Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, screen for glaucoma, and evaluate retinal health through pupil dilation. The process includes reviewing medical history and performing refraction tests to determine prescription needs. Patients receive personalized recommendations for vision correction and ocular disease prevention during these 60-90 minute appointments.
Cataract Surgery
We specialize in advanced cataract removal using refractive surgery techniques that restore clear vision. Our fellowship-trained surgeons utilize premium intraocular lenses for improved visual outcomes. The procedure addresses clouded lenses while correcting pre-existing vision problems like astigmatism during the same surgical session.
Diabetic Eye Care
Our diabetic patients receive specialized retinal evaluations to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy. We employ digital imaging and OCT scans to monitor vascular changes in the eye. Treatment plans focus on preventing vision loss through regular monitoring and timely intervention for abnormal blood vessel growth.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage glaucoma through intraocular pressure testing and optic nerve imaging. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to prevent optic nerve damage. Patients receive ongoing monitoring to control fluid pressure and preserve peripheral vision.
Optical Shop
Our optical boutique offers designer eyeglass frames and prescription sunglasses from premium brands. Licensed opticians provide personalized fittings and lens recommendations based on individual vision needs. We ensure proper frame selection and lens customization for optimal comfort and visual clarity.

Received a referral to this business and tried to call for an appointment, recording said I was calling outside of business hours, but I was calling at around 0930 on a Thursday. Saw that others on Yelp made comments about the business' phone system and the answer from the Office Manager always seems to be they are switching systems. The reviews are over many years, so not sure what the problem is. Left a message and have not gotten a callback. Tried calling again later in the morning and got the same recording, but when I went to try and leave another message, the system would not

This place is a joke. I thought I would try this office out since my doctor was retiring. First the exam was less then 5 minutes. They gave me contacts to try, when I went back I told the worker I couldn't see and if I could try another pair. She tells me that's the only 2 pair they had for my eyes. I asked if I could order the ones I usually wear. Not remembering the name, I returned the next day with the box. She looked at me and says. "You have astigmatism you can't wear those". I said; "astigmatism, I don't have astigmatism, no one told me I had astigmatism". She says she needed to check with

An eye center that doesn't accept vision insurance. Just when you think you've heard it all. That literally makes no sense. And this was for a simple check up which now I have to pay out of pocket. Never again.

This is a TERRIBLE OFFICE. They expect us to be understanding of their excessively long wait times, but offer zero flexibility in return. The office staff was so horrible that they drove ne to another eye doctor. When I told them I was going to leave they said it was no big deal because I only rarely been there. Besudes, they ignored the protocols they promised and never asked me a single screening question.
