2023 will bring a few changes to Koetting Eye Center. We have a lot of exciting things in store- new technologies, new products and probably some new faces. As a cutting-edge eyecare practice, we are constantly on the lookout for better ways to serve our patients and we are very proud of this fact.

We now have a Digital Retinal Imaging system in both of our locations. This non-invasive test uses a laser to allow our doctors to see almost the entirety of the back of the eyes without dilation. The purpose of the test is early detection and diagnosis of various diseases and better monitoring of eye health. In short, it makes us even better doctors.

The biggest change we will be implementing this year is to our office hours. A great deal of consideration went into this decision and it is not one made lightly. We realize that some of you will be inconvenienced by the discontinuation of Saturdays, but we hope that you will be able to find the time for your yearly eye exam on a weekday going forward.

We truly want the best for all of our patients and our staff. We feel it’s important that our staff have time off each week to spend with their families and take a couple of days to regroup and recharge for the busy week ahead. We are adding many appointment slots to our schedules both in Brentwood and Ellisville to compensate for the lost half day each week, and we feel confident that there will be plenty of times available for you to find something that will fit your schedule. We also have some innovations on the horizon to help with getting your glasses and contacts to you once ordered.

All in all, we feel the schedule changes are the right move for the future of Koetting. We are grateful for your trust and for the opportunity to continue to serve all of your eyecare needs.
