I had such a wonderful experience at Ticho Eye Associates - Munster location! The doctors are incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely caring. They take the time to explain everything clearly and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was welcoming and professional. The doctors truly listen to your concerns and provide thoughtful, personalized care. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and committed to helping their patients see and feel their best. If you're looking for compassionate, attentive, and highly skilled eye doctors, I highly recommend Ticho Eye Associates in Munster. An outstanding experience from start to finish!

Dr Ticho is out of my network, so I am doing self pay. I dont think people with health insurance appreciate the value of the dollars they spend in Healthcare until they have no insurance. That being said, my appointment for Ptosis and Diplopia was very thorough. Dr Ticho and an associate (possibly in fellowship) spent more time with me than any doctor i have ever had. My diagnosis is a difficult one. My neurologist referred me to a neuro-opthalmologist but there were none in my network. My Ophthalmologist recommended Dr Ticho. Boy am I glad I took her recommendation. After my extensive exam, Dr Ticho explained the process to mechanically address the Diplopia and Ptosis. Then Amanda sat me down to schedule my upcoming appointments and surgical procedure. She explained the costs and broke them down so there would be no sticker shock. As I said, im self-pay so understanding costs is important. For the first time since my symptoms appeared almost a year ago, I finally feel like I'm in the hands of someone interested in improving my condition. I feel like I'm in control again, rather than just bouncing off walls navigating the healthcare system in hopes of a solution.

Dr Ticho is a fantastic doctor that goes out his way to help patients. During my visit, he and all but one on his team made sure the history for my condition was gathered... proper tests were taken on my eyes... and details were provided and explained for my condition. Dr Ticho answered every question I had. I appreciate his amazing care and that of the medical assistant I initially saw. I'm very concerned about the lack of compassion received by a doctor that reviewed my case before I talked to Dr Ticho. Without seeing the results of my tests, that other doctor proclaimed with a cocky smile that my eyes were bad and I probably needed surgery. I was told on 11/21/25 by staff that on 9/30/25 the two doctors that saw me were Dr Ayham Bwidani and Dr Ticho. However, I could not locate a Dr Bwidani as being associated to this business nor listed as a staff member on their website. Based on online pictures I've seen on the business website, I believe the other doctor that saw me and acted in a negative way was Dr Darin Strako. Nevertheless, whomever the doctor was, I would not want to ever have this person work with me or any other patient due to their lapse in judgement blurting out results without test documentation to back it up. This was careless and heartless. As a result, I've decided at this time not to return to this office. This was my first visit to this office and I must stress Dr Ticho was kind, respectful, and did an outstanding job.

Best eye exam I've could have had. Dr ticho and his associates were so thorough and efficient. Such a wonderful doctor. Would recommend to all my family and friends.

I was very impressed with Dr. Ticho and Micaela. Both of them were courteous, professional and thoroughly examined my eyes providing suggestions for proper eye care. I have moebius syndrome and Micaela understood the condition and took time to diagnose the problem along with Dr. Ticho. Great experience!

The optometrist's staff provided exceptional service during my eyewear selection. Their knowledgeable and attentive team guided me through choosing the perfect frames, offering personalized recommendations that complemented my facial features. I'm excited to receive my new glasses and grateful for their professional assistance.

The team at Ticho is excellent. From Dr. Dawson to Nicole in the optical shop, they are consummate professionals and wonderful to work with.

I'd pass. This is the doctor that permanently damaged a woman's vision by operating on the incorrect eye, then operating on the correct one after in a non sterile room.Literally stuck a needle in her eye without GLOVES. He then tried to change the consent form to state the original eye he destroyed was what the patient agreed to. What was the outcome of your lawsuit Dr. Ticho?
