Located off the main hospital campus at 7400 State Line Road, Prairie Village, KS, we have the benefits of a stand-alone building with convenient parking and easy accessibility, plus all the resources of the University of Kansas Medical Center and the University of Kansas Hospital nearby. 

Full multispecialty staff is available at our main facility, which spans 17,000 square feet, which includes 24 exam lanes, imaging rooms equipped with state-of-the-art multimodal imaging, minor procedure room, and an optical shop. The hospital outpatient department is on the second floor with a laser suite and two operating rooms, where the majority of outpatient ophthalmologic surgeries are performed.
