Nice office and friendly staff. I made my appointment online and it was super easy. I would recommend Dr. Bigles and will be back next year.
Verified patient
Ughhh! They had no idea I had made appt online,seemed to triple book spots. Waited 1 1/2 hours before my husband pitched a fit. I was on schedule for a complete exam instead of having the dr look at broken veins in my eye. I was with the dr 5 mins. Front office staff made a horrible impression. Too busy drinking diet cokes and gossiping instead of making sure patients were informed and comfortable.
Verified patient
First time going to the Covington Office. All the staff were very nice - the appointment wait time was totally appropriate. I figure anytime I can walk into a doc appt. and out within 1 hour - thats great ! ! Thanks for respecting your patients time! Doc Bigles is great & takes the time to explain and discuss what your situation is. Would definitely refer patient here!!
Verified patient
He was great! Seems like to have a practice where the patience truly feels cared for. Not like those "car wash" style huge ophtamology practice were you feel like they care about every but you). We are going back for soon for a cataract surgery pre admission visit.

The staff is very helpful and it was a great experience beginning to end. Dr. Bigles is by far the most knowledgeable Ophthalmologists I have have meet. Looking forward to my cataract surgery next week.
