      I recommend Dr. Conklin to a lot of people as I think he is one of the best. He is so thorough, answers all questions, and Very easy to talk with. I have been seeing him since moving back to Lexington in 2009 when Dr. Hoellein recommended him.

      Dr. Conklin performed Lasik surgery on me in 2001. I had not seen him for two decades, not really needing ophthalmologic care during that period. Cataract surgery is in my foreseeable future, so I reached out to his office. They scheduled me very quickly, and the entire office examination process was exceptional. Very competent and caring staff. And John Conklin is an outstanding physician.

      Dr. Conklin basically came in, looked at my chart and said Cataract surgery was elective and I would need to determine if I wanted it or not. In regards to my questions about glasses, tired eyes from working on a computer all day and the glasses I had been given from my previous eye doctor, he shrugged, said they don't work and gave me some sample drops and said, this may help. He shrugged off most of my questions, seemed in a hurry to get going and I felt like he had no concern for my particular concerns. I'm even unsure why they had to dilate my eyes. He barely looked at them. Before I return, I will ask for another physician who will actually take an interest. The thing is, when I saw Dr. Conklin a few years ago, he was the exact same way. When I called for an appointment I asked for a new physician, but they said I needed to be seen by him since that was who I'd seen before, and all my records were under his name. I will go to an outside facility before I will be seen by him again.
