I have had the most wonderful experience with my doctor. She took great care of my eyes. She was concerned about me and my vision. She took all steps necessary to make sure I had a good outcome. The outcome of my surgeries was amazing and I would strongly recommend Dr. Epitropoulos to anyone needing cataract surgery. This is the first time in 53 years that I have been able t see without correction,

Thanks to Dr. Epitropoulos I started on the fish oil she recommended. I have been on it for a couple of years now and have not had to use eye drops since. Best thing that ever happened to me.

My initial thoughts on cataract surgery at the age of 53 were concerned, worried, apprehensive and even fearful. Let me just say - I was pleasantly surprised! Dr Epitropoulos was absolutely the best! She and her staff were the kindest, most thoughtful group of people I've every experienced. The process (in both eyes) went smoothly and recovery was easy. Just had to follow the directions. My vision is clear and I know have color back in world! Thank-you Dr Epitropoulos and staff for a great experience.

I have worn glasses for over 60 years and as a result of the surgery , I am now gasses free. If you would have told me before surgery that this would be the results, I wouldn't have believed you. can not express enough my satisfaction with these results. I spent 12 years in medical sales and had dealt with many doctors and Dr, E is at the head of her class and chosen profession.

I have been seeing Dr. Epitropoulos for many years. I first went to see her for lasik which she kindly informed me that i was not a candidate. While disappointed, i thoroughly respected her for her honesty and her guidance about my vision. I continued to see her for many more years and finally had a procedure with her for which she gave me the absolute gift of 20/20 vision. It has been 4 years now and i continue to be amazed every day at how fabulous my vision is. I am forever grateful to her.

Never seems to be in a hurry, takes time to explain things to the patient, clear and concise in her directions. Worth the wait time, her wait time is not bad at all compared to other doctors. Her staff is very supportive of her and know their jobs inside and out and are very kind and caring. I highly recommend her!

I was diagnosed with severe dry eye, that needed to be much improved prior to having cataract surgery. Besides conventional treatment with Restasis, she recommended getting a special Dry Eye Omega 3 liquid from Physician's Recommended Nutriceuticals (PRN). It's been great! Now even when I yawn my eyes water easily and feel more comfortable. I rarely now need to use any over-the-counter artificial tears drops. In fact, she provided some free samples of some different brands, and those were preservative-free, which eliminated the buildup of additional residue in my eyes. All of her advice and suggestions have been excellent and completely trustworthy. I have felt so fortunate to be a patient here, and the excellent doctors on staff. I developed the cloudy-patch kind of eye floaters shortly before my first cataract surgery. They are like pervasive cobwebs that float continually across my center vision, such that nothing is ever truly in focus. Laser treatment has really helped!

Dr Epitropoulos is very professional and very knowledgeable and very through. She helped correct my problem with my dry eyes. Her staff helped with managing the cost of the drops for me. The drops were unaffordable for me until they helped me manage the cost problems. I do not have any insurance so the office staff took their time in helping me lower the cost to where I could get my medications. Before my treatments I had awful red eyes and it was very depressing and hard to try to work that way. It is a night and day difference after the treatments she has done. Now my eyes feel much better and I do not have to try to hide behind sunglasses while working.

Dr Epitropoulos has allowed me to free myself from a lifetime of glasses. She also has improved my vision by allowing me to continue reading and sightseeing during my retirement. The multifocal lenses have allowed visual experiences, especially on computers that I have thoroughly enjoyed . They also have improved my distance vision more than I thought possible.

Dr Epi was suggested to us by Ohio State University because our vision had become a major concern for us - At any age vision so enhances quality of life - BUT - especially as senior citizens - in plain talk - our low vision was causing us anxiety - we met Dr Epi & found her so caring, concerned, compassionate to insure our vision problems - with the process of Lipiflow as well as the operation of cataracts. We are so grateful for the quality of Dr Epi as well as all the staff @ Ophthalmic Surgeons At The Eye Center.
