UIC Medical Center Ophthalmology

Hey, it don't get any better than Dr. Elmer Tu. How Dr. Tu sees so many patients, and gives each patient a small but accurate bit of his expertise is amazing. Yes, there may be a wait period, but those patients complaining just don't understand Dr. Tu's patient load.
Dr. Tu has protected my vision on several occasions; stop complaining and rest assured that Dr. Tu will rescue and protect your vision!

Excellent

It’s a very long waiting period more than 4 hours by over all good doctors

Nearly 4 hrs of wait time for basic eye check up. Ridiculous! .... Note: (Bring lunch).

Don’t even bother trying to set up an appointment at this place it’s terrible!!! The girls that work at the front desk are extremely rude and unprofessional. They can never give you a straight answer. Setting up an appointment even WITH A REFERRAL is a nightmare!! You have to wait for the clinic to call you, and if you happen to miss the call because you’re a working adult, then you have to wait another two days for them to get around to it to set up an appointment with you. This is the most runaround I’ve ever had to deal with at a doctors office. Please save your time and energy and just go somewhere else that is more professional. Read the reviews!

This place has great doctors who the University (run by corrupt administrators) likes to overbook. Most patients at this public hospital are on medicare or Medicaid so they are trying to push in as many patients as possible to bill the federal government at highest costs possible and so they can pad their salaries. So expect to wait a long time to see the doctor. And don’t complain because no one cares. They will just pretend they care.

Be ready to wait to get accommodated over 4 hours! Tried to schedule an appointment , called before 4th of July next available appointment only next year in January?! No specialists available to treat people with their vision it’s unprofessional. It’s our eyes!

Long waiting time, only for a doctor to tell us that the staff from the University emergency room sent us to the wrong location. Go next door to the other eye clinic location and then told it's the wrong location again. The receptionist calls back to this location and told that we need to go back and wait again. Waste of a morning and missed a day of work.

Terrible service. Had to wait 3 hours just to check in.

4hr wait ridiculous!!
