Based on the demographics of this practice, most patients are recurring and long-term. We believe in getting to know them as an individual, then tailoring the treatment to meet his/her vision and lifestyle goals. We provide medical education in plain language during their visits, engage in dialogue about their management options, and use cutting-edge technology to make it all happen. That’s the Advanced Eye Care experience! This positive perspective also extends beyond patients to our outlook on taking care of each other within the Ascend Eye Center staff.
