Cornea cell transplant Although I was extremely nervous about my surgery, it was just as Dr. Cervantes described it. The several days of being on my back, in retrospect, went smoothly. He is kind, caring and, of course, expert. I could not have had a more positive experience.

Outstanding care, follow up and attention to detail made the experience and the result life changing.

I wish I could give 1 million stars! I have been contending with bouts of inflammatory keratitis since 2019 and have been under Dr. Cervantes' care since the start. I had been doing well for over a year with no flare-ups, but this weekend, I developed a pretty severe case. Of course, the symptoms didn't manifest until Saturday morning, and I had an event on Sunday that I really did not want to miss. Fortunately, Dr. Cervantes was on call for the practice. I called the answering service and immediately received a callback. Dr. Cervantes could have easily told me to go to the ER and follow up with him on Monday. But he didn't. He met me at the office on both Saturday and Sunday and treated me in person. I was able to attend and enjoy my event on Sunday. Dr. Cervantes is a truly caring doctor. The office staff is equally as wonderful and got me in again on Monday to make sure we were headed in the right direction. I am truly grateful for the wonderful care I have received from Dr. Cervantes and his staff, and I cannot recommend Connecticut Eye Specialists highly enough!

I had cataract surgery and doctor Cervantes was wonderful. The attention and concern shown by him and his whole office made the experience Comforting.

The office of Dr. Cervantes was professional & explanatory of what to expect when doing PRK. They answered all my questions & having the on call option after surgery if I needed help made me feel cared for & secure when I needed a better understanding of the medications to take/ when. I can see clearly now after a few months post- surgery & it’s an amazing feeling to be able to see without the aid of contacts/ glasses. I would say that if you decide to do this surgery this would be a great place to go as they are very personable & remember to have patience- with yourself, the eyecare team & the healing process. (It was blurry for awhile afterwards, but once things cleared up, felt great!)

So very happy to have had PRK surgery done I can finally see without contacts or glasses, total game changer. Dr. Cervantes and his staff are kind knowledgeable and take the time to explain every step. Highly recommend.

I recently visited Dr. Cervantes' office for LASIK surgery, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The service was excellent, the staff was amazing, and Dr. Cervantes' professionalism was outstanding. I highly recommend this office for anyone considering LASIK surgery.

Amazing There is no doctor with whom I have ever dealt who is more skilled, more generous, kinder and more supportive than Dr. Cervantes. I only wish that every doctor in the world, no matter what his or her specialty is, could be half the amazing physician and human being that Dr. Cervantes is. He restores hope where there is none and lets you know that he is standing by your side. You cannot do better.

Amazing and friendly staff, Dr. Lorenzo Cervantes was awesome. I would recommend CT eye specialists to anyone

Highly Recommend!! Dr. Lorenzo Cervantes recently performed cataract surgery on my eyes. I could not have asked for a more skillful and compassionate surgeon! Along with the rest of the talented, and friendly professional staff at CT Eye Specialists, they put my nervous mind at ease by being available to answer my questions with kindness through out the process.

I am amazed at how well I see now, it’s like he took 40 years off my eyes! I highly recommend these folks!

On February 8th, 2024 I had my second cataract surgery with Dr. Cervantes. My first one was in October of 2023. Both surgeries were painless and successful. My vision is awesome: the whites are now actually white and the colors are gorgeous. He is an exceptional eye surgeon and came highly recommended. My optometrist said that he has the cleanest cuts she has ever seen. I highly recommend Dr. Cervantes for all eye surgery.

PRK Refractive Surgery I was not a good candidate for LASIK but I was able to have PRK. A week later I can see clearly. I am trilled with the results!! Dr. Cervantes and his staff were kind, caring and informative. No question went unanswered. The procedure was a breeze and the care was amazing. If you are considering LASIK or PRK...I would seek Dr. Cervantes out. Thank you. Its so amazing.

I had PRK a week ago and can see clearly without glasses or contacts. Dr. Cervantes and his team were attentive, kind and answered all my questions fully. They made the procedure a breeze and so quick. I felt fully supported by Dr. Cervantes and his team at every visit. Scheduling was never challenging and they really worked with me around my schedule. I am very pleased with my experience and the results. Thank you.

My husband was referred to Dr Cervantes due to a suggested Corneal Transplant. We met with him this morning and very happy with the consultation. He answered all of our questions with compassion and knowledge. . We will be seeing him again Jan for The transplant procedure

I have completed cataract surgery with Dr. Cervantes. It was fast, painless, and successful. Due to the friendliness, the kindness, and the helpfulness of Dr. Cervantes and his staff, I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. I definitely do highly recommend Dr. Cervantes for all eye surgery.

The whole experience from entering the office to the staff and Dr Cervantas

After having a traumatic eye injury, I was referred to Dr. Cervantes to further assess the damage my cornea had sustained. They got me in right away. Dr. Cervantes examined me and what I really appreciated is he gave me an honest answer. We just need to see how it would heal. He was comforting but factual in explaining each possible outcome. Great doctor!

It is obvious that as we age, your eyes will change. Dr. Lorenzo Cervantes MD and his team are well aware that your eye health is very important to you. He demonstrates concern by so attentive to your questions. The thoroughness of he and his staff in getting an accurate history of your vision is exemplary! There is no doubt that Dr. Cervantes brings his vast training and knowledge to knowing how to treat your eyes such that your vision is as healthy as can be!

Dr. Cervantes and his staff were kind, respectful, and very knowledgeable.My husband has also been cared for by Dr. Cervantes so I had good expectations and they were met wonderfully.When I needed to change the location of my scheduled procedures, his office was able to accommodate me in an amazingly timely manner.My only suggestion is that the office suggest that patients check with their insurance re: cost at different surgery locations. If I hadn't been aware of what my husband paid for his cataract surgery, I would have ended up spending ALOT more at one location.Again, my experience and confidence in the care I received were positive.

I had LASIK a week ago and it has been a life changing experience. I had been wearing glasses since I was 12 yrs old, but was able to walk out of the surgery room without having to wear my glasses. The surgery was quicker than I thought. It could be because the team was so engaging. We started talking about vacations (which is a topic I enjoy). It relaxed me and it was done so fast. Dr. Cervantes is such a professional and has blessed hands. His team is amazing too. They all tell you what to expect step by step, which is something I appreciate. Recovery has been great. I took the day off because of the mild irritation and kind of dozed off throughout the day to rest my eyes. Prep for that if you do it because you will need it. I already told a few of my family members and friends about the experience and encouraged them to look into the surgery. Don't overthink it!!!

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!!!

Before, during, and after my LASIK surgery, Dr. Cervantes was knowledgable, attentive, and meticulous. I felt well-informed, safe, and prioritized. My vision is incredible!

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.

Excellent care from Dr.Cervantes!! So thankful I can see! Dr.Cervantes is highly skilled and cares for his patients,as does his staff. I was very nervous and he and his staff put me at ease immediately. Many thanks!!

Dr Cervantes and his team are Courteous,Friendly and Very Knowledgable.He gave me a Whole New World to look at with my Cataract Surgery.The Whole Process is totally Painless and the Outcome was Incredible. Look no Further! Go see Dr. Cervantes, you will be very Happy,especially when you throw your Glasses away! Oh Yeah, he is also Very Funny,makes light of the whole Procedure. What are you waiting for?????????????????????

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.

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.

I would recommend Dr Cervantes and his team in a heartbeat. There was never a doubt in my mind when I was going through the process of lasik surgery, the pre and post apts were a breeze. They are gentle, kind and patient.

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 can finally see without glasses after decades of wearing them. I cannot recommend this procedure and this office enough.

Dr. Cervantes and the rest of the staff are so incredibly kind. I had my lasik done with them and after one day the results were already amazing!

Dr Cervantes is a highly skilled and excellent eye surgeon. He is professional, polite, friendly, informative and compassionate. His bedside manner is very comforting. I had two cataract surgeries and I very much highly recommend Dr Cervantes and his amazing staff.

Dr. Cervantes is very knowledgeable and explains things well. His abilities as a surgeon are amazing. There was no discomfort during the procedure and the next day, my vision was as good as it was years ago... 20/20!! His office staff were also very helpful and friendly. Thanks Dr. Cervantes!

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.

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.

I was apprehensive about the cataract surgery but as soon as I got to griffin outpatient surgery each and every person (nurse, anesthesiologist, aid who took bp). They were excellent professional and kind. Top that off with the very best DR CERVANTES I couldn’t be happier with the results. No pain, perfect vision!! I would highly recommend Dr Cervantes he is kind sensitive, caring and the best ophthalmologist! Congratulations to a wonderful team

Dr Cervantes remove cataracts in both my eyes. I could see clearly the same day.
For anyone needing eye surgery I would highly recommend using him. I had no problem after my eye surgery and my follow ups went well.

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.

I had LASIK done recently and I’m so glad I did. Incredible results!! And the procedure was super easy and painless. Recovery was easier than expected too. Just had to follow their simple instructions. Anyone can do it! Highly recommend!!!! Dr Cervantes and his staff are super kind, easy going and totally helpful and accommodating. So glad I trusted them with this procedure. Thanks a million 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Highly recommended! 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!

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 was excellent. Every thing went smoothly and according to plan. He has a great bedside manner. I would recommend him highly..

I initially saw Dr. Cervantes for what began as a cataract consultation. 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!

Can't speak highly enough of CT Eye Specialist. Dr. Lorenzo Cervantes was very thorough with pre and post examinations throughout the process of my Lasik procedure. I recommend going here if in need of Lasik or PRK

I recently had 2 cataract eye surgeries. I had total anxiety before the first surgery. Dr. Cervantes put me at total ease. Explained everything from start to finish. By the second surgery I was calm. Thank you Dr. Cervantes and staff. Total professionalism. I love my new eyes! I can see clearly now. Gratitude abound.

I have been a patient of Dr Sokol’s in excess of 15 years. In that time he has exhibited the utmost professionalism and compassion. His skill level is second to none and his drive to give his patients the absolute best care is also second to none.
