Columbus Ophthalmology Associates - Michael S Bloom

Had cataract surgery last year by Dr. McHale. I feel like I had a totally brand new eye put in as I can see things clearly WITHOUT eyeglasses since I was a boy. My peripheral vision returned just as the new lens was attached. The operation went as smoothly as a routine dentist visit. I was totally amazed at how easy the surgery went. I heartily recommend anyone who has cataracts or thinks they may have them to consult COA

Dr McHale and your team are awesome! Wish all my doctors were as articulate and personable as you are. Thank you so much!

Hey, this is the place to go if you don't mind sitting in the waiting room an hour or more. The front office registration staff is very efficient, cordial and helpful. The front and back door elevator works well and you get to see who rides up and doesn't know to turn around to exit on floor 2. You get to hear all the questions asked at the registration desk and while some have to do with medical situations, many are related to paying the bill.

You get to watch people getting new glasses in the optical shop and listen to the conversations those employees have with the patients, er clients. Not a very interesting or exciting environment, but the lighting is cool.

After two years I'm leaving. Sat for 60 minutes and watched the waiting room turn over 2 or 3 times while i sat there wondering. It was a pressure check that took 10 minutes max with about 3 minutes of the Dr.'s time. Quick tip to the staff and Doctors - you are not the most important people in the building - your patients are. Treat them like it. I wont be back and discourage others - find someone else!

Dr. Mchale is the best. I have been going for years. Not only does he takes care of me with glasses and frames. But also did my cataract surgery. Vert professional, vwry patient and also fun.i highly recommend COA.

Dr. Kancherla, Dr. Carey, and their team were so incredible to work with! My LASIK was an incredible experience with no pain and incredible results. This team made me feel comfortable with the surgery and recovery. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering LASIK!

I trust my ongoing eye care to Dr Burns and his staff. He is personable and professional. Easy to book appointments and very little wait when arriving at the office. I think Dr. Burns has a great follow up system, reminding of upcoming appointments via email and texts. What a nice staff! I actually had fun at my last visit to the doctor. That doesn't happen often!

I had cataract surgery with Dr Derick and PRK with Dr Kancherla. Even though I encountered some complications, I found both doctors to be extremely competent and caring. Every part of the office, from the receptionists to technicians to schedulers (and, especially Jackson) run like a well-oiled machine but still treat you as a valued patient. I now have "super human " reading ability and better than 20/20 distance vision. I am extremely happy.

The Columbus Opthamology Associates organization is more than deserving of 10 stars. From the attentive and professional reception staff to the post op medical staff, Dr. McHale and crew has made my cataract surgery experience simply wonderful. The process every step of the way has been designed with the patient in mind. My recommendation to anyone seeking services from COA is to trust them.and ask for Dr. McHale.

Dr. James McHale was great! Very quick and painless! Easier then the lasik eye surgery I had more than 15 years ago. Could see better within 24 hours! I only had to have one eye done for cataract surgery but when it comes time for the other one I will definitely go back! Plus he's a Buckeye grad!
