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.

cataract surgery
I had cataract surgery on both eyes two weeks apart. My right eye is set for far vision and my left for near vision. my binocular vision is 20-20 and I don't need reading glasses. Dr. K explained clearly what to expect. The total process exceeded my expectations.

He is a caring professional.
I was treated very professionally and with high regard. That is important to me as I am a big baby when it comes to anything medical. Everyone was courteous and answered any questions I had. I am thrilled with the outcome of my surgery and would recommend Dr Katsoulakis to anyone. The entire experience was perfect.

Outstanding surgeon
My first interview with Dr. Katsoulakis began with a superb video detailing cataract surgery. He Questions and detailed answers were the norm and given with a great personality and sense of humor. Both cataract surgeries were uneventful. Surgery staff could not have been more thorough and pleasant delivering care and answering questions. Dr. Katsoulakis followed up after surgeries with 2 consultations for each eye and reviewed results. answered question and reviewed required home care.

Dr Nickolas Katsoulakis is a wonderful doctor
Dr Katsoulakis was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire process of cataract surgery. The care was excellent from the first appointment to the post operative follow up appointment. He took all the time needed to answer my questions and put me at ease with the procedure. The staff at Krates Eye Center was terrific as well. I would recommend Dr Nickolas Katsoulakis to anyone facing cataract surgery.

Cannot say enough about dr. Nick
Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he has such a wonderful bedside manner . You can tell that he really enjoys what he does and he’s beyond good at it. I already have a very close friend who has made an appointment to see him.. I told him if it wasn’t for the fact that I could see 1000% better out of my eye I would have sworn he didn’t do anything. The surgery itself for my cataract was not painful at all, and nor did I have pain after or any soreness.. I am beyond pleased..

best doctor
I am 69 years old and Have had many doctors in my lifetime, and a handful of them were great, but dr kayoulatis was exceptional! He was spot on with everything he told me would happen during my time seeing him for cataract surgery. the surgery went great, and I can now see like I've not been able to in a long time. His kindness was never-ending and his expertise was a 'Wow'! I will recommend him to all my friends and Krates Eye Center as well. thank so much!

Seeing clearly at age 66!
Dr Nick was able to remove my cataracts and restore my vision, after wearing glasses since 4th grade. His expertise and the recommendation Dr Nick provided for my new lenses was truly spot on. He is a fantastic ophthalmologist and surgeon. Although I was quite worried going into my surgeries, Dr Nick and his calm and attentive manner quickly helped calm my fears.His team at the Orland and Palos offices are wonderful. They were so receptive to my needs and do so in a very friendly and kind manner. Claire, at the Orland office has excellent skills and Julie the scheduler was truly a gem. You cannot go wrong with this doctor and team. I'm a very happy patient!

Great ophthalmologist and surgeon
I have been a patient for quite a few years. Glaucoma was suspected, but Dr. Katsoulakis or Dr. Nick as I call him did not rush to diagnose. He did diagnose. Just yesterday, I had my first cataract surgery. Everyone was so kind, knowledgeable and friendly. I was relaxed by a liquid I swallowed and no IV. I didn’t feel anything and the procedure plus stents in my eyes was over in 15 minutes. A big thank you to Dr. Nick and all of his staff. Everyone was welcoming.
