Dr. John O'Grady, MD

I am not looking for great “bedside manner,” I am looking for a great doctor. I am 64 years old and was referred to Dr. O’Grady by my optometrist for possible Glaucoma. He was the first eye care professional that noticed I had dry eyes and recommended artificial tears, especially before the field of vision test. I had a follow-up three months later and it was pretty clear that I did not have the beginnings of Glaucoma. An annual check-up a year later confirmed that. In every visit, Dr. O’Grady was very professional and answered all of my questions. Yes, the Great Lakes Eye Institute is huge and sees many patients every day. But all of the staff and nurses are very friendly and efficient. All of my tests and images were done before I saw the doctor so that he had time to review and make the proper care decisions. That is the nature of the process. You spend some time waiting and taking tests but that is the key to getting the right diagnosis. Also, the TVs are no longer set to Fox News.

Dr O'Grady possesses horrible bed side manner and no empathy toward patients. Great Lakes Eye appears to book patients every two minutes, number one concern collecting money, lastly recommend seeking vision/medical help elsewhere.

Went in complaining of migraine pain behind my eye. After three minutes with OGrady, was told I had dry eye sockets and probably a sinus infection. Three days later I had an aneurysm rupture.
