The whole procedure was awesome. I had my left eye done, then a week later the right. Best surgeries I’ve ever had. I can now see beautifully thanks to Dr. Scott (also a big Avs fan). I can not recommend him highly enough. The entire procedure(s) was seamless!!

My husband had cataracts in both eyes. We saw a doctor in NM who told my husband how difficult one eye was going to be and that it might take 2 surgeries to fix just the one eye. It was also going to take 4 months to even get a surgery date. They only talked about the one eye and said he would need another referral back to them for the second eye!
I found Dr. Smetana in Colorado. His office was so happy to make an appointment for my husband. We were able to get him in in just a few weeks. When he saw him, he looked at both eyes. Told us that the one eye was a doozy & he couldn’t wait to fix it for him! Both of my husband’s surgeries were scheduled for him as we left the office! The first was only 10 days out and the second a week after.
Dr. Smetana was not only knowledgeable, but funny & kind & put us both at ease. We knew he was going to do a wonderful job.
Every staff member at Eye Associates of Colorado Springs was friendly & knowledgeable & really seemed to love their job. There wasn’t a doubt in our minds that we made the right choice & that he was going to be in excellent hands.
Both surgeries have now been completed. He sees better than he has in almost a decade!! We are so impressed & so happy with the entire experience.
Thank you SO much Dr. Smetana. You made such a difference in my husband’s life. (Mine, too.)
I highly recommend Dr. Smetana & his staff to anyone looking for an excellent doctor to take care of their eyes.

For 29 years it has been our privilege to get eye care (and sadly see our first two excellent doctors retire) at Pinnacle since 1993- Dr Shunk/Dr Barad/ Now Dr. Smetana is our 3rd excellent Ophthalmologist at Pinnacle. While each of these fine men took great care of us (and our eyes) over the years, Dr Smetana has performed perfect cataract surgery on both my wife and I. He gently placed my right replacement lens without even taking a stitch!! Later he expertly laser planed one of my eyes that had become clouded. Additionally, Dr Smetana and his staff teat my wife and I like royalty. During a recent exam I observed Dr. Smetana work very respectfully with a trainee with kindness and patience that can only come from the heart. He is a good and kind man. He always takes time during each exam to stop and ask a few caring personal questions. You always leave his office with a smile and a lightened heart. Dr. Smetana and his entire organization gets my highest recommendations without reserve for the reasons above and far too many kind stories to record here.

Dr. Smetana and his assistants took the time and made the effort to be more informative than any doctor in my past . He made certain that I understood where my vision is currently, where we want it to be and the path we will take to get it there.

This was my second visit with Dr. Smetana and I continue to believe I've found another "winner!" After he examined me, he took the time to sit and talk to me about some common interests we have. Primarily sports ( University of Kansas) and music. The musical portion touched upon the composer Bedrich Smetana who is a distant relative of the doctor. Having played some of the composer's music, I have great appreciation of two of his compositions, "The Moldau," and "The Bartered Bride."

I called and described my eye situation. They called me back a few minutes later and got me in to see a doctor the same day because of what I described to the scheduler. Turns out I had a torn retina. They then got me an appointment downstairs at the Retina Consultants to get it repaired the same day!! I highly recommend Eye Associates and Retina Consultants. Amazing customer service and customer care.

Everyone was friendly. Nurse and doctor were both gentle as they took me through the tests. They continually gave information as they went through. I am so glad I was referred to this office, this doctor.

He is a super doctor. I love my eyes! I see him every 6 months and leave feeling like I've had the best of care.

I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Smetana, and his team. I have had cataract surgery as well as follow up visits. He is professional, approachable, supportive. and I feel he is an advocate for me

Dr. Smetana and his office managed to squeeze in our son last minute after a traumatic injury he sustained during a sports medicine class at school. Thankful for his quick assessment, they were able to see him and treat his eye for (hopefully) a full recovery. We will use their office for future visits from now on :-). Many thanks!

Wonderful people. I always have a great experience there. What I particularly like is that make me feel comfortable. They really are a thoughtful group from the front room receptionists to the nurses, aids and my Doc.

The staff was very friendly, and well organized, and the surgery was very prompt and confortable. I'm Amazed how well I can see just hours later. They also gave me a coffee cup with fresh flowers...how thoughtful.

I have eye problems since I was a small child. Dr. Smetana was able to improve my vision 10000% and made me comfortable through the whole procedure. I highly recommend him.

I would recommend Dr. Smetana. My son was diagnosed and successfully treated for amblyopia. We were compliant with treatment plan.

The whole procedure was awesome. I had my left eye done, then a week later the right. Best surgeries I’ve ever had. I can now see beautifully thanks to Dr. Scott (also a big Avs fan). I can not recommend him highly enough. The entire procedure(s) was seamless!!
