Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fantastic Service
Dr. Kardasis performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. Prior to surgery with patience, he explained the status of my eyes, discussed my lifestyle hopefulness, options available through surgery to attain desired results, insurance coverage and post-surgery expectations including post op limitations. Surgery success, follow up in recovery and after care in-office visits enhanced the wonderfulness of my new vision reality. Dr. Kardasis's manner throughout this life event exuded not only professionalism but also compassion and consideration that put me at ease to with his help accomplish sight goals. He has been my ophthalmologist for a number of years and will continue to be so.

The Absolute Best
Dr Kardasis and team are the greatest. I had strabismus for many years and Dr Kardasis performed the surgery. I am very satisfied with the results. I had a consult prior to the Covid-19 epidemic and I immediately felt the passion and real concern for improving my condition. Although it took my 5 years to get up enough courage to get it done, I'm very satisfied with the results and truly happy that I chose the absolute best in the business.Thank you Dr. Kardasis

I had cataract surgery on both eyes. The results are amazing. The Dr is skilled and personable. He never makes you feel rushed and takes the time to answer all your questions. I have already referred him to others.

Excellent Doctor
He did my Cataract surgery, and the results were nothing short of phenomenal. I wore glasses from an early age, but after the surgery, I only need reading glasses. He explained things in an easy to understand way, and I highly recommend him.

Office Visit
Dr. Kardasis is very knowledgeable, but he has no regard for his patient's time. If you have a 10 am appointment, you may get to see him at 11:30am. Plus, the office needs to be cleaned and a new coat of pain and new chairs for the patients would be great.

An Excellent Doctor
Dr. Kardasis made my cataract removals a painless and easy experience. He is very patient, friendly, and offers clear explanations each step of the way. Dr. Kardasis put me at ease so I had no anxiety. And best of all, my eyesight is awesomely better, just as he promised. His office staff is professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Kardasis!

Dr. Kardasis was knowledgeable and informative doing my visit. However, over a one hour wait to be seen! After the dilating drops were put in my eyes, I realized the doctor had not washed his hands when he left the room as I sat waiting an additional 15-20 minutes. Furthermore, the black 'thingy' one hold to cover an eye to see the exam chart was never cleaned as it laid on the counter, no antiseptic wipes displayed. Upon entering the office, ventilation was terrible, along with the stench in the office that should had been my clue to leave then. Eventually, i left while in the exam room knowing return visits would yield the same uncleanliness, wait time due to overbooking patients, and could not phantom having surgery for possible cataract removal.

Cataract Surgery
I recently had cataract surgery with Dr. Kardasis at South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, Il. Although I was a little nervous at first, Dr. K put me at ease and the surgery went very well. There was very little discomfort and recovery time was minimal. I have been seeing Dr. K for 25-30 years and I feel he is an outstanding physician. He takes his time with all his patients and he communicates very well. I highly recommend him!!

The Ideal Ophthalmologist
At my first appointment Dr. Kardasis was most informative, answered all my questions, made me feel at ease with the idea of cataract surgery. His skill I believe is extraordinary and bedside manner is exceptional. My second surgery was no different than the first - he was attentive before and after surgery, again quite informative, calming and reassuring. Follow up visits proved that any and all of my concerns were addressed, answered and cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any and all eye care!

I am now armed with 20/20 vision, and ready retake and past that test as my "eye game" is now on point.

I'm a patient of Dr Kardasis and I was seeing him because I was diagnosed with Glaucoma. In recent years I developed Cataracts that progressively have gotten worse. I'm in my mid fifties and is extremely nearsighted and noticed that my sight was diminishing. Dr Kardasis told me how he can remove my cataracts and insert lens implants into my eyes to improve my vision and perhaps be able to see without wearing my glasses. I really didn't think this was possible, but I believed in what he said. Dr Kardasis performed surgery on my eyes in June 2021 and removed my cataracts, inserted an IStent device to help control my eye pressure and also, implanted lens into my eye and now I can see without my glasses. I'm able to perform everyday task without my glasses and I got a new prescription to use for distance. I couldn't imagine that this would be possible for me being I wore very thick glasses since childhood. I will recommend Dr Kardasis to my family & friends he's a Great doctor!

Dr. Kardasis is very professional, yet very kind. He made me feel comfortable and secure in his ability to give me my vision back. I had cataracts removed from both eyes and after 55 years of wearing heavy glasses I no longer need them. If you are having vision problems, do yourself a favor and contact my doctor, Dr. Kardasis!
