the tests pleasant with professionalism and great attitude. The same is true for my doctor which explained what I needed to know and how to approach the treatment. Thanks!

  29. Took my children there today for 11 am appointment waited 45 minutes went to ask why they stated it’s a 2-3 hour wait. Had to cancel not sure who will wait 2-3 hours for a vision exam. Very unprofessional and should’ve been told when I checked in, wasted 45 minutes with children.

  30. Staff was pleasant. Did not have to wait long to get checked in. Medical staff is top notch. Explained procedures and medical results so that I understood what was going on and what my diagnosis was.

  31. The people were very friendly and professional the place was very clean the Doctor was very formal and took his time to explain to my mother the results of her exams. I will recommend all my family and friends there!!!!

  32. Currently in the waiting area with my elderly mother for the past 55 minutes and she still hasn’t been seen. The receptionist said it’s very busy on Saturday. They truly need to schedule better than this. This is unbelievable. I’m never coming back.

  33. This place is horrible my mom was suppose to have surgery months ago. I understand that Covid-19 happen, but here we are in October & they have cancelled her appt for the 7th time & told her just Oct 2nd 2020 she should find another doctor! …

  34. I have been calling The Optical Department for days and haven’t have any of the staff answer my calls nor could I leave a voicemail. Just left from up there after calling multiple times and seeing someone on at a desk at 4:10 pm and being …

  35. Really bothered at the way the lady in the optical department talked to me. I was told my eye classes would be ready July 9 two weeks after my eye appt. Cool , go back on the 9th they tell me sorry your glasses aren’t here. No sweat just …

  36. Very professional and efficient. The staff was excellent and explained
    everything to me. I was very impressed with how fast I was processed
    for my upcoming cateract surgery. Thank you to all!

  37. I first came here on July 15 as a referral from another eye specialist to check and see if I have glaucoma. The Dr, Dr. Donthamsetti took a look at my eyes and said that I didn’t have glaucoma. But anyways, Dr.Donthamsetti was awesome. He …

  38. They were very polite fast service and the doctor I saw dr sonty is very knowledgeable I was pleased with him as well. I am more than grateful they got me in especially in emergency situation.

  39. 2 yrs ago I reviewed this place and gave it 4 stars. I loved the physician Dr Albright and her beautiful patient physician repore. She has since left the practice and it has been horrible experiences since. Pt’s are given appointments two …

  40. Midwest Eye Center has been my eye care center for 12 years. They are always professional and observe your scheduled appointment. You are never waiting more than 15, tops 20 minutes beyond your appointment time. My first optometrist retired and now I have another great optometrist with Dr. Cavender.

  41. The staff is terrible. Been trying to get paperwork filled out by the doctor for a procedure I had here for 2 weeks. 1st they said it wasn’t here, but had been here for 3 days, 2nd they charged me $20 to fill it out and it will take 10 …

  42. Ms. Danielle that handled my prescreening was really personable and informative. Some of my issues I’d been having off and on are things I need to pay attention to….She really helped me to understand what I osneed to do and also gave me …

  43. I went to visit Midwest I center on a reserve from my doctor. When I made the appointment they emphasize being on time that’s very important to them. After arriving there on time I understood they are Very busy. They were very professional they got me in-and-out in a timely manner something that I appreciate.

  44. Staff was friendly, courteous, and accommodating. I appreciated that all observed, & followed Covid guidelines upon entry & during exam. Dr Koutnik was friendly and professional. He explained my exam process & diagnosis. My overall experience was very favorable.

  45. I had an eye appointment last month. Getting the eye exam was fine, when I went downstairs to pick out frames and place my order was fine too. But they said due to my insurance I had to wait 4-6 weeks…crazy right! I called my insurance …

  46. I have been a pt. of Dr Ahmad for 43 years. He is a fantastic person and Dr. He is kind, gentle, soft spoken and I believe, the best in his field. He is patient and answers all questions. His exams are the most thorough. He built his own …

  47. This place is HORRIBLE almost all the appointments that were scheduled for my husband was rescheduled. RIDICULOUS that you have your patients to reschedule there appointments and have them sitting for at least an hour. They have to get better with this sad customer service.

  48. The Doctors are great. The administrative staff is unprofessional, unmotivated, unresponsive and disrespectful. They are absolutely horrible at mail order prescription refills. I have been trying to get my prescription filled since …

  49. They don’t get any stars from me!!!! It won’t allow you to post without giving at least one star. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Very unprofessional from the first point of contact. When I called to make the …

  50. The Drs and staff are very nice. My only complaint is punctuality. My very first time there I was put in a room for 3 hrs before I saw a Dr.

  51. I am very happy to have established care with a leading ophthalmologist. Excellent eye care is so important. I had a good experience and believe I have found an expert caring team who delivers high quality service. This is a good Christmas gift for me!

  52. I went there as a patient of Dr. Ahmad for 30 years. I was used to get exam and script for new glasses. With his retirement I made an appointment and got the new optomologist as I requested one to replace Dr. Ahmad. I said I wanted also …

  53. This is the first time I’ve been to an appointment and was seen on time. Normally you’ll have to wait up to 30 mins. This wasn’t the case. The ophthalmologist came and got me herself to ensure I got in and out. And her team worked around as well. I love the the service that was provide from the whole team!

  54. When I visited a week and a half ago, I was advised I couldn’t have anyone upstairs with me although I would be dilated. I couldn’t see the last time I had dilation which is why someone accompanied me. The doctor’s office could’ve advised …

  55. Except for being unable to accommodate seating in the lobby for my disabled daughter who had an appointment, staff and Dr.Domthamsetti were exceptional. I appreciate their professional and pleasant attitudes. They’re great.

  56. Experience was amazing!
    Everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Kelly in optical was absolutely the best! Just amazing working with her! Look forward to years of good vision!

  57. I was checked in safely and seen in a timely manner. Page was in training and she did get job effectively. If she hadn’t told me she was in training I wouldn’t have known it. Dr. Cavender was thorough, knowledgeable, and answered my …

  60. I was pleased overall with my eye exam. However, I was required to go one floor down to their optical department to obtain a copy of my prescription. Optical closes at 4:30pm and I left the front desk at 4:28pm. The person at the front desk …

  61. Kind and polite staff. Quick and efficient. Hand sanitizer was easily available. There was good social distancing and we were greeted well and a temperature check followed after. The doctor was very kind. Would recommend this place.

  62. When I got there for my appointment I was told that someone canceled it a few days ago…uhmmmm, that wasnt me and the 2 ladies @ the desk had no idea who either. Then, one of them pointed out after checking the computer that the other one …

  63. Environment was clean and felt safe. Good indoor lighting. Nice and friendly staff. Dr. D was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He gave us a detailed and clear assessments of my patient’s eye condition. We were all pleased with the service.

  64. This was my first time in years to get tested for my eyes and I was a little nervous. However, the young African American assistant was very nice and took her time. I appreciate that. The doctor also was kind, patient and very knowledgeable and it helped that he was cute!! Lol

  65. I would like to give no stars, however, the 2 stars are only because the staff is nice. One thing I don’t appreciate is time wasted. If I make an appointment I expect the office to be on time and ready. Twice in a row now, I’ve had to wait …

  66. The staff and doctors are great. I felt comfortable and safe. . The downside is the wait time. It horrible. Be prepared for long wait. They are always behind schedule. Average wait time is about 2 hours. Arriving early makes the wait longer.

  67. The doctor and staff was very professional and nice. I’ve lived in that area for 17 years and had no idea this eye clinic was there. But I definitely give them a thumbs up. The facility’s was clean and complied to all COVID-19 restrictions.

  68. My father had two cataract surgeries at this facility. The clinical care was good; they were kind. However, the front operations was inefficient. My father didn’t receive a call the night prior to his last surgery to review pre-operation …

  69. The staff and nurses are so helpful and nice and my doctor inparticular is friendly and very thorough. I loved Nurse Lisa she did all my test and made them so easy. They keep you with the same doctor so nothing gets missed.

  76. Just got off the phone with a very rude receptionist. I didn’t even wanna make a appointment after speaking with her. If you hate your job you shouldn’t be answering the phone.

  77. Their receptionists don’t care about customer service and they are rude. It is hard to get someone on the line and then when you go in it is worse especially on Saturdays. The doctors are the best. Unfortunately , you have to deal with the staff.

  78. I received wonderful friendly professional customer service from everyone. From the beginning to the end of my appointment. The doctor was attentive and actually “LISTENED” to me as a patient to provide a good medical care plan.😊 …

  79. Midwest Eye Ctr has the BEST employees, from the counter check-in staff to the nurses behind the scenes all the way to the best eye dr I’ve ever had since 2nd grade. I’m over 63 now and Dr. Koutnik has helped me immensely. I’d recommend everyone to come here.

  81. This is another hidden gem, great customer relations with the whole staff, which is hard to find nowadays. Doctors handle thier work load like the professional medical care should. I was vary empress.

  82. I wasn’t seen but my son and mom were. We arrived early and still had to wait for a long time neither one was seen on time . It seems as though too many people are scheduled at once .Also the women in the eye glass section were alittle rude and didn’t appear to know how to handle my sons situation he was in with his damaged glasses.

  83. 6 appointments wrong locations, doctors calling in sick, the staff has no idea what’s going on. My wife has been trying to get an appointment for months they either cancel or make up an excuse. So for causing her pain, turmoil , time off of …
