Tomy Starck, MD – UltraVision

I had an appointment with Dr. Tony Urbina and let me tell you, it’s an amazing experience. He was kind, and extremely educated on my eye issues. Being a young man with astigmatism and eye problems, he was quick to educate me on my eye issues and also quick to recommend contacts that offered me the comfort I needed. The office is GORGEOUS and in one of the best areas of San Antonio. I have always offered my recommendation to Dr. Urbina on multiple occasions. He’s truly one of the best young optometrists in San Antonio!

Dr. Starck and staff are amazing people. They were friendly and professional. Not only did the doctor educate me about my procedure he took me through each step and made me feel comfortable. LASIK with Dr. Starck is the best decision anyone could ever make. :)

I’ve been coming to this office for my regular check ups and I’ve always been told that I should get LASIK done.
After I did some research, I found that Dr. Stark is ranked as one of the best (top 10) LASIK surgeons in San Antonio. My cousin, who is an Optometrist in LA, did some Intel and also found high ratings for Dr. Stark.
So, I decided to go with it. The price is a little more experience compared to other doctors, but it’s my eyes and I was more than ok with paying for quality and getting it done the right way the first time around.
I met with Dr. Stark the day before my surgery and he went through the procedure with me and all the expectations. Surgery day came and everything went fine. I had a check up the next day and we had some minor concerns and was asked to come in the following day. Regardless, I felt like I was taken care of during the entire process.
The staff at this place is amazing. Jennifer is responsible for setting up LASIK appointments and made everything super easy. She even called me the night after my surgery to check on me and gave me her cell to call if I needed anything. That’s what you ac service!!!
My only complaint is that waiting for my follow ups were lengthy at times. But, I got over it quickly when I was advised that I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision!!! Woohoo!!!
I strongly recommend Dr. Stark and has staff!!!

Dr. Starck performed cataract surgery on me in October of last year. I have gone for all of my regular checkups since the surgery. On a visit in February that I had with one of the associate doctors in his practice, I complained of a dark spot on my eye in the sight of my vision and explained that it had appeared 3 days before this visit and had not moved. I was told that I had a «floater» and that it would either go away or I would get used to it. I waited 4 l/​2 moths for it to go away or for me to get used to it. Neither has happened. I made an appointment with Dr Starck to get his opinion on the issue. I arrived at the for this appointment on time. After waiting one and a half hours I inquired if the good doctor was actually in office. After about 10 minutes I was admitted to an exam room where an assistant examined my eyes, had me read the eye chart and had me explain the situation to her. After about another 45 minutes Dr. Starck finally made his appearance and I explained the situation to him and also explained to him that I was also suffering because my eye always felt like it had grain of sand in it, my vision was blurry and I had difficulty reading and driving and it was interfering with my life. The doctor examined my eye and said I had a floater and there was nothing to be done it. I told the doctor that I had had floaters before but they never make my vision blurry, make me see double or shadows around objects. At this time he asked me if I had palsy or any nerve damage to my facial area. I told him that I had not, he became argumentative and said it certainly appeared to him that I had palsy or nerve damage. At this point I asked him how that had anything to do with my eye feeling as if it had grains of sand it it and blurred vision. At this point he said I had better be careful how I talked to him because he was the doctor and he certainly knew what he was talking about. At this point he thrust a mirror toward me and asked me to grimace, blink my eyes, raise my eyebrows blink rapidly and this went on for some time with him saying «see, see how your eye twitches when you do these things?» I told him that I did not see my eye twitch and how would that affect my eye sight. He went on about how if the eye didn’t close properly that it would not lubricate properly. I asked him why then when I woke up after a full nights sleep that I had these problems. Now he suggested that I probably slept with my eyes partially opened. For some reason the picture in my head of me sleeping with my eyes open seemed funny and I smiled. This mad the good doctor very angry and at this point he said that if I was going to act as if he didn’t know what he was talking about perhaps I had better find another doctor. At this point I said I thought he was right and I would do that. As I got up to leave he said, «You’ll be receiving a letter from me.» To this I replied that he could also expect a letter from me. He had more to say to me as I walked down the hall but by this time I had stopped listening to him. I will find another doctor and I will be reporting his uncalled for behavior to my insurance company and I will be contacting my attorney to find what other legal recourse I may have against the good doctor. I would not recommend Tony Starck to anyone I know or anyone I do not know.

Dr. Starck saved me from going blind due to Fuch’s Dystrophy. He did bilateral corneal transplants and cataract surgery.
I went from wearing trifocals to just readers.
I thank God for the skill of this surgeon.

I was refrred to Dr. Starck in March of 2012. My left eye was infected from a bad lasik job that I had gotten in California. Dr. Starck took a bunch of pictures, and then prescribed some medicine. The next day, my eye was no better. I went back to Dr. Starck, and he prescribed more medcine. My eye did not get better, so I found another Dr. who treated it correctly. When I went back to Dr. Starck’s office to get my medical records (for a possible lawsuit against the first Dr.), I was charged $ 25.00 for them to copy my medical records! $ 25.00!!! Are you kidding me? Place is kind of run down, carpets need cleaning, etc. This looks like a money-​grab for medicade patients. Don’t take your vision here.
