Kimberly C Ireland's Online Review Report Card

Wonderful caring, thorough and professional office from check in to check out!

Dr Ireland is a wonderful, caring provider. She unfortunately is overworked and a bit rushed. But my experience at St Luke's was excellent in every aspect.

This was the most efficient and effective visit I've had to a medical facility in my entire lifetime.

Dr Ireland provided thorough medical diagnosis of my eye site issues and a prescription for my corrective eye glasses. I have a follow up appointment with her at the end of the month. I will bring my new glasses and she will continue to evaluate my eyes. I am very pleased with Dr Ireland and I highly recommend her.

Dear Dr. Ireland and StaffThank you so much for the exceptional care I received during my two procedures. Several years ago you performed cataract surgery and early this year secondary laser cataract removal. Both times I was so impressed by the professional way I was treated by you and your wonderful and caring staff. Even though there were many patients I felt like I was the only one to be seen. I wish you could pass on your secrets in how to treat and care for a patient to many other doctor offices and their staff.Thank you again and by the way my eye sight is terrific.Also your facility in my opinion rates a 10 plus.Sincerely,Monika Bonner

Very efficient office. Everyone knows their job and the office runs smoothly and in a timely manner.I called in with a question, it was answered immediately and did not require a call back. I found this very refreshing.

Great place to go for great eye care. Great doctor and staff.

I had one cataract removed two months ago (11/5/18). My vision had deteriorated to the point that I needed extra light and a magnifying glass just to read my Sudoku puzzles or the ingredients on a label. Forget about reading a book. Reading music was difficult. And I hadn't done any artwork in years. As a musician and an artist, to be essentially unable to see was devastating.Before the cataract surgery, my left eye couldn't focus at any focal length at all, and astigmatism was also an issue. I opted for the $2,000 upgrade to laser surgery that would correct the astigmatism.The morning after the surgery, I was amazed, because I could read the fine print on everything (with neither light nor correction) -- and the lens that had been put in was a "distance" lens! Over the next two months, I experienced needing sunglasses for a week or two, as the sudden influx of light was (wonderfully) different, but I've gotten used to it. I also experienced a "jaggy" light-flashing effect that I've read about -- "vibrations" in my peripheral vision, much like what a fluorescent light does. But that has gone away.My right eye still has a cataract (characterized as "mild"), so the vision in the eye is more sepia-toned, and the eye is slightly near-sighted. But the upshot is that with both eyes together, I can see nearly perfectly at ALL focal lengths without correction. It is a joy to drive now and be able to see street signs well in advance.The greatest joy of all is that I can now see to read and do artwork without correction (and, thus, without the slight distortions presented by lenses). I've attached the first drawing I did in 2019. (It's from a stock photo that I bought rights to. I chose that image because of its mood and strong contrast. Not having drawn for many years, I wanted to give myself a jump-start by using a photograph as reference.)So, I'm going to keep my right eye the way it is until/if it becomes intolerable. (A distance lens would be put in, meaning I'd need correction to see close up, and I like things the way they are right now.)St. Luke's at The Villages -- specifically, Dr. Ireland -- changed my life dramatically by correcting that left eye. The gift of being able to do artwork again is precious.

Dr. Ireland runs a smooth running machine in her office. The professionalism, thoroughness, expertise is unprecedented. Dr. Ireland is direct with me, but I have come to understand the unbelievable level of professionalism and time management that must be present.

Excellent that starts at the front desk and continue's all the way to an Excellent Doctor who cares about her patients from beginning to end!!!!!!
