10/10! I visted Dr. Christopher Ricke, OD at Hulme Eyecare in Loveland for a determination as to wh... ether I needed cataract surgery, as another optometrist said that I might. Dr. Ricke confirmed that I did have that need and referred me to Dr. Cullen Ryburn, MD (opthalmology) at Vance Thompson Vision. After multiple very thorough evaluations, Dr. Ryburn performed the surgery at the Loveland Surgical Center. I was then sent back to Dr. Ricke for 3 post-surgery examinations (over the course of a month) and eye-glass prescription. The entire experience, including the bottom-line outcome (my vision!) was flawless. All players handled the procedure without a single fumble and at the highest level of competence one could ask for. As is easily imagined, a lot of multi-party communications were necessary throughout. All went perfectly without confusion. Dr. Ricke and the team (office staff, optometric assistants, and opticians) at Hulme Eyecare Center were first rate in their service. Communication was excellent, which is extremely important to me especially b/c I had so many questions to which I needed informative answers before agreeing to have surgery performed on the only two eyeballs I will ever have. I will forever appreciate Dr. Ricke's counsel, both pre-surgery and post. I should mention that staff at the Loveland Surgical Center was excellent as well, both during the procedure and in following up with me after it. This is the way medicine should be practiced but too seldom is! All of these folks set the standard, and I thank recommend them all.
