There was a lot of "waiting" time. Several different associates did preliminary evaluations (not a problem), but had to wait in between each test and then to see Dr. Kirk. I was actually with the Dr. for less than 10 minutes, but time in office was about 2 hours. More

Dr. Bauer is great. The staff there is all very friendly and good at their jobs, but the wait is looooooong. I waited 20 minutes before being seen by a tech for the eye exam and then 45 minutes from the time I was seated in that waiting area until I was seen by Dr. Bauer. It just seems excessive to be there for an hour and a half.read more More

I was a client of Kirk Eye Center for a number of years, but had to stop due to loss of insurance. Once I secured insurance again, I could not wait to return. And, I was delighted to see the knowledge, expertise and care I received over the years was still the same! More

He was very professional, kind, gave me an explanation of his diagnosis and made clear for me that the problem I am having can happen with time. i am so glad he took the time to see me today, instead of on the day of my appointment. After he explained me the diagnosis I was relieved and stopped worrying. Thank you so very much Dr. Bauer and your wonderful staff that took care of me! More
