Dr. Gil is one of the nicest doctors I’ve ever encountered. Super friendly, personable, empathetic. It truly made my experience so much better. I can’t thank them enough! All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Thank you again!
We have 4 generations that have gone and continue to appreciate their professionalism & expertise in eye care. Kirk eye care has a welcoming staff & environment. When my cataract surgery was scheduled, I was given clear communication as what to expect with the day of surgery and recovery. Thank you Dr Scott Kirk for your attentive care and dedication you have for your patients well being.
Had cataract surgery a little over 2 years ago. My eyesight is now great. Follow up visits are very thorough. Everyone there is kind and professional. As a bonus, they have the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen.
Excellent experience at Kirk Eye Center ! From the front desk to a medical staff and a doctor. Marta was my nurse and Dr Carter Kirk did my cataract surgery. Everyone is very professional, experienced, helpful and kind, there is never any waiting there, and they really take a time to explain everything in detail. State of the art equipment here ! Very well organized office. I've had visits in both locations Chicago and River Forest. I would highly recommend that practice . Thank you Kirk Eye Center.
