Best experience!!!!
Dr. Cervantes and his staff are amazing! The personal care and the fact what Dr. Cervantes did for my vision was incredible! I had my first of two cataract surgeries on May 11th. The care at Griffin Hospital and what the doctor did for my vision I cannot be happier! If you need anything done with your eyes, please be smart and go to Dr. Cervantes!!!

Very Nice Doctor
I found Dr. Cervantes to be very personable, he explained the procedure and options clearly and I didn't realize how much my cataracts were blurring my vision util after the surgery. My wife also had a very good experience.

Great doctor
Dr Cervantes has a fantastic bed-side manner! He explained the cataract procedure to me very well and calmed any fears I had about the surgery. He cares about his patients and it shows! I highly recommend him for any eye surgery anyone may need.

Highly Recommend
Debating LASIK eye surgery for many years created numerous questions and anxiousness. Dr. Cervantes answered all of my questions and we were able to come up with a plan that made me feel confident about the procedure. I am grateful for being under the care of Dr. Cervantes and his team and for being glasses-free for the first time since I was 12.

20/20 vision
I have been so lucky to have my sight improved after 2 cataract operations by Dr. Cerevantes. All aspects of the 2 operations were handled perfectly. My questions were answered by the dr and his team in detail. Any fears or problems with recuperation were assuaged.

The best ophthalmologist in the area!!
Dr Cervantes was recommended to me by my own ophthalmologist, who did not perform surgery, over surgeons within his own eye care practice! He knew Dr Cervantes personally and was well aware of his skill as an eye surgeon. Several nurses also commented to me "he is the best"! He performed cataract surgery on both my eyes with great results. He's a terrific ophthalmologist and also has a very nice personality.

Highly recommend!
I was waiting many years to have the Lasik procedure, and am absolutely thrilled that I finally had it done with Dr. Cervantes. When I was ready to see a doctor for a consultation, Dr. Cervantes was recommended by another ophthalmologist. He came highly praised as the expert in the field to see. At my first consultation, the process was thoroughly discussed with me, all questions answered with patience and I never felt that I was being rushed out the door. On top of everything, Dr. Cervantes and his coordinator were incredibly accommodating and tried hard to try to get my procedure scheduled to help my timeline and what I needed. Apart from my great outcome, this was the best part of my experience, and I am very grateful they helped me the way they did. The procedure was fast and smooth, with everyone in the operating room walking me through every step and let me know what was coming up so that I felt comfortable. Ultimately it took 8 seconds per eye and the results have been amazing.

I had cataract surgery on both my eyes in August. I was very anxious about having someone 'fooling around' with my eyes, but Dr. Cervantes put me at ease. He explained the procedure to me and answered all of my questions clearly. After wearing glasses for over 60 years, I now only need reading glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Cervantes and his staff.

Excellent Cataract Surgery Experience
I had cataract surgery recently, my left eye in April and my right eye in May. It was a very positive experience both times. Dr Cervantes was pleasant ,reassuring and answered my questions, which put me at ease. Most of all he is highly skilled and I experienced no pain or complications. I am so happy with the outcome. I decided to have Toric lenses inserted during the surgery and no longer need glasses except for reading and many times I don’t even need the glasses. I can drive at night again. Colors are so much brighter and true instead of dull and darker than they really are. Before surgery I thought my little grandson’s
hair was light brown and after surgery I can see that he is actually blonde!
The office staff is pleasant, friendly and efficient. My follow up appointments went well and there is very little wait time after you arrive. I would (and have) highly recommend Dr Cervantes for your eye care needs.

Wonderful Cataract Surgery Experience
I had the most wonderful experience for my cataract surgery twice, as each eye surgery is done separately. Dr. Cervantes Office is excellent. You always get to speak to a live person when calling to help you get answers to any questions or concerns you may have. The same occurs during office visits. I also had an excellent experience by all caregivers at the outpatient surgical center. Everyone explained what was going to happened and alleviated any fears along the way. After the surgery I had no complications and was extremely pleased with my restored vision. As a retired healthcare worker, I would definitely use Dr. Cervantes in the future for any eye health needs.

Positive LASIX experience.
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Cervantes and his staff. I had LASIK done at his office. When you call his office you do not get an automated answering service, but an actual person. When you go to his office you are welcomed, listened to, and all staff are caring. Dr. Cervantes and his staff sit down with you and talk you through the whole process. You will not have many questions because they have the LASIK process down from start to finish. While I paid more for LASIK through Dr. Cervantes, it was worth every penny and I would recommend all to his office.

My experience with Dr. Cervantes and his staff was outstanding! He and his staff are very professional, proficient, and reassuring. Both of my eyes had cataracts that needed surgery/lens replacement. Dr. Cervantes addressed my concerns and was able to suggest a plan that would correct vision in both of my eyes and enable me to see perfectly without any need for post-surgery corrective eyeglasses—quite an accomplishment for me since I’ve been wearing corrective lenses for 60 years! He and his staff thoroughly explained every step of the pre- and post-surgical procedures, this made me feel extremely comfortable with having the surgeries and very optimistic about the outcomes. I had no issues with the surgeries, nor did I experience any unexpected results. I highly recommend Dr. Cervantes for cataract surgery! I can now see blades of grass and the leaves on the trees more explicitly than I have in 60 years and I have Dr. Cervantes to thank for this perfect vision!!!

When my optometrist couldn't correct my vision with lenses anymore, she referred me to Dr. Cervantes for cataract surgery - because he is who she had do *her* surgery. Huge point here - Dr. Cervantes is the eye doctor that other eye doctors go to for care! He is a soft spoken gentleman who explains everything in an easy to understand manner. When it comes to the surgery, his skills become obvious. You are not put asleep, there is no pain or sensation whatsoever, and Dr. C tells you what he's doing at each step. I've worn eyeglasses for reading and distance sight for more than 25 years. Dr. Cervantes removed my cataracts and corrected my vision to 20/20 in both eyes. I only need glasses for reading. Thanks to him my world is now bright, colorful, and in sharp focus. You cannot go wrong putting your eyes in the care of Dr. Lorenzo Cervantes.
