Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our medical evaluations include diagnostic testing for vision correction needs and early detection of eye diseases. We use advanced equipment to assess eye health, measure visual acuity, and identify risk factors for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The process involves pupil dilation, intraocular pressure measurement, and retinal imaging.
Cataract Surgery
We perform modern cataract removal procedures using premium intraocular lenses. Our board-certified ophthalmologists utilize advanced techniques for lens extraction and replacement, with options for multifocal IOLs to reduce dependency on glasses. The surgical process includes pre-operative evaluation, procedure planning, and comprehensive post-operative care.
LASIK Eye Surgery
Our laser vision correction service addresses refractive errors through corneal reshaping. The procedure treats myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using FDA-approved technology. We conduct detailed corneal mapping and visual acuity tests to determine candidacy, followed by personalized surgical planning and recovery monitoring.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our specialists diagnose and manage chronic dry eye conditions through targeted therapies. We identify underlying causes like meibomian gland dysfunction and develop treatment plans incorporating artificial tears, prescription medications, and lifestyle modifications to improve ocular surface health.
Emergency Eye Care
Available for acute ocular issues requiring immediate attention, including foreign body removal, chemical exposure, and sudden vision changes. Our team provides prompt evaluation and treatment for trauma-related injuries and rapidly progressing eye conditions during and after regular business hours.

Report
Absolutely poor patient care! I scheduled 2 months out for a new consultation only to get a call a week before my exam to be told I have to cancel my appointment. No attempt to re-schedule me to a reasonable date or on another provider. I would have to wait another month. I work in healthcare and this is not how to deel with this. I made sacrifices and changed my work schedule, moving my patients I see, to an earlier date, so I could attend this visit in the middle of the day. I understand things come up and schedule change but dont make me wait another month.

This place needs to evaluate their service. I had an appt at 2:15 (which had been rescheduled by them) and I was not seen by the doctor until almost 4. Very frustrating experience.

Report
I chose this eye care center because it was close to my house and has good reviews. I am so disappointed. I had an annual eye exam and a contact lens fitting. I had to come back for the contact lens fitting because my brand had to be ordered, and waited an hour and a half without seeing the doctor or being given an estimate of when I would. I had to reschedule and on the third visit, I had to wait over half an hour to see the doctor. Also, I have vision insurance and they still mistakenly sent me a bill for$275 and when I called about it they said it was a mistake. That's an expensive mistake!
