American Board of OphthalmologyPatient Rating
4.7 /5( out of 161 reviews )The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers.
The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient Comments
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety.
Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.October 31, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERThe doctor was ok. He was with some students. Perhaps that is why I did not receive post op instructions. At my 2 wk check up he asked if I was wearing my eye shield? I was never given a shield, I was never told about a shield. So I had to go back in and pick it up from the front desk. I live in Lehi, the office was at the hospital in Salt Lake. I also have a scar but he says it should subside. The shield was intended to be used in the first couple weeks. When I informed him I had no idea about a shield. I asked if it mattered since it already had been 2 weeks. He stumbled a little bit, I am assuming because he realized I was given NO instruction. He said sure it wouldn't hurt and then after I asked he explained what the shield did. Luckily I sleep with a silk eye mask, that protected my eye.
October 30, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERIs the way the Left was mentioned in treating tears from eye drop and the scratching of the right eye and having terrific clean and clear lence to my eyes it went well went great doing well
October 30, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERGreat Doctor
October 17, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERWonderful doctor. It is obvious that he has a lot of experience. He is also very kind and personable. He knows what he is doing and has confidence in the outcome and will be honest on what to expect.
October 17, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERVery helpful and did a great job on the surgery!
