Dr Alabata is a skilled and caring doctor. His office has the latest technology and the staff was always friendly and helpful. He removed cataracts from my eyes and used laser treatment. It didn’t hurt and I can see without glasses. I highly recommend him! Thank you Dr Alabata!

Dr Alabata and his entire team are fantastic! Genuinely caring, nice and hilarious. I had my lasik done here recently and my prescription was extremely high. I was nervous I wouldn’t ever be able to ditch my thick, thickkkk glasses, but the man did it!

Dr. Alabata removed my mother's cataracts 20 years ago and now has removed my wives. I'll never forget their reactions the day after surgery and gratitude for their vision being restored. I wouldn't trust anyone else but him!
