Empire Eye Physicians

I recently had a routine eye exam at Empire Eye Clinic with Dr. Ashlin Sturbaum Zarate, O.D., and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and efficient - check-in was smooth and the wait time was minimal. Dr. Sturbaum Zarate was thorough, professional, and took the time to explain every step of the exam clearly. She answered all my questions without making me feel rushed, and I left feeling completely confident in my results and any recommendations she made. It's clear she genuinely cares about her patients' eye ...

Dr. Jessica Crouch examed my eyes, I am a former patient of Dr. Kontos. I feel she was very thorough and certainly glad I went in. She caught a issue that I never knew I had. That tells me she cares deeply for me. No rush, spent a lot of time with me, and answered all my concerns. Dr. Couch was up front with my diagnosis, and called in a referral to a specialist to exam for himself, and verify her findings. I certainly would refer her to anyone who needs a eye doctor, I say DO NOT PUT IT OFF FOR ONE MINUTE! She has convinced me Empire Eye has a very ...

Very organized. Very efficient. When I left Dr.. Couch I was informed with my options and recommendations of the best treatment plan. A+, 5 star, however you would like to grade.

Toward the end of March Empire Eye’s Dr. Christopher Sturbaum replaced my cataracts with light activated lenses. He has performed over 15,000 cataract surgeries, so I knew I was in good hands. My surgery went well. Four weeks of healing later Empire Eye’s Dr. Ashlin Zarate began the process of using UV light to modify my lenses to give me the best vision possible. She was patient, careful, encouraging, and competent; now I have excellent distance vision in one eye, and excellent near vision in the other. I am thrilled with my lenses and the care I ...

The whole experience was incredible. I really can't believe my vision 20/15 to be exact. I'll be able to see the fly balls at the Indian games, geese while I'm guiding waterfowl and wear my Maui Jim's that I bought roughly twenty years ago just before I had to get glasses. What a blessing. Thank you to everyone at Empire Eye.
