"Gurnee Kirk is my "go to home office". Recently had the Femto/Lasik cataract surgery at the surgical center in River Forest. I cannot begin to tell you how professional and yet personal everyone was I came in contact with. From the doctors and technicians, to staff and even the terrific van driver. Everything went so smoothly and I was informed every inch of the way in a very successful procedure. Even the followups being turned over to my long time Optometrist just down the street from me. Five stars is not enough... twenty or more is necessary. Choose Kirk Eye Center, you'll always be grateful you did. Darrell May, Antioch IL."
"I knew that eventually I would need Cataract surgery. I attempted to find a surgeon, but I was disappointed with reviews until I changed my eye doctor to Dr Crawford in Antioch who agreed that I would benefit from surgery and recommended Kirk Eye Center in Gurnee. My experience has been nothing short of miraculous. The appointments were prompt and professional. The procedure was PAINLESS, and recovery has been free of any problems! The results exceeded my expectations. In my closet, I can tell the difference between Navy and black. I don't need a flashlight to see the floor in my car. I can see the back of my cabinets. Under the exceptional operation and continuing support, I receive from Dr. Kirk and Dr. Crawford, I am extremely pleased with the outcoming!"
"Went there to get my chalazion of 2 years removed. (Heard i needed surgery to remove it kept me scared.) Erica was so sweet and great, Dr. Kirk and Wendy were great in explaining the procedure and helping me gain the courage to get it done same day. was a quick 4 minute procedure! will recommend this place until I am blue in the face. :) <3 Dr. Kirk also let me record it!! Thanks everyone!!"

"I had my first visit to Kirk Eye Center today to have a chalazion (stye-like) removed from my eyelid. Everyone in the facility was super nice and made me feel right at home.

"My dad had cataract surgery at the Gurnee location. It was a very good experience not only did they provide great customer service, but the surgical counselor Julissa was great and thorough. I highly recommend."
"Dr. Scott Kirk performed my cataract surgery with a multifocal lens. The procedure was painless and the results were significantly better than I could have imagined. I can’t even remember how long it has been since my eyesight was this great. A huge thank you to Dr. Kirk and his team of professionals."
"I was looking into getting lasik. Best investment ever!! I did research on different places and decided to go with Kirk Eye. The gurnee location customer service was very nice. The the team was very step by step with me. I would recommend them to anyone. The actual procedure was at their River Forest location. But I have no complaints about them either. The staff was great at both locations. Making this process so easy."
"If I could give this Eye Center 10 stars, I would. I have just completed my first laser cataract surgery in my left eye and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! I look forward to my next procedure on my right eye in a week with no hesitation or apprehension. Not only is the staff in Gurnee, exceptional, kind and courteous and helpful, the doctors that you see there are professional, kind, efficient and very knowledgeable, and make sure that you are comfortable with any decision you make. I was hesitant to do this, even though I have had Lasik surgery in the past but I couldn’t have had a better outcome or results. The doctors and staff at the surgery center were as efficient, courteous and kind as they are in Gurnee in helping you relax and guide you through the procedure with ease and confidence. If anyone is looking for either cataract or Lasik surgery on any level, please do not pass this place up, you’ll never regret it. I know I didn’t and I sincerely thank everyone so much"
"I CAN SEE AGAIN !! This is the first review I have ever written, but very well deserving. Excellent care from the receptionists to the technicians to obviously the doctors. The receptionists were very accommodating in scheduling appointments. The technicians explained what each test determined, while the doctor determined and implemented the correct action. Cataract surgery was successful, pain free, and stress free as I was sedated. Results were back to 20/20 vision. I would highly recommend Kirk Eye Center."

"I just had cataract surgery. I highly recommend Kirk Eye Center! I cant praise Kirk Eye Center in Gurnee and NovaMed Center in River Forest enough!. Both are professional and do an amazing job at keeping you informed and relaxed regarding the procedure. They have the process down to a choreographed science.Every dept. and every person is professional, can answer any question, they take their time with you, but they don't waste it either. Dr. Scott Kirk is wonderful as well as Michelle in the Gurnee office. If you have been told you need cataract surgery took up Dr. Scott Kirk in Gurnee and River Forest- you wont be sorry. The day after my surgery my vision was 20-25 in my left eye- everything was bright and clear. Remarkable since the day before surgery, my left eye, I could barely see,everything was cloudy, like being in a fog. Yes....5 stars to Kirk Eye Center and Dr. Scott Kirk and team!!!!"
