Wonderful experience with a great outcome. Great team of professionals who are interested in improving the lives of their patients with better vision. Also, the OP Surgical Center of Asheville gets 5 stars as well. Thanks to everyone who played a part in my cataract surgery.... especially Dr. Karo.

Had my first cataract surgery w Dr Karo last Fri, seeing better then I have in 30 years! It was my distance eye and I am reading with it! Looking forward to next one. Dr Karo and his staff are top notch. Also a shout out to the surgery center where he does his operation..super well oiled machine, great people.

I will have my second procedure with Dr. Karo next week. I am so pleased with his care, I plan to have him do all my eye care going forward. His staff is warm, personal, and friendly--Hi Tish, Hi Renee--and precisely professional--a rare combination. They all take time to explain things and answer questions with no pressure. The office is comfortable and attractive. I'm really glad I found them.

Due to a very positive previous experience, we made the decision to travel from our home in Ireland to take advantage of the skills and professionalism of WNC Ophthalmology. Dr Karo and his associates have again provided my wife and I with the best in customer/patient service including timely and complete communication, appointments kept as promised with no long waits all within an energetic atmosphere.WNC Ophthalmology, under Dr. Karo’s leadership, exhibits the highest in professionalism. We strongly recommend them.

Wonderful experience. Dr Karo is so skilled and supportive. My vision is better than ever and being able to see clearly without glasses is a phenomenal experience. If you need cataract surgery and options to enhance your vision, then this is the place to actualize that goal. I will be eternally grateful that they were recommended to me!
