Dr Sanders performed a YAG laser capsulotomy for my right eye, yesterday. I was anxious. Once his staff began the process, my stress left and the process went smoothly. All my questions were answered. Dr Sanders is easy to talk to and he is skilled in his profession. His staff is friendly and kind. The facility is clean and in good repair. Parking is free and close to the elevator. I highly recommend Dr Sanders for your next eye-care needs!

Dr. Salem and his people are top notch. I'm 22 years old and I had an anonymous fully developed cataract that today was resolved. From start to finish I was treated with respect and incredible communication throughout the entire process. I was quite nervous being so young and my cataract being "fully white". But despite that, Dr. Salem successfully and I might add even quickly and painlessly worked on me and I'm now sitting at home recovering and seeing out of an eye I was essentially blind in for almost 5 years. I would highly recommend these folks. ...

I have been wearing glasses for over 40 plus years. I would go regularly to have my eyes examined when they needed be. I guess as I aged and my eyes as well, we weren't connecting to good, so long story short after trying several eye drops, they weren't getting any better, so eventually I was told that I would probably end up having cataract surgery and I did. Let me tell you that I can see now. Dr. Andrew Salem and the whole team, everyone that I came in contact with treated me with the most courteous respect. Thank you all.

Dr. Sanders offers the personalized care that doesn’t seem to exist in many places anymore. He took his time and made my mom feel comfortable. He speaks in a tone that relaxes the patient and uses language that my mom could understand to feel confident about her diagnoses and care.
