Who Are the Doctors at Kansas City Eye Clinic?

Updated

Kansas City Eye Clinic (kceyeclinic.com) is a physician-owned practice in Overland Park serving the Kansas City area since the 1920s. Its staff includes nine specialty-trained ophthalmologists and optometrists, and the practice states it is owned solely by its doctors — with no ownership or investment from private equity, insurance companies, hospitals, or health systems. If you are deciding whether to book there, the doctor roster and ownership structure are the two things worth checking first.

What the practice says about its doctors

  • Nine specialty-trained ophthalmologists and optometrists make up the clinical staff, according to the clinic's own description.
  • Physician ownership: the site states the clinic has been owned solely by its doctors for over 100 years, and that no outside investors, insurers, hospitals, or health systems hold ownership.
  • Named refractive surgeons: Christopher Ketcherside, M.D. and Megan Haghnegahdar, M.D. are identified as the LASIK and refractive surgeons, trained in laser vision and refractive surgery techniques.
  • Full-service Optical Shop is part of the practice, alongside routine and specialized eye care.

The site does not publish a complete doctor-by-doctor directory in the material available, so the nine-person figure is the clinic's own count rather than a verified roster.

Doctors named in patient reviews

Patient comments on the site mention individual doctors by name, which can help you match a name to a reported experience:

Doctor mentioned What the review describes
Dr. Nichols "Excellent," part of a practice described as friendly, on schedule, and highly professional
Dr. Ohly Helped a patient with an eye condition; described as great, with easy-to-work-with staff

These are patient impressions, not credentials, and they cover only a few of the nine clinicians.

Services tied to specific doctors

  • LASIK and refractive surgery — led by Dr. Ketcherside and Dr. Haghnegahdar. The clinic offers a Complimentary Refractive Analysis and lists a Refractive Coordinator at 913.641.3100 for laser vision correction details.
  • Cataract surgery — two options: traditional and laser-assisted, with premium lens implant options, astigmatism reduction, and bladeless laser assistance.
  • General eye health and eye conditions — handled across the broader ophthalmology and optometry staff.

How to decide if this practice fits you

  • If physician ownership matters to you, this is a stated differentiator: the doctors, not an outside entity, own the practice.
  • If you need a specific subspecialist, confirm by name when you call — the site names only the two refractive surgeons, so other specialties should be verified directly.
  • If you want LASIK or refractive evaluation, the clinic advertises a complimentary analysis and a dedicated coordinator line (913.641.3100).
  • If you are a new patient, the site provides a "New Patients" path and appointment scheduling; reviews note that paperwork can arrive by text before the visit.

For anything beyond these points — insurance accepted, current pricing, or a full doctor list — contact the clinic directly, since the available site material does not cover those details.
