Services
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations assess vision health and detect ocular diseases. Our ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostics to evaluate eye pressure, retinal health, and corneal integrity. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical interventions, ensuring early detection of conditions like glaucoma and cataracts.
Cataract Surgery
Advanced cataract removal with premium intraocular lens implants. We utilize LenSx Laser technology for precise, bladeless procedures that restore clear vision. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans addressing astigmatism and presbyopia, with post-operative care ensuring optimal visual recovery and long-term ocular health.
Contact Lenses
Specialized contact lens fittings for all prescriptions, including astigmatism and keratoconus. Certified technicians provide education on lens care, hygiene, and troubleshooting. We offer soft, rigid gas permeable, and multifocal lenses, with annual evaluations ensuring ongoing corneal health and lens effectiveness for sustained comfort and vision clarity.
Laser Vision Correction
Customized LASIK and PRK procedures correct refractive errors using advanced laser technology. Our surgeons address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, reducing dependency on glasses. Pre-operative assessments ensure candidacy, while post-operative follow-ups monitor healing and visual acuity improvements for lasting results.
Eyelid Surgery
Surgical correction of drooping eyelids improves peripheral vision and aesthetic appearance. Covered by insurance when medically necessary, the procedure removes excess tissue under local anesthesia. Patients experience enhanced comfort and vision, with recovery including minimal bruising and long-term functional benefits.

Well, I am giving them one star. Because they told me my insurance is good. And after 2 months I received a bill of $250 for my simple one-visit simple eye exam. My insurance was not covering it. Please be careful with them.

Terrible service. My doctor made an appointment for me at this facility. I was in the lobby, checked in and waiting when they decided to leave me a voicemail to tell me that they do not take my insurance. Extremely inconvenient and tells me a lot about their attention to detail and lack of procedure. I asked one of the ladies at the desk to pass along a message to someone who had been helping me and she laughed at me twice while I was in a lot of pain and could only open one eye. The cherry on top of an already inconvenient experience.

In the waiting room, just watched them turn a woman away for her appointment - she was about 80 years old. She came in for an appointment that she thought was at 9:15 but it was at 9. She arrived at 9:18. They said she was too late and would need to come back - when she asked if the doctor knew she was told he was with a patient, so the front desk got to make the call. They rescheduled her for three weeks out. Disgusted at how she was treated.

Appointment with Dr. Gross. Simply a wonderful, down to earth person. Always impressed how a doctor can explain complex issues in simple, understandable words. Also, hats off to The Clinic for running an efficient operation. I was in and out of The Clinic in 30 minutes. Finally, thanks for observing that I completed a rather elaborate on line medical history and wasn't forced to do it in the office. Note to future patients. read The Clinic's email communication.

I was very impressed with the how the eye exam was done with Dr. Ristad performing the entire eye exam without the usual assistance of a tech. He was not rushed as I've encountered elsewhere and did a great job of explaining the results as the exam progressed. This was my first visit to his office and I will share my positive experience with family and friends.
