Best eye doctor and surgeon. He is caring and compassionate. He listens to your needs and is he very knowledgeable. I had cataract surgery on both eyes and happy with my results. He called me after each surgery and that meant a lot to me. What a great doctor. Thanks Dr. Pilavas . I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
