Cataract Surgery
Our state-of-the-art cataract surgery procedures restore clear vision using advanced techniques like Light Adjustable Lenses. We provide pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes. Patients benefit from improved quality of life through enhanced visual acuity and reduced dependency on corrective lenses.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer personalized glaucoma management plans combining medication, laser therapy, and surgical interventions. Our specialists monitor intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Treatment focuses on preserving vision through early detection and tailored therapeutic approaches for long-term disease control.

Our comprehensive dry eye treatments address underlying causes through advanced diagnostic testing and customized interventions. We utilize prescription medications, punctal plugs, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate discomfort. Patients receive ongoing management strategies to maintain ocular surface health and improve tear production quality.

We employ anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and surgical repairs to preserve vision. Treatment plans emphasize early intervention to prevent permanent vision loss from retinal disorders.

Yesterday was my second annual exam at Sabates. I love that every aspect of the Sabates practice is so professional. From my arrival in the lobby, the self check-in process was easy and stress-free. I was seen on time - and that scores big points for me. The first clinician I saw was Jessica, and she conducted several tests before I saw the doctor. She was friendly, and the confidence and care she demonstrated in her skills put me at ease.
I saw Dr Baumfalk for my exam. She, too, was friendly and took her time evaluating my eyes. She reviewed her notes from my previous exam and mentioned an irregularity that she believed was worth further examination by one of their ophthalmologists. This assured me that she was looking out for the long-term health of my eyes. Her focus was not on selling me new glasses or contacts - though I DO plan to get new glasses, and their optical shop has an amazing selection to choose from. I am so glad I found Sabates, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a full service eye center.

I've been a patient of Dr. Sabates for several years and have always experienced excellent care. I've found the staff and associated providers to be professional, courteous and dedicated. I am moving out of the region soon, but plan to always travel back in order to continue to receive my optometric and opthalmic care from this particular provider.

Very pleased with my experience at Sabates. They were able to fit me in last minute as I had an eye irritation that was causing pain. Tamara at the Front Desk was friendly and efficient. The Tech, Bayleigh, was thorough and had a very calm demeanor which was appreciated as I was nervous about my eye issue. Dr. Kellerman was professional and provided a diagnosis and a prescription as well as provided me with a sample for artificial tears. Two days later, I am healing and thankful to everyone I had contact with at Sabates.

Been with this eye center for years, because I like the expertise of the doctors and team. Just had the latest and greatest cataract surgery and never need to wear glasses again, except for sunglasses for protection. I believe they're one of the top Eye Centers.

First of all I was processed right away no waiting at front desk. And no waiting to check out and get next appointment. I needed a complete eye examination But all stations were clean and technician were calming and efficient. Of course the main attraction Dr. Robit Krishna explains everything in terms you understand. They all look professional. The office is clean. The restrooms are clean. The surgical team was fabulous.
I was so nervous. They calmed me so. They made all my anxieties disappear. Plus the surgical center is in the same building you are familiar going to. Parking is never an issue. No garages and elevators to navigate through. Good overall experience.

Dr. Baumfalk is not only a skilled professional, she also a very caring human being. I appreciate her comprehensive exam of my eyes and how she asked questions to help determine my needs and possible options in addition to all the data she had collected. I trust her to give me continued care with my eye health. Her assistant was amazing also. She explained everything she was doing so Dr. B. would have the information she would need to see the total picture of my eyes. She was also very caring and asked questions and told me things to watch out for and what to do it if these happened. I can't say enough good things about both Dr. B. and her staff. Top-notch!
