Nebraska Medicine Truhlsen Eye Institute

I made an appointment a month + out and didn't even think about the insurance, which is BCBS FED Vision, which I was never asked to confirm. Get there and they dont except this insurance. I missed a day of work and now will have to miss another day in order to get my eye exam. Insurance should be confirmed prior to appointments. This is totally unexceptable.

UNMC Dr. Ivey Thornton, did a Cataract Removal on me, and it was by Far, the Easiest, most Painless Surgery I have ever had; and I've had a Lot!! She will be doing my Other Eye in 2 Weeks. The whole Process with Her, from initial Exam to Post Op, has been so Thorough and Excellent, it made me Comfortable, and Not Afraid to Proceed with the Surgeries. Thank You DR. THORNTON and Staff, for your Exceptional Care! I Highly Recommend Her, and UNMC for All Health Care!

Wonderful experience Dr Thornton and her staff are very professional. I felt very comfortable throughout my surgery. I highly recommend them

I was tremendously lucky to see Dr. Rao Chundury. He identified my eyelid problem immediately and with his specialized surgical expertise, his exhibited confidence, and his total "above the bar" bed side manner he did an in-office surgical procedure that was 100% successful. The procedure immediately relieved the eyelid pain I had been experiencing for seven months. After I was home for about an hour I received a personal call from Dr. Chundury in follow-up making sure I was comfortable and didn't have any further questions for him. His staff, Barb, his PA and "absolutely everyone I came in contact with" were top notch caretakers! I also had a previous conversation with the awesome Laura Maynard from another area in the Truhlsen Eye Center before my appointment and she was a wealth of information. Dr. Chundury and his staff are a 5-Star department and I would highly recommend them. I was truly blessed to see Dr. Chundury.

Dr. Thornton did a wonderful job with a complicated cataract surgery. She was thorough in her examination, clear in her explanation and attentive to the needs of the patient. Everyone we interacted with was excellent from making the appointment to the office visit to the surgery itself and the follow up. I highly recommend Dr. Thornton.

Excellent experience. My cataract surgeries went well with no complications. Everyone I interacted with from the check-in to the nurses and surgical team were friendly and answered my questions without hesitation. The facility is bright, clean and offered up-to-date care.

Dr. Thornton performed my cataract surgery. She was very thorough with explanation and post op expectations and direction. The surgical team was very nice and comforting. I'm glad I chose Nebraska Medicine for my surgical need!

Had cataract surgery in the fall of 2023 and all went well with Dr. Ivy Thornton of Truhlsen Eye Institute. Dr. Thornton listened, communicated the diagnosis and solutions thoroughly, and performed the surgery herself instead of handing me off to another surgeon. Great bedside manner and post-op care too. Her office staff and nurses/assistants were all professional, courteous, and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommended.
