In our patients’ words
My cataract surgery was such a blessing. I can see so clear now. There was no pain and the procedure went just like they explained it to me.
I recently had cataracts replaced in both eyes. Everything was very smooth. Dr. Falgoust and staff are always eager to answer questions and never rush through any examination.
He is a very kind doctor with a great bedside manner. I can see very clear now. All his staff are awesome and very sweet. Thanks Dr. Falgoust for my new eyes!
I was referred to Dr. Falgoust for cataract surgery. It was a very pleasant experience and I had wonderful results. He took time when examining eyes the first visit and follow-up appointments as well.
Dr. Falgoust is very professional and knowledgeable. His staff is polite and courteous, and keeps you up to date on what is being done.
