In May 2021 he performed the same surgery on my left eye. My vision and quality of life have improved! I only require readers and a good pair of sunglasses.
Thank you Dr. and Staff. read less

I knew I was going to be blind after having it done. Well, I survived and the surgery personnel were so wonderful keeping me focused and calmed down (for the first eye especially). It was wonderful and I am so ecstatic about the results. I haven't seen this clear and precise for years. I thank the staff and especially Dr. Cervantes. He is so friendly and caring and thorough. I almost wish I had a third eye!!! read less

Doctor Cervantes came highly recommended by one of my peers. I went to Dr. Cervantes following an initial visit with a different doctor (who did not seem very enthusiastic about his job, and his technicians did not know how to use some of the testing equipment). As someone who cares for his eyes, I needed a second opinion before jumping into something this big. Doctor Cervantes' office was the complete opposite, and they were using more up-to-date equipment. Needless to say, I was glad I went in search of a second opinion.The doctor and his team answered all of my questions and were very patient and careful with their analysis and, ultimately, their surgical work. Surgery was just as imagined, but with their professionalism, I felt like I was in good hands.As someone who had pretty bad vision, Lasik surgery with this team was transformative, and 3 months later my dryness has mostly gone away, and my vision is more or less stable. I have recommended, and will continue to recommend, Dr. Cervantes to my friends who wish to go through with this procedure. read less

Not only is he a fantastic eye surgeon he is also a super nice guy and very caring. His staff is great, too. Last August & September 2020 Dr. Cervantes removed nodules from both eyes and they healed perfectly. In March 2021 he performed cataract surgery using a super great multifocal J&J lens. Both procedures were painless and the results are fantastic. I had the worst astigmatism and my prescription could no longer fully correct my vision. Now, I can see both near and far without glasses!!! Many thanks to Dr. Cerevantes, a/k/a the Wizard! read less

The competence of everyone in the office couldn't be more apparent, and it is very reassuring before a surgery.The results are 10/10. I was actually having a pretty minor prescription corrected and I can't believe I waited so long, the difference is incredible. The day after the surgery I saw a hawk way up high and saw the sun move across it's back as it turned, just unbelievable stuff. Best money I've ever spent, and if I did it again I'd do it with Dr. Cervantes.Dr. Cervantes runs the appointment where he evaluates if you're a candidate for Lasik differently from both other providers I interviewed; he splits the appointment into 2, with the first part a really preliminary screening which is free and then the more comprehensive appointment where he dilates your eyes that you pay for, but the payment goes towards the surgery if you go through with it. This is all because he does the screening personally- every other provider handed off the evaluation to a technician. At one of the evaluations I didn't meet my surgeon at all, the other I talked to him for about 5 minutes, and it felt really clear that the surgeon felt I was wasting his time.To contrast that, Dr. Cervantes not only runs the entire initial appointment himself allowing you plenty of time to ask any questions, but he also has a next day and next week followup included in his rates which he also runs personally. He really seems to care about you as a patient even after you leave his surgery room.The recovery time was really impressive. I could see better when I walked out of the surgery room (a little bit foggy) and then after a short nap I was like 90% recovered. I immediately stepped outside and was just completely struck by how beautiful the world looked. I drove myself to the followup appointment the next day.It's been about three weeks now and my eyes seem great. I keep some artificial tears handy because they sometimes get dry (less and less) - it's mostly when I'm tired at the end of the day, honestly it's a useful signal to go to bed. read less

I had my lasik procedure done this week, and not only am I very satisfied with my results, but Dr Cervantes, Alyssa, and the entire staff consistently impressed me with their professionalism, positivity, efficiency, and knowledge. I actually commented to the staff on several occasions how positive of an environment they create and how genuinely happy the staff is. On the day of my procedure, it was obvious that Dr. Cervantes and the staff were excited to help me, which certainly eased my nerves. As a medical professional myself, I was consistently comfortable with the office cleanliness and their compliance with covid related procedures. I was also impressed with the clear and professional communication throughout the procedure, including confirmation of name, measurements, timing, etc. I knew I was in competent hands from start to finish, and have already recommended Dr. Cervantes and his team to a friend.

Recently I noticed the lights at home being dimmer than I remember. At the same time I was having difficulty driving at night. The staff at CT EYE SPECIALISTS are all friendly and very caring. DR Cervantes gave me confidence in him that I could trust him with my eyes. He explained the different lenses,and procedures as well as the expected results. I am super happy. For the first time since I was 12 I don't need glasses. The astigmatism is gone, and everything is bright the way it should be. I can't believe I waited so long to have it done. I am driving at night again with no problem. Dr Cervantes did my surgery perfectly and I am forever grateful. If you have Cataracts or other eye problems this is who to see. As a side note I had the surgery at GRIFFIN hospital, which I found to be efficient and extremely well staffed with super nice people. If you are lucky enough to have Adrienne as your nurse she is the best. read less
