I've been a patient at Pima Eye Institute for over two years. Dr. Sanan and his team have been wonderful to work with. The front office is always helpful and friendly, both in person and by phone. I'm grateful for this great care for my delicate and important eyes!

My appointment at Pima Eye Institute was 12/12 late afternoon. I will be switching Opthalmologist after this apt. Most unprofessional experience. The front staff was welcoming but as I waited for my appointment a altercation was going on with management and employees and it was so unprofessional to see management got out of hand and how poorly she treated staff regardless of what is going on. No respect for a human beings.

I chose Dr. Tavares for my cataract surgery based on many positive reviews from people in our community, who described her as caring, taking time to help make the right decisions on cataract surgery, all of whom were very pleased with the outcome even though each had chosen a various lens types. She was everything they said, and my outcome was even better than I had hoped ... 20/15 vision (uncorrected), most of my astigmatism corrected, and clear/vivid colors with no blurred edges on things. I originally went to her for a second opinion, but I was so ...

I was referred to Dr. Tavares by some friends that had a good experience with their cataract surgery. I went for an evaluation and decided at my six month check up to go ahead with the surgery. She explained the treatment and options, I choose multi-focus lenses and glad I did. It turned out better than my expectations and the whole staff involved was very good.

Dr Sanan's staff are not only courteous, they are also very knowledgeable. Both my husband and I have been long term patients, both of us have had surgery and glasses prescriptions. Dr Sanan answers all of our questions taking the time we need to understand. There's not a better ophthalmologist in the US.
