I was so nervous to get my cataract surgery done that I put it off a year.. this was the easiest surgery I ever had done, the hardest thing was me not wearing make up for two weeks, and that was me just following directions I’m sure other people would wear it. The recovery was as easy as not rubbing my eyes. I highly recommend Dr Taylor. The nurses were also wonderful I had no discomfort whatsoever.

Never had such a wonderful experience! Thank you for taking such good care of myself and my husband during our procedures! Dr McMillan is the best!

Had great experience staff and drs great. Had both eyes cataract surgery. But their billing is terrible. I overpaid on first visit and was told twice I had to wait on insurance to pay. I called insurance and was told the bills had been paid almost 2 months ago. So I called back today and was told they would send it over for refund processing and it could take up to 4 weeks. So I would suggest to not pay what they estimate at times of surgery
