I like to walk into a doctor's office and watch the staff. If they great me with a smile (and mean it), do not mind questions and finally, how they get along with each other. Arena Eye Surgeons were all the above and more. Especially Annie and Kelly. I am looking forward to my next visit. I was impressed by my doctor too. He explained things to me that I did know and that means a lot to me. So thank you AES for a very good and informative visit! Thank

I have just had another excellent experience with the wonderful doctors and team members at Arena Eye Surgeons. I had cataract surgery yesterday. It was like a well oiled machine. everyone had a specific part to my surgery and was professional, safe, kind and helpful. Today I am back to be checked on and am happy that all is exactly as expected. I am so pleased and fortunate to be in Arena Eye Surgeon's care! I highly recommend them!

Arena Eye Surgeons are the best surgeons and professional staff that I have encountered. From Dr. Kelley, since 1984, Dr. Patel and staff, detached retina, to most recently, Dr. DeNaeyer, the "lens master." I also must include the front desk and billing and their accommodating characters and smiles, I highly recommend these wonderful Doctors whom have done great things for me.

I had surgery on both eyes to remove cataracts. The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Papa performed the surgeries and now I have 20/20 vision in both eyes. He thoroughly explained each procedure before and after. He completely answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable and in good hands. Jim
