My ophthalmologist of choice for many years. From periodic eye exams to cataract surgery, Dr. Conahan has exceeded expectations for my vision needs. The well run front desk and admin staff is also a great plus.

Best eye doctor a patient could ask for. Dr. Jim Conahan is the perfect combination of smart, kind, and efficient. His office staff is amazing. It can take a little time to get in to see him (20+ days), but that is just a testament to how amazing he is. There are other providers that can assist you much sooner for an eye exam or an emergency.

Have my eyes checked at United Eye Centers for many years and have always received excellent care. This includes laser treatments, new eye glasses and cataract removal. Every procedure has made my vision available to operate at its peak. Thank you Dr. Conahan!

As a retired physician, I've experienced the in's and out's of medical practice, what can go well, what can go wrong. And of course, my expectations are likely unrealistically high when I'm the patient. That said, I don't think there's a better ophthalmologist on the planet than Dr. James Conahan. His ability and attitude are unsurpassed, and he's a doctor who looks you in the eye. A treasure without a doubt.

Excellent an professional service. We were very pleased with the professional and friendly service provided by Dr Paige Stephens. She took the time to explain what she saw and the condition of the eyes in a manner that was understandable. The rest of the staff was friendly and eager to provide service. We highly recommend this Highlands Ranch, Colorado location.
