My visit with Dr Gilbert on Monday 5/11/26 went exactly like I hoped it would. His team conducted an exam that reviewed the condition of my eyesight and then reviewed my medical and family history in a comfortable setting. De Show moreGilbert then came in and conducted his exam which was more detailed. He explained the process, noted that my left eye was in need of treatment, and that we can discuss additional options at a later time. That seemed logical and straightforward. Dr Gilbert had taken care of my wife’s cataracts a few years ago. She was highly complimentary of Dr Gilbert’s skill and personality. I look forward to soon having this procedure. Neal

Follow through on a referral from urgent care. good assessment, eye check and recommendation for an eye lubricant to ease recovery from “Bell’s Palsy”. Doctor Gilbert performed sugery on my right eye 3 years ago and the outcome was spectacular.
Great experience all around.
Dr Gilbert is very professional and answers questions and gives you options with time to decide your decision later and let the office know. I have gone to him for many years and am very happy with my cataract surgery too.
To have a doctor who is sensitive, understanding and skillful, makes surgery so much less fearful. Dr Gilbert accommodated my needs, and my surgery was successful.
