Dr. James A. McHale is Director of Cataract Surgery at Columbus Ophthalmology Associates and has been with our practice since 2004. He was born the fifth of five children in Cleveland, Ohio. Having been in practice for nearly two decades, he has grown to understand the great privilege and responsibility that comes with being an eye surgeon. Dr McHale received undergraduate degrees in Biology and Psychology from Miami University, where he also minored in Neuroscience. He went on to attend medical school and complete his residency at the Ohio State University, where he served as President of the Medical School Student Council.

From day one of meeting Dr. McHale, my total experience was very positive! Upon examining my eyes, he confirmed my cataracts and explained everything that needed to be done. He was very patient and showed concern regarding a prior eye condition that I had been dealing with. I feel very relaxed under his care. He performed cataract surgery and did lens implants on both eyes! My vision is excellent now and there were no complications. He is definitely a breath of fresh air compared to the prior opthamologist who I had been seeing for 2 years but never diagnosed my cataracts!!! Thank you Dr. McHale and staff for taking such good care of my eye needs! I recommend Dr. McHale to anyone in need of eye care. Great bedside manner and expert knowledge of his field!!!

I had several questions, which were not thoroughly answered. Would not recommend him! I had to see another physician to get my questions answered.
