Had my first Cataract Surgery end of March. I was a little nervous but that went away after the first 5 minutes of being there. Sharon and Trish made me feel at easy and talked me through the whole procedure. The whole Staff was kind and friendly. Will be back for my second surgery soon.

My fiance was supposed to have cataract surgery Friday. He's been waiting to get this cataract surgery since January. He was sent home first time from this center. The second time his surgery was canceled for Friday. Doesn't matter because he wasn't cleared for the surgery by physician assistant because his A1c was an 8. His primary doctor did not require blood work the first time. He went to office upset and they did not give him an explanation unprofessional. I'm a nurse I called the center to ask what were the risk of cataract with an A1c of 8? Which has nothing to do with cataract I was not on the list to receive info which was fine it's Hippa violation. He let's me handle everything so It doesn't matter. The nurse I talked to had an attitude so I returned the favor. He has to walk around with cataract for months again. Everytime he looks forward to surgery here its always something the fact that it was canceled. He will be switching his doctor and will be receiving surgery soon again!

Spending time outside can lower stress and boost your mood, but outdoor fun can increase your risk for UV exposure, eye infection or ocular injuries.
Hands down, the best experience I’ve ever had while in a surgical setting. From Reception to the Nurse Donna who got me prepped and ready, to the anesthesiologist, to the post op Nurses who wheeled me out to the car. I was absolutely terrified! And the tears started rolling as soon as the IV went in because I knew it was only a matter of time. But the women in this facility went above and beyond to keep me calm and as comfortable as possible. I’ll never forget my experience here. Thank you Ladies!
