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.

Had to transfer my eye care to Dr Michael since my doctor was moving abroad. I’ve been very pleased with my care. Dr Michael is very thorough and identified that it was time to have my cataracts removed. Thanks to him my vision is now 20/20 in both eyes. Would recommend him to anyone who is experiencing vision problems.

I had cataracts on both eyes. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes. What more needs to be said? Dr Kunesh did a great job explaining the procedure and performing the surgeries. He and his staff were exceptionally caring and capable. I would without hesitation recommend Dr Kunesh as a first choice for these surgeries.

Dr. Kunesh is an exceptional Physician. He is very thorough and very up to date technically. I believe his skill level is unsurpassed and I am very glad I was referred to him by a friend. My cataract surgeries went without any problems and my sight is like receiving two new eyes. His ongoing care for my eyes ( I am diabetic) is also very thorough as I have mild glaucoma. I do not believe my eyes could be in better care than Dr. Michael Kunesh although I hear his brother is also very good. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone needing an eye Doctor.

Dr Michael Kunesh has been my eye doctor for the past 30 years. He is very dedicated, highly knowledgable, and keeps my glaucoma under control. He is very kind, caring, and shows great compassion to his patients. I highly recommend him as an eye specialist. His staff is equally caring.

Be aware. Very Aware! And read your post visit summary carefully. It will tell you more about your diagnosis, status and treatment plan than Dr. Michael Kunesh will ever tell you, even though the document says he discussed everything with the patient! Simply put, he does not discuss anything with patients. He has no personality or chair side manner and a hand shake like a wet noodle. And he is all about the dollar. Anytime he upgrades his equipment or get a new machine you can bet that you need it for one reason or another. I can't believe I put up with this for years, believing he had my best interest. I left his practice a couple of years ago after I asked my retina specialist why I needed an ERG test. He flatly told me to quit reading the Internet because I had absolutely NO NEED for such test and was wasting my time and getting confused. Then I showed him the visit report from Dr. Michael Kunesh, which had not been discussed with me but indicated I would have such test on my next

Dr. Kunesh performed cataract surgery for both my eyes and I am very pleased with his work. The whole experience was painless and the staff and their work is exemplary. They do answer your questions and make you comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Michael Kunesh. The do follow up on the patients. The only thing I would ask them to provide is some options for making payments, other than that their staff and their work is stellar and outstanding.
