Terrible, rude, so bad
The very best!!
Not professional and unorganized
Always a good experience.
Great office and caring staff.
Exceptional MD’S CARING AND VERY QUALIFIED!
Extremely rude on the phone and treated me like I don’t know anything.
Wonderful doctor, wonderful care, wonderful staff.
Great staff, quick and efficient. Love the doctors
All employees at Columbus Ophthalmology are helpful and considerate.
Long wait both during cataract procedure and every appointment took long.
All was well except a better coordination clarification for instruction for instill eye drops.
Listened to what I had to say and spent enough time to clear up my issues, thank you Dr. Burns
the OPTICAL CENTER is total joke everytime I order contact lens they ALWAYS send me the wrong ones.
Dr Hickey is very nice to work with and the staff is really friendly.
I am always very satisfied with my visits to Dr. McHale and would recommend him to friends.
For me, COA is trustworthy. There are great doctors and staff, appointment times are reasonable.
Have been coming to this practice for over a decade. Always very professional, listens to your concerns.
Somehow or other COA dropped me from its database and stopped sending me appointment reminders. Don’t have to worry about that anymore because I just changed providers.
I went for check up on last Friday. Dr. Mc Hale was very good and kind to me. Satisfied with the check up
I’ve been Dr. Derick’s patient for 15 years plus. He and his staff are the best. I’m truly blessed to work with COA.
Fantastic service. The optician at the Dublin office (Tiffany) was most skilled, careful, and conscientious. What a great experience.
I always get the best care at Columbus Ophthalmology! Each worker there knows what their job is and my visit runs very smoothly.
Great experience! Worked with Dr. Burns, the young lady doing her residency, and Kortney – these were all awesome encounters!
Extremely happy with Dr. Mchale the staffs at both COA locations and the outcome of my procedure…..Will and have recommended to anyone in need of the procedures they do so well and professionally!
Appointment time was given @7:00 AM. The scheduler instructed us to come at 6:45 AM. We also received a reminder to be there by 6:45 AM. We were there at 6:40 AM. …
Staff and Doctors are always friendly and professional and willing to work with you if there is an urgent need to a Dr. Thank you for always being a great provider! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
Dr. Burns was amazing! Came in with a very painful eye issue, and he and his staff were quick to help and so nice!
Horrible wait time.. took 3:30 hrs for my eye checkup. 2:30 hrs was just sitting idle. very worst in time management.
The knowledge and experience of the nurse and doctor are great. But.. sitting 2hrs just idle is horrible.
I have recently gone through a cataract surgery, I was given was a bill before surgery after running my insurance and I paid it whatever they asked. After few weeks I got multiple bills from same office and anesthesiologists office to pay …
My experience with Columbus Ophthalmology is the best, all of the staff included.
My cataract and cornea replacement surgeon Dr. Thomas Litzinger is the best surgeon and a very nice man.
Dr. Burns was terrific, took his time, and was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend him for your ophthalmologic care!
The staff is helpful, caring and friendly. The surgery center was outstanding. My only confusion/complaint is having to pay $30.00 copay for a follow up to the surgery…never had to do that before.
Dr. McHale was wonderful to work with and the cataract surgeries I had were very professionally done. What a remarkable improvement. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. McHale.
I have been a patient of Dr. Hickey’s for many years. As always it was a positive experience. Everyone I’ve had an interaction with are always professional and provide excellent customer service.
I had great care for an eye ulcer from Dr. Mulhurn,, would give her high marks. However, I had uncontrollable pain later that night and paged the on call DR and unfortunately got Dr. McHale. Wow. Talk about a lack of care and compassion. …
It was not Gail but her husband George. I have been seeing Dr. Hickey for years and find your office in Grove City not only convenient but of the highest quality of service. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I took my 2yr old to see Dr Bloom. He was fine…seemed in a rush but apart from that was ok. the nurse or assistant i saw that day was sweet and caring. the lady who helped us choose a frame was also sweet. the rest of the staff seemed …
Avoid! I was referred here for a follow up on a shadow on my optical nerve that I have been tracking for years. My 7:30am appointment is now on it’s 2nd hr. after already seeing 2 techs and sitting in 3 waiting rooms. The techs want to keep …
Will never go back. Second year appt today for new extended wear contacts. I was told that they do not make any contacts for astigmatism that can be worn overnight (even though they sold me some last year but now claim that they told me …
Dr. James McHale is the best. His ophthalmology skills are outstanding, he cares about his patients, and it is always a pleasure working with him. COA is also equipped with the latest technology to address, diagnose, and treat most any eye condition.
Dr. Burns is wonderful. He makes sure to address your concerns and really listens, and he’s very friendly on top of that. I’m happy with my visit and relieved he has my back.
Dr. Mc Hale has been my ophthalmologist for several years. I have nothing negative to say about him or his staff. I have recommended him to friends and we all share 100% confidence and trust in Dr. Mc Hale.
I am always confident that I am getting the best care at COA. I think Dr. Orlando is such a gifted surgeon and I am so sorry he will be retiring but happy that after saving the sight of thousands in a long career, that he can now enjoy his family and devote time to his art and pleasant pastimes. Good luck and long health, Dr. Orlando!
I am very pleased with my experience at Columbus Ophthalmology Associates. The doctors are top notch and absolute experts in their field. The service is efficient and the staff is very kind and caring. I have always felt that I am in the …
I was very pleased with my experience with Dr McHale and his office staff. I had excellent results from my cataract extractions and healing was quick. Office visits were occasionally long
I recently underwent cataract surgery by Dr. James McHale of Columbus Opthalmology Assoc. I highly recommend Dr. McHale and the wonderful staff of Cols. Opthalmology for their service, efficiency, timeliness, and friendliness. My …
Got lasik here- was super satisfied with my care from Dr.Litzinger- he was excellent and professional and I’d highly recommend. I do agree with many other reviews and the complaints about the office being slow and patients doing a lot of waiting around. Most of my lasik follow up appointments took longer than expected.
I recently had cataract surgery, Dr McHale and all his staff at the surgery center and office are top notch. Such kindess, concern and caring was fantastic and I am grateful to have found him.
an excellent place for eye care, the staff and doctors are just great people both friendly and knowable . they have done great for my wife . if I didn’t have VA then I would be there too. keep up the great work and did I say that they have great hours of operations making it easy to get in when you want
I made an appointment to get my yearly exam and for contacts. I had my exam and was dilated. Dr Hickey spent about 5 mins with me (after waiting 2 hours to see him) and when my appointment was done, I asked for my contact prescription. I …
Dr McHale and your team are awesome! Wish all my doctors were as articulate and personable as you are. Thank you so much!!
I’m never disappointed when I visit this office! It’s efficient, courteous and welcoming from start to finish! Their newly remodeled reception area is a bonus too. Of course then there is Dr. Hickey, who not only is a top notch doctor but always makes me smile! What a kind, knowledgeable & witty man he is!
Plan on being seen 45-60 minutes after your appointment time. No one seems to be able to navigate the relationship between the surgery center, billing, insurance, ect. A lot of people saying “that’s another group”.
From the moment you step off the elevator you are taken aback by the impressive remodel then greeted by a friendly & professional staff member at the reception desk. My visits to COA have all been very enjoyable experiences. I really …
Outstanding treatment at Columbus Ophthalmology Associates!
Dr Orlando is a true expert at replacing the lens in my eyes, Amazing procedure with vivid color improvement, quick healing. 6 stars!!! Entire Staff is attentive and spectacular. Very Happy with the entire experience.
I was here about a year ago, overall experience wasn’t great, the doctor was kind of rude and told me that I didn’t need to come every year because my prescription wasn’t strong enough. The optician was really sweet and made picking out new …
From first appointment to most current, all the staff was professional, helpful and caring. Dr. Orlando was my doctor and my surgeon (cataract) and was extremely nice and caring. If I were to have further issues I would return to COA!
Been working with this group for many years. I had a major accident in 2009 and they were the “on call” eye doctor at the hospital. Since I was a patient already, they recommended a stop there the next day to get the tests that I needed. …
I have been going to Dr. McHale for a number of years. Just this past week I had cataract surgery. To be honest – I was very anxious. However, I discovered quickly that it was unnecessary. The process at their surgical center on the …
The scheduling woman was extremely rude and sarcastic to the point that I just cancelled the appointment. If you have the patience for the self-righteously ignorant, you’re welcome to it.
My husband had his glasses shipped to the broad st office from the office in Dublin because when we called to make an appointment as new patients they scheduled us in Dublin despite specifying the Broad location (we only live down the road) …
My experience has been okay so far. The last doctor I saw was very nice and helped tons with my watery eye issue. However, my review is not on the doctor it’s on a staff member named Kim. She is rude and will speak over you and not listen …
What a wonderful Ophthalmologist group. This year I had to use the services of several doctors there and all were informative Abe effective with the service provided. With ~30 years with Dr. ORLANDO, it has been very informative as well as …
I highly recommend Dr. James McHale and the Staff at Columbus Ophthalmology Associates. I had cataracts in both eyes, used to wear contacts, and was quite nearsighted. Dr. McHale removed the cataracts in October, installed new lens, and …
Terrible experience. Front reception never greeted me, added additional tests without consulting me as to why, associates stood around chatting and laughing instead of addressing patients in a timely manner. A 2-hour visit was unacceptable when tests only took 45 minutes total including a less than 5 minute visit from doctor.
I had cataract surgery 4 years ago on both eyes. At that time Dr McHale replaced my lenses utilizing new ones with the brand name Symphony. This particular type of lens is an upgrade that allows for 20/20 vision no matter what the distance. …
The Columbus Opthamology Associates organization is more than deserving of 10 stars. From the attentive and professional reception staff to the post op medical staff, Dr. McHale and crew has made my cataract surgery experience simply …
I went to Dr McHale to remove a cataract that had formed after surgery for a torn retina. My vision is now better than after receiving lasik surgery twenty years ago. The care I received from Dr McHale and his staff at Columbus Ophthalmology Associates has been outstanding
My recent experience with Columbus Ophthalmology Associates was extremely professional. From my first appointment with Dr. McHale to the post op nurse after my cataract surgery everyone was kind, friendly and very informative. Everyone …
Dr. Mchale is the best. I have been going for years. Not only does he takes care of me with glasses and frames. But also did my cataract surgery. Vert professional, vwry patient and also fun.i highly recommend COA.
Dr. Kancherla , Dr. Carey, and their team were so incredible to work with! My LASIK was an incredible experience with no pain and incredible results. This team made me feel comfortable with the surgery and recovery. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering LASIK!
Dr. McHale and the staff at COA could not have been better. Dr. McHale was great! He was easy to talk to, answered all my questions, and prepared me for cataract surgery. He made me feel comfortable with the procedure. The surgery center site was also great. They were all so nice, and helpful. I would recommend them highly!
Dr. James McHale was great! Very quick and painless! Easier then the lasik eye surgery I had more than 15 years ago. Could see better within 24 hours! I only had to have one eye done for cataract surgery but when it comes time for the other one I will definitely go back! Plus he’s a Buckeye grad!
I had cataract surgery with Dr Derick and PRK with Dr Kancherla. Even though I encountered some complications, I found both doctors to be extremely competent and caring. Every part of the office, from the receptionists to technicians to …

Awful place to visit
They charged me twice for the same service. I emailed them, but never got their …
After two years I’m leaving. Sat for 60 minutes and watched the waiting room turn over 2 or 3 times while i sat there wondering. It was a pressure check that took 10 minutes max with about 3 minutes of the Dr.’s time. Quick tip to the …
I trust my ongoing eye care to Dr Burns and his staff. He is personable and professional. Easy to book appointments and very little wait when arriving at the office. I think Dr. Burns has a great follow up system, reminding of upcoming …
Hey, this is the place to go if you don’t mind sitting in the waiting room an hour or more. The front office registration staff is very efficient, cordial and helpful. The front and back door elevator works well and you get to see who rides …
Extremely unprofessional. I elected for a 7:30AM appointment before work assuming they couldn’t be running behind for their first appointment. However, I still waited an hour before seeing a doctor.
Had cataract surgery last year by Dr. McHale. I feel like I had a totally brand new eye put in as I can see things clearly WITHOUT eyeglasses since I was a boy. My peripheral vision returned just as the new lens was attached. The operation …
Hi
This is the first time I am writing a review. Am a doctor myself but it was a terrible experience at Columbus Opthalmology today. …
As a new patient, I was disappointed. I had an appt at 12:15 pm. I arrived at 12:08. I had completed all of my paperwork online. I waited for over 30 minutes while other patients were called. I cancelled the appointment and not sure if I should try again.
Dr. Burns is not only a brilliant doctor but his bedside manner is the most kind and supportive of any doctor I have come to know . He is explicably determined to help you with your issues with your eyes and ultimately has been very …
$907.00 for a simple eye exam. I asked for itemized statement. They denied to print out the statement and asked me to call their billing department. After I insisted, they printed out the statement. …
