Reviews
“I had cataract surgery yesterday and had a wonderful experience! Front desk was very helpful. I had received a call a few days prior to see if I had any questions and they told me I would not have a co pay on day of surgery. We arrived early since coming from illinois so they had my file all ready to be called for surgery prep. All nurses and staff were so kind and courteous and instantly put me at ease. Everything was thoroughly explained to me and I saw Dr Stock before my surgery. After surgery, I received something to drink and a snack I was then walked out to meet my husband waiting with the car. A great experience and ready to get my other eye done. Thank you Advanced Surgical for the professional and wonderful job!!”

“I can’t believe the bad reviews. My cataract eye surgeon was Dr. Michael Stock. Both appointments 10/23/24 for the left eye and 11/11/24 for the right eye couldn’t have went smoother. The up front desk assistance were very nice and helpful. All the nurses and the anesthesiologist were very kind, supportive and efficient with all the patients coming through. I got in a little early on 10/23 and on 11/11 I waited about 15 minutes past my scheduled time to go back to get prep for surgery. When you come out of surgery they offer you a little snack and drink and call your driver. My driver accepted the call right off and the nurse walked me out. I saw nurses go outside and hunt down drivers that were not right there waiting. They went way and beyond what they should have had to do to get their patients on their way home. PS, Dr Stock is an excellent surgeon and a kind doctor.”
