John Bardash, OD

A great customer experience, Dr Bardash has the latest technology and made everything from schedule to exam an absolute ease and explained everything thoroughly and with professional care. I highly recommend!

Thorough appointment and clear communication with Dr. Bardash and the staff. Dr. Bardash was patient and helpful while finding my precise prescription strength. Highly recommend.

The staff are incredibly helpful and kind and Dr. Bardash is wonderful! He truly wants you to understand your vision, explains everything thoroughly, and gives quality care. Highly recommended!

Dr. Bardash and his staff are AWESOME! I called them as a new patient, in pain, on a Friday night from the airport coming back in to town just trying to find an eye doctor that could see me on Saturday because I knew I couldn’t wait until the following Monday. They got me right in Sat. a.m. and have taken excellent care of me since. Unfortunately, due to the situation with my eye I’ve been in too see them quite often now! But since I’ve been in so much I feel well qualified to say it is an excellent office and I highly recommend them. :)

This is the first time I have felt like the health of my eyes was the most important thing, instead of being sold visionware. Dr. Benson explained everything in detail until I understood. Very personable doctor and staff.

I thought the service was fantastic. The doctor was fun and made me feel at ease, the staff was friendly, the office was clean, the technology was up to date, I would definitely go back. But there was one thing… when I got home I looked up one of the frames we bought on the manufacturer’s website and found that they were $ 150 cheaper online. Granted, my insurance covered a portion of the frames so at the end of the day my cost of the frames were the same price as if I purchased them online directly from the manufacturer. I would definitely go back for the eye exam but probably won’t be buying glasses next time.

Dr. Bardash is amazing! My child decided to take out my eye over the weekend and I literally didn’t know what to do. I had a terrible experience at Urgent Care so I was very hesitant to go back. I call Dr. Bardash and he came in on his day off to put my eye back together. I was so grateful! I literally trust no one else for my care.

Made an appointment because I thought the name was clever and nailed it! Dr. Bardash and staff were helpful, knowledgable, and fun. Insurance coverage and out of pocket costs are completely ironed out and explained from the get go. Highly recommended!

Loved Dr. Bardash. Personable, upfront and has all the new technology! I didn’t even have to be dilated! This is my new eye home!

I recently had terrible conjuctivitis in my eye that sent me to urgent care and my PCP. After 2 prescriptions, 10 days and no relief, I finally called this place and tried to get in to see someone on a Saturday. The gal who answered the phone was friendly and accommodated me on a Saturday last minute. I saw Dr. Benson who was very friendly and thorough. He went through all my medications, did a thorough exam and sent me on my way with steroid eyedrops, and an antibiotic. Within 24 hours my eye was instantly better! I was so impressed that I decided to schedule my annual eye exam with him two weeks later. Dr. Benson was just as thorough, friendly and I felt great about everything when finished. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place or Dr. Benson. 5 stars for sure for him and the care I received.
Minus two stars because of the insurance issue I faced. I have EyeMed insurance and the first time I came in I explained this to the front desk gal. She never said, «We don’t accept EyeMed,» she only stated that since my first visit was medically related, they would bill my Cigna major medical instead. OK fine. Fast forward two weeks, I come in, under the impression they accept EyeMed as I was never told otherwise, have my exam, go to pick out new glasses and when I ask about what my insurance will cover for lenses she says, «oh we don’t take EyeMed, sorry.» Would’ve been nice to know as an exam was $ 89 and would’ve been another $ 280+ for just my prescription lenses (not including frames). So that was a big disappointment after having such a great experience with Dr. Benson. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be returning for this reason.

Dr. Bardash and his staff were awesome. In the past I had a terrible time trying to find contacts that worked for me. I had pretty much given up on it and was resigned to wearing glasses forever. But! Dr. Bardash worked with me until we got it right. And I’m so happy! I really appreciated his patients and determination to get it right. Highly recommend.

I found this place via Unilocal for a good lasik recommendation and decided to check it out because of the fact that it has 5 stars and 58 reviews, which seems pretty legit.
The pros: I submitted an online request for them to contact me and they contacted me almost an hour after I submitted, which I found to be very fast, and the scheduled me in the next day. They have the forms to fill out online, and the sheets to sign in the office are laminated and can be dry erased, which is very eco friendly of them. Dr Bardash is very nice and personable, which is ideal in a health care provider.
The cons (why it’s 3 stars and not 5): when they contacted me via phone, they asked why I wanted to see Dr. Bardash, and I explained that I was interested in lasik. They said to come in and get a free lasik consultation. So I drive 30 minutes to their office and they do a regular eye exam (dilating my eyes & checking my vision strength) and an extensive Q & A session, which consisted of why I want to get Lasik and things of that nature. After they answered all my questions about Lasik they tell me that based off of my Q&A session, I maybe a good candidate and The Lasik Center (which is who they are partnered with) will contact me to do another free more extensive lasik exam like checking my eye health, cornea thickness and vision changes to get a more definite answer as to whether or not I’m a good candidate. The problem I have, is that the office should let you know that you actually won’t know if you’re a good candidate the first visit you make, which is actually very inconvenient to have to go and waste time to be told something I already knew, as far as my vision and reasoning for being a candidate. I left the office with the same unanswered question that I had arrived with.
Disclaimer: the office is very nice and the staff are very friendly, and I believe that if I were searching for an eye doctor for glasses and contacts, he would be the one I go to, but since I wasn’t and feel that I wasted time, I will only give it a 3.

Dr. Bardash and his staff are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I might have some eye problems and Dr. Bardash did not alarm me in any way but explained the situation very precisely and effectively.
Would highly recommend!

Dr. John Bardash impressed me, tremendously. In July of last year, I had my first appointment with him, after being extremely frustrated due to not finding the right prescription/​type of contact to fit my eyes properly. Although I had the appointment, I was truly frustrated with contacts and wore my glasses daily, never returning to pick then up.
This week, with warm weather returning and my desire to wear shades came back, i decided to go pick them up. Not only did Dr. John Bardash hold on to the contacts for me for 9 months, I am back to wearing contacts daily and couldnot be happier with the prescription.
When I am in need of new contacts, I will absolutely be returning.

Wow ! I had such a great experience! Dr Bardash is very friendly and knowledgeable!
Great Great customer service I will totally recommend him to all my friends and family!

Dr. Bardash is super nice and knowledgable. He instantly made me feel very comfortable. The office is clean and all the staff members are pleasant. I will definitely be going back and would recommend to anyone looking for a good eye doctor.

Dr. Crystal Kasper was my eye doc this time instead of Dr. John Bardash. At first I was hesitant because I had really enjoyed my visits with Dr. John but she was great. Very detailed explanations of everything. After being fitted for a new prescription she had me redo the eye exam and then adjusted the prescription again by .25 to make sure that I did not have too much magnification.
Super happy with both docs!

I am pretty picky about my medical care, and Dr. Bardash is by far the best optometrist I have seen in Denver. Don’t be put off by the mall location. The staff is all excellent and Dr. Bardash takes his time to get things right. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Dr Bardash and his team are everything you want on your eye care team! They live up to the 5 star rating here on Unilocal and I’m so glad we (both my hubby and I) chose him as our new Doc. Everything was explained to us thoroughly and we felt a kinship with him and his staff. (well, ok… maybe we didn’t warm up as much with Ryan, the guy who helped us pick out our frames… but in his defense, my husband has dry humour and I just don’t think he «got» us.) Everyone else did a great job with their «courtesy laughs» and chimed in occasionally. I can’t wait to get my new glasses! And I can’t wait to see my husband in his! :)

The entire process was perfection. I could swear that this practice was staffed behind the scenes with efficiency experts and project management professionals. When I arrived as a first time customer everything was already setup with insurance, history, paperwork, etc from the online registration process.
Dr. Crystal Kasper was amazing and I suspect the entire practice is as knowledgeable and helpful as she was. Her guidance was excellent and helped lock into my best prescription and contact set ever.
Will absolutely be referring them to everyone I know.
