Patient Testimonials
I was a patient of another large eye surgery practice and when my appointment was scheduled for 10:50 and I was still waiting to be seen at 11;30, I left. Since I have vision insurance and was due for my annual exam I contacted my insurance carrier for help finding another practice. I scheduled an appointment there and was seen and diagnosed quickly. The doctor indicated that I was a candidate for cataract surgery and instead of referring me to the eye surgeon I had been seeing, he suggested that I schedule an appointment at Mile High Eye Institute.Having worked in just about every health care discipline throughout my working career, I knew how to check credentials and reviews. Furthermore, a close friend had her cataracts removed here in 2023 and highly recommended this practice as well as Dr. Richheimer. Even though this location is further than I like to travel, I scheduled and appointment with Dr. Richheimer for 8/21/24. I was impressed with the entire staff and how knowledgeable they were.I feel confident that I made the right choice and am scheduled to have my bilateral cataracts removed in September.
Very thorough, professional, and friendly. Initial visit seemed a little repetitive and took longer than I had expected so I suggest being sure to leave enough time. Surgery and followup were fast, efficient and very easy. Highly recommend MHEI!
The people at Mile High Eye Institute help you and take very good care of your vision and your eyes. I would recommend them to anyone!
This company is exceptionally run. They are always on time for visits after eye surgery is completed. The day of eye surgery they get backed up a little but imo it’s to make more efficient use of the surgery rooms. Better for patient to wait an hour then for less patients to get treated on any given day. All the employees are exceptionally pleasant to be with & very attentive to your needs. My doctor was Dr Huang. He was well educated & knew after my first visit how exactly to proceed. I had cataracts for starters but beside removing them he gave me 20/20 long distant vision in both eyes. I’ve always needed an otc pair of reading glasses from Costco. Bottom line INCREDIBLE!! The colors you can see after cataracts are removed are breathtaking. You can’t appreciate that until you see them again. Since only 1 eye at a time is done you’ll be able to understand within a day. A great experience from beginning to end. I recommend Mile High 100%
I am pleased with the professional and knowledgeable eye care specialist who provided a great eye exam for me. He also explained in detail the condition I was suffering from. He prescribed the needed ointment for my eyes, and it has brought me relief and I'm quite happy! All in all, they all deserve a 5-star rating for their excellence in managing me from beginning to end. Thanks again!
Dr. Zachary Vest was recommended to me years ago by my optometrist. I appreciate his communication with her after every office appointment. He has managed my glaucoma and I have total confidence in his knowledge and skills. He has a wonderful sense of humor, explains the disease process, plan for treatment, and never rushes my appointment. His office staff is competent, friendly, and fully staffed, resulting in a smooth “no wait” from arrival time to leaving. Abundant parking and beautiful new office. Five Stars all around.
