I had cataract surgery several years ago and it was truly a life changing experience. All my life I had vision at 20 well over 400 requiring strong glasses. Now my vision has never been better thanks to the cataract surgery performed by Dr. Overlease. What a blessing that I had him referred to me. Dr. Overlease and his staff are outstanding and I highly recommend him and his staff!

Dr. Overlease operated for cataracts on my husband's eyes 3 months ago. He was exceptionally courteous and clear on everything that would happen or could happen as my husband had many laser surgeries due to diabetes. The surgeries went well and the difference in his vision is wonderful. His staff are all caring and kind and I am now waiting to have my eyes done. I would not trust them to anyone else!

wait time for my last appt. was 2 hours and 15 minutes. for someone who works, and is forced to take time off to attend a doctor appts, this seems very disrespectful of my TIME. i hope to never experience this long a wait at your office again, and if i do, i would feel compelled to seek services elsewhere. once i met with the doctor, he was professional and thorough.

It will not be overstatement, saying that Dr. Overlease is one of the BEST! Dr. Overlease' professinalism and caring qualities combined with an office practice, built on the forundations of highest ethical standards make this physician a clear winner for the choice of an Ophtalmologist, specializing in the Glaucoma care. Should you need an eye doctor - look no further. Thank you Dr. Overlease for taking care of my eyes, so I could continue to play piano, to read and to enjoy the nature.
