Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery involves removing clouded natural lenses and replacing them with artificial intraocular lenses. Our surgeons use advanced phacoemulsification techniques for minimal incision sizes and faster recovery. Patients benefit from improved vision clarity and reduced dependency on glasses post-surgery.
LASIK
LASIK procedures reshape the cornea using precision laser technology to correct refractive errors. Our customized wavefront-guided treatments address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within 24 hours of the quick, outpatient procedure.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma management including medication regimens, laser treatments, and surgical interventions. Our diagnostic suite detects early-stage glaucoma through advanced intraocular pressure measurements and optic nerve assessments. Treatment plans focus on preserving vision through lifelong pressure control.
Cornea Transplants
Corneal transplant procedures replace damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. Our specialists perform traditional penetrating keratoplasty and modern endothelial keratoplasty techniques. These surgeries restore vision clarity for patients with corneal scarring or degenerative conditions.
Complete Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations evaluate both vision quality and ocular health. Our doctors perform detailed visual acuity tests, intraocular pressure measurements, and retinal evaluations. These exams detect early signs of eye diseases while determining optimal vision correction prescriptions.

Stay away from this place! Awful! Trust me! Money machine.period.worse medical experience in my entire life! (I am 66). Zero communication + arrogance = fail! Too many patients for their skill levels and staffing. Again, stay far away.thank you!

Very disappointed by inefficient front staff; have been trying to schedule my yearly appointment for last 2 weeks and called them several times, left messages. Once they confirmed to get back to me in 24 hours with options but no one called me back. I like the doctor and that's why I am sticking otherwise i would have moved to other center, which provides quality service and respects patient's time.

I am usually quite nervous when I visit doctors, but Dr. Severin's communication and calm manner gives me confidence. He patiently listens to my concerns about my eyes and explains possible solutions. His staff is warm, caring, and friendly making you feel like you are a part of their family. Dr. Severin uses the latest medical technology in treating your eyes. I have been one of his patients for well over a decade and would highly recommend him.

I called today 4/21, 2:10 PMThis place was referred to me by two of my friends. I called and attempted to make an appointment for eye exam and potential cataract surgery. I had a young gal taking my information, I gave her my insurance info which is a PPO. She put me on hold, came back on line and said "I'm sorry, we do not take your insurance ". I have never had a Dr. say this to me, let alone refuse to call my insurance company and get an understanding of the procedure. It's called Apostrophe, use it all the time.

Sad there is such a rude front desk person, unwilling to take 5 min to call the insurance company and further their understanding. I will let my two friends know the treatment I got! Dr. May be good but when your front desk is the roadblock, lots of business being lost.
