Great staff! Dr Patel is the best. Friendly, very knowledgeable in her field, explains findings in depth and answers questions. Referred byDrBui and rave reviews by my wife and a friend of ours both under Dr. Patel's care. They didn't exaggerate!

I appreciate the friendly and professional attention I received. I also feel that what is recommended, such as the need for a surgical procedure or new glasses is only done when necessary. I like the more conservative need for action approach.

Trust Dr Patel explicitly with the care of my eyes. High pressure in L eye noted by staff on routine checkup. Within minutes Dr Patel alerted and came to check. Calm, thorough, explaining everything as she examined my eyes. Her staff and assistants are expertly trained, friendly and efficient. A definite 5-star from my family!

Professional and excellent customer service. Dr. Patel actually came in on the weekend to see me and treat my eye trauma. She is an excellent doctor that clearly has passion for not only profession but most importantly for her patients! Thank you Dr. Patel!

Dr. Patel and her staff are very friendly, yet professional. I am impressed that they use all the latest technology to help diagnose any eye issues in their patients.

The staff were thorough and very responsive. I found out my vision issues were more serious than I thought. Dr. Patel was not quick to make a diagnosis and has referred me to another specialist who treats the suspected condition on a regular basis. I was most appreciative of her straight forward commentary.

Dr Patel is my Hero doctor. She saved my life!
I woke up one morning with a pain in my right temple and my right eye felt scratched as though the cornea was damaged. The pain was constant and becoming more intense so I went to the ER and had a C-T scan and a blood test for Large Cell Arteritis which was negative. I went to Dr Patel and she saw that my right eye and eyelid were atrophying and sent me straight to the ER at Wesley. They saw by the high contrast C-T scan and MRI that I had an aneurysm behind the eye and needed emergency surgery.
Thank you Dr Patel!

They have the state of art equipment, to do all the testing so we can make the best decisions on the type of surgery that will be best for me. Dr Patel's staff was very helpful and professional and I look forward to the improvement to my eye sight.

I've been suffering with dry eyes for a long time, the doctor got to the root of my eye problems quickly. She explained everything to me and had workable solutions. I wish I had gone to her sooner!
Wonderful staff too! I highly recommend!

Feeling like a miracle happen, went in to see Dr Patel knowing I wanted lasik. BEST LIFE CHOICES IVE EVER MADE. Lasik was worth it and everyone at the location was super friendly and helpful while preparing for surgery and now even after.
Thank you

Very professional staff and Dr Patel is the best. She’s very knowledgeable and likes to educate her patients on their eye difficulties. Another wonderful experience yesterday at my appointment. I highly recommend her for excellent eye care. Thank you

You pay for what you get. Dr. Patel and her highly skilled staff are top notch. Dr. Patel is arguably the best Ophthalmologist in the region, and with that her patients are given the best care. She provides every patient with the knowledge and recommendations that only the best can provide. Each patient is treated like the only patient. A long wait period only reinforces that each patient is given the best care possible. If Dr. Patel doesn’t have the answer, then she will find the answer. Wichita Vision Institute, because your eyes deserve the best!

Dr Reena Patel is the epitome of professional competence - up-to-the-minute medical knowledge with precise manual skills to use laser to remove cataract that would have cost me my sight. I’m now 20/20 again. AND not only competent but caring as well. She is a “water-walker.”

My boyfriend suffered a serious injury in his right eye at work in April of 2019, he had been legally blind since a young age in his left eye so he was essentially blind. We were both terrified.
Dr. Patel and her staff were awesome to say the least. It took several months and numerous office visits but today his sight is better than ever. Not only did Dr Patel fix the injured eye with stem cell technology she worked like a " woman possessed " to figure out the issue with the left eye. She and her staff are dedicated and friendly. They dealt with workers comp without complaints. Dr Patel was stern with him when he needed it ( he's not the worlds best patient), and encouraging along the way. I can't say enough good things about this doc. Sometimes the wait to see her is long but definitely worth it. His sight is better than it has been for most of his life. I work as a medical professional as well and will definitely refer patients to the Wichita Vision Institute. I guess that's the highest praise I can give. Dr Patel and her staff have had a huge and positive impact upon our lives and we are forever grateful. ❤️

Dr. Patel is very kind and does great work but the wait time is a bit ridiculous. I’m looking for a new eye doctor as mine apparently retired but due to the waiting room times I’ll b looking elsewhere.

Best experience ever!! I had laser surgery on both eyes with very good results! Doctor Patel and her staff was always very professional and knowledgeable! Wichita is very lucky to have this caliber of eye care! Ridgewood Surgery Center where Patel does most of her procedures was also very helpful in answering my insurance questions!

I was referred here by my retina specialist for lens replacement. I loved this place. Dr Patel was great, explained things to where I could understand them and was very polite. She took her time at out appointments and didn’t rush through. The staff is awesome, very polite and helping.

Lasik surgery went very well and I can see 20/20, haven't been able to function without glasses since I was 9. Dr. Patel is very professional, knowledgeable, caring, and her staff is exceptional. She actually took the time to check on me post surgery on her personal time after hours. I appreciate everything she and her staff have done! Highly recommended!!

Dr. Patel is a physician whose sincere goal is to improve the quality of life for her patients.
When I first became a patient under Dr. Patel’s care, I was diagnosed with cataracts in both of my eyes; dry eye syndrome; and astigmatism. Previous records from my Lasik surgery, which occurred 17 years ago, were no longer available. The Lasik surgery documentation was important in determining the exact corrections that now needed to be made to properly correct my astigmatism. Dr. Patel wisely recommended I postpone the cataract removal and astigmatism correction procedure, until she received newly developed diagnostic equipment. This newly developed technology would provide her with the most accurate metrics possible. New specialized lens implants were also becoming available, which would correct my astigmatism. Dr. Patel explained my chances for a successful outcome would be significantly increased if I would be patient and wait a little longer. Dr. Patel is truly a physician with high integrity and would never perform surgery until she knew it was the right time. She truly cares about providing her patients with the best care she can.
Dr. Patel successfully treated my dry eye symptoms with a regiment of eye drops, cleansing techniques and vitamins, which prevented me from requiring more extensive - and more expensive treatment. Prior to the surgery on my right eye, she provided me with sample eye drops from her office and coupons for the eye drops I would need to purchase after my surgery. She did all she could to reduce my expenses.
During preparations for right eye surgery, Dr. Patel spent quality time with me explaining the results of my pre-surgery testing and asking questions to determine my vision goals. One of my desires was to once again see the front sight on a pistol. I thoroughly enjoyed going to the firing range, but due to the cataract in my right eye I could no longer see the sights, on my pistol. Although the cataract in my left eye was not as bad yet – I was also experiencing difficulty seeing and firing left handed. Using a blue gun (authentic plastic replica of a Sig P229 pistol), Dr. Patel took additional measurements which she used in determining the correct lens to implant, during my surgery.
My right eye surgery took place on November 1, 2017. Two days after the surgery, I happened to glance at my mobile phone and for the first time in 10 years or more, I could read the information on the screen without glasses. I pulled the Sig out of its case and – wow! – The sight picture was there clear as a bell. So the right eye cataract is gone along with the rainbow halos around cars at night and the astigmatism has been corrected better than I dreamed possible. Quality of life restored!
The process included the latest diagnostic equipment; the newest technology in an intraocular lens implant; and the use of a laser surgery technique performed by Dr. Patel.
Dr. Patel is a very accomplished and highly competent physician and surgeon. I will be forever grateful to her for restoring my vision. I highly recommend Dr. Patel.

I had glasses starting in grade school. I just had lasik surgery last week at the age of 33. Words can not say enough. Those with good eye sight shouldn't take it fore granted. This was a life changing event for me. My eye sight was almost a -10. The staff was friendly and professional as well as Dr. Patel. She really takes good care of you. Wanting you to completely understand it all. The procedure was just like how it was stated in the information they provide you. It was scary a bit for me during the actual procedure just because it was something new to me. Being able to see up close and far aware without wearing heavy glasses and always adjusting them, and no more wearing contacts that dried my eyes which resulted usually to eye tension headaches. Thank you Dr. Patel and the staff. You have changed my life. My vision is worth it! The only complaint is the wait! Each visit I was there 2-3 hours. . .

I had lasik done by Dr. Patel about 5 years ago. Today I went in to have my yearly eye checkup in my home town and they couldn't even find my scars. Excellent job by and excellent Dr. I recommend WVI to everyone who asks me about my lasik. Eyes are still perfect 5 years later.
Caitlin L.
There's never been a time, that I could remember, opening my eyes and see perfectly clear. I got glasses when I was 6 and contacts a few years later. I decided I wanted to look into LASIK and found WVI. At my first visit I knew Dr. Patel was the perfect doctor for me. She is very personable and relational! Answered all my questions and did lots of research to make sure I was a good candidate for surgery. I highly recommend WVI and Dr. Patel for anyone, young or old!
Hector O.
Dr.Patel gave me my vision back!! She asks questions for you. She's straight up with you. During surgery I did not feel a single feeling of pain or anythng. She and her assistants are very nice people and make you feel very confortable. She goes out of her way to make sure you are satisfied with the job she has done, contacts you on her personal time to make sure your doing OK. Over all I am SOO HAPPY that I can see with out contacts or glasses. I almost cried when I opened my eyes and saw everything clearly!!

Thank u to Dr. Patel and her wonderful staff for making my LASIK surgery so smooth. Everyone offered a patient, gentle and caring touch through this process. I will always refer my family and friends to Dr. Patel.
Tom R.
Dr. Patel is such a thorough and caring Doctor. From start to finish the entire staff does an amazing job of explaining and makes sure that you feel confident in your treatment. The waits can sometimes be long but it is more than worth the wait because she values her patients and isn't just worried about the numbers.
