After my cataract surgery I could see the world the way I did at twenty. The whole team made something I was nervous about feel completely easy.

Good to know before you come in

A few of the questions we hear most from new patients.

Do I need a referral to be seen?

In most cases, no. You can schedule directly with us. Some plans may require a referral from your primary care physician, so it is worth checking with your insurer first.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept most major medical and vision plans. Coverage varies, so call either office and we will gladly verify your benefits before your visit.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Your insurance card, a photo ID, a list of current medications, and your current glasses or contacts. Recent records from a prior eye doctor are helpful too.

Will my eyes be dilated?

A full exam often includes dilation, which can blur your vision for a few hours. Bring sunglasses, and consider arranging a ride if you are sensitive to light.

Do you see children?

Yes. We care for patients of all ages, including pediatric exams and vision development checks.
