Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Breyer is a great doctor!
Dr Breyer has completed two Caterac surgeries on me. Each time I had an excellent experience. He is not only clinically excellent but he is kind and asks if you need to know something that he can help with. I would recommend him 100%.

A Life Changing Event
Telehealth
Amazing. Scheduling, surgery, staff, facilities and follow-up exceeded all my expectations. If you golf and can't follow the ball, I am now telling my playing partners where their golf shots are landing. Night driving for me was also a big concern but not any more. Those bright LED headlights are no longer an issue. My initial goal was to improve my sight for distance and the surgery did but I no longer need reading glasses. That was an unexpected bonus. Dr. Beyer was great throughout this whole process. When I had questions, Dr. Beyer always took the time to provide me with answers. Dr. Beyer and his team always made me feel special and never rushed any appointments. This was a wonderful experience and I still can't believe how my eyes have changed and improved. Thank you Dr. Beyer and your outstanding team for changing my life.

Best experience!
Just had cataract surgery on both eyes (a couple weeks apart) and Dr. Beyer and the staff at Krates Eye Center were fabulous to work with. Appointment times were honored without waiting and staff were kind and carefully explained what to expect with this process. Highly recommend if you need cataract surgery!

Dr. Beyer Review
Dr. Beyer was friendly, helpful, and most of all, competent. He took time to answer all of my questions concerning cataract surgery, and put me at ease, The procedure was almost a non-event (a good thing!) and the results were excellent I have experienced no residual concerns.

The best of the Best!
Both the Dr. and the staff were kind, considerate, for the most part I was treated with respect and dignity - those two things are what I look for when choosing a health professional.Being in the health field, gave me insight in terms of how I wanted to be treated, and how I treated my patients over the years. This service was excellent.

Cataract Surgeries
I would recommend Dr.Beyer 100%. Every appointment was on time. Everything was explained clearly. I felt very comfortable about getting the surgeries done. Both surgeries were done quickly and painlessly. I was amazed how quickly everything went from the office visits to the after care. The best part was my eyesight after the surgeries. I never realized how bad my eyesight was.

I highly recommend Dr Beyer
Dr Beyer is caring, compassionate, and a very amazing doctor. He is easy to talk to and is very patient. I called him many times about my cataract surgery and he always returned my calls. My retina specialist told me that he did a wonderful job on my special lens to correct my stigmatism.Thank you Dr Michael Beyer

Thank you Dr. Beyer!
I developed a cataract in one eye and recently had surgery to correct it. Dr. Beyer at the Krates Eye Center performed the procedure and I could not be happier with the results. I was very pleased with the folks at the Krates Eye Center, the Palos Surgicenter and especially with Dr. Beyer.I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Beyer. He really is a competent professional. Not only were the results of my procedure amazing, but I found him to be a very patient, genuine and understanding person who took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. I never felt rushed.On the morning of the procedure, he stopped by to check in on me which made me feel more at ease and safe.It is very reassuring when something as important as this works out as well as it did. Thank you Dr. Beyer for a job so very well done!

Enthusiastic recommendation!
My experience at Krates Eye Center, having a YAG capsulotomy done by Dr. Beyer, was a reminder that high quality eye care professionals practice in my own neighborhood. Appointments were available and all staff services provided in an friendly, efficient, and punctual environment. The real test, however, was the success of the procedure performed by Dr. Beyer: the immediate restoration of clear vision which I experienced. The procedure on the second eye was scheduled for ten days after the first. I rarely go a day without marvelling that I can see as well as I do now.

Great service to seniors!
Dr. Beyer removed both my cataracts recently, and I couldn't be happier with my new vision and with the care I received from the staff and from Dr. Beyer.Dr. Beyer displayed confidence in his skill without any hint of arrogance. He also treated me respectfully--all too often seniors are treated as they are infants! I resent people who treat seniors as though we are small children. Don't call me 'sweetie' or 'honey' and I must say, everyone I encountered in his practice were kind, considerate, helpful and respectful. All questions I had--and I had a good number--were answered to my satisfaction and with reassurance. Every part of the surgery was explained both at my initial consultation, and as the procedure was happening. This is considered a minor surgery, but it's our EYES. It's can be a frightening experience! What a tremendous gift to have vision restored. I highly recommend Dr. Beyer.
