The Wise Vision Group

I had near perfect vision until about 2 years ago. I initially went to a Target optical and had a horrible experience, left crying with contacts that didn’t work, and glasses that were far too heavy. I was diagnosed with keratoconus, a pretty rare eye condition, so after some research came to see Dr. Wise.
Every time I see him he answers all of my questions, educates me, and I feel like he really gives me unbiased opinion on treatment options for me. He put me in contact with a group that is enrolling patients in a clinical study for crosslinking to treat keratoconus.
I’m very glad I found Dr. Wise who is one of the best in the state and part of University of Colorado so he is always up to date on the latest and greatest. Plus the office is downtown, modern, I never have to wait long, and everyone is friendly.
This might not be the office for people with normal vision correction issues, but if you have any corneal problems, or more difficult vision issues, this is definitely the place to be.

I highly recommend Dr. Wise and his clinic. He found early signs of eye disease and retina tears that otherwise would have gone unnoticed until it was too late to save my vision. He made an effort to get me scheduled for emergency surgery. Dr. Wise takes the time to be with his patients and does not rush you through on a treadmill. He is careful, thoughtful and caring. I truly feel lucky to have found him. A compliment to Dr. Wise, his practice has now joined the University of Colorado. This also gives him access to the specialist doctors and resources at Anschutz Hospital. Thank you Dr. Wise.

I’ve been going here for 2 years simply because they accepted my insurance and it was withing biking distance from my house. I have never experienced a long wait time at the office.
While the front staff is polite, the technicians and doctor here aren’t quite. When I was first seen last year (May 2011) neither the technician nor the doctor even made eye contact with me during my visit. A little strange for an eye doc, no? (The technician literally performed my intake with her back turned to me the entire time) They were rude, hurried and didn’t seem interested in my comfort or educating me about the changes in my vision. When I went again this year, the technician was a bit friendlier but the doctor was the same. It seems he is too busy for patients. When I asked him about the possibility of laser correction he was very negative, handed me a pamphlet and sent me on my way.
The convenience of the location no longer matters to me. I’ll definitely be finding a different doctor next year. It’s my money, my health and I think I deserve better.

I have been going here for 2 years and just called to make an appointment and they told me they no longer take insurance. What kind of medical office doesn’t take insurance? They didn’t even fight for my business, just told me the name of someone else to go see.
Obviously they don’t value me as a patient if they are indifferent about me leaving. Don’t bother.

First off, if you have Avesis, change insurance or don’t go here. Because I had Avesis vision I had to pay a $ 25 fee just to get my eyes dilated, which is pretty important to do at an eye exam. Apparently I had a $ 10 copay for my regular exam, but then it was $ 70 for a contact lens exam, add in the $ 25 just for dilation and $ 45 for the picture of the back of your eye and I got an eye appointment that was about 5 times more than it should be. A little more waiting than I expected but otherwise good overall.

Think car sales men! The whole office is darkly lit and my appt. started out with me & 2 men techs in a room by myself for about 30 min (I had no idea who they were or if one of them was the Dr. because I never received an introduciton.) Then another man came in for a few minutes and I finally asked, «so are any of you Dr. Wise?! I finally got an introduction, what a novel idea. He proceeded to spend about 5 min. with me to go over contact prices and then said, «yep, everything looks good we’ll just put you in the same prescription that your last Dr. had you in!» Overall very impersonal, awkward & overpriced! Don’t settle for this place, you can do much better!

If you’re looking for top-​notch eye care, this is the place to go.
Not only are all of the folks who work there very nice and professional, but Dr. Zuber was very thorough with my eye-​exam and made sure to explain everything to me in a «human» way, which was quite pleasant. Since I needed contacts, he also did his best to try and save me few bucks with a rebate coupon.
The office itself, though located downtown, is easily accessible as it has it’s own parking-​major plus. The interior is contemporary and clean and all of the equipment and technology is the same.
Your eyes are your windows to the world, so do yourself a favor and pamper your peepers by a visit to Wise Vision Group, you won’t be disappointed.

This is the ophthalmologist that Rose ER referred me to. First off I totally forgot I had an appointment until it had just started. After a frantic phone call they were nice enough to tell me to go ahead and come in anyway if I could make it there in 20 minutes or less. How awesome and understanding is that? It was very.
The office is super nice and very modern. There were lots of crazy eye tests I had to do including the numbing drops and poking mechanism. If you’ve never experienced this I’m jealous of you.
Dr. Wise is great, and so is his staff, at making everything as comfortable as possible when they are doing weird things to your eyes. And they are also very understanding if you have über-​reflexes that make it hard to do a lot of the testing.
They also have a resident optometrist that I’ll be going back to see when it’s time for my regular eye appointment again.
