Dr. Isernhagen (Dr. Blake) hands down is an exceptional doctor! My son (14yrs old) has been on this horrible road with Uveitis. Dr. Blake since day one has explained everything thoroughly. I feel like he's always been very straight forward and honest. When I call the office worried I always get a call back the same day. He's still doing everything he can to find the underlying cause of my son's problem.
He most definitely never makes us feel like he's in a hurry to get to his next patient. I'm extremely happy with the professionalism, knowledge and care that he provides! Dr Blake is the best - Anya

Dr. Blake Isernhagan (AKA Dr. Blake) is the most compassionate, smart, and caring doctor ever! He is knowledgeable, calm, and has the best bedside manner. He never seems hurried or impatient and is always willing to explain any treatment or answer any questions one might have. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional eye care.

My dad has been coming here for a while now and from the staff that checks us in and all the nurses and drs he does see are nothing but absolutely amazing people! He had an appointment this morning and when I went to pick him back up my battery had died on my car. The nurse Heather took time out of her busy day to get her vehicle and come give us a jump. All the staff here is friendly and very helpful! Thank you all for taking such good care of dad when he is in your hands.

I have not even got to experience a doctor because of the poor work of the scheduling team. My doctor scheduled an appointment for me for Frankfort and the scheduler put my appointment in Louisville, not telling me, I assume frankfort, because that what my doctor told me he set. I took off work (loss of pay) and gas only to drive to frankfort sit on the parking lot, doors locked at that office, call and find out it was in lousiville. An 1 and 30 minutes away. Really? Scheduler did not give gove me their names.
They should tell you when answering or scheduling who they are so when this happens they be repranded for it. Especially when they have taken our money and time away that at this time we need.

After almost 3 years of treatment for diabetic retinopathy, I have been cheated by them for the last time. They ordered medicine through my express scripts account posting as me. Drained my bank account. I did not agree to this change. Money hungry disrespectful staff. The only Dr in the practice worth seeing is Dr Wood.
