Came in and my referral was not sent over properly. They took the time to work with me and my Dr. to get it properly sent over and then allowed me to receive care.

Was near blind in one eye and losing more site in other due to cataracts. I opted to get the Vivity lenses. Worth every penny at 1 month post surgery I am seeing, both near and far, as well as I did in my teens. Thank you Dr. Dolezal for giving me back a normal life.

If I could give less than one star I would. Dr. Dolezal is one of the worst Ophthalmologists that could exist. He has no care for his patients or human life. If you go to the emergency room, he will say there is nothing wrong with you and send you home. Even if you are in need of care and other doctors feel you need to stay in the hospital. He will not communicate with other doctors, he will also fail to show up to appointments. He will refuse to see patients in the hospital just because he feels like it, even if he hasn't even seen what is wrong. He will even fail to call multiple doctor calls to ask for his recommendations. He should not be practicing and should just retire or most definitely not be seeing people. One of the worst experiences I have ever had with a doctor. I hope no one I know will ever have to need his services.

DR – May 27, 2020
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dolezal?
I have active MD and Dr. Dolezal did a great job working with my records from that specialist before my cataract surgery. I felt very comfortable with his level of expertise and caution with my specific situation. Because he recommended a Toric lens in my "good" eye and no special lens in my left eye already scarred with an earlier hemorrhage, my MD specialist was impressed that Dr. D. did not over-prescribe a lens for me that would not help at all.
I liked Advocate Good Shepherd for the surgery
