I had both cataracts removed this year and could not ask for a better experience or a better doctor! Dr. Bannan is very personable and cares about his patients. I especially liked the follow-up call that evening at home on each day I had surgery. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who asks me about cataract surgeons.

I trust Dr Bannon with my eyesight. We are truly fortunate to have him. I was practically blind and now have 20/20 vision. Wonderful, accommodating staff! GOD bless you all!

Ray Bannan and his team are talented professionals providing high-caliber care with devoted attention to the best quality outcomes. My cataract multi-focal lens replacement experience was exceptional with vision greatly improved.

Dr. Bannan performed laser cataract surgery on both my eyes using the laser technique in 2019. I have been totally satisfied with the results. My vision was corrected for distance. I have a prescription for reading. Without glasses, my distance vision is 20/20 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye. That's not enough to make much of a difference. He is always available in the event of any questions or problems.
