- Response from the ownerGood afternoon Mrs. Caskey, We take all feedback very seriously and are committed to providing a high standard of care. Due to privacy regulations we are unable to address any patient care or experiences in a public forum. I would be more than happy to address your concerns privately whenever you are ready if you would like to call the office and ask to speak with Kristen.
Awesome job on my Cataract. Had no pain and the purcedure was quick. Thank you so much Dr. Alabata. I will be going back and getting my other eye done soon 😊
Dr. Alabata and his staff are truly top notch. From start to finish, my experience with them this summer was exceptional. After wearing glasses and contacts my entire adult life, I can finally see ALL the things — good, bad, small, large, dirty and spotless! 😊 I had a 2.9 diopter astigmatism and underwent cataract surgery with toric lenses in both eyes. Being able to go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning and actually SEE before I even get out of bed is something I don’t think I’ll ever take for granted. I’m so thankful I chose Dr. Alabata and couldn’t be happier with my results. I highly recommend him!
Amazing eye center. I got eye surgery and can see so much better than before! Everyone that works there is always in such a great mood, the facility is extremely clean and well kept, their instructions for eye care and what to do is very clear and easy to follow pre and post surgery. I will always recommend them to anyone that needs an eye appointment of any kind. Thank you.
Dr. Alabata is a courteous, friendly, professional and very adept physician. He performed a first rate procedure for my cataract surgery. I have nothing but praise for his skill and professionalism. His staff are prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and professional. A fine doctor and a fine staff. Kudos!
Response from the ownerThank you Mr Howard for your kind comments!My cataract surgery with lense implants by Dr. Alabata turned out better than I expected. My vision is better now than it has been in many years. His staff is very well trained and helpful. I highly recommend Dr Alabata to anyone needing this type of procedure.
Response from the ownerThank you for the kind words!
