KC eye was great! Tech. & Doctors

Moved to KC Eye Center when Dr Bircher joined the practice. Very thorough and conscientious. Love the staff and availability of appointments. High level of confidence in their eye exams with recent technologies. Returned to Dr. Bircher after five years when my new VSP coverage was in network.
Professional staff is accommodating to support consumer needs and interests.

KC Eye Clinic is outstanding at eye care. Would highly recommend them for your eye care. I have been seeing Dr. Bircher for many years and she has been able to fit my scaleral contact lenses
Linda B.
I got the mono vision one eye for near and the other eye for far for my cataract surgery. I was going to get the multi focal lenses but Dr Ohly said those can sometimes cause halos in low light and I also found a research paper online that stated the same. I am glad I did the mono -one near-one far option because the lenses provide crisp vivid color and good night vision. I went to my first KC Chiefs game which was a night game and was astounded at how vivid and clear the field and players were. I also had a canaloplasty for glaucoma which was successful at getting my pressure down. I had gone to two other ophthalmologists before Dr Ohly and am so glad I found his practice. Everyone in the clinic has been top notch

Great service from a friendly staff!

Dr.Stephen Nichols is always very courteous and professional in his care of my eyes. When he found I had ARMD he immediately referred me to a retina specialist. He doesn't recommend unnecessary surgeries or new lenses, but let's you know when the time will be right for either one. He is very personable and punctual. Appointments are scheduled appropriately so no unnecessary waiting. My husband is also a patient and agrees with this assessment. Thank you KCEyeClinic.
Sherri S.
I was referred to this clinic as a bump appeared on my eyeball close to a spot where a squamous cell had been discovered. My immediate impression was that every staff member was friendly and efficient, a great combination which helped assure me and calm my nerves. The doctor I saw was also friendly, answered every question, and made me very comfortable with the options and our choice of surgery and biopsy. Everything went well, and I would highly recommend this office for your eye care needs.

Dr Dawn Bircher is the best eye professional I’ve ever worked with! My confidence in her treatment for my eyes is as high as it gets. The front office is organized, professional and super helpful. I definitely recommend her!
Deborah J.
A sign at the check-in desk warned patients that the practice is extremely busy at holiday time and we need to be patient. Faith was very efficient in prescreening and verifying I was there for pressure check only. I did wait for
Dr. Biggerstaff for roughly 30 minutes
which she apologized for and was kind ,professional and happy to tell me my eye pressure had improved. It's a busy and popular practice and for me the wait is a small price to pay for thorough and proper care.
Gae L.
All staff are kind, knowledgeable, thorough and professional. I highly recommend this practice.

My husband has been seeing Dr. Ohly for about 15 years. Did both eyes for cataracts and has been treating his glaucoma for years. Just had to clean one of my lenses that made my eye sight fuzzy and not clear anymore. Worked great, can see ever thing clear again. He is a 5 star Doctor.

Great staff.
Morgan
I’ve been going for 7+ years and Dr Nichols has been great every time. The tech staff has been pretty solid as well, ESPECIALLY Jack. He was so patient, creative, nonjudgmental, and clearly cares about his patients. I don’t do well with anything close to my eye or even drops but he handled it like it was no biggie without hesitation. I’m very satisfied with this practice and definitely recommend.
Bruce C.
I have only good feelings about Kansas City Eye Clinic; the doctors and staff are talented and friendly.

Debbie F.
Dr Nichols is very professional and personable
Robert G.
Dr Biggerstaff was very helpful in answering my questions. After my first eye was done, I made another appointment to ask her a number of questions I had. She was just great in helping me put my mind at rest. I went ahead and had the second eye done, and I am happy with the final outcome. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a cataract surgeon.
Sandy B.
Skilled and professional staff. Thorough assessments with recommendations for a plan moving forward. All questions were addressed and options for informed decision making were provided. Dr. Ohly was extremely kind and informative.
