I've been going to Sabates Eye Center for several years. The doctors and technicians are very familiar with the genetic disorder I have called Marfan Syndrome. Everyone has been professional and caring, willingly answering every question I had.

My first time having eye surgery and the friendly professional staff made me feel at ease and comfortable. They were helpful and informative as well.

Every experience on my visits have been great from check in to check out. The staff has a great chairside manner. I am so grateful to be a patient of Dr. Nelson Sabates. He is very thorough and caught the beginning of an eye problem for me that is to date no longer a problem. I could not ask for a better Dr. or Dr.'s office.
