For years I traveled to Denver to Colorado Retnia after wet macular degeneration was identified. I stayed with Dr. Curtis Hagedorn, a real wizard, but it became increasingly troublesome for me to make the trip. I decided to find local services and found EyeCenter of Northern Colorado at the suggestion of Dr. Hagedorn. The care and access has been instrumental in arresting the degenerative disease and yesterday the time between injection was lengthened to 9 weeks. For 5 years I dreaded the interocular injections but some technique used here makes them painless! I have great respect for the medical treatment and professionalism available locally in Northern Colorado. I would recommend the services offered to anyone.

I have been a patient of Dr. Randall Smith for years. Until recently, I had only seen him for routine exams. Several years ago, he said I had cataracts developing. Recently one of my eyes became very blurry. I saw Dr. Smith and he said I had cataracts in both eyes and they had advanced. He did cataract surgery in both eyes and I am amazed at my vision now. Dr. Smith, his staff and surgery staff were all very friendly and comforting. Thank you to all of them!

We were in from out of town and needed help. They immediately took care of us and in a few hours, we had everything we needed. Great customer service.

My experience was fantastic. I had ICL surgery and a slight Lasik touch up on my left eye with Dr. Smith and couldn't be happier with the result. I feel like my vision isn't something I think about at all anymore, and I'm so happy to not wear my contacts. Through the whole process I felt like I was in excellent hands. Dr Smith with knowledgeable, professional, and kind. The office staff were always kind and respectful as well. Before choosing Eye Center of Northern Colorado, I had seen two other places to decide where I was going to go. I'm very happy with my choice and highly recommend them.

Dr Karl Olson was outstanding from beginning to end!!! I am almost 80 but he made me feel like 60. His staff and all the appointments were worth every mile for the appointments. My husband and I were treated with respect and care letting us know what to do and expect. Thank you for such care! I would give him a 10+!

I recently saw Dr Smith for cataract surgery. I had a difficult situation with an astigmatism. He was clear with his communication to me, understood the situation, confident in his recommendation, and the outcome was 5 star. The entire surgical process (from initial visit to pre-op, surgery, and after surgery appts) was effective, efficient, and well executed. The staff at the eye center were very professional, friendly, and helpful. I would strongly recommend Dr Smith and the eye center.

Dr. Smith was great. He explained everything in detail prior to my cataract surgery. The surgical team and the Nurse Anesthetist were all very pleasant and competent. The surgical experience on both eyes went very smoothly. Extremely happy with Dr. Smith’s expertise and my results!

My cararact surgery was very successful! I paid extra for the LASIK correction of my astigmatism and now my vision is better than 20/20. I’m very pleased with the expertise and care I received from Dr Randall Smith.
