Physician, Associate Professor
Ophthalmology - Cornea & External Diseases, Ophthalmology
Department: Ophthalmology
My ophthalmology practice includes expertise in cornea and external diseases, cataract and refractive surgery, and other eye conditions.
I've always wanted a career where I could help people. What makes me happy in life is when I can help someone in need.
Providing a medical or surgical therapy can truly change a patient's quality of life. When people tell me how grateful they are for my care, it makes me feel good about what I do. I also enjoy educating medical students and resident physicians.
In addition to my ophthalmology work at Ohio State, I have participated in medical mission trips to Nicaragua and Ghana with Ohio State colleagues. We've done vision screenings, corneal transplants, cataract surgery and other treatments for children and adults. It’s always a rewarding experience. The people there are so appreciative. I love knowing I've helped change someone's life.
I enjoy working at Ohio State. Ohio State's Eye and Ear Institute is a beautiful facility and easy to access. We have modern equipment and spacious exam rooms. We have the resources and expertise to help people in many ways.

Good
Listened to my concerns and addressed issue immediately
Dr. Kuennen is the BEST. Always so knowledgeable and friendly!
She seems very knowledgeable and I got the impression that she is very good at her job and she was very confident in her recommendation for treatment. It seems very routine for her which was comforting in the fact that it should go as smoothly as possible. She was ready to move on very quickly and it was a lot of new information to take in quickly and try to think of any questions that needed to be asked as fast as possible to prepare for the procedure. She did answer each question in a satisfactory manner
She has been my care provider for many years and has my confidence
Excellent
She wanted me in and out. She rushed through surgery and told me the risks.
Very knowledgeable and responsive
Honestly my biggest complaint is that she was seemingly rushing the whole time and didn't seem to know exactly what the osu ed dr told me about my eye n made the issue sound different and more minor than he did.
I trust her expertise
Everyone was respectful, courteous and did a good job assessing my vision and eye health
Everything was fine.
I have nothing negative to say about this establishment.
