Patient Experiences

Patricia M Pfeifer
“The experience changed my life! Before surgery my poor vision was affecting my job performance and ability to drive – especially at night. Now after removal of cataracts and the implant of corrective lenses, I can see CLEARLY and distance for driving is amazing! Thanks to all who made my experience so comfortable. I am amazed at the outcome.”

Roberta Espey
“The day after my left eye surgery I’m overjoyed. I can see up close and far away without glasses, yippee!! I love it, love it love it and all involved were great to deal with. Happiness is seeing without glasses. Thank you!”

Kathryn Mader
“I was very impressed with the laser cataract surgery available at North Suburban. I had previous LASIK surgery ten years ago. The surgery went very well, great outcome. Dr. Johnson and his staff were very professional and a pleasure to work with.”

Patricia Sroka
“The experience was awesome. The first eye I was really nervous but everyone was so caring and they helped me through it. The second eye was a breeze. I now see 20/20 in both eyes even reading where I needed reading glasses before. The doctor, Dr. Folden, is a great Dr. Caring informative and awesome in his ability. I would highly recommend him and I have already!”

Jacqulyn Kinney
“I was very pleased with Dr. Patrick Johnson. He was very pleasant and professional. He did a great job on both eyes with very good results. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing cataract eye surgery.”

Aileen J. Smith
“My cataract surgeries, 2 weeks apart, were so successful that I’m afraid no one would believe it! I haven’t been able to see well since grade school. I can remember taking an eye test at school in the eight grade and could not see the huge top letter! Unbelievable. Now, not only is everything bright – no sepia-wash effect – but I’m seeing 20/20 and passed my drivers license reward without any problem at all! It truly has been a miracle for me.”

Joe Beaumont
“I would recommend Dr. Folden and his staff for eye care and surgery. When I checked in for surgery I was a little nervous. As the nurses and staff gave me all of those drops and prepared me for surgery, I was amazed at their friendliness and they answered all of my questions. Dr. Folden did the surgery with such skill. Thank you Dr. Folden.”

Carol Jubel
“Thank you for the wonderful care I received during my recent cataract surgery. You listened and handled all my concerns. I’m looking forward to life without glasses.”

Katherine Mull
“Surgery went very well, I was unsure with what to expect, but the LENSAR laser was not painful or difficult. I felt this surgery was very smooth and I could see immediately afterwards. Lights are much brighter, and my vision is almost 20/20 the very next day. I am very pleased with the results.”

Robert Anderson
“The laser cataract surgery was not uncomfortable, day after surgery my vision is excellent and I keep comparing eye to eye, the colors are 4-5 shades brighter. I did a Crossword puzzle right after my Laser Cataract Surgery. I would recommend the LENSAR Laser to my family and friends.”

Robert Trossen
“My vision is unbelievable the very next day after Laser Cataract Surgery. My vision before surgery was very cloudy and driving was difficult at night. Now colors are so vivid, and I am seeing 20/20 the very next day. I would recommend my friends and family to have their surgery done with North Suburban Eye Specialists.”

Judy Larkin
“My experience with the restore lens has been nothing less than remarkable. I have worn glasses since I was seven years old, and, but not anymore. It has only been one week with one eye, and three weeks with the other eye, and there is marked improvement every day. My experience at North Suburban Eye Specialties and Dr. Patrick Johnson has been nothing but outstanding. The professionalism with a little levity at the surgery center makes the experience a valued one.”

Patricia Rysdam
“I had a Technis Multifocal lense put in my left eye, and when I woke up the next morning my vision became clearer, I could see instantly. I anticipated little discomfort, and none during the actually surgery. Dr. Folden was extremely reassuring while he walked me through my entire surgery.”

Janet Meyer
“My vision is great, I am seeing 20/25, and colors are brighter especially the blue sky. I experienced no halos or glare after my surgery. The surgery was not difficult at all. I recommend my family and friends to have Laser Cataract Surgery with the LENSAR Laser because there is less recovery time; it’s a much faster surgery and much smaller chance of infection.”

Roxie Stone
“No-stitch cataract surgery was pain free. I couldn’t wait to tell my sister-in-law about my 20/20 vision using the latest laser techniques. Now she has scheduled her cataract surgery at North Suburban Eye Specialists.”
