I would like to say that my time spent at Illinois Retina and Eye Assoc. has grown to a point where I feel like I'm visiting family. The staff are warm and friendly, and care about their patients. My daughter accompanies me to every visit and the staff even explains to her the purpose of the various tests and results. Dr. Kishore is, in my opinion, not just knowledgeable and professional, he is very approachable and forthcoming. At first, I was somewhat apprehensive about the procedure because I've had two previous incidents with my left eye. But, I'm happy to say that my right eye,the affected one, is not only improving, I no longer have the fear of the procedure. Dr. Kishore takes the time to help you relax, the procedure is painless, and now it's like I'm speaking with an old friend. Thank you Dr.Kishore and your staff for turning an unfortunate medical situation into a positive experience!
