Krates Eye Center

I love Krates Eye Center in Palos Heights. I have Dr Nick Katsoudakis as my doctor and I have seen two of the other doctors in the group and they are all very good caring people and highly trained. I would recommend this group to everybody. And if you have a problem on a weekend they have a answering service which will get a hold on one of the doctors for you to answer any problems you are having. So glad that they are there. Highly recommend.

I have been to see Dr. Nickolas Katsoulakis several times over the years, the most recent time was in April of 2013. I was concerned about numerous «floaters» in my right eye & wanted to make sure my retina was not detached. I had a thorough exam by Priscilla (the technician) and by Dr. Katsoulakis. The «floaters» were nothing serious & I was negative for glaucoma & cataracts. I did receive a slightly stronger prescription for eyeglasses for my near-​sightedness.
In September of 2013, I decided to get the eyeglasses made — but could not find where I had put the new Rx. I simply phoned the office & they printed up a new Rx for me.
I am very satisfied w/​Dr. Katsoulakis (both he & Priscilla were extremely friendly & professional). Being able to get a Saturday appointment was also a plus. I would recommend Krates Eye Center in Palos Heights to everyone.
Sincerely,
Tim Krol

I had cataract surgery last April and due to complications ended up having slight swelling in the macular area. Dr. Katsoulakis still has not released me as he wants to make sure I am 100% perfect! I have never met any other doctor who is as caring and thorough as he. I am referring all of my family members to him.

Ever have a blinding, searing pain in one of your eyes? So painful, in fact, that blinking, sunshine… hell, even *thinking* about it leads to excruciating agony?
Helllllo, eye infection/ulcer/thingamajig-that’s-very-bad. You horrid, hateful, spiteful little thing. I hate you. Hate you with the passion of a thousand fiery suns.
So…there’s that.
Anyway, certain the pain would lead to an imminent and unavoidable death (or at least some permanent blindness), I called Krates Eye Center on the recommendation of my dad (who has been a patient there for years). I was able to get an afternoon appointment (same day!) with Dr. Nickolas Katsoulakis. Fast forward to the appointment: Dr. Katsoulakis explained everything in detail – from what he was looking for/​at within the separate parts of the exam to the length of treatment to the actual elements of the eye itself and how it related to my issue. In short, he is EXCELLENT. Once I was in the exam room, his entry was prompt, his manner friendly and professional – overall a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Krates Eye Center, especially Dr. Katsoulakis.
My only beef (and it’s not really a beef, as much as just something to put out there) is that I did wait a bit prior to being called back to the exam room. Once in the exam room, my wait was minimal at best, but in the actual waiting area, it definitely took some time. (No easy feat to wait when you’re contemplating clawing out your own eyeball.) But otherwise, the receptionist was friendly on the phone and check in was painless. Totally happy to give a solid five stars to Krates Eye Center.
