Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Yet another example of phenomenal care!
I cannot say enough how much I love Ideal Eye Surgery in O'Fallon IL!I woke up to Van Gogh trying to create a massive black abstract painting in my right eye. I initially started swatting at the spider flying around on its web and trying to attack me before realizing that there was no spider but definitely a HUGE concern. I called their office and was in seeing a doctor in less than an hour. Their timely, phenomenal, and reassuring care they provided was absolutely top notch!I also had my cataract surgery done by Dr. Stock in 2019 and received equally impressive care from he and his staff, as well as the surgery eye center then as well! They genuinely care about their patients and their well-being! Thank you Ideal Eye Surgery!

I had cataract surgery on both eyes. I wanted to use a cataract surgeon instead of an ophthalmologist who also does cataract surgery. I researched surgeons and was very impressed with Dr Stock’s background and his practice. The surgery went very well and he corrected an astigmatism also which improved my vision to 20/15 in both eyes. Dr Stock and his staff are friendly, efficient and answered all my questions in a positive manner. I’m very pleased with the entire experience

Dr. Stock, and his team, are the best!
I strongly recommend Dr. Stock, and his staff, at Ideal Eye Surgery. I just returned from my second follow up, on my second eye, for cataract surgery. All has gone extremely well with the cataract surgery on each of my eyes. I am very happy, and very grateful. I am impressed by Dr. Stock's expertise and his personable professionalism. I am also impressed by his staff at the O'Fallon office, and the pre-op and surgery team. The office and the surgery setting were both run very efficiently, but also with personable professionalism. Dr. Stock and his staff, (especially his office staff, with whom I had the most contact) are simply fantastic!

Wonderful experience!
I highly recommend Dr. Stock for your cataract removal. I had surgery about three weeks ago and my vision in my right eye is better than 20/20. Having worn glasses since the second grade (I'm now 67) is nothing short of a miracle to me. The staff in his office is very professional and courteous. The surgery center is top notch and the nurses are very kind and understanding when I was nervous before surgery. The cataract in my left eye is already on schedule for April and I'm very excited to have it done!

This practice is exceptional in its concern for patient comfort, education and confidence. The skill of Dr. Stock is readily recognizable... scheduled my second cataract surgery as soon as I could after conclusion of 1st cataract replacement course. He and his staff display skill, confidence and sympathy for the patient in every way. There was never a moment of fear or uncertainty in the professional or personal quality of the staff throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend the doctor and staff.

I am so pleased with Dr. Stock and the total staff I had with my cataract surgery. He was recommended by my regular eye doctor. I was uncertain but after the first eye cataract eye surgery I immediately scheduled the other eye surgery. I am so pleased with the results. To see clearly now is amazing. No glasses for driving at my 86 years of age. The total staff was so friendly and competent in their assignments. What a staff he has. Surely will recommend Ideal Eyes with Dr. Stock in Kirkwood area. Mary Hall

A++ experience! I was referred to Dr. Stock by my retina doctor for my cataract surgery, and he and his excellent staff did not disappoint. He recommended and I went with toric IOLs to correct my astigmatism and they worked wonderfully. After 60 years of glasses, I'm now 20-20 in one eye and even better in the other. Highly recommend!
