The care I received was tremendous. Dr. K not only is a great Dr., he is a wonderful person. He is professional in every way. I also want to thank Dr. Seymour for his quick action in getting me to Dr K. My retina may have detached had I not gotten treated so fast.

Yesterday I thought I was seeing Dr. K got cataracts! He was so kind, patient, and caring. Upon examining me, he found a tear in my right eye and said I need lazer, which he did. I was very anxious, but Dr. K was fabulous and eased my fear. I highly recommend Dr. Kuruvilla!

Had my cataract surgery and found Dr. Kuruvilla to be kind, patient and extremely personable. My sight has never been better! On the two days of surgery (each eye was done on a separate date) Dr. Kuruvilla made sure I was comfortable and talked to me through the entire procedures. I never felt anxious or any pain.

I was somewhat hesitant about seeing Dr. K because I sometimes have difficulty understanding different accents. I am SO glad I saw him. I had no difficulty whatsoever in understanding him, and he is absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly thorough in his examination and he explained everything to me in terms I could understand. Lancaster is truly blessed to have such a good retina doctor locally. You cannot ask for better than The Eye & Laser Center. They are the absolute tops!
