I had a very concerning experience with the Edgewood Kentucky office. I first spoke with one of their employees, who refused to verify my insurance and stated it was “patient responsibility,” She told me my insurance wouldn't cover the vist even though they never asked for my policy number. She also gave me incorrect information about my insurance being “state‑run” and not working out of state, which I know is not true. I have use it in Tennessee and Georgia. She also kept saying that I would need permission for self pay. Today I spoke with the office ...

Very disappointing experience at the Cincinnati Eye (Blue Ash location). This is now our second visit with extremely long wait times and poor communication. During our recent appointment, we waited almost 3 hours without any updates from staff. Eventually, when we asked, we were told the doctor was actually on vacation - yet they had still scheduled our appointment. This is unacceptable and shows a serious lack of coordination and respect for patients’ time. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we’ve experienced this. On our previous visit, we ...

I had no vision in my left eye for close to five years following a retinal reattachment surgery. This surgery caused a cataract to occur on my eye. Dr. Aaron Kaufman removed the cataract and I now have my vision back in my left eye! GOD told me: all things are possible with GOD. I kept the faith, but it was a long time before my vision was restored. I love ❤️ the way that Dr. Kaufman gives his full attention to his patient and does not rush the process. My office wait times were not at all excessive, and I would not have complained if they were ...

Flew to Cincinnati to CEI from Maine for cataract removal. My husband has a very rare eye condition which makes it difficult to have a cataract removed. Nanothalma. His left eye had been done in Boston 4 years back. Not the best result. So we sought a different surgeon to do his right eye. We found Dr. Snyder through our glaucoma specialist in Portland Maine. I wish I could tell you the whole story as there were some setbacks on our part once we got down there. Nothing to do with Dr. Snyder or CEI. We were greeted at the desk first off. They are the ...

Our last two experiences at Cincinnati Eye Institute Surgery Center were not what we would expect from a highly regarded institution. While the second procedure ultimately went better than the first, the way today’s situation was handled left us feeling unheard, rushed, and very uncomfortable. My grandmother had her second eye procedure less than a week after the first. Because her first procedure was painful and uncomfortable, we specifically wanted to make sure her needs and concerns were properly communicated and that we had an opportunity to advocate ...
