I was SO nervous about eye surgery, but Dr. Cervantes and his team made me feel so comfortable and cared for. It's never an easy choice to go under the knife, especially out of pocket, but the difference only a month in is already worth it. I am so excited for a life without glasses and contacts! read less

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. read less

He discovered that I had contracted a virus, probably nine years ago, that kept flaring up and causing erosion to my cornea! Yikes! So, in January 2022, I had a cornea transplant. I cannot praise the attention and care I received enough. Dr. Cervantes is totally professional and very knowledgeable, yet caring, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor. He and all the office staff are cheerful and upbeat. I've never seen anyone with a frown. Appointments have always been on time! And I've never felt rushed - all my questions have been answered with detail. Would that all physicians' offices and were like this one! read less

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!

Dr. Cervantes is very personable, down-to-earth, approachable, and friendly. 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 two pre-op visits, a few phone discussions, and two post-op follow-up visits (one for each eye). I had no issues with the surgeries, nor did I experience any unexpected results, but felt reassured that I was able to meet post-surgery with Dr. Cervantes and his staff, nonetheless. Dr. Cervantes performed my surgeries at the Surgery Center of Fairfield County in Trumbull to which he is affiliated. Everyone that I encountered at the SCFC (from the Covid-19 screener to the intake receptionist, all the surgery prep staff, anesthesiologist, and recovery room staff) were just as professional as Dr. Cervantes and his staff making my entire experience very pleasant and comforting. 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 and the pleasant journey to arrive here! read less

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. read less

Their website contained important information regarding the doctors which convinced me to call and move forward with the process. Long story short, Dr. Cervantes and his team were fantastic. It has been 7 months since I had Lasik done and I am truly at a loss for words. I cannot thank him and his team enough for their stunning service and for how much it has made my life better. I would highly recommend him and his great team. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read less

I found them from a google search for best LASIK surgeons in CT. They live up to the reviews. The staff is friendly and comforting and Dr. Cervantes honors his reputation as an award winning eye surgeon. There is no general anesthesia while performing eye surgery to keep cost and risk associated with general anesthetics down. Since you are fully conscious throughout the surgery, the part I appreciated most was his bedside manner while actually performing the procedure. The OR had 4 people in it. Me, the doc, and two of his staff. He played my favorite genre of music, had me take a valium 30 minutes prior to surgery and was talking me through what he was about to do next the whole time. While going through the process he and his assistants were talking to me about movies, music, and the recent storm we had. I tensed up a couple times and they would remind me to relax my body and take a few breaths. While keeping the mood light and me relaxed he triple checked his calculations by confirming the settings of the laser out loud with his staff and verifying the adjustments. Now, I’ve always been very squeamish when it comes to my eyes. That’s why I never attempted contacts. I even had trouble using eye drops, I would flinch every time I went to use them. I won’t lie, the procedure is not the most comfortable you will be in your life but I can’t imagine any other team making it any more comfortable than CT Eye Specialist. That being said, it is a painless procedure. Your vision goes blurry, you feel pressure on your eye, but I never once felt any pain. If you have corrective eye surgery on your mind you should definitely take them up on their free consultation. They will let you know if you are a candidate and answer any and every question you have. If I who can’t even use eye drops before this can get through the procedure I’m sure anyone can. I remember hearing Nothing Else Matters, Bohemian Rhapsody, Seven Nation Army and Scar Tissue playing and then the procedure was done. That’s about 20 minutes of music, so it took about 10 minutes an eye. Most of that time is the prep, drops, keeping the eye lid open etc. The actual laser part is no longer than 15 seconds. You just stare at the green light and let the doc and the laser do their thing. He sends you home with drops and instructions on taking them. Tells you to take a nap if at all possible and keep your eyes closed as much as possible. I followed the drops instructions. Slept the day away. When I woke up my eye had slight discomfort, as if I went swimming in a pool with chlorine with my eyes open for a bit. But nothing unbearable at all. After using the drops some more and a few more hours I couldn’t even tell I had eye surgery… other than the fact that I can see every detail around me. I went from 20/80 vision.. or 80/20 is it? Hey I’m not the eye doctor here.. to 20/20 in the matter of a 20 minute procedure. As I said I never used contacts, I had glasses for about a week and never really used them. So it’s pretty mind blowing to see all these details that were just a blur to me for 30 years of my life. Did a post op follow up today and the doctor reassured me my eyes are healing as best as possible. The most surprising part for me is the post op recovery, I watched videos and read other people’s experiences with other doctors and I was expecting a lot more pain and discomfort for up to a month after surgery. But that is not the case, again I wouldn’t know I had surgery if I wasn’t seeing so well. Absolutely no pain or discomfort. You can trust Dr. Cervantes and his steady hands and expertise to give you amazing results.Those are tears of joy in the picture. read less

Not only are my results great for both eyes, but he is so friendly and empathetic that I was much calmer than I would have been otherwise. Also, in the office before and after the surgeries, he answered all questions very clearly and patiently. Never made me feel like any question was stupid. He gives off a kind and happy vibe. His office staff were also very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing cataract surgery. 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

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.

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.

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.

I have had a few consultations prior to meeting with Dr. Cervantes. Of all the surgeons, Dr. Cervantes presented the best in terms of demeanor, treatment philosophy and overall bed side manners. I never felt rushed or pushed to pursue the corrective eye surgery which is elective. But I definitely had the best care as his pre-op screening definitely revealed findings other doctors had missed. His recommended treatment was individualized for my specific case. The outcome is amazing. To wake up and never have to wear contacts or glasses is truly wonderful. I never would have imagined my eyes to be 20/20 but they are. Truly a wonderful and talented doctor with an amazing and friendly office team. I can't thank them enough. read less

From my first contact until now one day post surgery I have nothing but good things to say about this group. Every phone call was answered on the first ring, each staff person has been friendly, polite & pleasant to work with. Dr., himself also demonstrates these qualities plus the enthusiasm and knowledge regarding the treatment of eye conditions. I respect his concept of time and appreciate the fact that he runs on time. My surgery was scheduled in a timely fashion with a liaison who has crossed all her T's & dotted her I's. No stone was unturned, whoever is the office manager knows her/his job.
My surgery was at Griffin Hospital, the same day Center is a state of the art surgical center. The care & staff was outstanding. Dr. Cervantes again on time & ready to roll.
