CATARACT REFRACTIVE
“Providing surgical excellence to four different communities, I have come to solely rely on and trust Sightpath to deliver a professional, knowledgeable staff and reliable state-of-the-art equipment for my patients. For over a decade, I have been working hand-in-hand with the team at Sightpath Medical for cataract and refractive services. Because of that relationship, the communities I serve have been able to receive the best care ophthalmology has to offer.”

“Our practice uses the Sightpath Medical Ro-Ro (Roll-On Roll-Off) VISX Star 4 IR™ Laser and we are extremely happy with the functionality and service we receive. Each time the laser is rolled into our LASIK Suite, we are assured we are using the newest, most up-to-date technology without having to invest in upgrading the laser ourselves. The staff that Sightpath Medical provides is phenomenal – the engineer knows all the intricacies of the laser and keeps it in tip top condition. The LaserVision staff works very well with our LASIK team to provide an exceptional patient experience.”

"Sutter North Surgery Center and Sightpath Medical have been working together for over three years now, and I can’t say enough about how much they have helped us grow our business. By partnering with Sightpath and benefitting from their knowledgeable staff, state-of-the-art technology and excellent service, we doubled our volume of ophthalmic cases in our multispecialty surgery center in less than a year.
"The Sightpath staff were even integral in helping me recruit physicians to the center because of their expertise and integrity. I would recommend Sightpath to anyone interested in a turnkey operation that will result in excellent quality of care and a profitable operation.”
— Dean K. Ward, Administrator
Sutter North Surgery Center, Yuba City, CA
"Sightpath Medical has been instrumental in helping us develop a state-of-the-art refractive practice. Their standards of quality and accuracy are at the same high levels that we expect from ourselves. The technical staff is honest, dependable, accurate and very accommodating. I especially enjoy the support that Dr. David Hardten provides through monthly clinical teleconferences. He is extremely knowledgeable and is a great teacher. It is a pleasure having Sightpath on our team."

"I have developed a busy and satisfying rural surgical practice by working with Sightpath Medical over the past nine years. I am operating in a rural hospital, with skilled and knowledgeable technicians and using better equipment and instrumentation than what is available to me in metropolitan hospitals. Sightpath Medical is excellence in personnel and equipment."
— Martin J. Balish, M.D.

"I have worked with Sightpath Medical since 1995 on a mobile basis. The quality of the laser engineer, the microkeratome technician, and the IntraLase technician have been excellent. I can relax during surgery and enjoy what I am doing. We have had only one half day of down time from surgery operating 2-4 days a month over the last 12 years! The equipment is always upgraded appropriately; personal services are provided; plus the reasonable fees have dissuaded our practice from using a fixed laser.
"Having performed over 6,000 procedures on a mobile basis using a VISX Laser, Hansatome Microkeratome, and, now for the last five years, an IntraLase Laser, demonstrates there are no advantages to considering fixed laser options. In my opinion, no other company can supply better results, better pricing, or better support than Sightpath Medical.”
— Stephen A.D. Schuster, M.D.
Schuster Eye Center, El Paso, TX
"I have been using the mobile laser through Sightpath Medical for almost eight years in two separate markets. I am very pleased with the staff and the technology that they provide us. We can always count on their staff to be on time; they are always calm, very capable, and provide great customer service to my patients. The marketing programs that Sightpath provides have truly helped our LASIK procedure volumes grow as well as our co-managing doctors’ numbers."

"Our partnership with Sightpath Medical opened up a world of opportunity that would not have been available to us in our small community if we had purchased our own laser. We have not only benefited from having a laser and experienced technicians in our own office, but have used the Sightpath program to satellite our practice into neighboring communities and expand our services area. In addition, Sightpath has provided quality technical expertise and other support services which have been the key to the growth of our refractive practice."

"I’ve had a long term relationship with Sightpath Medical, spanning more than 10 years and two ambulatory facilities. I have had excellent, professional service and worked with a staff that offered 110% when it came to being part of a team. The effort they put into their work to please not only the physicians they service, but the staff that they help, is outstanding. Their knowledge has always been an asset to my staff by supplying education and support in the field of ophthalmology."

The Brecksville Surgery Center, Brecksville, OH
“The mobile IntraLase unit has allowed us to bring this exciting technology into our center with ease. Having used fixed IntraLase units in other locations, I was concerned that it may function differently. However, the results were the same as my fixed sites – ideal IntraLase flaps. Thank you Sightpath for allowing us to add IntraLase to our arsenal of LASIK technology options.”
— Daniel S. Conrad, M.D., MBA
"I wanted to let you know how happy our practice has been since using Sightpath Medical. In the past, we used another company that left me constantly wondering whether or not they would be able to come through for us. Several times we had to cancel surgeries because they did not have enough mobile units to cover our area if one broke down or if the engineer had an emergency. You can imagine our disappointment at having to reschedule patients at the last minute.
"Then, I heard about Sightpath Medical. Being a bigger company, I hoped you would deliver the support that was promised, but I was skeptical. As time passed, my confidence grew. You’re always willing to work with me on scheduling issues, and the surgery days that I wanted were granted. Rescheduling or cancellations have never been a problem. The laser engineers I have encountered have all been highly trained, always courteous, very professional and consistently on time.
"As an added value and the biggest surprise for me is the extra marketing support that has been given to us at absolutely no cost! Your expertise with database mailings and word of mouth referrals has been so helpful and appreciated. We also enjoy the Procedure Rewards benefit. Everything has been great. Keep up the good work!"

“As you know all too well, the stakes are high in the laser vision correction industry – no room for error. This includes the laser engineer who plays a critical role on the vision correction team, particularly when the laser is transported. Your staff is always punctual. Even when traveling long distances, they have gone beyond the call of duty to ensure that all scheduled surgeries are completed.”

"This program is a valuable, efficient way to acquire large capital items in an economical way during these very difficult times. Cataract surgery, like any surgery, is ever evolving, and the technical equipment necessary to perform this surgery is constantly improving. Sightpath has enabled our center to use top-of-the-line microscopes, phaco machines and flat screen monitors without jeopardizing any of our long-time relationships with vendors. More importantly, every single representative of Sightpath has been professional, pleasant and easy to work with. They really make you feel like they are there for you.”
