Okay, soo, at first I loved this place. Employees were cool. Everything was great. Heres the thing, during the year of waiting to get my cornea transplant, the lady doctor that was helping me began to slip as a doctor in my eyes. Okay, in not saying she is a bad doctor by any means. What Im saying is that it got EXTREMELY frustrating for both my mom and I that every time I had an appointment, it felt like I was a brand new patient all over again.. Getting asked questions that clearly should be in my file. In my opinion, at least skim over the notes before starting the appointment, you know? I guess my only complaint is the staff needs to brief themselves before they go into ANY appointment. Then at the very least, they would know the basics of that patient. I know for me, it made me start to question my trust in this facility. I really dont want that to happen.. My cornea transplant went REALLY well by the way. I guess my advice to the staff there is make your patients feel as if they were your ONLY patient. Read up on them a little bit before the appointment begins. We all know that you guys know probably the day before, who is coming in and who isnt for the following day. I know it would help me out a lot. Oh, they do have handicap everything. They have public restrooms. You cant get fitted for contracts here, unfortunately.. Overall, yes, Im going to continue to keep going to this facility. Unless you need a transplant or something along those lines, I probably wouldnt recommend this facility. They are in the second floor. There is an elevator for those who dont want to take the stairs. And they have a balcony in their waiting room.

Dr Richheimer did my cataract surgery (both eyes) about 5 weeks ago. I had put off this surgery for almost 10 years because I have extreme nearsightedness & myopic degeneration, which increases the risk of retinal detachment following cataract surgery. I was afraid of going blind, but my vision eventually got so bad that I felt I had no choice but to go through with the surgery. Dr Richheimer kept telling me that I would see great after the surgery, but I didnt believe him. I was extremely nervous before the first surgery. After both surgeries my vision was very clouded for a couple of days, but when it cleared I had gone from 20/200 to 20/50 in my left eye. My right eye turned out even better, going from 20/125 to 20/30. Optometric testing showed that the surgery had given me the best possible vision I was capable of achieving, and that contacts would not be able to improve it any further. So now I dont have to wear any corrective lenses and I am very happy with the result. I had been told by other cataract surgeons that I would still have to wear contacts and that my vision would not improve more than 20/100, so I am very glad that I found Dr Richheimer because I truly believe he gave me a better result than I would have gotten elsewhere, and so far, no retinal detachment.

I saw Dr. Richheimer for Refractive Lens Exchange surgery. My vision has been poor since I was a child and, as I have been told, I have oddly shaped eyeballs. I was really nervous about the whole process - the devil you know versus taking a risk at better vision. The entire process was amazing. Dr. Richheimer took the time to meet with me, do a thorough evaluation and answer all of my questions. He let me know that I could reach out to him at any time if I had any additional questions or concerns. The rest of the staff was also very helpful and pleasant. The visual experience during the surgery was definitely a little weird, but I love my new eyeballs and am thrilled at the outcome.

Dr. Richheimer is really the best. Everyone says that about their doctor, I know, but he really is. The staff explained everything to me beforehand. No surprises on the bill. The best thing about it is…oh yeah…I CAN SEE NOW! Don’t put off cataract surgery any longer. It’s beyond worth it!!!

Dr. Richheimer did cataract surgery on both my eyes spring of 2021. The first eye seemed to go well but it appears the Toric lens for astigmatism upgrade may not have been positioned exactly right so my distance vision it that eye isnt quite as good it was the before with eye glasses.With the second eye, all of the old lens wasnt removed first go, as I understand it. At he 24 hour follow-up the morning after the surgery was in the 40s in stead of the healthy 8 to 12 range like it should be. A second surgery, in the doctors office, was performed the next day after the original surgery. That eye seems fine now.That said, the overall experience was very good, professional, efficient, well done. AND the main reason for my getting the cataract surgeries in the first place was serious night driving difficulties. The results for that part borders on miraculous. My night driving vision is so vastly improved I can hardly believe it.So all in all, not sure Id recommend Dr Richheimers practice but I wont be overly concerned about it either. I would skip the upgrade if I had it to do over. And Id definitely get the surgery.Kind of a mixed bag, no?

Most of the doctors are pretty good, and Dr. Richheimer is very responsive and knowledgeable. The front desk however is rude and very abrasive. They dont treat you with respect or if you are the customer. I own and operate my own small business for +20 years. If we treated customers like MHEI we wouldnt have any left .

Six years ago Dr. Richheimer did my cataract surgery. Recently I noticed that my eyesight had deteriorated. After visiting my optometrist, I was told that I needed the YAG procedure. Having recently moved to New Jersey, I felt that I wanted Dr. Richheimer to perform the procedure since I had the upmost confidence in him. I flew out to Colorado one week ago and had the procedure done, which only took about 15 minutes. I was absolutely floored by the results. I could immediately see crystal clear. I would absolutely recommend Mile High Eye Institute for any eye surgeries even if you have to travel 2500 miles. The staff was wonderful and very attentive to me on my visit.

I have worked closely with Dr. Richheimer on my cataract condition and finally had both eyes done. He is a kind, responsive and good listener and excellent surgeon. His pre-op and post-op care were exemplary. There is a great working relationship evident in the office of Mile High Eye Institute and confident and comforting services provided by his surgical staff during the procedures. My healing is excellent. Thank you very much.

My husband had Lasik done here several years ago and had really great results. So when I decided I was done with contacts and glasses my doc referred me back here. I was so pleased with how caring they are, they run a very clean well organized office. They suggested I try out a monovision and I did and Im glad I listened to them. Very little discomfort during the super quick procedure. I was able to see perfectly the next morning for my early follow up. Highly suggest!

Dr.Vest and his staff are absolutely amazing. For anyone who is looking for a glaucoma specialist Dr.Vest is your guy! Great bedside manners. I was referred to him for a tube shunt surgery.

Im 51 and my left eye was going blind from a cataract. Like anyone I was a little nervous about eyeball surgery because I had 20/20 vision my entire life. Dr. Richheimer replaced my left crystalline lens with a Symphony Multi focal lens. In the evening after my surgery I took off the patch and my vision was all messed up with halos and tons of other visual artifacts because my pupil was still dilated. Twenty four hours later after my pupil went back to normal I had 20/20 vision with zero artifacts. Its truly a miracle and I couldnt be happier with the results!!!The surgery took about 10 minutes. I opted to do it without anesthesia and I would recommend that to others because it was completely painless. They immobilize your entire eye with a big hunk of tape which is a pretty ingenious method and that instilled confidence in me during the surgery. I paid extra for the multi-focal lens and it was probably the best investment Ive ever made. If you need this surgery you can take comfort that the Mile High Eye Institute, Dr. Richheimer and his staff are world class experts with mad eyeball surgery skills!

NOT TRUSTWORTHY AND HONEST. I was informed I could get an ICL surgery for later this year and as long as I scheduled by the end of the month, I would receive a special discounted price. Once I was scheduled for the surgery,I was informed that I no longer qualified for the promotion even though the doctor and two different techs told me that there would be no problem. Instead of honoring their word, they wanted to charge me the full price which was $1000 difference. If you cannot honor your word, I do not trust you or your service.

Huge kudos to Mile High Eye Institute! I just had cataract surgery on both eyes. From the very 1st visit, I could not have been happier with the staff and the doctors. They were all friendly and caring and so interested that I had all the information I needed and encouraged me to call any time if I had questions. There was almost no waiting time for appointments which shows me a well run office and respect for the patient.

I am so impressed and grateful for my experience at Mile High Eye Institute. As an optometrist myself, I have been waiting for the right time to get my LASIK procedure done and wanted to make sure I was making the right choice. Yesterday was my surgery day and Dr. Richheimer, Dr. Graber, and the entire staff made me feel so comfortable and confident through the whole process. They let me choose the playlist during my procedure and it was all finished in about 2 songs. I woke up this morning with no discomfort, seeing better than I ever have before, and measured better than 20/20 on my one day post-op.Highly recommend.

My first contact was with Michelle by phone. She answered many questions patiently and in a friendly, caring manner. When I left messages, she promptly returned my calls. By phone, Kyle provided helpful, informative details about my condition. James greeted me warmly at arrival for both of my appointments. Erica performed the technical tests. I felt comfortable with her, and she was kind and competent. Dr. Vest reviewed the test results, explained what he found and outlined a path forward. Kyle was with him and was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Dr. Vest administered the recommended treatment with Kyle at his side. This office is well run and has a superb staff. Dr. Vest instilled confidence in me and deserves the highest praise for his kindness and expertise. I am grateful to have found Mile High Eye Institute and Dr. Vest and his team.

Dr. Richheimer was recommended to me after being told elsewhere that I would not be a candidate for Lasik, so I scheduled a consult for ICL surgery (I didn’t even know this was an option!). The office is a welcoming, caring environment, and each staff member truly took the time to answer all my questions. I completed the ICL surgery, and I can see better now than I ever did with my contact lenses. Mile High changed my life. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Richheimer and all his staff for their patience, professionalism, and incredible skill. You all are amazing. Thank you doesn’t say enough for what you’ve done for me.

I have had several surgeries in my life but none have brought me the joy that these two surgeries did. I have had bad vision all my life and have felt that without glasses or contacts I could not function at a decent level. My vision has significantly improved since the cataract surgery and it still leaves me marveling each day that I can see so much detail without the help of contacts or glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Richheimer as an ophthalmologist.

I had a wonderful experience at the Mile High Eye Institute! Ive had glasses since I was in the 5th grade, and I was completely dependent on contacts & glasses. My vision finally stabilized (in my mid-thirties), so I became a candidate for LASIK. Dr. Richheimer, Dr. Hudson, and everyone at Mile High Eye Institute have been wonderful to work with. They make sure you are completely informed about the types of procedures available, and what the recovery is like for each procedure, before you make a decision, or schedule the procedure. The procedure itself was quick, and they follow up with you frequently, to make sure you are healing correctly. After decades of poor vision, I now have 20/16 vision, without contacts or glasses!

The facility was very clean and made you feel like this was a place you wanted to have surgery in. The staff was friendly and professional every time I visited. All in all this is the place to go for eye surgery and I will be recomending Mile High Eye to many people.

I went as a new patient and need updated hard contacts. I was given conflicting information about my policy and coverage when compared to previous optometrists and my insurance company. Im not sure if this was because of poor integration between my insurer and the clinic, an ill-informed MD or the motivation to increase the percentage of out of pocket / cash payments. Needless to say, I would not recommend this clinic.

My second eye cataract surgery was completed with multifocal lens. I now have vision better than 20/20 in both eyes that were worse than 20/900. I have reading glasses from Sams at $5/pair. I used to pay >$500 for glasses. I have been nearsignted(presbypopia) for 69 years. Everyone at Mile High Eye Institute was friendly, efficient, and competent. It is like a miracle.

From my first appointment to my subsequent follow-up appointments, the team at MHEI has been nothing but professional, courteous, informative, and patient as I went through the LASIK process and afterwards. I highly recommend MHEI for anyone seeking more information or treatment related to LASIK.

Dr Richheimer, Dr Brown, and the staff have saved my eye, and given me back my ability to wake up without worry, if I should open my eyelid or not, to greet the day. Having corneal erosion, and waking up is when I was in most danger. My eyeball would stick to my eyelid and when I opened my eye, I would tear my cornea! Very Painful and miserable. My vision was improved, and not having to glop a ton of Muro 128 ointment in my eye every night in hopes I would wake up without a rip and be miserable all day long is the best! Its freedom people! Im happy!

There is not room enough here for all the accolades I can say about Dr. Richheimer and his staff! For over sixty years I put up with glasses and contacts and within an hour after each eye surgery I have better than 20/20 vision with NO side effects whatsoever. Every question was answered and each procedure was reviewed in detail with me. I have talked to everyone with eyesight problems that MHEI is the only solution and that Dr. Richheimer and his staff will be there every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough.

Dr. Richheimer is the best in town and his staff are caring and helpful. Cataract surgeries went well and the followup care was excellent.

Dr. Richheimer performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. I had no idea what to expect, but throughout the entire process Dr. Richheimer and his staff was genuinely supportive. Every question and concern was addressed and they made me feel like I was their only patient! Then Dr. Richheimer performed his magic! I call it magic because before the surgery my vision consisted of seeing various shades of grey. The day after the first surgery I was able to read 20/20 and colors were so vivid I could hardly believe it! My only question now is..Why did I wait so long ! My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Richheimer and the entire staff. I am so grateful for the gift I have been given...the gift of clear vision! I highly recommend Dr. Richheimer and Mile High Eye Institute.
