I found Dr. McCarthy's office through my insurance's website and I'm very happy I found them. I had an emergency and they were able to fit me in right away. The office staff and technicians are amazingly efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Dr. McCarthy is very thorough and explained the process very clearly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an ophthalmologist.

My appointment was canceled without notice after receiving confirmation. Very disappointed and unprofessional. Do not recommend a doctor’s office who doesn’t value peoples time.

I was a little apprehensive at first when I got here, since it was eerily quiet. The classical music radio station was playing, which unfortunately was playing some intense music and didn't help my initial perception of the vibe. The decor is definitely dated. It's your classic 90s weird patterned vinyl chairs. The optical store was closed. It is a huge office space. There were signs posted on the plexiglass at the reception desk, such that you could not see who you were talking to, so that was also weird.The technician and optometrist were really nice though. Even though my appointment started 10 minutes late, they were quick and efficient and I was able to get out of there within the hour.I paid for parking, since it was unclear whether the spots behind the building were available for customers to use.I don't know if I'd come back only because I'd rather be able to walk to appointments over driving, but would recommend in terms of how easy it was.

This is one shady business. I was told over the phone that the cost for a glasses prescription was $60. Once you get there, they charge you $60 up front. When I asked the person who actually tested for the glasses prescription if she was an optometrist, she answered yes, but later mentioned she was a "tech", not an optometrist. They then tack on and charge $150 for an "initial eye exam" (not including a retinal exam) by Dr. McCarthy. They billed my insurance which paid $50, and charged me another $50 a few weeks later. A total of $160 for a glasses prescription done by a tech! If they upcharge for a Glasses Prescription, I hate to think how they'd bill for a real eye problem. Steer clear!! There are better, honest places in the area --check out Kirk Eye Center or Family Eye Care, both in River Forest.

I had a good first visit so I decided to bring my second son... I was treated rudely and disrespectfully by the office lady... I get we all have bad days but I do not tolerate disrespect and condescending tones... we are all human being and we should all be treated with kindness... not going back there again.

Professional and friendly staff, from the lady at the front desk to doctor’s assistant to the doctors for himself. I was out within an hour. Would definitely recommended this place. They also accept certain public aid.

I order some Versace frames from McCarthy Eye Center it has not been a whole year and they have broken. I called and spoke with a person whom advise it will not be a problem they will order me a new frame it will be ready in two weeks. They call me back 3 hours later to tell me they cannot order me a new frame, I will need to purchase them on my own. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
