Rogers, Steven, Md - Karlik Ophthalmology

“Dr.” Troy M. Karlik is a huge imbecile! He wouldn’t make eye contact and that should’ve been the first red flag. He treated me like I was a huge burden and was completely rude. He announced, with the door open and people in the waiting area, that I might have glaucoma. He was completely insensitive about it. Instead of telling me what the next steps should be or reassuring me, he bashed the people who did my Lasik procedure and tried to blame my parents for the possible glaucoma – sorry, no one in my family has it. Oh and when you dilate someone’s eyes, it’s best to tell them what’s going on, what to expect, etc. That’s what a good doctor does but how can I expect you to understand that? Karlik is completely incompetent and I truly hope this operation gets shut down. more

I am self employed and do not have insurance. I used your service and looked for a family eye care center for an eye exam and prescription. I received a timely appointment at Karlik and I believe that the quality of care was excellent. I was asked to pay the fee in full upon completion of the appointment and paid the amount quoted. I got the feeling that this fee was unusual from past experience and thought maybe my memory of fees was outdated. I called several of the top listed Ophthalmology firms on City search and learned that fees are generally lower 1/2 to 3/4 of what I was charged for the same service I received. I later contacted a representative of Karlik and was told that the doctor could charge anything he wanted but fees were generally based on the medical codes. Of the companies I interviewed Karlik was the highest fee for this service. I would like to see the City Search classified by fee for services as well as location and specialty. Pros: timely appointment, good location Cons: Higher than average fees more
