You Care, We Care, Eye Care

"I recently had cataract surgery on my left eye at Pima Eye Institute and Catalina Surgery Center with Dr. Lindsay Tavares. I have been under her care for around 20 years and have previously had cataract surgery on my right eye. Dr. Tavares is a very kind, caring person, and a pleasure to be a patient with. She is extremely competent as demonstrated by outstanding results with both surgeries. I now have nearly perfect vision and no longer need reading glasses. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with Dr. Tavares."

"Great experience as a first timer. I barely waited to be helped when I checked in. The staff and Dr. Couso were all very friendly and helpful. Dr. Couso really took his time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. After a successful surgery, he was thorough in his examinations to make sure everything went smoothly. I had a great visit and the doctor’s demeanor had really put me at ease prior to surgery and after. I highly recommend this clinic and even more specifically, Dr. Couso."

"Dr. Sanan and his medical staff are top-notch, knowledgeable, patient, and most kind! I just had cataract surgery and not only was it completely painless, but a very quick procedure!!

In addition, the staff at the nearby Catalina Surgical Center where the surgery was performed were all kind and caring!

Many years ago when my previous ophthalmologist was retiring, I asked him to give me the name of another doctor. He didn’t hesitate when he recommended Ajay Sanan. He told me that Dr. Sanan, was not only a very fine doctor, but one of the best cataract surgeons in Tucson. I have been a patient of Dr. Sanan now for many years and and when it became necessary for me to have cateract surgery, I didn’t hesitate to use him as a surgeon for the removal of my cataracts. What a difference he made in my vision!

In the following checkups, Dr. Sanan thoroughly checked my eyes and patiently answered all my questions.

He is a delightful person and so calm and reassuring. You know you’re in good hands with Dr. AJay Sanan!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Lindsay Tavares, M.D. and the Pima Eye Institute staff for the excellent care I received during my recent cataract surgery. The results were extraordinary. Your professionalism and excellence put me at ease and I am thankful the surgery is behind me and very pleased with the results."

"Best medical care I've had in Tucson (and I've had a lot). The staff is friendly, calming, and Dr. Tavares is absolutely an angel."

"Just finished cataract surgery with Dr. Tavares and can’t say enough about her expertise and care both with helping decide what lenses would best suit my eyes and lifestyle and with her skill in the operating room. She took the time I needed to understand what would happen and the expected results and and her follow up is amazing. The staff at her office and at the surgery center were courteous and knowledgeable and got you through quickly. I highly recommend her and her staff!"

"In 2018 I had cataract surgery and both eyes and a laser treatment for stigmatism I was a little nervous did not know what to expect. And I was so fortunate to find Dr Lindsey Traveras she is so amazing so good so kind. She cares about people and she takes pride in her work and making sure that all of her patients are I can't say enough good things about her. My surgery was done over at the Catalina surgery center and everything was so smooth and so fast I was so so very impressed."

"Great experience, very honest and intelligent Doctor's. The staff is definitely very friendly and are always there to answer any doubt. Thanks for all you do."

"Very best place to go for cataract or any other eye problem! Staff is GREAT, doctor is SUPER GREAT. My vision is better than 20/20 in both eyes now. No more glasses, just 1 contact to read! LOVE IT !!! Plus he fixed my astigmatism problem in the surgery!!"

"As a research biochemist I know that not all MDs are created equal, and I'm very picky about my own doctors. Dr. Tavares impressed me at our first meeting when she looked at me instead of the computer screen as we talked. She impressed me even more when she ran into unexpected complications during my cataract surgery. She abandoned her schedule and slowly, methodically, worked her way through the problem. I thank her for her skill and care."

"I cannot say enough how thorough and flawless my Lasik procedure was thanks to Dr. Sanan and the Pima Eye Institutes staff. From start to finish, Dr. Sanan personally answered all questions, explained the pros and made sure I understood any risks. By the time I left our first meeting, there was no question that he and his staff were the premier group in Arizona. Dr. Sanan is not only an ophthalmologist, his specialties in surgery elevated my confidence in any procedure. My surgery went off as planned and the results are beyond what my expectations. There is no question I would recommend Dr. Sanan to anyone! Thank you Dr. Sanan for positively changing my life."

"My cataracts were just done by Dr. Tavares. It went so smoothly and efficiently. She’s caring, calls you at home to be sure you’re ok, explains everything in depth. There is no one else I would go to for my eye care!"
