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.

Thank You!
Dr Klugo and her staff took great care of me each and every visit. I had advanced cataracts in both eyes and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor or surgeon.

While blood test came back negative, Dr. Klugo referred me to a neurological opthamalogist to further pursue a diagnosis. He was able to confirm her original suspicions.

I really like Dr Karen Klugo because of her compassion and understanding. She is aware of my other medical issues and therefore make sure she takes that in account when I have an appointment. She has great expertise and it shows when I present my list of questions or concerns. She and her staff work well together…. Smoothly and effectively.

Great doctor!
Saw me right away and whole experience was good. There was a delay getting my prescription sunglasses but they apologized and even gave me a pair of loaner Maui Jim’s and some free contacts

Great doctor but bad experience overall
I came in for an appointment to order new contact lenses and have my prescription sunglasses fixed. When I arrived they told me I had to have an evaluation to get new contacts even though I’d been buying them for years from this doctor. But they said the person who needed to do it wasn’t there. They told me they would repair my sunglasses and add my new prescription before a trip but yesterday they said they won’t be ready. Very unhappy with this experience and I will be looking for a new doctor if I don’t get my sunglasses for my trip

I developed a very irritating eye problem and OTC products were not helping. I was able to get a quick appt and subsequent relief.

The staff and Dr. Klugo are always highly professional. The office is very efficient and I have seldom had more than a short wait. Dr. Klugo is always ready to answer any questions you might have. My husband and I have each had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Klugo and couldn’t be more pleased. We are happy to refer any friends to her with no reservations.

My recent visit strengthened my decision many years ago to change ophthalmologists. Dr. Klugo explains and/or discusses any questions I may have prior, during, or after my visit. My previous eye doctor did not. I highly recommend Dr. Klugo.
