Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss among adults age 60 or older and have become increasingly common as our population ages and lives longer. Treatment requires a quick, minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove your cloudy lens and replace it with a new lens implant. Modern cataract surgery has evolved rapidly over the past few years.

Dr. Busack is an excellent surgeon. And his bedside manner is extraordinarily nice. Nothing but good things can I say about the doctor.
But I will move on to a staff. For the past month my eye doctor and myself have been attempting to get his notes from the surgery so I can have an appointment with my eye doctor to get my glasses. His staff has either not known what I am talking about or have said they would send that information. It’s been a month I don’t know where the breakdown is. It’s either with his staff or with my Eye Doctor. But I am really quite sure it’s his staff.
It’s too

Dr. Busack is a highly acclaimed eye-doctor, surgeon who is also very professional, disciplined gentleman with a friendly smile. I am fortunate to have Dr.Busack treating me for increased ocular pressure, diagnosis, continous monitoring, treatment and surgery. His deft and steady hand at surgery on my right eye was acclaimed by my retina-specialist friend as one of the best he has come across. Dr. Busack's office technical and administrative staff are equally professional attentive support to him and a friendly lot for us. I feel happy and secure with this best eye-care.

I have to have contact surgery. I have to admit I was a little bit nervous. The staff did everything to put me at ease. Dr Busack was very gentle and caring during my exam. The visit was very pleasant and I was happy I had chosen Dr Busack

I called for an appointment for an eye injury. I was told by ER to have checked after a week. I did not expect to get in right away. They gave me an appointment the next day! They were friendly and very easy to work with. I saw Dr Holland, he took the time to listen to me and answered all my questions. I will definitely go there again. This was my first time going there. My cousin had gone there for years , she always spoke very highly of them. Now that I have been there I understand why she liked going there!

There is not a rating high enough to truly do these wonderful folks justice. I have NEVER had a better experience ( from either a medical or professional standpoint). My vision had become intolerably bad and honestly it scared me. Dr Busack (and his staff) exudes confidence AND COMPETENCE and that immediately quelled my fears. He told me he could fix me up and he DID!! My sight is better now than I can ever remember or had dreamed was possible again. If this all sounds too good to be true IT IS NOT. I am a real live patient that has received NO coaxing. This is from the heart!!

The entire office is effecient and kind. I was especially touched by one medical assistant who kindly took the time to assist an elderly couple that had come to the wrong office. She even called ahead to the correct office to let them know the couple was on their way. STELLAR

From the front to the back it is one of the most efficiently run offices I’ve been to. Everyone was very knowledgeable and explained in detail every test they did on my eyes. I saw Dr. Holland and I can’t say enough nice things about him. I would recommend the Center to everyone. Thank you.

There are very few doctors around these days like Dr Busack. He lets you know options in my case about cataracts and you make the decision. He is very forthright and his manners during the procedure allow no fear. The staff working with him in his office and at the surgical center are superb and this is a direct reflection of who he is. I am so glad I decided for Dr. Busack to do this.

So far so good. Surgery scheduled for 6/24. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Came through the right eye surgery. Doctor Busack was great. Patient and made me feel comfortable all through the procedure. Uncomfortable on the day of the surgery and the day after but after that I was fine. My sight is unbelievable! Colors are brilliant! Can’t wait to get the left one done!

I can only comment on the office staff at this point, however the level of incompetency was of great concern. Early in the AM, my PCP contacted their office directly to see if they could take me in that day, as I had a foreign object in my eye and was in quite a bit of discomfort. My doctor clearly stated to the office person, not once, not twice, but three times, the insurance that I carried. As appointment was made for later that afternoon. When I arrived the waiting room was packed and the check in procedure moved at a glacial pace. I was handed the usual multi-page forms to fill out and
