How do I know if I’m choosing the right eye care provider for me?

The right provider is someone experienced in your specific needs—whether it’s cataract surgery, LASIK, glaucoma, or routine eye exams—and who takes the time to explain your options clearly.

Why should I see eye care physicians instead of just getting an eye exam at a retail store?

Eye care physicians are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat serious eye diseases, perform surgery, and manage complex conditions—offering a higher level of care than basic vision testing.

Do I need to get a referral before I can see one of your doctors?

Usually, you can schedule directly with us. If your insurance plan requires a referral, our team can guide you through the process to make it easy.

If I have more than one eye issue, can I see different specialists in your practice?

Absolutely. Many patients benefit from seeing multiple specialists under one roof—whether for cataracts, LASIK, or retina care—so their treatment is seamless and coordinated.

How much does eye surgery typically cost?

The cost depends on the type of procedure, your insurance coverage, and any additional testing required. Our staff will review all costs with you upfront, so there are no surprises.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit usually includes a thorough eye exam, a discussion of your medical history, and time with your doctor to go over treatment options or next steps.
