University Ophthalmology Assocs

Dr. Robert Stein did surgery on both my eyes to remove cataracts that had developed about 18 months after another ophthalmologist implanted collamer lenses. He also removed the collamer lenses and implanted new lenses to replace my natural ones. My distance vision is now ²⁰⁄₂₀ and ²⁰⁄₂₅ and for the first time in my life, I can drive without glasses or contacts! (I still use reading glasses, but I needed them anyhow after my first set of surgeries before the cataracts developed). Although the results are impressive, even more important is the level of compassion and professionalism that Dr. Stein displayed throughout the process. I was understandably nervous and upset about the prospect of undergoing another set of eye surgeries so soon after the previous ones, but Dr. Stein really helped ameliorate my worries and re-​inspired my confidence in the ophthalmological profession.

I’ve been a client of Dr. Robert Stein for many many years. I’ve seen him at the Skokie Blvd. location and at the Harrison St. location. Glaucoma runs in my family and so it’s extremely important to monitor my situation. Dr. Stein is extremely experienced, professional and a great listener. No matter how busy his day or his office, I never feel rushed – I always feel I have his full attention and can ask any questions. We discuss what’s going on and what possible avenues I have to choose from regarding medication or treatment. He takes into account whatever personal or financial situation I have going on at the time in making the best plan for my care. I always find the staff to be friendly and attentive and the offices clean and calm. If you have any concerns about your vision, do yourself a favor and see Dr. Stein.

I went here as an emergency patient once and was amazed with their great service. I was able to get an appointment almost immediately, even though I was not a previous patient. The doctor was really friendly and really knowledgeable. The whole staff was pleasant. I really liked the professionalism of this doctor and his staff and willl go here again!
