    Ive had nothing but great experiences here. As a dry eye patient, Dr. Charles Hoang has been the best! He listens to my concerns and I feel like he is there to help my dry eye condition-not to just write an Rx.I dont quite get the other reviews about the staff-my experiences with them have been nothing but great. Ordering contacts with them has never been a problem-the contacts are always there within a few days and if I run short (dailies wearer) I can come in and theyll give me a weeks trial worth to tide me over, which I appreciate a lot.I will continue to come here-after seeing several ophthalmologists throughout the years for my dry eye condition, Taub Eye Clinic is by far the best place that Ive been to!

    Ive seen quite a few negative reviews on this site, and would like to share my experience at Taub Eye Clinic. Ive been a patient of Dr. Robert Taub, and previously his daughter Susan, for over 20 years (Im only 30, so that says a a lot). During graduate school in 2005 I suffered a corneal abrasion which quickly developed into a corneal ulcer. I visited the emergency room two days in a row and saw a local ophthalmologist who gave me eye drops and sent me home for 3 days. I was unsatisfied with this result and drove back to Chicago to get a second opinion from Dr. Taub. Dr. Taub looked at my eye and immediately called the hospital to have me admitted that very morning for a week of intravenous medication. It turned out that the drops Id been given did absolutely nothing and as a result the infection had eaten through my cornea and into my retina! I would not have vision in my left eye if it were not for Dr. Taubs swift and expert diagnosis. He is responsible for salvaging my eyesight and I cannot tell you how much that means (especially after sitting in a hospital bed for a week unable to see anything due to the excruciating pain of even opening my eyes). In the years since, Ive seen Dr. Charles a few times and while he can be a bit more friendly than most (I saw a few reviews where patients were made uncomfortable by this), I still believe he does a thorough job. As far as the support staff goes, Hector is always AMAZING and the front desk girls are usually pleasant enough. I am usually at the ophthalmologist for medical assistance, not to make friends (and they are far from rude!) I can understand the cost issue, but prices for glasses/contacts are different virtually everywhere you go. Finding the best price is part of being a savvy consumer. I truly believe that the strength of the Taub Eye Clinic is in its ability to assess and diagnose the health of the eyes. If the contacts are too expensive, you can always pay the copay, request a copy of your prescription before you leave, and shop elsewhere for these. This establishment is in the business of providing quality eye care to its patients, and I cannot put a price tag on that!Go to Taub Eye Clinic, ask for Dr. Taub and then post your experience!

    I have been going to see Dr. Charles Hoang for over 7 years now, and I felt the need to write a review after I saw some negative feedback that I was shocked to see. Dr. Hoang is an incredibly thorough and kind doctor. He is very friendly and easy to talk to, and I have always appreciated that and found it very reassuring. I have never had any issues with the office or the staff. I always get in, get out, feel that I have been given the proper tests by Dr. Hoang, as well as the right diagnosis, and nothing more. Dr. Hoang has always taken fantastic care of me, and I trust him completely. I would recommend this office and Dr. Hoang to anyone.

    I was very nervous to get my eyes checked since my last visit had literally been back in grade school but Dr. Taubs associates were very helpful and walked me through an entirely painless exam and I learned a lot about my eyes! Glad to have found them!
