Reviews of Illinois College of Optometry (Ophthalmologist)

Kevin Zen

Incompetent and inefficient. While the students are wonderful, they give very unnecessarily thorough eye exams that last around 3-4 hours, compared to a regular 30 minute exam. I called THREE times in a week to order my contact lenses, and each time I was told to leave my information and they would call me back by the end of the day. I was never called or emailed, and on the third time I let them know that I would order from another Optometrist if they did not keep their word. It looks like the ICO doesn't care and after wasting so much time I will be ordering my lenses from somewhere else.

Students do a VERY thorough eye exam, everyone is pleasant there, great frame selection, and they have a program called Vision of hope where they provide free glasses to low-income families. Great place!

Never been in but the WiFi is great and there's some beautiful women who go there!

Horrible. It takes 2-3 months to schedule an appointment. They only take PPO insurance and have incompetent staff.

David Kubitz

Excellent student body. Professional and insightful faculty.

Josh Melton

Super thorough exams. Took 3 hours for me and 2 for my wife. Students are friendly and do a great job, but it takes way too long for a yearly eye exam. It also took a long time while we were being fitted for glasses. It’s been more than two weeks and we are still waiting on the glasses we chose. Probably wouldn’t go back.

Very thorough eye exam. Everyone is pleasant, respectful, courteous, and professional from security, the staff, and doctors. I highly recommend this place.

The doctor and support staff are fantastic only reason I didnt give them 5 stars was because of the prices of the frames and glasses themselves.

For patients: The students are wonderful; they are very informed and determined. Enjoyable personalities. Great atmosphere for anyone wanting an eye exam. For prospective students: The school itself however is disappointing. Other than the curriculum and placement (Chicago is wonderful) there is not much. The cafeteria is absolutely horrendous. The library needs to be updated. The dorms/dorm kitchen you can forget about; think about a small box and then try living in it. Very small fitness area. You'd think they'd keep it up to date with all the money they're sucking from their students and donations. I was also surprised at how rude some of the staff was. Proceed with caution.

Will change your appointment time without telling you then try to gaslight you and make you believe that's what you signed up for. Unfortunately the only place near me for eye care so I don't have a choice.
