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.

Unprofessional staff
I have a neurological disorder similar to Parkinsons. The technician was an older woman who was nothing but mean to be.I felt discriminated against for being handicapped . She refused to work in my eyes.She literally bruises my forehead, and she was extremely rude to me.Thankfully, they sent me to a young technician, who was polite and very patient. She was amazing and she was very professional. Be careful who the tech is . The older tech is a nightmare..My cataract surgery went very well , but I do not approve of the way I was treated

The BEST!
Dr Kunesh knows all there is to know about eyes. The practice is very busy but you have his full attention when you see him. The testing and evaluation is extensive. That combined with Dr Kunesh’s expertise makes me feel I am in very competent hands. My cataract surgeries are a total success, with my new far sighted vision at 20-20. Thank you, Dr. Kunesh. I have highly recommended you to everyone.

left eye to restore vision blurred by cataract
I had the cataract surgery in Connecticut a couple of years ago. Over time the left eye became blurry, which I was told is something that often happens.. The laser surgery that was done by Dr. John Kunesh was not only painless, but restored my vision to 2015 which it had never been before. All of the staff at the Kunesh facility are pleasant and courteous at all times. The whole experience not only successful, but very pleasant to have done. I had the right eye done over a year ago and was so looking forward to the procedure again. I was not disappointed.

Best eye surgeon in the State of Ohio
Total professionalism within the complete staff. From pre exams, to the Doctors, to accounting! Prompt appointments and always with a smile. I've already suggested Dr. John Kunesh to friends. My cataract surgery with implants for my astigmatism was a complete success. 20 20 in both eyes. No glasses after 30 years in bifocals. What's not to love. Dr. Kunesh was amazing.

Outstanding care by Dr. John & his entire team
From the moment I walked into the busy, bustling office, I was greeted with care and kindness by all. There was a sense of strong, cooperative community. The office reminds me of a finely timed watch, with all the pieces moving in synch to provide outstanding care to all patients. Communications by all was outstanding; everyone I encountered along the way for my cataract surgery was professional, helpful, responsive and caring. There was a lot of diagnostics, tests, and information collected. Dr. John was very efficient and effective, focused and friendly, immediately putting me at ease and full assurance that I was getting the best care and was at the “right place”. I highly recommend Dr. John and this practice for cataract surgery.

A 20/20 Doctor
Dr. Kunesh is, in one word, wonderful. He is extremely professional and has a calm approach. He is reliable snd trustworthy.; he is detailed oriented. When I needed to reach him outside of office hours, he responded immediately. The entire staff worked well together as a team and treated me kindly. I was nervous about having cataract surgery, but with Dr. Kunesh in the lead, it was a positive experience. I have never seen better! I love my “new eyes”!

Dr. John is super, highly skilled & kind.
I have gone to Kunesh for annual eye exams throughout the years. All the Kunesh staff are well organized, friendly & knowledgeable doing their specific tasks. From the receptionists & schedulers to the many assistants and finally to Dr. John's surgical team -- all were super! They all work as a very cohesive team each time I have been there. This year, I had cataract surgeries in both eyes and am happy to report I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes!! Dr. John and each team member thoroughly explained each detail of the prep, procedures and follow-up instructions and helped me through the entire process. I recommend Dr. John and his team to all my family & friends. It is reassuring to me to know I can count on Dr. John and his team for any eye issues I may have in the future. Appreciate them all.

Excellent care by Dr. Kunesh
Dr. Kunesh performed cataract surgery in both eyes and my vision is now 20/20 in both eyes. Before surgery, I was 20/50 in one eye and 20/30 in the other. Both Dr. Kunesh and his staff were very professional and caring before, during and after my surgery. I would highly recommend him for any type of eyecare. I was his patient for years before I needed cataract surgery.

I am very thankful to Dr. John Kunesh for the skill and care he showed me. I came needing cataract surgery and had 20/150 vision in my strong eye. The day after the procedure my vision was 20/20!! Never had pain or swelling at all and healed quickly. I was told by a different doctor that because of the shape of my eye it would be challenging to expect a good outcome but Dr. Kunesh didn’t mention any obstacles, a testament of his skill and competence. I definitely recommend Dr. Kunesh and am so glad I found him.
