Love my experience at Koch Eye Associates. My eye exam went well and I found that my prescription had changed drastically and that I may need cataract surgery in the Spring. I then went to the optometrist shop to select new glasses. I was treated with respect and selected a pair. Just picked up the completed eyes wear and am totally satisfied with their caring and attentive service More

I dont usually write reviews.I was most impressed with my cataract surgery this week here. The place runs like clockwork! All the staff were fantastic! It's very professional yet maintains high quality personable care.I want to thank Valerie for showing me a fool proof way of using eye drops and for her sweet and happy demeanor. I want to thank Summer for her tender care and for loving where she works for how it works so well, and for working to grow in her field there. I want to thank all of you who assisted in my care tho I didn't get your name. I want to thank MS Dr. Graise for her surgery to restore my vision and all of her exceptional team.I highly recommend Koch Eye and St James surgery Center. Thank you! More

Took my mother for cataract surgery. The process was smooth. My mother told me everyone was kind and professional. There was no long waiting as the appointment went as scheduled. The pick up and drop off went smoothly. I was called in plenty of time to pick her up when she was done. The eye is healing well and she is already seeing an improvement in her eyesight. The location was also convenient. More

Outstanding care and attention to detail. Right from the start with initial evaluation followed immediately with Amy White to schedule surgery and all the details before and after including pre and post surgical procedure eye drops. Glad I chose KOCH/Dr Gerber for the cataract surgery. Dr Fantoni provided thorough follow up care after each eye surgery. The surgery location was top notch and professionally well staffed resulting in a smooth experience in and out. I would recommend the mild sedation protocol. One area that could be improved would be ability to speak to the right person in a reasonable time when calling the office. Also their portal is easy to use but the patient education documents are impossible to view. Replies to sent messages/questions are nonexistent. There was one hiccup on my first day of surgery, I was the first person in line for surgery that morning, when I got to the equipment location we found there was an equipment problem. They were able to switch quickly to the back up machine, so there were no holdups to do that. But my point is that should not have happened. More

Recently had cataract surgery. Both the office and St. James Surgery Center functions like a well oiled machine. Every employee that I interacted with was knowledgeable, friendly and good at what they do. My only regret is that I never had the opportunity to thank Dr. Richard Sayegh personally for restoring my vision to a level that it had never been before. My distance vision is now 20/20 with no refractive correction and with the standard surgery. Results like that require a very high level of skill. Top notch eye care! More

I had cataract surgery by Dr Sayegh in January of 2016. I can't specify how great everything was. I highly recommend him for anyone needing cataract or LASIK eye surgery. More
