UIC Medical Center Ophthalmology

Amanda is fantastic and very patient with me. I will continue to come back here because even being 35 and dcared amd diffucylt she was fantastic!!!! This is her field!!! She rocks it

I highly recommend to everyone to avoid UIC in general. If you need an Eye specialist please please please go to University of Iowa in Iowa City. #1 in the country!!!! Their staff is friendly, they communicate well, not crammed into 1 little tiny space, multiple specialists with open options and opinions, and everything is billed on one statement for same day visits. At UIC, I sat and waited for 2hours to be seen. When I asked where Dr Jain was, I was told he is running late because he had a meeting he was in. So the Dr did not communicate to his staff to inform his patients he was running late. Next, sending 2 separate bills instead of one for same day visit. You don't send 2 separate bills when being seen on the same day visit. Billing dept. was awful, I was given the runaround, and they dont do a great job representing UIC in a professional manner. Finally, when calling Dr Jain's office, they won't call back for a week; there line is always, "we got tied up with other patients." For whole week...really??? Well I am one less person to worry, and you not need to worry about getting my money any longer. I like U of Iowa and that is where I will be going from now on. Again, U of Iowa, BEST IN THE COUNTRY AND RANKED NUMBER 1 IN THE COUNTRY!!!! GO THERE AND NOT UIC.

This place has great doctors who the University (run by corrupt administrators) likes to overbook. Most patients at this public hospital are on medicare or Medicaid so they are trying to push in as many patients as possible to bill the federal government at highest costs possible and so they can pad their salaries. So expect to wait a long time to see the doctor. And don't complain because no one cares. They will just pretend they care.

Hey, it don't get any better than Dr. Elmer Tu. How Dr. Tu sees so many patients, and gives each patient a small but accurate bit of his expertise is amazing. Yes, there may be a wait period, but those patients complaining just don't understand Dr. Tu's patient load. Dr. Tu has protected my vision on several occasions; stop complaining and rest assured that Dr. Tu will rescue and protect your vision!

Long waiting time, only for a doctor to tell us that the staff from the University emergency room sent us to the wrong location. Go next door to the other eye clinic location and then told it's the wrong location again. The receptionist calls back to this location and told that we need to go back and wait again. Waste of a morning and missed a day of work.

Be ready to wait to get accommodated over 4 hours! Tried to schedule an appointment , called before 4th of July next available appointment only next year in January?! No specialists available to treat people with their vision it's unprofessional. It's our eyes!

It's a very long waiting period more than 4 hours by over all good doctors

Nearly 4 hrs of wait time for basic eye check up. Ridiculous! .... Note: (Bring lunch).
