Dr Ticho is a fantastic doctor that goes out his way to help patients. During my visit, he and all but one on his team made sure the history for my condition was gathered... proper tests were taken on my eyes... and details were provided and explained for my condition. Dr Ticho answered every question I had. I appreciate his amazing care and that of the medical assistant I initially saw.I'm very concerned about the lack of compassion received by a doctor that reviewed my case before I talked to Dr Ticho. Without seeing the results of my tests, that other doctor proclaimed with a cocky smile that my eyes were bad and I probably needed surgery. I was told on 11/21/25 by staff that on 9/30/25 the two doctors that saw me were Dr Ayham Bwidani and Dr Ticho. However, I could not locate a Dr Bwidani as being associated to this business nor listed as a staff member on their website. Based on online pictures I've seen on the business website, I believe the other doctor that saw me and acted in a negative way was Dr Darin Strako.Nevertheless, whomever the doctor was, I would not want to ever have this person work with me or any other patient due to their lapse in judgement blurting out results without test documentation to back it up. This was careless and heartless. As a result, I've decided at this time not to return to this office.This was my first visit to this office and I must stress Dr Ticho was kind, respectful, and did an outstanding job. More

Having cataract surgery has changed my life tremendously! I feel younger and I am not insecure when I am walking or excercising. Since I have had eye surgery I have gained confidence to start my own business. This surgery is completely life changing for me! I thank God; I thank Dr. Ticho and his staff for the professionalism that they have shown me. Most of all I have 20/20 vision without glasses! More

So far so good. They seemed very organized and very friendly. They were very thorough on the evaluation of the need for cataract surgery. We will see how the surgery goes. More
