What a top notch
And highly professional facility
High detail oriented organization all focused on the client safety and comfort.
From the moment I checked in until I was wheelchaired out to the car with my waiting driver to take me home I was in a comfort zone.
No pain
No problems

I came to John Kenyon years ago when Dr. John was still at the clinic. He did my original surgeries under an investigational study. I continued going to the clinic at his request for follow-up even though it was a 3 hour drive for me. I have continued to go to the clinic after he retired due to the number of issues I have had with my vision (not surgery related). Unfortunately, I have seen an extreme decline in service since he has left. Among my chief complaints is that they cannot seem to keep patient visits on time. I asked when I check in if they are on time and they say yes, but then you are left setting in the waiting room for an hour prior to being called back and your visit even started. It is disrespectful and rude. I would no longer recommend the doctors or the facilities to anyone.

I had the Surface Ablation Surgery in both eyes on 12/17/20. I had been very nervous for the surgery, especially since with COVID my boyfriend could not go inside the building with me. From the moment I entered the office, the secretaries at the front desk were very kind and welcoming. Once I went back to see the nurses, everyone was very friendly and explained in detail what I could expect. When it came time for the procedure, I was still nervous, and the nurses were so considerate. One nurse even kept her hand on my shoulder the entire length of the procedure! Dr. Piracha performed my procedure. He was very quick, efficient, and professional. (The procedure really was not bad at all, and very quick) I cannot recommend this office and Dr. Piracha enough !!! I have never been to a doctors/medical office where the staff were so welcoming!!
5 days since my procedure, and everything is healing well. Very glad I chose to come to John Kenyon!
ALSO, I am a special education teacher. My students had been very interested/concerned about the procedure - as it had caused me to miss a couple days of school. The nurses made sure to get me extra copies of my eye scans as well as a photo of me with Dr. Piracha to share with my students!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Such a thorough exam and such courtesy shown by the staff and Dr. Piracha has a great way about him and carefully, and thoroughly explained all my options.

UPDATE: you'll need to return a few times post-surgery to have the Doctors check your eyes. This is my final post-surgery check up and I'm thankful for that! There seems to be no system in place to manage appointments. The waiting at this practice is maddening! I'm a working professional and find it more than a minor inconvenience to watch the clock tick away as I, once again, sit in their waiting room on 15 year old furniture being forced to be assaulted by The Kelly&Michael Show playing on the TV. If I wasn't confident that I was receiving the best eye care available in the area, I'd bail. I still highly recommend, but temper your expectations for anything that resembles on-time, well managed check-ups. By the way, surgery day will run like clockwork. It's just the pre and post appointments that are frustrating. Last thing, I'm almost 55 and my vision has been tweaked back up to 20/20 so I guess the waiting is a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I had LASIK performed by Dr. John about 10 years ago with stellar results. Just recently has a "touch up" to my right eye by Dr. Piracha using ASA. These results aren't as immediate as LASIK, but I'm definitely seeing improvements as each day passes. I recommend this as a fast, affordable and pain free vision enhancement if you've previously had LASIK. As others have remarked, be prepared to wait. One last thing, I think the furniture and interior finishes are the same as when I was here a decade ago. Don't let that cause you any concern, this place provides top rate results.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 31, 2015Previous reviewI had LASIK performed by Dr. John about 10 years ago with stellar results.

I had LASIK here almost 8 years ago and I'm still seeing 20/20.
Dr. Piracha and his team are the best and make the whole process really easy. I felt at ease the entire time and had someone there holding my hand throughout the surgery. I'd worn contacts/glasses since I was 8 years old so being able to see 20/15 (better than 20/20!) the next day was an incredible feeling.
Just wish I had the surgery earlier. Definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Deedee Batura L.Memphis, IN60233Jun 1, 2015
After sitting in the waiting area and room for over 2 hours and I looking out the door and the DR. and nurses we cutting up and laughing. I asked how much longer will I have to wait and they said oh maybe 15-20 min. I walked out!! Really??? Like my time isn't valuable?
This office is ridiculous for waiting times.. You should have a half a day to got to this Dr.s office.
Update! Deana called from John Kenyon and said she would look into this Dr. & Nurse's issue/ long wait times. She was very nice and tried to make it right. We were impressed! Thanks...Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - David H.Bardstown, KY04Jun 28, 2018
Amazing Experience.
After getting fed up with dealing with contact lenses, I started my search for the best surgeon to go to for Lasik. Being a physician myself, I started asking around and the same name kept coming up, Dr. Piracha. The whole experience was perfect. I have a difficult, unpredictable schedule, but they were also able to accommodate. The whole team was very professional and friendly. The procedure itself was painless, as was the recovery. While others I had talked to spoke of the "sand in the eye" feeling postop, I experienced none. Within days, I was seeing better than I ever did with corrective lenses. Overall, I could not have been more pleased with the whole process.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Martin Martin L.Louisville, KY05Oct 18, 2018
Thank the heavens I decided to get a second opinion before having eye surgery here. I initially went here for a lasik consult after seeing one of their adds thru local media. The exam was no charge then they sat me in front of pictures of local news anchors who supposedly had their eye issues fixed at this place and gave me a price for LASIK surgery. I felt like I was buying a used car. I was told I could have the surgery after Dr Pietra exhumation. A week later I went to a different eye doctor to get an exam for LASIK so I could compare and this doctor told me I could not have LASIK that I in fact had glaucoma eye disease in both of my eyes and I was losing my vision. If I would of had LASIk my results could of been blindness. I would not recommend this place ...
