! Please Read: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT RE: MEDICAL SERVICES
As of August 2025: Routine Eye Care Services Only
Over the past few years, our clinic has gradually transitioned from an Ophthalmology (MD) practice to an Optometry (OD) clinic following the retirement of our esteemed founder, Dr. Alfred Lovato, MD. While we have been honored to provide our community with non-routine medical care—including diabetic eye exams, glaucoma monitoring, and emergency medical evaluations—the majority of these patients all ultimately require specialized services that only an Ophthalmologist can provide. As a result, most of our medical patients are referred to outside Ophthalmology clinics for additional care that requires a second appointment, with a separate copay, at a different location.
In an effort to save our treasured patients both time and money, we have made the difficult decision moving forward to refer all non-routine medical eye care directly to local Ophthalmology clinics. This change will help ensure that our patients receive the most appropriate level of care as efficiently as possible.
As always, we thank you for your trust, understanding and support now and always.
