Joseph Gira's Online Review Report Card

I was very happy with my first appointment even though I was apprehensive. Had cataract surgery over a six week period and it was more than I hoped for.

Worst care possible, not just the surgeon but the entire set up. Patients are run through test after test without any explanation. I told the surgeon At my first consultation that I knew the refractions for my eyes were wrong, but he said they could adjust that at the time of surgery. He also talked me into paying $3,000 for astigmatism correction which didn’t happen. The surgery center is a huge room of patients in beds waiting for surgery with no personal care whatsoever. The surgeons never come out to talk to patients beforehand. I felt rushed out the door after both cataract surgeries. The DOs during after checks kept telling me I have 20/20 vision which I knew wasn’t true. I’ve been back in for more surgery in February with no improvement, so now I’ll have more surgery March 26 for which they will pay. So uncaring and so incorrect. Clarkson Eyecare sent me here. I do not recommend this place to anyone ever.

Dr. Gira may be a very good doctor, but I only spoke to him for a few minutes. when I called back with questions before my cataract surgery, the staff was very rude. Dr. Gira does not speak to you during surgery and the appointments afterwards are very brief with another doctor. Also, be sure to check and see if the Anesthesia is in network, because it is billed separately and is usually out-of-network so you will pay full price

While Dr Gira and his office services are in network, the Anesthesia services are not, but they do not tell you this so be sure to check. Also everyone is so rushed that, while Dr. Gira may be a great doctor, the office visits are very rushed.

I have received two surgeries from Dr. Gira outside of the St. Louis area. He personally called us and checked-in and provided information. He also thoroughly answered all of our questions and calmed all our fears. He is a very personable doctor whom adds in humor.

My husband had cateract surgery on both eyes by Dr Gira. He was very efficient, professional & explained every step and method that was going to happen. His staff is also amazing! Extremely helpful and caring. They answer every question or concern you have & go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. My husband’s far-sighted AND near-sighted vision has improved immensely! We would recommend Dr Gira & his great staff to everyone we know (and don’t know! Ha)

He is both knowledgeable and an expert in his field. He is gentle and answers questions throughly. He is a busy man but well worth the wait.

As a patient of Dr Gira for almost 20 years I have found that he is an excellent doctor with a friendly demeanor. Recent cataract surgery improved my vision immensely. Thank you Dr Gira and your staff.

Dr. Gira takes the time to listen to his patients. He explains the diagnosis/situation so that it is easy to understand and he asks if we have questions. Both Dr. Gira and his staff are kind and helpful.

Dr. Gira performed my cataract surgerys last March. He is an outstanding surgeon. Very personable and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Gira for cataract surgery.
