Mr. Erik Alan Chotiner

Great job. Quick recovery. Everyone worked as a team.

I am so thankful for the exceptional good care I received from the staff and Dr. Erik Chotiner!

I have been with Dr. Erik Chotiner for over 10 years and highly recommend him and the employees at this practice. I have glaucoma, dry eye, and Uveitis, and he has helped me successfully manage all three without surgery. I also had a retina detaching and the office employee that answered the phone identified the issue immediately and insisted I come into the office right away. I cannot say enough about the training, care, and expertise of this office. They saved my eyesight!

I had cataract surgery on my left eye on Thursday, March 2, 2023. The entire surgical staff was wonderful - explaining what they were doing, warm blankets, checking in. Once in the OR, more of the same! Looking forward to #2!!

Great overall

Surgery went well yesterday. Felt very little pain afterwards. The staff treated me very well.

It was awesome from start to finish. The father turned me over to the son who was the best ever. Thanks. PS: The OR staff was the best I have ever seen. Everyone seems to get along and enjoy working there which makes it easy to be a patient.

Excellent and courteous staff. Everyone seems quite knowledgeable and instilled confidence and trust me. Overall, a very pleasant experience with a great outcome.

I was very nervous for my first eye surgery. All the staff made me feel at ease. I was worried about the pain and procedure but is was painless and did not take long at all. When my second eye was done I felt like a pro. My surgeon was the best. I was very pleased and now both my son and daughter-in-law are going to him.

Nice experience

Excellent surgeon in all aspects of care.

From the moment I stepped in the door, throughout my entire experience, I was warmly, professionally welcomed. I felt thoroughly tested, and after my first appointment I left knowing exactly what would happen and what I needed to do. I also knew the coverage my insurance would provide. I liked the fact that most the people I interacted with said their name and verified mine. All people I interacted with were excellent, with the exception of one person. I discounted her. Thank you.

Dr. Erik Chotiner helped calm me and alleviate my fears. Very professional atmosphere. Clean OR and recovery. Staff in the OR were very professional, knowledgeable and answered all questions.

Thanks doctor and staff.

I received excellent care. Everyone was courteous and friendly.

Dr Chotiner and professional staff are very efficient and caring to patients. Procedure was amazing. I am happy not wearing glasses for everything. Thoughtful planter was great!

Very professional treatment, explained in detail. Provided necessary testing before cataract surgery

Dr Erik Chotiner was considerate and patient. He spent time with me, even though he seems to have lots of responsibility. I was looking forward to correcting the issues with my cataracts, but a bit apprehensive for my eye being operated on. Dr. Erik made me feel less anxious.

Very professional. A smiling face.

Very friendly and thorough

My appointments were timely and I do not wait long for my exam to start. Everyone was friendly and professional. My surgeries were 5 days apart. The surgeries went well and I love not having to wear glasses all the time (only for reading). Thank you Dr. Erik Chotiner and staff.

Everyone was very professional and very courteous. My surgery was very successful and painless. I am looking forward to getting my other eye done next week. Thank you everyone.

My experience was extremely cordial. The staff were excellent. The whole procedure was very organized, superb professionalism, and effortless. The surgery happened so quickly (or I thought), that I questioned if I actually HAD the surgery. I am exceedingly pleased with the results. PS: The BEAUTIFUL flowers were an AWESOME, SPECIAL surprise and VERY APPRECIATED!

Memorial Eye Institute surpassed my expectations! They were informative, methodical, professional, but most of all caring and personable! You truly are Simply The Best!!

Did not know what to expect but it was pleasant. Nurses were great.

Very thorough exams. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Surgery was very easy and simple.

The procedure and outcome has been miraculous! A very kind, caring and professional staff . Dr. Chotiner is simply outstanding in preparing you for surgery which was quick, smooth and painless. No discomfort at all.

I really felt I was being cared for. The people here are kind and helpful. I was not sure, but the outpour of loving emotion I experienced took the fear I had away. I would like to say thank you to Dr. Erik Chotiner and all the nurses for making me feel like family. Thank you!

Very good care and concern from start to finish.

Staff was awesome. I was very comfortable and they were very caring and answered all my questions. I felt like I was VIP! The doctor was amazing and also efficient!

Everyone was pleasant and accomodating and answered my questions without reservation. The overall surgery experience was positive and very calm. I would recommend Dr. Erik and the Institute to others with assurance. A bit more information about the lens choice and surgery options would have been helpful in understanding since it is a lifetime decision. Very grateful for the talent and knowledge of my surgeon and the staff

Excellent. The best.

When I walked into Memorial Eye I had no idea I would be treated in such a good way. Everyone was very considerate and kind in the steps I went through from the first day and until my surgery was complete.

Memorial Eye is a 'top notch' organization. The employees and Dr. Chotiner are the best. My experience with everyone was always detailed and explanations were given to all my questions even when I asked several times.

Everyone was fantastic, friendly and welcoming.

Memorial Eye Institute has done so much for me. I came to MEI to have my cataracts removed. It was astounding to find out that they could also completely remove my severe astigmatism. What a wonderful change this has brought to my quality of life! Everyone here has treated me so very well, and has been so kind. They go the extra mile. My doctor, Dr. Erik Chotiner, is simply the best! Thanks so much to one and all.

Excellent and caring. All staff are helpful. Doctors are great. Keep going!

I am pleased with how the procedure went. The doctor was timely. There was minimal pain and discomfort. The staff was competent.

I feel it was the most organized procedure I have been through. The people were courteous and friendly. The gift of a get well flower after surgery was really a nice surprise.

At a time when friends/family cannot be inside the office with you, it was nice that the staff was so pleasant. You never felt alone. Most people have never experienced eye surgery before so this is very strange.

I can say only good things about my experience before and after surgery. The staff and doctor was very nice. They told you what they would be doing before surgery and after. I was very pleased. Thanks to everyone.

Dr. Chotiner was very thorough, pleasant and took his time to make sure I was comfortable and understood everything.

Easy, breezy. Start to finish, very professional.

You have very nice receptionists. My experience was very favorable. The staff was very cordial. Dr. Eric Chotiner was very courteous and informative. He did an excellent job on my eye! I can see clear. Thank you!

I did not know what to expect and the staff were very comforting with explaining the process and what to expect. Very professional staff and doctors. Would recommend Memorial Eye to anyone that needed to get their eyes fixed.

I rate this place an A+. I will recommend to my friends. Very happy with outcome.

Kind, gentle, and caring physician

I was nervous about the surgery but it went very well. I had no discomfort during, or after. I was very pleased.

The best, well run clinic I have been too.

Everything great!

Everything went very well. I am very happy with the results of my surgery. For the first time since I was 7 years old that I do not need glasses.

I had cataract surgery and correction of an astigmatism. In one word...excellent!

I was apprehensive to have any elective surgery during the pandemic with my age and health history. The staff sensed it and made an effort to deal with it very professionally. First time in 78 years I can see well without prescription lenses.

As a rookie having my first visit at Memorial Eye in May 2020, I asked for a doctor that was patient and that is exactly what I got in Dr. Kowalski. He took his time and explained my options to me. Needing eye surgery, I received the same in Dr. Chotiner. He was very informative and explained how he would proceed and what to expect in the procedure. My testing was extensive and thorough. The staff was very kind and made me feel relaxed during the surgery. A 5 star rating from beginning to end. Well done!

So far, procedure is healing as planned. Overall experience has been very good.

Wonderful practice with kind and supportive employees. The doctors are top notch and excellent!

Everyone was great. Great staff, very professional and Dr. Erik Chotiner is super!

Surgery was quick and easy. Staff was very pleasant. Would recommend Dr. Chotiner very highly.

My experience was very favorable. I had no issues with the procedure. Everyone was courteous and very accommodating. My only suggestion would be telling the patient how to administer the eye drops pre-op rather than waiting until post-op.

All services provided and staff were perfect. Dr. Erik was very professional and caring.

I was well taken care of. Usually it is very difficult to get an IV in my vein but the one nurse helping me got it in right away. They took good care of my things. Dr. Erik Chotiner did an excellent job. I am so happy to see quite clearly with my eye that has macular degeneration.

I was very pleased with the efficiency and professionalism of the staff. You have a well oiled team. Everyone is very thorough. I was a little concerned when I still could not see the next day. At my follow up appointment, Dr. Rick explained my cornea was swollen and would be better by the weekend. He prescribed drops to help. I have an appointment next Tuesday for another follow up. I fell confident. Thanks Dr. Rick and staff.

I had Lasik here 16 years ago and that was a life changing event for me. Prior to that, my vision was always poor and then it was great. Now I have cataracts and once again, getting the first eye done was a life changing experience. I can see better now than after Lasik. I cannot thank Dr. Chotiner and his staff enough for what they have done for me.

We can truthfully say we are very satisfied with the entire staff and the way we were made to feel at home. The kindness and comfort my wife benefited from was outstanding!! We will highly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you very much!

I just had both eyes operated on. I have not been able to see this well since I was a young child. Dr. Erik Chotiner is the best! I felt like I was in great hand from the beginning. All my questions were answered and addressed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The cake and flowers after surgery, plus my picture with the doctor are wonderful. Thank you all.

The staff is very nice. The doctors are very great. I never even had my eyes checked as much as I did here. To get your eyes checked, go to Memorial Eye Institute.

I was apprehensive about having the cataract surgery and being awake during it. But, after the first eye surgery which went well, I am looking forward to having the other eye surgery. The difference in the vision is amazing!

It was amazing to work outside and to be able to see clear again.

Everything in life should go so well.

Everyone treated me very well. All procedures Thank you to all staff! Everyone was kind and friendly. Staff was very efficient. Everyone explained each step and was always mindful of my comfort. Procedure itself was amazing! thoroughly explained. All staff made sure I was comfortable. Cataract surgery went very well.

I had an excellent experience at Memorial Eye Institute. The staff was courteous and helpful. The doctor was efficient and clear in explaining what he was doing and why. The surgery was pain free and efficiently carried out. My vision is improved beyond my expectations.

I felt my experience was fantastic. Everyone was very nice and professional. I did not even feel like I had an operation afterwards except I could see so much better.

My husband had surgery here so I was somewhat familiar with the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Erik Chotiner. His care and professionalism are second to none.

I had Cataract surgery on April 4, 2019 and could not have been happier with the reassuring interaction with Dr Erik Chotiner and all of his medical staff. Surgery went extremely well and the followup from his staff calling me at home to check on me and the next day's visit with Dr. Erik was was very thorough. I plan on getting the other eye taken care of in the next few weeks.

I was very pleased with the care given to me. Thank you.

The staff was friendly and professional. I appreciated everyone's kindness and would recommend.

Every step of the way was handled with lots of information - Never a rushed visit. Easy to ask any and all questions. Keep going what you are doing. You got it right! Also, the get well flowers are a very nice touch!

All care, up to and including surgery, was great. Very professional doctor and staff. No hesitation to come in for surgery for my other eye. Surgery was pain free and done expertly and quickly.

I came here because I felt like a number at my previous providers office. Dr. Chotiner was very attentive, did tests to rule out everything which resulted in removing my cataracts.

I was a little nervous of anyone, or anything, touching my eyes. I really did not know what to expect until the actual operation. I assumed some anesthesia would be used. When it all took place, I was amazed at how quick and smooth it was. I was reluctant at wearing a patch to bed but that went smoothly also. I am looking forward to watching my 300 yard fly down the fairway.

Great service - nice staff. Comfortable and clean. No pain.

The surgery was quick and pain-free. It made a big difference in my vision. The staff are very friendly, professional and courteous. I would tell anyone who is in need of cataract surgery about Memorial Eye Institute.

Very efficient practice. All the staff are nice and professional.
