Reviews for Chicago Ridge, IL Optometrist Darin Strako, O.D. Ptosis Services

Dr Ticho is a fantastic doctor that goes out his way to help patients. During my visit, he and all but one on his team made sure the history for my condition was gathered... proper tests were taken on my eyes... and details were provided and explained for my condition. Dr Ticho answered every question I had. I appreciate his amazing care and that of the medical assistant I initially saw.I'm very concerned about the lack of compassion received by a doctor that reviewed my case before I talked to Dr Ticho. Without seeing the results of my tests, that other doctor proclaimed with a cocky smile that my eyes were bad and I probably needed surgery. I was told on 11/21/25 by staff that on 9/30/25 the two doctors that saw me were Dr Ayham Bwidani and Dr Ticho. However, I could not locate a Dr Bwidani as being associated to this business nor listed as a staff member on their website. Based on online pictures I've seen on the business website, I believe the other doctor that saw me and acted in a negative way was Dr Darin Strako.Nevertheless, whomever the doctor was, I would not want to ever have this person work with me or any other patient due to their lapse in judgement blurting out results without test documentation to back it up. This was careless and heartless. As a result, I've decided at this time not to return to this office.This was my first visit to this office and I must stress Dr Ticho was kind, respectful, and did an outstanding job. More

First I want to thank god for allowing my surgery and recovery to go smoothly, and without any complications. And secondly a huge thank you to Dr. Ticho, a month ago I was pretty much blind in both my eyes due to cataracts. Dr. Ticho answered all of my questions and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout my entire experience. I went in confident that he was more than capable of performing my surgery due to his constant reassurance and extensive explanation of what to expect. I am forever grateful to him and his stuff, whom were also very kind. They reached out to me both times after my surgery to see how I was doing and I am thankful. I would highly recommend Dr. Ticho if you’re looking for a physician to help with your optical needs. More

Wonderful first-time visit. Questions encouraged and answered well. Visit was all efficient in that I was able to select glasses while waiting to be seen and pay for the visit while waiting for my eyes to dilate. Overall, very good. Would visit again 10/10 More
