Eye technician is very friendly and thorough. This would be the tech who performs the eye chart exam and determines what lenses are recommended for reading glasses. Very helpful and courteous.

This appointment took two hours, most of it just waiting. Dr. Kinast was very kind, professional and helpful. However, only 15 minutes of that time was spent with him, and perhaps another 15 minutes with his assistant. It would have been nice to get done with it in an hour.

[details deleted to protect privacy] My wife saw Dr. Mansberger last summer, and we were extremely happy with him and Devers. So, for my second surgery, we would not go anywhere else but Devers!

I was referred to Dr. Kinast by Dr. Pasadhika who has previously address several retinal tears. The referral was to examine me for glaucoma. I have a more extensive examination schedule [details deleted to protect privacy].

This was for a consultation, second opinion for a prior surgery at another hospital. I had a good experience, (love Good Sam) and the Dr. helped me with future options I had not been aware of and were important to know. [details deleted to protect privacy]

Dr. Kinast is a very patient, considerate and compassionate provider. He listens, asks questions and is not in a hurry to throw you out of his office.

I left after waiting more than an hour past my appointment time. My disability doesn't allow me to hold regular work, but I volunteer with local schools. If I'd stayed until Dr. Kinast could make the time, I would've blown off a critical meeting with one of my schools. My reputation is too important for that. In the future, please make an attempt to honor appointment schedules. I lost four hours of a busy day.

Dr. Kinast very thorough, personable, and respectful. Front office respectful when engaging but often lets patient wait while on computer or talking to another office person.

Dr. Kinast was patient and helpful when I was in a poor mental state about my situation and diagnosis, making me feel as comfortable as possible and continuing to provide options to provide my best care.

Always a pleasure to see Dr. Kinast and staff. They are very good to me: professional with a personal touch that I like having grown up [location deleted]. The surgery that Dr. Kinast performed on both my eyes was fast, comfortable with an easy recovery. My eyesight was restored to beyond average 20/20. I see as though I were 20 yrs old again, both distance and close-up vision. My gratitude to all the staff.

I had a good visit overall. The intake team did a great job getting all of my information prior to the visit and I even needed to reschedule and that was a positive and convenient experience. I was told to arrive 15 minutes early for my 8:00 appointment, but the staff was in a meeting until 8. I was the first patient there, waited the 15 minutes patiently, but when the office staff arrived other patients were served before me. In the waiting area, the patient care representative closest to the office cannot visualize all of the waiting area or vice versa, so I'm not even certain I was seen. I am flexible and understand making time for staff meetings, but I wouldn't have rushed to get there early just to wait. Paul was exceptional--friendly, personable, and did a great job clinically. I appreciated the expertise of Dr. Kinast and he gave me good instructions for what to do. However, at the end of the appointment I didn't get any conclusion such as "if you continue to have issues please feel free to contact me, here's my card" and I showed myself out so he could stay in the room to document versus being walked to the exit. I had an overall good experience, but hope this feedback helps to make the service even better.

I actually learned important information about my health care that no one else had accurately explained. Now that I am aware of how important and what changes are made to the eyes because of uncontrolled blood sugars I will be fart more proactive about my diabetes than anything else that has been explained to me about it.

it would be helpful if providers had some background info on patient e.g. level of education, current life situation so they aren't condescending and speak at the level at patient understands. I liked the doctor very much and would go back but he seemed rush and had been running late so I didn't feel comfortable asking additional questions.

Dr. Kinast was excellent. He listened to my symptoms and explained the next steps in treatment very well. The office was not well run. It seemed that there was a great deal of confusion between the staff and physicians. The staff ran around looking in the exam room peep holes to find the physicians. Also, at the second floor check out, I was told that "we are a separate clinic up here and you might have to go back downstairs to schedule your follow up appointment." Really?? Also, patients who were waiting to be seen were frequently going up to the receptionist asking "how much longer is my wait and where am I in line to be seen." The office administration needs to work on patient flow, scheduling and the patient experience. It's a good thing that Dr. Kinast was worth putting up with this operational mess of a clinic.

Paul was the BEST, he is the best Assistant I have ever worked with. I am interested in perusing a career in this field because of Paul.

Dr. Kinast is clearly an excellent physician. He listened completely to my questions and concerns. He also answered with great knowledge and provided additional information that would help me down the road. I could not rate him higher since your chart only goes to 10!

This was a first year out exam after cataract surgery. Dr. Kinast is wonderful!

I thought the eye exam by the technician was bad. I had to have it re-done after I determined my new glasses were inadequate. My feeling is he should not have been using only one letter on the chart to make the final determination. It should have been a group of letters to get a better idea of the effect of each option. All the "fine tuning" was done with the letter "v." It was very difficult to make a call on the effect of each lens. I thought Dr. Kinast was fine.

Too much wait time. Waited 30 mins past my appointment to get called back. Waited another 30+ mins in the room to be seen. Perhaps you could have called me and told me you were running an hour late, I would have showed up later. I wouldn't wait for a friend that showed up an hour late, why should I wait for my doctor whose an hour late?
