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!!

“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.

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!
