All optical patients will be by appointment only.

As you can imagine, rescheduling clinic appointments is a bit daunting, so we appreciate your patience. Some of you have been contacted already to reschedule your visit. We are working diligently to contact all patients. If your appointment has not yet been rescheduled and your need is urgent, please contact our office at 303.444.3000 or [email protected].

Please be patient with us as we navigate through getting you rescheduled. You will be receiving a phone call within a few weeks from one of our surgical schedulers to get you scheduled back in for your procedure at our new, state-of-the-art, surgery center that is dedicated only to eye surgery.

All Surgical Patients

All staff will be wearing masks and goggles, and washing/sanitizing hands after each patient interaction.
We will be transitioning over to a virtual check-in very soon, but until that time all pens, clipboards, etc. will be wiped down after each patient.
All exam rooms will be thoroughly cleaned after each patient.
All lobby surfaces, doorknobs, etc. will be cleaned multiple times throughout the day.

What patients say about

Boulder Eye Surgeons

97% of our patients would refer friends and family to us.

My first eye exam at Boulder Eye Surgeons was very thorough and informative. The technician that gave the eye exam was very friendly and explained exactly what was going on behind these blue peepers regarding my far sightedness! Dr. Keller is my favorite eye doctor and I would recommend him for any serious eye difficulty.

Short wait to be seen. Everyone makes you feel comfortable. Working with Chris was great. Dr. Cuevas explains things in easy to understand terms and is never condescending. He makes you feel secure in his knowledge. Dr. Cuevas is my go-to guy for eye problems.

Boulder Eye Surgeons have made it easy to visit safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. My appointment was on-time and efficiently executed. This is an outstanding ophthalmology office.

I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone other than Boulder Eye Surgeons. THE BEST!!!

Always professional - always 'top notch'. Dr. Keller and the staff are always respectful and kind. I feel that Dr. Keller is an excellent eye surgeon that I can trust.

Pre and post cataract surgery followup with BES staff was excellent. All staff members were very knowledgeable and efficient as I called several times with questions. Surgery with Dr. Cuevas was excellent and I am very happy so far with results. Dr. Cuevas was clear and transparent with answers to my post-surgery questions and spent substantial time with me pre-surgery to make sure we came up with the best solution to meet my athletic vision requirements. I highly recommend Boulder Eye Surgeons.

The professionalism of the entire staff is impressive. Dr. Nichols spent adequate time with me explaining everything thoroughly. My daughter came with me and he took the time to address her concerns and answer her questions. The Optical department is just as 5 star as the rest of the practice. I am so grateful to these people for how they are addressing my problems with my eyes which involve a complex medical condition.
