Your eyes are constantly changing – even if you’ve had perfect vision your entire life.
Our roots date back to 1916, and we continue to expand as Northern Colorado develops. We see patients at five locations in Fort Collins as well as in satellite offices in Eastern Colorado, Arvada, and Wyoming. In each location and throughout the communities we serve, we’re dedicated to supporting your vision goals and increasing access to specialty eye care across Northern Colorado.
Dr. Smith and his team, along with the full support staff at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado, are exemplary professionals in every way. I just finished up with cataract surgery on both eyes, and I’ve never had such a highly skilled and caring team as I had with Dr. Smith’s team. His assistant Cole is truly amazing as well. He’s so knowledgeable and kind. And Dr. Smith is a brilliant surgeon. The entire office is run by a highly choreographed team of support staff, technicians, nurses, and doctors. The wait time between each stage is next to none. And each team member I was seen by tended to my every need, answered questions, and made sure I felt completely relaxed and comfortable, which I did! Getting prepped before the procedure (a warm blanket and pillows under my knees—so nice!) was a breeze, and the care nurses were amazing. Then the surgery itself— it was virtually painless! And not only was there no pain, there wasn’t even a sensation of pressure. The surgery is super short too. To sum it up—easy peasy. Nothing to it. They did a great job! I’m so glad I found this office! I can’t recommend them enough. A+!
Byron was great to work with. We had a complicated order involving two pair of glasses with different prescriptions. He handled all the details with ease and was very helpful. We will ask for him next time.
Dr. Smith at Eye Center of Northern Colorado is a "no holds barred" eye surgeon. By this I mean highly skilled, perfectionist, diagnostically on target and picks a team to work along side of him that Do the same! Cole, his diagnostic assistant is smart, efficient and compliments the whole visit. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the skill and results of our annual visits, surgeries and follow ups👏 Actually, the whole staff at the center are friendly, smart and efficient. Make an appointment soon!!
Byron was very professional, and knowledgeable. He was very helpul in explaing things to me and I had many questions. I enjoyed his dry sense of humor. Sweet man.
“This marks a new chapter in my life—one I never thought possible. After relying on glasses and contact lenses since I was 10 years old, I can finally see the world with perfect clarity. Thanks to Dr. Smith and the miracle of a multifocal lens transplant, I now have 20/20 vision. For the first time in decades, I wake up and see everything clearly—no glasses, no lenses, just a new sense of freedom and gratitude I can’t put into words.
Dr. CREWS, was very attentive and did my surgery perfectly. I highly recommend Dr. Crews. Ron
Dr. Mayer, Dr. Cheney are our Doctors. We have been with Eyecare Center of Northern Colorado for over 35 years! They are the BEST!
Emergency retina surgery 7 tears and tore past my macula. Dr Gange is amazing and unbelievably skilled.There really is no words to describe my experience BUT AMAZING. He made no promises his goal was to get my previous 20/20 vision to be legally able to drive. I write this review 11 weeks after my surgery and I have been blessed last week to read some of the 20/20 line. Now, I followed everything to the T regarding REHAB Dr Gange told me and then some. I’m 58 years old and I am blessed to have eye sight restored in my eye. Amazing retina Dr. and I can’t thank him enough for what he was able to do for me. Thanks Dr. Gange…..
In an age when customer service is declining everywhere in our country, this organization is a delightful exception. Everyone who works there, from the nurses, assistants, technicians and doctors, are committed to the patient's comfort and successful outcomes. I had a pair of cataract surgeries from Doctor Smith. He was exceptional. His flexibility, professionalism and wisdom in delivering my care was unsurpassed, from my experience. Clearly, every single member of the entire team has been led to be the best advocates and support for the patients of this group. I cannot recommend this organization highly enough for whatever care you need related to eyes.
Dr. Korotikin is the BEST! I had a previous surgery at another location a year ago and it was so painful I almost didn't want to ever have a eye surgery again! I had to do my other eye this year and chose to go to Dr. Korotikin and it was the best decision! The procedure was relatively painless, just a little discomfort, but not much. If I ever need eye surgery again I know where to go. So grateful!
I want to commend Dr. Foster and the wonderful and thoroughly professional staff at the Eye Center Of Northern Colorado! Almost 70, I've worn glasses since the age of six. That's when I suffered a minor concussion from an incoming swing on the playground! The world was a very fuzzy and confusing place that I couldn't quite see. Through the years my eyes got progressively worse. Entering the final chapters of my life cataracts developed making it that much more difficult to see and navigate while driving. As a result I became more isolated staying home and driving only when necessary. Having cataract and corrective surgery has changed the direction of my life dramatically. Colors and details are so vivid it's like discovering a whole new world! I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Foster who is a masterful surgeon. Thank also to everyone there who assured that I was comfortable at all times. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Sonja Anderson
The cataract surgery I had went great. I can't believe how well I can see now! I was a little apprehensive at first, but the folks at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado and my surgeon Dr. Smith, did a great job of explaining everything along the way and the surgery was so easy. Thanks for everything!
The surgical team are all outstanding. Shoutouts in particularly to Cassie in pre-op, she is a 10 out of 10; competent, kind, thoughtful and good empathetic communicator. Allison and Haley on the surgery side we’re awesome care providers. And never underestimate the importance of the front desk team, their good work sets the tone for a good overall experience, and that’s what we experienced for both surgeries. Thank you
I have had great success at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado with both LASIK and cataract surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone.
My cat jumped on my head in the middle of the night trying to escape from the bed. Luckily, my eyes were closed but his back paws landed on my eye. I received several scratches on my outer eye but he also clawed the corner of my eyeball. I called the Eye Center first thing in the morning and they worked me in that morning to see Dr. Smith. He and his team thoroughly examined my injuries and determined that I needed surgery. Dr. Smith had me added to his surgery schedule that evening. My eye is almost healed and I am grateful for Dr. Smith and the entire team for taking such great care of me.
My mom and I actually enjoy coming to her appts. Staff is so nice, polite and caring and make the atmosphere feel inviting and relaxing. Dr. Cotton is incredible I wish all Dr's were like him.
Sometimes I have to wait but this group has terrific doctors who care about their patients. Many staff members work hard to serve their patients. Thank you for the superior level of expertise.
Best eye care place in town! All of the doctors here are super nice and accepting! I will miss Dr. Kelly Crews, but will continue my eye care here!
Having suffered with vitreous floaters for the better part of 30 years I had all but given up hope of having clear vision again. Multiple doctors told me to just ignore them . But as I got older they only got worse to the point of looking like floating opaque globs in my eyes. I met with Dr.Gange last year who advised me to have cataract surgery first, then he would address my floaters. Cataracts done and two victrectomies later I have clear, unobstructed vision. I feel like I have been given my life back and am very grateful to Dr. Bashford (cataract surgeon), Dr. Gange, and the staff at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado for a very positive and supportive experience. I will continue to trust them with my future vision care.
Eye Center of Northern Colorado takes patient care to an entirely new level. All of the staff is so friendly and communicate so well. They get the patient in and out without wasting the patient’s time and the care is second to none. I would recommend them to all my friends and family!
All the staff was very helpful and friendly as was the technician Laura and Dr Mayer
I saw Dr. Korotkin because the vision in my right eye was getting worse quickly. I had a macular "wrinkle". He is great. He answered all my questions about the the condition and what could be done to treat and chances of success or possible complications. He was great during surgery. I was very comfortable, no pain during or after surgery and he was communicative during the surgery. I've been a physician assistant for 25 years. I've sent patients to the Eye Center of Northern Colorado for years and I'm very glad I did! They always accommodated when may patients needed to get in. I would recommend Dr. Korotkin to anyone needing a retina specialist. If the Fort Collins office turns you off because its so big, try the Loveland office. It's nice and small and the staff is very friendly. Cathleen Robinson PA-C
Very pleasant experience wonderful staff very accommodating everyone was very helpful and everyone smiled That's a great thing they seem to love their jobs excellent experience
Dr. Arnold is amazing. So much respect for his knowledge and the anesthesia doctor.
Excellent experience at Dr. Foster's office. The staff were friendly and efficient. Dr. Foster explained my procedure and options clearly and answered all my questions.
Well I’ve reached that stage of life where I need things done with no choice on my part. The ECNC was a recommended to me from my eye doctor as to “where to go” for this procedure. My experience to this point is that the staff and the surgeon are pleasant, attentive, professional and reassuring. Not sure you could ask for anything more. I would recommend this practice to anyone who is deciding where to get their eye issues addressed.
I had my first cataract Surgery yesterday. My Nurses were STEVE and ALLISON !!! They were the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️They were professional, funny and put me at ease. Excellent NURSES!! Thank you both !
Dr Crews is amazing. He did cataract and Victrecemy surgery on both eyes. My vision is great! Night driving is easy and I enjoy reading again. The procedures, as brutal as they sound, amazingly, were not at all unpleasant.
There is always a wait and that is FINE with me!!!!! Dr Crews is saving my eye sight! Waiting is fine because I can still see!!!!
Dr. Kikpatrick helped me through the loss of vision in one of my eyes. I am so very grateful to him.
Although it took a while to get an appointment when I was there every single person who took care of me was excellent!
Well, as an old man who wears his glasses constantly, I really didn't like it when my glasses snapped literally in half last Friday afternoon! I noticed that the Eye Center of Northern Colorado out at Centerra was open on Saturday. I called Friday and a delightful young lady named Andrea picked up the phone and after checking she thought they might have a frame that the lenses would fit in. I got there at 8 am on Saturday - the lenses fit, and the original frame was ordered at what seemed to be a reasonable price and we'll swap everything back when the new frame comes in. This was service that exceeded my expectations and got me back in action without any worries or inconvenience. I was VERY grateful for the cheerful and happy service!
Great experience! Dr. Nelson performed my diabetic exam and answered all my questions. I am very pleased. The new facility is also very nice - but beware, the office is on the first floor just as you enter building A.
The Eye Center has always been a great place for for keeping up with eye care for my family and I Highly recommend you visit them.
I had my eye exam today with Dr. Kelly Crews, she is an optometrist there and did a phenomenal job. She made sure my eyes had no problems or conditions, and did a thorough examination. I have nothing but good words for the Eye Center - From checking in with Mercedes and checking out with Ashlee at the Front Desk, they treated me like family and made me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. Definitely coming back again and highly recommend them!
I had the BEST treatment and service with Dr. Crews and his wonderful staff! I had to have an extensive eye surgery and Dr. Crews was Knowledgeable, highly skilled and incredibly talented. My eye is great now! I highly recommend this wonderful, kind, organized and skilled Eye Center and Crew!
I love the doctors I see there and Gary at the glasses section. Everyone truly acts like they care.
Particularly like the Precision Drive location and staff. Dr. Crews has done a wonderful job re- storing my vision and maintaining the health of my eyes. Very thankful for his expertise.
It was very friendly and professional. Dr Smith is a very good doctor. 👍
Kind, compassionate, and capable--I am so grateful for the care I've received with all of my problems including a retinal tear in one eye and a detachment in the other eye, cataracts in both eyes, and lasik in one eye.
Felt genuinely cared for by knowledgeable, patient and thoughtful staff
No waiting for check-in. Was called for Dr Olsen quickly. Was seen by him very quickly. Staff was very friendly & professional.
I have had several great experiences at the clinic on Prospect Rd. Great staff members who are knowledgeable,experienced, and respectful of my wishes.
I have not been in for 10 years, but the process of getting a person checked in seeing the doctor and the wait time has significantly improved. Not to mention the new doctor that I met, Dr. Kirkpatrick , was excellent, and was very thorough and provided a lot of clarity to his explanations.
Every experience with the Eye Center is excellent. Each location is very nice and well-maintained. Their staff is outstanding, from the front desk to the technicians, the opticians and the doctors. Our experience has been with Dr Saldivia and Dr Cecil and we keep coming back. This is our go-to practice for eye care.
