The summary of the visit (paper work) was good. I was glad to know my conjunctivitis was an allergic reaction. The eye exam & new prescription will probably be very helpful.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2018
I was with the resident physician more than the physician I had the appointment with, but I didn't have a problem with that.

Dr. Mark McKay was wonderful, he has excellent bed side manner, completed a thorough eye exam and was friendly throughout the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. McKay to friends and family.

UofU Patient

Dr. McKay is clearly an expert caregiver, yet remains approachable and humble. I never imagined that having my eyes dilated could be a mostly pleasant experience!

UofU Patient
April 25, 2018
Dr. McKay took his time with me and explained everything very well.

UofU Patient
April 23, 2018
The Dr and Nurse knew this was our first time there and the first eye exam ever. We were unaware that an contact lens exam was something that we had to request. When I called back to ask for a contact lens prescription I was told that I needed to request that exam, it is sperate. When someone is new to an eye exam how are they to know that they only eye exam they do is for glasses and they need to request it separately? Consider we talked to the Dr about wearing contacts this should have been brought up. Very disappointed that we have to take more time off work to make another appointment for a contact exam.

UofU Patient
April 11, 2018
Dr. McKay is very professional and I trust him with my eye health. This is the second time I've seen him and he always explains my eye care in a way I can understand. He's very efficient and the best eye doctor I've had. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a check up.

UofU Patient
April 10, 2018
Dr. MacKay was very friendly and informative. I would have no hesitation in recommending him or seeing him again as a patient.

UofU Patient
March 11, 2018
I Thank him for given me an eye drop that has helped, a little, to cure my eye problem. I am waiting to see how it will work.

My mother was never given any information about her appointment even though this was a follow-up to an appointment she had on 2/22. The Dr. said there was a problem but when she returned, he took pictures of her eyes but never told her anything and never sent anythng to St. Joseph's nursing staff. She has been so upset since her last appointment because no can tell her what the problem was. She is 91 years old and has nothing else to do but worry about what the doctor meant. I need a report or a report needs to be mailed to her immediately so she can stop worrying.

UofU Patient
February 26, 2018
Dr. McKay was a peasure to speak with and I would recommend him to anyone

UofU Patient
February 23, 2018
Dr. McKay needs to talk more about what he is doing, why he is doing it, and what he finds - even it's nothing.

UofU Patient
February 23, 2018
I really like the place my mom took me . I really hope the lady that helped me will be there next time

UofU Patient
February 17, 2018
I wish that he would have outlined the whole process more. I feel like there was something that I was not understanding throughout the whole visit.

UofU Patient
February 01, 2018

UofU Patient
January 30, 2018
Dr. Mkay was very kind but somewhat slow. He would bounce back and forth between not speaking and carrying on with the exam (which I prefer) to pushing for small talk. I understand that he was trying to be personable but as I had waited a long time prior to seeing him I wanted to get in and get out. Once the exam was finished he continued to chat for another 10 minutes. Again, this usually wouldn't be a problem if I hadn't already been there for 2 hours.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
January 15, 2018
Dr. McKay is very good...he listens and knew exactly what I was asking/needing.

UofU Patient
January 10, 2018
Only complaint is it didn't seem like the provider remembered me or had read my chart prior to seeing me and this is my 3rd or 4th visit. I only see him annually but it feels strange to have him introduce himself. I don't expect him to "remember" everything about me, I just wish he would have recognized that it was not my first time seeing him.

UofU Patient
December 12, 2017
One thing I greatly appreciated was the doctor's acceptance of me having my 5 year-old son with me. He didn't say or do anything specific. He just treated the fact that my son was there as perfectly acceptable--this does not happen all the time in my experience. And it wasn't just the doctor-- another person working in the office gave him a high-five as we were leaving and said they liked his backpack. It was something small, but it made my day.

UofU Patient
December 05, 2017
I'm very visual so anyone coming at my eyes with anything is scary. Dr. McKay is very compassion and so skilled with all the eye equipment I'm never nervous. Excellent doctor I've recommended him to friends for years!!

UofU Patient
November 27, 2017
I was very impressed by Dr. Makay and the 4th year optometrist student who worked with me. They answered all my questions and treated me very well.

UofU Patient
November 25, 2017
Dr. McKay was exceptional, spent a lot of time answering some of my questions, did the exam himself, met me at reception.

UofU Patient
November 17, 2017
Dr. McKay was very helpful in figuring out my prescription. He listened to my concerns and addressed all of them. I appreciated his care very much.

UofU Patient
November 17, 2017
Dr McKay didn't consult me at all about the contacts ordered. I was thinking there would be a solution that would help out my close vision as in past prescriptions. When I asked what his recommendations were he simply said he was going to simplify for comfort sake. What I got was a straight distance set of lenses, no accommodation. Perhaps that was the most practical solution but there was no discussion whatsoever with me about that. There was no real effort at communication about my condition without me asking specific questions.

UofU Patient
November 06, 2017
He was very helpful and good at making sure I was comfortable during his exam and testing.

UofU Patient

Dr. McKay is amazing. He was so friendly, listened to my concerns, and easy to relate too.

UofU Patient
September 13, 2017
Dr. McKay answered all of my child's questions and explained what he was going to do. Dr. McKay was also considerate about my child's light sensitivity and did his best to minimize the bright lights.

UofU Patient
September 10, 2017
He seemed very rushed. He started checking things and put drops in my eyes without explaining anything. He didn't talk to me about how my eyes looked or my prescription. I wasn't told that I would be charged separately for both an glasses and contact prescription. He left me to get my contacts with no explanation.

UofU Patient
September 06, 2017
I appreciated Dr. McKay's genuine interest in not only my health/eyes, but a personal interest in who I was and what I did.

UofU Patient
September 04, 2017
over all very good

UofU Patient
September 03, 2017
Dr. McKay is an excellent optometrist. He clearly explains the exam procedure and has great interpersonal communication.

UofU Patient
August 05, 2017
Dr McKay was very professional, thorough, patient and showed my best interest to point. I will recommend him to others given the chance.

UofU Patient
July 21, 2017
In addition to Dr. McKay, there was another woman in the room, who, towards the end of the appointment, examined my eyes. She was never introduced to me and I don't know who she was or why she was there. PLEASE remember to let patients know who these "extra" people (med students, residents, fellows?) are and why they're involved in our care.

he talked to us with his back to us the while time while typing in the computer. he did talk to us about what he saw or what he thought

Dr. McKay is always so personable and thorough. I recommend him to anyone who is new to the area or needing a new eye doctor.

UofU Patient
June 27, 2017
Dr. McKay was helpful and easy to work with.

UofU Patient
June 26, 2017
I was somewhat surprised that the Dr. didn't ask more questions about personal health history or family history for a first-time visit. That said, all of my questions were answered clearly and thoroughly, and I though the visit was also thorough and complete.

UofU Patient
June 19, 2017
Dr. McKay is efficient, pleasant, takes time to explain everything including medications, what he is currently examining you for and what the next exam will be. He is very professional and cares about his patients. He makes time for each individual no matter what their issue may be. He is thorough and never condescends.

I was 90 minutes in the chair which seemed a little long. _____ exam could have been shorter but she seemed to be stalling for Dr. McKay to get there.

UofU Patient
June 05, 2017
Dr. McKay is amazing, he takes so much time to talk and put me at ease, I am very nervous when it comes to my eyes but he is excellent.

UofU Patient
February 20, 2017
Since it was the end of the day he may have spent more time with me; otherwise I felt a little guilty that he took that much time with me (it would have delayed people behind me in the queue).

UofU Patient
February 11, 2017
He was great, I thoroughly enjoy going to visit him. Thee was a point where we were looking at my record and we thought that we had dilated my eyes the last visit, which was not the case. He asked to be sure it was okay to dilate my eyes this time, which I was ready for and appreciated his concern.

UofU Patient
February 06, 2017
The eye doctor did not get me to a good enough vision quality on the eye tool and I feel he could have done better but did not want to.

UofU Patient
January 30, 2017
I had a 2:30 appointment and it was 4:10 before I saw the doctor. When he was busily finishing up with my prescriptions on the computer; his assistant came to brief him on his next appointment and the symptoms that patient was having, therefore, interrupting the doctor's concentration on his completing the notes on my exam. I actually could not believe that was happening and that that was apparently normal procedure or why else would that have happened during my appointment.

UofU Patient
January 05, 2017
Dr. McKay did not talk much during the exam. He didn't ask about problems I may of had . He didn't explain any of the procedures and what he was doing . I did have some concerns that I would of liked to be addressed , but did not feel that he would of taken the time to answer my questions

UofU Patient
December 08, 2016
He took his time to look up some great information on a question I asked him such as about some videos I watched on what vegetable can help to improve your eye sight. He listened and never made it seem as thought I was asking some weird question His dedication to his profession is the (BEST) I have had in the 24 Yrs. I felt comfortable asking question and I left the visit with all my question answered him... the best part was not once did I feel as he thought my question was weird.

UofU Patient

Dr. Mckay went out of his way to make my five year old feel comfortable while preforming the exam. he took the time to explain everything to both her and myself. I was very pleased with both the doctor and his office's ability to work around our special circumstances

UofU Patient
November 13, 2016
He really didn't discuss anything about my vision . I gues I would have liked him to explain the information on the paperwork he handed me on my way out the door. Google I guess did a good job explaining it all.

UofU Patient
November 10, 2016
We spoke a good deal, but not about my eyes. I left with the assumption that there were no real problems or he would have told me, but he actually never mentioned any specifics about how my eyes seem to him. He is very nice, and seems knowledgeable though.

UofU Patient
October 25, 2016
There wasn't much to discuss beyond what was already discussed with the assistant, but they were nice and easy to talk to.

Dr. McKay is very friendly personally and attentive to his patient.

UofU Patient
October 08, 2016
I think the student did a great job at coming up with the right prescription. I felt like Dr. McKay just used what the student came up with so if I hadn't been seen by student first, Dr. McKay probably wouldn't have bothered to fix it - just like he didn't bother the first time. I really think I'd be better off going to Lens Crafters.

Dr. McKay is above and beyond the best optometrist that I've ever had. He always takes the time to ask about how I am personally doing, and work through any eye health concerns I may have. Moreover, he is genuinely nice, always asks about my work, and talks me through the different procedures.

UofU Patient
August 14, 2016

UofU Patient

talked in medical terms and I still don't know why I'm seeing a black spot and will it go away or if it is there permanently

UofU Patient
August 08, 2016
Maybe Utah just does things different, but a lot of the exams i had were very different than what i am use to. There didn't seem to be tests of near sightedness. Very little on peripheral vision. Didn't give a lot of info, but it was just a routine exam.

UofU Patient
August 06, 2016
I am very satisfied with the care I receive. Dr. Mckay is thorough.

UofU Patient
April 11, 2016
My provider indicated there was a little change in my glasses prescription. Turns out, he had prescribed bifocals, which I have never had before. A move from a single lens to a bifocal is NOT what I consider a little change. It would have been nice to have the provider explain this change to me at my visit so we could have had a discussion about it. I have many questions about bifocals that will go unanswered as I don't know a good way to get my questions answered by my provider now that my appointment is over and done with.

UofU Patient
April 10, 2016
I got excellent care. I would like Dr. McKay to know that my eyes stayed dilated well into the next day. My appointment was Friday morning. I was still dilated (very light sensitive and difficulty focusing) until Saturday afternoon. That has never happened before.

UofU Patient
April 05, 2016
My son had some difficulty with blinking and pulling away during the exam and the doctor noticed this, offered to help with additional drops etc. explaining there wasn't a reason to flinch. Setting the expectation helped my son.

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
I always appreciate the time the dr. spends to make sure that I understand what's going on with my eyes.

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
Dr. McKay is an absolute sweetheart. I had been with my previous provider since 1997 and he made me feel at home and at ease.

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
Dr. Mackay didn't need to spend a significant amount of time with me. He was very nice, but all of my questions had already been answered by the student.

Dr Mackay was very good with my 10 yr old son. He gave clear instructions and explained what he was doing as he was conducting an eye examine on my son. Very pleasant and professional

UofU Patient
March 09, 2016
The Dr. I used to see (now retired) did an examination that was three times more detailed and thorough than the care provided I just saw. Dr Olaffsen took the time to do an examination in depth preventing future problems as well. This was a superficial, short, in and out visit and he didn't seem to be familiar with the problem I had.

UofU Patient
March 07, 2016
He made my visit great and it was over in no time. I really hate to go the dr.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
January 29, 2016
It has been less than a week and I have already recommended Dr. McKay to two people. I was absolutely comforted by him, not to mention he laughed at my terrible jokes to comfort me, so thank you haha! No, truly he was more than fantastic, he was calm, collected, and explained everything to me with ease. I certainly will and, yes have recommended Dr. McKay at the Moran Eye Center.

UofU Patient
January 27, 2016
I had a very good experience with Dr. McKay.

UofU Patient
January 07, 2016
MD was clearly very knowledgable of his area of practice but could put more attention to communication with pt/parent- Would strongly recommend making eye contact when speaking with pt/parent and being very clear about findings and recommendations without pt/parent having to ask-

UofU Patient

Dr McKay is wonderful, kind and always very prompt.

UofU Patient

I really like Dr. McKay and plan to stick with him.

UofU Patient
December 16, 2015
When Dr. McKay dilated my eyes, he left the room and said he'd be back in a few minutes. It actually turned out to be 20 minutes before he returned, so I wish he would have just told me he would be back in 20 minutes instead of a "few" minutes.

UofU Patient
November 29, 2015

UofU Patient
November 17, 2015
I used to see Dr McKay at Old Mill which was very convenient for me. I am sorry that he does not work at the new facility in Murray. I have always been very satisfied with his care as he actually listens to one's concerns and does something about it. When I was last at the main Moran center (at the U) in 2014 I had several concerns about dry eye and contact lens discomfort, but the provider (not Dr McKay) there did not appear to be interested. That was the reason that I sought out the care of Dr McKay even though going to the Redwood clinic is not as convenient. Dr McKay has suggested trying a different contact lens (which I do not have yet). This may or may not work, but at least he is trying to find a solution instead of shrugging his shoulders and telling me that I have to live with the problem.

UofU Patient
November 16, 2015
I had a high level of confidence in Dr. McKay.

UofU Patient
November 14, 2015
The care provider was more interested in talking about his family situation. He told me he was going to prescribe some new eye lubricants, but forgot to give me the prescription. Its only after I left did I realize that I did not have the new prescription. This is the second time that I visited in less than 3 months for the same problem. He seemed in such a hurry to get me out of there. I used to get treated by a different doctor until this doctor started attending to me. The previous doctor genuinely cared about his patients. It seems this doctor dosent care and just hurries it like a chore. I would think I would get better diagnosis if I came back for the same problem.

UofU Patient
October 23, 2015
Dr. McKay is always great to see and I think he does an excellent job with the care he provides. He's always willing to answer questions and make sure I have everything I need. He is also great at remembering who I am every year!

UofU Patient
October 12, 2015
I had an eye exam three weeks ago and went elsewhere for glasses. Once I received the glasses I found out that the prescription in one eye was incorrect. This is the first time that I have ever received an incorrect eye prescription.

UofU Patient
October 10, 2015
The trainee and Dr. McKay were fantastic. Both were very kind and friendly, answering all of my questions. Dr. McKay took time to have friendly conversation, as well. I didn't feel rushed and I definitely felt cared for. Excellent experience!

Dr Mackay was pleasant and efficient. Even though there was a break (about 20min inbetween the visit, I didn't mind because I brought reading with me and he informed me that it would be a wait).

UofU Patient
October 02, 2015
i would highly recommend this care provider

UofU Patient
September 16, 2015
Very good first experience with Dr. McKay - he was very personable and made me feel comfortable; he was attentive and I felt my concerns were heard and addressed adequately. Thank you!

UofU Patient

There were a few minor things that bothered me a bit. First, when I had to take out my contact lenses for the eye exam, there wasn't a table or mirror, or anything to make that process easier. I had to do it on my lap and ended up spilling contact solution on my skirt. Second, the doctor just put eye drops in my eyes without explaining what he was doing. He did this twice. And the second set of drops was to dilate my eyes. And he did not ask me if I was driving, needed to do something important after the visit, etc.. No warning whatsoever. That was very frustrating, and I felt it was bit paternalistic. Third, I did not witness the doctor wash his hands once, not even with hand sanitizer. Fourth, no one offered me temporary sunglasses. And it was very sunny outside. I had a difficult time getting to my car. Luckily had had sunglasses in my car and could drive home.

UofU Patient

Doctor was the nicest and most friendly eye doctor i have met. He was extremely knowledgeable it was a good appt.

UofU Patient
September 08, 2015
Dr. McKay was great as usual. He gave time for my eyes to adjust to different settings, which is extremely helpful and I appreciate it.

UofU Patient
August 29, 2015
Dr McKay is always very good about explaining if my eyes prescription has changed and giving me a good exam. That is why I go to him. I like that he does the exam himself instead of a technician. I always tell my friends to go to him because of this. Dr McKay recognized that my husband had had a previous fungal infection in his lung, as a young teen, by seeing staining of his iris. No doctor had noticed this before.

UofU Patient
August 07, 2015
Did not have any medications to discuss, so I didn't answer.Dr. McKay was very helpful in referring me to a specialist and personally walked me down the hall to schedule the visit.

UofU Patient
August 05, 2015
he seemed very preoccupied and focused.

UofU Patient
July 23, 2015
This was one of the worst visits I've ever experienced at Moran.

UofU Patient
June 16, 2015
Dr. MacKay is wonderful! And his diagnosis is spot on! I highly recommend him!

UofU Patient
June 10, 2015
like i have said before the doctor was great but the wait and the other staff would keep me from recommending anyone to the Moran.

UofU Patient
May 24, 2015
Dr McKay took the time I needed to discuss my worries and treatment.

UofU Patient
May 21, 2015
Dr. McKay is a great doctor. I really appreciate his professional care. I only wish he had more appointments available sooner because I had to wait to get an appointment which I had to book out a few months out. He is worth the wait though! I really like him as a doctor.

UofU Patient
May 13, 2015
Dr. McKay was great! He even remembered stories that I shared with him over a year previously. He is kind and compassionate, efficient without making you feel rushed.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2015
the Dr I saw did not explain anything to me. The whole appointment lasted a whole 15 minutes. I was given a new prescription for my eyes but the Dr did not explain to me why. He also did not address that my vision is blurry when driving at night. I do not think I will see this Dr again.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2015
Loved Dr. McKay! Wonderful to talk to, enjoyable visit

UofU Patient
April 16, 2015
Dr. McKay is my favorite optometrist. He is both knowledgable in his field as well as friendly. He addressed all of my concerns and seemed genuinely invested in me as a patient.

UofU Patient
April 16, 2015
Dr. McKay is wonderful. I've recommended both my mom and a friend to him. My mom really likes the time he spends with her. my friend is looking forward to her visit in a couple weeks.

UofU Patient
April 10, 2015
Dr. McKay did an excellent job! I enjoyed talking with him through the exam and felt like he cared about me as a person instead of just getting me through my exam as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend him.

UofU Patient
April 07, 2015
I had a very wonderful time during my appointment and felt comfortable during the whole thing. I was a bit nervous beforehand since it was my first time there, but the overall experience was a positive one and I look forward to future appointments.

UofU Patient
April 01, 2015
Dr. McKay is very personable and makes sure that I understand my eye health.

UofU Patient
March 31, 2015
Dr McKay was very friendly, informative and helpful. I have usually just had them schedule me with the next available appt, regardless of doctor, but I will request Dr. McKay in the future.

UofU Patient
March 24, 2015
I think a mistake was made in prescribing my right contact, so this appointment was a little bit of a hassle. My vision should NOT have changed that dramatically in a few weeks, But I am getting the right contact replaced for free (which is only to be expected) and so I guess all is well.

UofU Patient
March 21, 2015
It's a little unclear how to handle the experimental prescription. Do I need a follow up visit if I don't like the monovision test, or just handle it through contact lenses. I didn't think about this until later.

UofU Patient
February 28, 2015
Dr McKay is the best.

UofU Patient
February 22, 2015
I wish I had spent more time with the doctor rather than the intern/student.

UofU Patient
February 21, 2015
assisted me in scheduling a specialist visit before leaving his office. helped me find a next day appointment by looking at the community clinic schedules.

UofU Patient
February 19, 2015
Dr. McKay is great. Three of my children see him and experience is always positive. We feel we get good, high quality care.

UofU Patient
February 17, 2015
Dr. McKay was excellent. I highly recommend him, and the week after my wife saw him for that reason.

UofU Patient
February 15, 2015
I would not recommend based on the wait times.

UofU Patient
February 10, 2015
As stated in my previous comment, I feel like the doctor was very rushed. He did not have enough time to answer all of my questions and made me feel like my questions were stupid. I asked about an eye condition I though I had and he just said I didn't see that so you don't have it. He then said that he would check the symptoms online and he never did that during the visit. I feel like this doctor did not care about my concerns and did not even check the symptoms/information about the problem I was experiencing. I will not visit this doctor again and do not know if I will visit the Moran either.

UofU Patient
February 09, 2015
the doctor really didn't pay much attention to any questions I asked he just did what he was supposed to do wrote the prescription and we was finished

UofU Patient
February 09, 2015
The doctor actually chit-chatted a little much for my taste.

UofU Patient

I've been to Mark McKay before. He's a great Optometrist. I know him personally as a friend before I started.

UofU Patient
January 26, 2015
Dr. McKay is very professional, courteous and caring.

UofU Patient
January 24, 2015
Again they were excellent.

UofU Patient
January 20, 2015
Provider was very kind and I would recommend him anyone.

UofU Patient
January 15, 2015
There was one issue that occurred during my appointment that I've never experienced before and is definitely an outlier when viewing this from a statistical perspective. I wear soft contact lenses and a chemical was placed in my eye intended for a hard contact lens wearer. (We had been discussing the benefits of hard vs soft contacts). The chemical leached into the contacts turning them yellow. They were contacts that were being sent back in two weeks or so after a new prescription arrived, but I didn't realize what had happened until a comment was made and I took the contacts out for cleaning. I did not readily understand the conacts had turned yellow. Dr. McKay and the lense department staff were very helpful in the next steps. Luckily the previous pair of contacts that I had tested had not yet be sent back and I did not have to wear the "yellow tinged" contacts. Not a big deal but I thought it was important to mention.

UofU Patient
January 04, 2015
Dr. McKay was excellent, very professional and friendly at the same time!

They have always been good at answering any questions I have.

UofU Patient
December 10, 2014
The visit itself was very good. It was just disappointing that I had to come back after the first visit resulted in a prescription that was significantly wrong.

UofU Patient
December 10, 2014
No meds were needed. I've referred numerous friends to Dr. McKay. I like his caring way and detailed exam.

UofU Patient
December 08, 2014
I was greeted by the doctor, seen only by the doctor and excused by the doctor. He was helpful in all aspects of care and explanation.

UofU Patient
December 08, 2014
Mark was great. I would recommend for sure.

UofU Patient
November 24, 2014
Dr. McKay was very nice. Somewhat quiet and soft spoken, which put my daughter at ease.

I always enjoy seeing Dr. McKay, and I do recommend him to others. We shared some funny stories, but he is always professional and capable. I feel like my eye care is in capable hands.

Dr. McKay is excellent. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to listen and offer necessary explanation of treatment.

Dr Mackay is very professional. Excellent treatment that I had.

UofU Patient
October 27, 2014
Dr. McKay is the best! But the only way I could go to him was to pay out of my own pocket, as he is not under my insurance (Select Med). Sadly, this means I probably won't be going to him any more unless he (or Moran Eye Center) starts accepting my insurance!

UofU Patient
October 19, 2014
The intern and Dr. McKay were both fantastic. Very thoughtful, very patient with my anxiety about the exam.

UofU Patient
October 16, 2014
Dr. McKay seems very competent. This is what matters most to me.

UofU Patient
October 10, 2014
Like I said before, "They all deserve a raise in pay for being outstanding and very professional at what they do."

UofU Patient
October 03, 2014
The exam felt very rushed and I am worried that the correct prescription was taken.

UofU Patient
October 01, 2014
Dr. McKay by far my most favorite doctor. He spends time with you discussing the condition your eye is in and explains what needs to take place to care for your eye and sight.

UofU Patient
September 25, 2014
Dr Mckay is usually very friendly.

UofU Patient
September 19, 2014
90% of my visit was with just Sarah, but Dr Mckay was friendly and confirmed Sarah's findings quickly and efficiently.

UofU Patient
September 17, 2014
good

UofU Patient
September 15, 2014
This was excellent care.

UofU Patient
September 10, 2014
most of exam by technician new there much talking between the doctor and her but little to me about problems and then they hurried out before I could ask questions I had.

UofU Patient
September 05, 2014
Dr. McKay is great. He takes care of me, my husband, and now my daughter. He is very thorough and kind.

UofU Patient
August 30, 2014
The doctor was great, but I was frustrated by the time issues, and I wasn't sure what would happen next in terms of getting lenses or glasses. I still don't know if I am waiting for the clinic to call me or the clinic is waiting for me to call them.

UofU Patient
August 29, 2014
He didn't address my concerns at all. Pretty sure part of my prescription is wrong.

UofU Patient
August 28, 2014
Dr. McKay didn't introduce himself, nor did he explain what he was doing. Even though I have been to the ophthalmologist many times, it's nice to have verbal communication regarding which step we are on (for example Dr. McKay did not say "now we are going to dilate your eyes", rather he just told me to open my eyes so he could add the eye drops). Also, he didn't give communication one way or another whether these tests looked good or bad.

UofU Patient
August 27, 2014
Dr. McKay is Awesome and i have already referred him to 3 different people!!!

UofU Patient
August 26, 2014
Dr. McKay is always wonderful. He seems to always rememebr who I am when I come in every year - no complaints!

UofU Patient
August 25, 2014
I will tell people to plan on a long wait....

UofU Patient

i recently went through a detached vitreous in my left eye. Dr. McKay was very clear about the time scheduling of seeing an eye specialist if I was suddenly confronted with further problems so as to prevent permanent eye damage.

UofU Patient

Very nice and very helpful.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

I understand this is a teaching institution but it is hard when you are examined by the medical student and then again by the doctor. I wish they could do it together to alleviate the need to do things twice.

UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
I have seen Dr. McKay on multiple occasions for many years. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable, caring and experienced optometrist. I have recommended him highly to several of my friends.

UofU Patient

Routine eye exam

UofU Patient
June 28, 2014
The eye doctor and his assistant were both great! Very friendly.

UofU Patient
June 28, 2014
only comment I would have is to provide a bit more info on the impact of eye dilation on the sensitivity of eyes to sun, even with sunglasses which I had brought

UofU Patient
June 28, 2014
I would highly recommend the care provider but would hesitate only because of the waiting time.

UofU Patient
June 27, 2014
I was seen by a student. She was completely professional and I really liked her (I answered above for Dr. McKay). However, I expect a doctor to double check all of a student's work, as I do with my learners. Dr. McKay did not check behind her, on my vision except to look in my eye to see my actual prescription. He has no idea if I would really tolerate that level of correction or not. I did not feel that he listened to my concerns.

UofU Patient
June 26, 2014
It just took too long

UofU Patient
June 16, 2014
An intern did most of my appointment. She was very good at answering questions and being thorough. The doctor then changed the prescription that the intern had input in to my file without asking me about it. Then, when I noticed he was doing it and let him know we had changed my prescription on purpose, he did not change it back correctly. I had to correct him again and get him to fix it. There was not very good communication or attention to detail.

UofU Patient
June 16, 2014
On this 3rd visit (previous was only 10 days prior) there was no conclusion on why my vision is changing so rapidly. The solution was to see if new prescription will take care of it. No other options were discussed.

UofU Patient
June 13, 2014
I was never told I had an astigmatism until this assistant told me on my third visit.

UofU Patient
June 12, 2014
i rec Dr. Mckay to everyone

UofU Patient
June 09, 2014
I have been seeing Dr. McKay for years. I only need to see him once every two years or when the need arises. He did not have my chart and he could not remember me. Pretty sad.

UofU Patient

Dr. McKay is excellent! I cannot say enough good things about him. He is kind, caring, thorough, and knowledgeable. He takes great care of me and my eyes. I would recommend him to anyone!

UofU Patient
May 16, 2014
Dr. McKay is an amazing ophthalmologist because he doesn't go through routine he is present with me & ask questions & answers my questions. he explained what he was doing even though he has given tons of eye exams he still explains & he asks questions about you making the experience above & beyond. He is extremely nice & takes the time needed with you. I would definitively recommend him & have before.

UofU Patient

Dr McKay has been taking care of my eyes for several years, I would not be able to see with out his great expertise and care. Thanks Dr. McKay!

UofU Patient

I was not able to be with all of my children at the same time during their appts - however, I made it clear that I wanted all of them dilated - they failed to dilate one of my older children and I wasn't aware until after.

UofU Patient

Dr. McKay is great. The delay was my only negative comment.

This was the first time I had seen Dr. MacKay but he was very good and very easy to talk to. Made the appointment time go by fast.

UofU Patient
April 26, 2014
Actual doctor was with me for less than 10 minutes. Didn't double check prescription. I had to make a follow-up appointment

UofU Patient
April 23, 2014
I would have preferred to know that I was seeing someone in training before the appointment. It was very confusing that the Dr. was overseeing the appointment, but not performing the actual exam.

UofU Patient
April 19, 2014
Dr McKay was genuinely a nice guy to talk to during my appointment. I liked meeting him, and he explained my eye care very well.

UofU Patient
April 14, 2014
I've been going to Dr. McKay for over 15 years and have appreciated his knowledge and honesty of my eye care concerns. I have recommended him to co-workers and others.

Dr. McKay is great. Very thorough and he always does a good job of answering my questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

UofU Patient

As a retired hospital administrator I was extremely impressed with the professional treatment I received from Dr. McKay. His low key approach and resolution of my problem was assuring and comforting. He is an example for the medical profession.

Dr. McKay is the best eye doctor. Does a great job and is very friendly and caring towards his patients. I will never go to another eye doctor.

my eye checkup was timely and the result was good and accurate.

UofU Patient

If I had not have had a good experience with the doctor, I would not have returned due to the encounter with the person sitting in the front area.

UofU Patient
February 26, 2014
Dr. McKay was very personable and friendly

UofU Patient
February 24, 2014
awesome doctor

UofU Patient
February 23, 2014
I am confident that Dr. McKay is competent and well educated-a Physicians skills and outcomes are more important to me than "My experience" A physicians pay/reimbursement should not ne heavily weighted on these surveys-outcomes and a current standard of care are more important than patient perception.

UofU Patient
February 22, 2014
Both the assistant and the doctor were very concerned about the headaches I had been having. They asked very detailed questions and were very thorough in my examination. They suggested changing my brand of contacts and gave me a new pair to try. So far it has helped significantly.

UofU Patient
February 21, 2014
Dr. McKay is a WONDERFUL doctor!! He is helpful, kind, and overall an extreme professional. I am so glad that I was able to begin receiving care from him originally at the Redwood Clinic. Really wonderful person and doctor.

I will continue to see Dr. McKay, he's wonderful and I recommend him to anyone looking for a new provider.

UofU Patient
January 04, 2014
I was extremely impressed at how well Dr. McKay used Epic. Entering information into the computer versus on paper was as fast as when he use to use paper. I think even faster. I was also impressed by the way he entered information into the computer, but while doing so was angled in such a way that I did not feel excluded from the process. The computer did not get in the way of our doctor - patient relationship!

UofU Patient
December 27, 2013
Had to come back for a retest due to wrong prescription.

UofU Patient
December 13, 2013
I will never ask for doctor Mckay again, and I have heard complains about him from other persons

UofU Patient
December 09, 2013
This was a routine eye exam however the Doctor said nothing to me about my vision. We talked about where I was from and small talk. The Doctor said nothing to me about what the eye exam revealed. I sat longer than 20 minutes when he "dilated" my eyes finally a PA came in and finished the exam. I suppose the Doctor would have said something to me if something were wrong? He was very personable BUT he didn't go over anything with me about my eye sight. I got the impression he was very busy. I was given a printed prescription to take to the eye glass shop and that was it.

UofU Patient
November 28, 2013
I would not go to him if I did not have confidence in his professional abilities.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
November 05, 2013
This was one of the best eye appointments I've had. Friendly, competent, and thorough.

UofU Patient
November 01, 2013
I have recommended Dr. Mark McKay to friends, who have also gone to see him. He is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and kind.

UofU Patient
October 28, 2013
Truly outstanding care, but certainly the highlight is that my doctor was not at all in a rush, or if he was, he didn't let me know it. He took a lot of time with me, to answer every question and make sure I understood his answer. I loved that the eye test wasn't rushed so we could be sure I knew what I was indicating.

UofU Patient
October 21, 2013
Terrible bedside manner. As an employee of the University Hospital myself, I am embarrassed of the care and treatment that I received from the Redwood Moran clinic and Dr. McKay himself. I will be going out of network for any future eye care.

UofU Patient
October 11, 2013
Dr. McKay has always expressed his concerns & explained the reasons for having them, so we can work together to find a resolution we both agree on

UofU Patient

Dr McKay was great. I didn't bring a copy of my lenses but he suggested I use Oasis and I love them. Very comfortable - thank you.

UofU Patient
August 27, 2013
Excellent experience. Thank you! My only suggestion would be to give more of an explanation about what was being done and what all the diopter measurements mean

UofU Patient
August 27, 2013
I really trust Dr. McKay! He doesn't try to convince me to do unnecessary treatments and he is thorough in his examinations! I have been his patient for many years now and wouldn't see anyone else for my eyes - previous providers tried to convince me to get lasik and I felt were more interested in revenues than in me. I don't feel that way about Dr. McKay - he cares about me as a person in addition to as a patient.

UofU Patient
August 19, 2013
Appreciated the doctor seeing me for a re-check on my glasses Rx. An adjustment was made. I was in and out in about 15 minutes!

I did not see Dr. McKay for very long. Most service was provided by technician, who consulted with the doctor during her examination of my eyes. But I have seen Dr. McKay several times and have high confidence in him.

UofU Patient
August 06, 2013
Dr. McKay is very pleasant to talk to.

UofU Patient
August 05, 2013
I kind of wish he would have 'double checked' that my glasses Rx was correct based on what the technician did. I feel like the 'technician' did most of the work, whereas my doctor has typically done most of the appointment in the past.

UofU Patient
August 05, 2013
I was cared for by both a doctor and a resident. Both were terrific!

UofU Patient
August 02, 2013
I would highly recommend this doctor if the wait time wasn't so long.

UofU Patient
August 02, 2013
Dr. McKay is always very warm, friendly and personable. He is very professional and I always feel confident that I am receiving a thorough exam. I have recommended him to new staff and faculty.

This trip corrected my vision problems, and I cannot express how appreciative I am of getting it right. I absolutely could not understand why we could not get it right, but it is finally what I need. Thanks, thanks for the help. I trust Moran and Dr. McKay and would not change doctors - this is why I was so persistent in returning to get it right.

I was very happy with Dr. Mckay. I will certainly use him in the future and refer friends and family to him. Very polite, professional, knowledgeable and kind. I had a wonderful experience with my eye appointment today.

UofU Patient
July 08, 2013
Felt like the initial interaction was fine and that the appointment was running smoothly but once he dilated my eyes it took forever for him to come back to finish the appointment. Overall the wait time was extremely long and I felt the appointment went way over the allotted time.

UofU Patient
July 01, 2013
No meds, no "condition" I was concerned about. Just needed another yearly checkup before my insurance changed. I have recommended Dr. McKay to several colleagues.

UofU Patient
July 01, 2013
Excellent!

UofU Patient
June 27, 2013
Top notch, especially coaxing my scared child to have her eyes checked too.

UofU Patient
June 24, 2013
Dr. McKay is always very informative and enjoyable to see.

UofU Patient
June 24, 2013
Again, I think I went on a busy day at a busy time of day, so the doctor seemed to be balancing multiple patients. I spent a lot of time waiting, which was fine because I still received excellent care.

UofU Patient
June 19, 2013
Dr McKay rocks. I was seeing Dr Olafson and his students always seemed to be the priority during the visit and he listened to them more than me. When making this appointment I asked for a new provider - the difference in the direct interaction with me is what I needed to continue to use the Moran Eye Center. I think many providers (especially ones outside of the Moran) could take a lesson from him and how he treats patients - simple things go a long way.

UofU Patient
June 19, 2013
"Dr McKay is awesome and he is kind of funny, too," is the quote from my 14 year old daughter - which I think captures more than I could write about him. He was good when my daughter was nervous about having her eyes dilated and didn't make her feel silly (or discount her fear) for being so nervous. He had relevant things to talk to her about and I liked that he made her feel like the patient and didn't direct all of his conversations to me.

UofU Patient
June 18, 2013
Excellent experience.

UofU Patient
June 17, 2013
medications were N/A Dr. McKay was great. Took his time with me. Listened. Answered all my questions.

UofU Patient
June 07, 2013
Doctor and I both forgot to get my PD measurement. Aside from that one small thing, it was a great visit.

UofU Patient
June 06, 2013
The doctor prescribed eye drops but did not explain why I have the irritation nor what may have caused it and if there was some other care that I needed to do in order to alleviate the irritation.

UofU Patient
June 04, 2013
Very thorough, much personal attention, not rushed!

UofU Patient
May 20, 2013
Dr. McKay always makes you feel like you are the most important patient. He shows you to the room and starts the exam right away. No rooming you then waiting forever for the doctor to arrive. He is very friendly, and talks to you like an equal.

UofU Patient
May 17, 2013
Wish I had been talked through what he was doing more, to understand what was going on the purpose behind it. Have already referred a friend.

UofU Patient
May 13, 2013
Excellent care, very helpful, friendly and happy to discuss and explain all the procedures

UofU Patient
May 03, 2013
Last month I had gone to Dr. McKay because I could not read out of my right eye which is monovision for up close.....It wasn't any better so he tweaked it again. I think his resident did the one last month and I just don't think the prescription was correct. I'm hoping this helps. I also hope that there isn't something wrong with my eye..hopefully the new prescription will work...I've had monovision for years, but maybe at 75 not a good idea, I just don't know.

UofU Patient

I so wish I could buy or use the drops that reverse the pupil dilation as the dilated pupils lasted until I went to bed that night; the dilated pupils trigger my migraines.

UofU Patient
April 19, 2013
Dr. McKay was OUTSTANDING!! I like him a lot and would gladly recommend him to my wife and/or other prospective patients. He is very qualified. Has a great "bedside manner" (or whatever that equivalent is for ophthalmologists....). Very friendly. Interested in ME.

UofU Patient
April 12, 2013
Dr. McKay has been a great doctor for the past 13 years.

UofU Patient
April 10, 2013
My eye exam was fairly straight forward. I had no specific concerns about my vision and any questions I had were satisfactorily answered.

UofU Patient
April 08, 2013
I love the ease at which DrMckay has always put me at ease and I love his social banter.

UofU Patient
March 25, 2013
Dr McKay does an excellent job of explaining procedures and the next steps of treatment.

UofU Patient
March 18, 2013
Dr. McKay is always concerned, asks questions and gives professional answers and advice.

UofU Patient
March 12, 2013
The doctor & intern were very helpful & informative.

UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
My issue want the care provider, rather the overall wait time I had for the initial appt and the waiting after my eyes were dilated. I waited aprrox 1 1/2 hours in the total appt.

UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
I felt very confident in the level of care I received. I felt the provider listened to me and addressed my concerns and was genuinely focused and concerned about me. Very, very quality care!

UofU Patient
March 01, 2013
Dr. McKay was extremely delightful!

UofU Patient
March 01, 2013
The Intern spent more time with me and my husband than the actual doctor. There can be a better balance here.

UofU Patient
February 26, 2013
felt like contacts were being pushed on me when I can't seem to use them

UofU Patient
February 18, 2013
I like to know and learn what is going on during an appointment. The doctor was very nice but not forthcoming about what he was doing or why. I got the impression that had I not talked he might have nearly made simple conversation, done his job, and left.

UofU Patient
February 11, 2013
Dr. McCay is professional, and took the time to listen to my questions, and discuss options with me. Excellent chairside care. Thank You.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2013
Doctor was very personable and kept the process plesant

UofU Patient
January 22, 2013
I mentioned I was using eye drops for dryness but I didn't really like what I was using. Dr McKay didn't give me any other choices or talk about something else that might work better.

UofU Patient
January 14, 2013
It was hard for me to find out, what my eye condition was after the examination. I had to specifically ask.

UofU Patient
January 09, 2013
Even though I understand medical jargon, Dr. McKay didn't use any, yet didn't condescend me as someone who doesn't have an M.D. He was chatty and informal which made me less stressed about his potential findings. He was also polite and at ease, he seemed like he liked his work, which is really important.

UofU Patient
January 08, 2013
I was happy with the care provider until this happened. I will probably go again but any more problems and I rprobably will not go back.

UofU Patient
January 07, 2013
Dr. McKay was very professional while being very friendly, kind and thorough. He demonstrated the utmost of care, kindness, and interest in me as a patient.

UofU Patient
January 02, 2013
very good physician

UofU Patient
December 18, 2012
Regarding #7. Had either the intern or Dr. Mackay spoken to me in simplistic terms, I would find that very offensive. I think both spoke to me as one professional to another, although we are not in the same profession.

UofU Patient
December 12, 2012
I was not told what my vision was, this would have been good to know, although I forgot to ask.

UofU Patient
December 12, 2012
I suspect the amount of time I wait for Dr. McKay is related to the quality of service he provides for his patients. He always makes you feel you are important and answers all questions thoroughly.

UofU Patient
December 10, 2012
Despite the unprofessional reception staff, Dr. McKay was highly professional.

UofU Patient
December 07, 2012
If I'm aware of friends/family/Co-worker looking for an eye Dr. I always recommend my dr. dr McKay.

UofU Patient

Dr. McKay is a superlative doctor. I enjoy my visits with him as I always learn something new about my eyes and about current medical research on my issues. I have had many eye doctors at prestigious institutions but Dr. McKay is the best.

UofU Patient
October 22, 2012
Very good.

UofU Patient
October 12, 2012
The intern was great. Dr. McKay was also good but gave me only 5 minutes after I'd been there for 90 minutes.

UofU Patient
October 10, 2012
Dr. McKay was not only friendly and nice, but took the time to ensure that all my questions and needs were answered. I did not once feel that he was rushed or needed to be somewhere else. These high qualities can often be rare in visiting any health clinic.

UofU Patient
October 09, 2012
I don't feel that I got good feedback about what exactly was wrong with my daughters eyes and I am not sure why I am seeing a specialist (I am assuming we are unable to determine her vision prescription- but it was not explained throughly to me). I would have liked a better discussion with the doctor about what each term means, ie- stigmatism, level of vision, a step by step explaination of what he was doing with her eyes as he was doing it. All vision needs are new and foreign to me, I don't feel I was educated during my visit.

UofU Patient
October 05, 2012
I really like the doctor and his 4th year intern.

UofU Patient
October 03, 2012
I always have a good experience with Dr. McKay.

UofU Patient

Standard eye exam for new glasses. Dr. McKay very personable.

UofU Patient
September 24, 2012
Dr. Mckay is excellent. He explains things in detail and gives me options, which I appreciate

UofU Patient
September 19, 2012
Dr. Mckay double checked all of his residents work and spent a detailed amount of time cheking my eyes for any health problems. He showed concern for my questions and was easy to talk with

UofU Patient
September 14, 2012
I found Dr. McKay very personable and easy to talk to, which made communicating about my eyesight easier since I automatically felt I could trust him.

UofU Patient
September 04, 2012
The dr was very personal. That does not excuse the long wait.

UofU Patient
September 04, 2012
When Dr. McKay finally came to talk with me, he was very professional and understanding.

UofU Patient

I will not see Dr. McKay again and I will not recommend anyone to the Moran. I have been treated better at chains like LensCrafters.

I love Dr. McKay. I have been his patient for several years now and have not ever had a bad experience.

UofU Patient
August 06, 2012
The doctor was wonderful. He took lots of time with me and made me feel important. I would recommend him to anyone!

UofU Patient
August 03, 2012
This provider was very friendly and kind. I enjoyed the conversations we had. I didn't quit feel like my concern was fully addressed and the provider didn't give me an explenation at the end of my visit about what he planned to do about my last prescription being too strong and if he was going to reduce it. Like I said the provider was personable enough and made me feel very comfortable. It would be nice to recieve more thorough explenations. Other than that and the wait my experience was very enjoyable.

UofU Patient
July 30, 2012
Provider took feedback well. When I asked him to adjust how he was doing things he did.

UofU Patient
July 29, 2012
The doctor i was seen by did a fantastic job. his wealth of knowledge not only with eyes but the holistic approach with how they can potentially affect my issue with migraines. thank you for your time and understand!

UofU Patient

Dr. Mackey was not only very nice, but knowlegeable and caring.

UofU Patient
July 18, 2012
The clinic worked me in and I appreciated that very much

UofU Patient
July 09, 2012
I would recommend this care provider, but he does always make me wait to be seen and then he is quite chatty when he finally comes in thus delaying me further.

UofU Patient
July 06, 2012
I have recommended Dr. McKay to people and will continue to do so.

UofU Patient
July 06, 2012
exceptional professional care and courtesy from both the physician and from the extern (Abby? Abbie?) who was doing an externship

UofU Patient
July 03, 2012
Once with the doctor, he was in and out of the room for 40 minutes.

UofU Patient
June 26, 2012
I was recommended by several co-workers to Moran and now I can recommend to others.

UofU Patient
May 18, 2012
he left for 40 minutes after dilating my eyes

UofU Patient
May 16, 2012
Once inside, everything was good.

UofU Patient
May 11, 2012
Dr. McKay was very friendly and professional. The exam itself was easy and relatively quick.

UofU Patient
May 11, 2012
Very minimalist bedside manner. He should be saying what he is doing at every step - I had to stop him before he put those yellow drops in and ask him what he was doing. He acted like a technician, going through the motions.

UofU Patient
May 11, 2012
Always very professional.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
April 26, 2012
MD was very patient and friendly, worked around the fact that I was with my 18 month old but let me get the exam done regardless even if it took a little more time on his part due to a few interruptions

UofU Patient
April 24, 2012
The attention shown to me was great.

UofU Patient
April 20, 2012
- Very little feedback given on the results of my exam - I had to ask if everything was ok - The resident was very friendly but he just disappeared - Didn't say the doctor would be in or how long I would have to wait

UofU Patient
April 17, 2012
provider talked a lot about my job asking me question or telling me a story total eye exam took two hours I felt could have been finished in an hour if the doctor didnt talk about my job for an hour

UofU Patient
April 13, 2012
all good

UofU Patient
April 10, 2012
It was a good experience

UofU Patient
March 30, 2012
Seemed rushed this time. I've seen Dr. McKay before and he is usually more relaxed and spends more time explaining what he is doing and why.

UofU Patient
March 27, 2012
Dr. McKay is great!

UofU Patient
March 27, 2012
Dr, MacKay diagnosed my problem and gave me the medicines that worked within a short time-frame. I was truly miserable, and am now absolutely wonderful

UofU Patient
March 23, 2012
Again, the excellent care is what I want and need.

UofU Patient
March 16, 2012
Very thorough and professional.
