"Had cataract surgery on both eyes and they took very good care of me would highly recommend them."
"Thank you Jesus for Doctor Tyler Kirk. Your God given talent and precision have given me 20/20 vision for the first time in my life. The support staff at Kirk Eye Center all helped in making sure my cataract procedures went smoothly and painless."
"I recently had cataract surgery done at Kirk Eye Center. From start to finish I had a very good experience with all the associates at Kirk Eye Center. My surgery went great with no discomfort at all. The results were excellent and started immediately after the surgery! I plan on having my other eye done ASAP. Very professional, friendly and the results were phenomenal! What else could you ask for!"
"I have been treated by all three Kirk family M.D.s (Scott, his son Tyler, and Scott's brother Kent), and all seem competent and thorough. Additionally Dr. Scott Kirk performed cataract surgery on me about four months previously with a good outcome. Robin, the optical dept. manager was especially helpful when I asked her to check the correction on two sets of glasses I had purchased elsewhere. The staff is in general fairly friendly, especially the two women at the front desk. --- Ten years later I'm still coming back, and on October 3, 2024, Dr. Scott saw me. Assistants are doing more of the work, but Scott comes in, does the dilated examination, and explains your condition to you. Fortunately for this 80-year old, he said that all looked good. I plan to be moving up north fairly soon, but I will still take Amtrak to Chicago for him to examine me."
"I have had numerous eye surgeries over last 3 years. Thank God for Dr Tyler Kirk and his staff in Glen Ellyn, IL. I most recently had cataract surgery and 24 hours later I feel amazing.

"I recently had the privilege of undergoing cataract surgery performed by Dr. Tyler Kirk and his exceptional team. To say I am delighted with the results would be an understatement. From the moment I stepped into their care, the experience was nothing short of remarkable. Dr. Kirk's expertise and precision were evident throughout the procedure, making it entirely painless and comfortable. The transformation in my vision has been nothing short of miraculous. The results have far surpassed my wildest expectations. I can't even remember when my eyesight was last this remarkable. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Tyler Kirk and his dedicated team of professionals. Their skill, compassion, and commitment to patient care are truly commendable. Thanks to them, I now enjoy a level of vision I had long thought was unattainable. If you're considering cataract surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tyler Kirk and his team. They have not only improved my vision but also my quality of life, and for that, I am truly grateful."

"I had cataract surgery on both eyes this past month. The pre-surgery visits were efficient and informative detailing my options for new optical lenses and what I would need to do to prepare. The entire staff as well as the doctors were friendly and knowledgeable. The two surgeries went effortlessly with no pain. The post-surgery exams were also efficient informing me of the healing process. All in all everything went excellently and I am enjoying my new glasses-free vision. Thank you Doctor Carter Kirk, Rose, and the rest of the Kirk staff."
