Why Patients Say We Are the Best Ophthalmologists in Texas

January 30, 2024 . 5 min read

At the Eye Center of Texas, our dedication to providing exceptional eye care has earned us not just a reputation for having some of the best ophthalmologists in Texas, but more importantly, for having the trust and loyalty of our patients.

In reviews and testimonials, patients continually affirm our status as some of the best in the field. But what exactly makes us stand out? The reasons are manifold: from our cutting-edge technology and highly skilled team of doctors to our commitment to personalized patient care at every Eye Center of Texas location.

Here is why patients say they prefer seeing our ophthalmologists.

1. Our medical staff is friendly and highly skilled.

If you scroll through our surgeon’s bios, you’ll see that our medical team is made up of some of the best ophthalmologists Texas has to offer. Our doctors have undergone rigorous training in their field, and many have specialized in specific areas such as cataract surgery, LASIK, glaucoma treatment, and more.

Dr. Mayo has been repeatedly recognized as a top doctor in Houston and was one of the first to offer bladeless cataract surgery.
Dr. Wade is recognized as one of the top 100 LASIK surgeons in America.
Dr. Stewart was previously the director of UCSF’s Ocular Oncology Service, one of the premier ocular oncology practices in the nation.
Dr. Bell has been recognized as a Top Ophthalmologist in Houston by the International Association of Ophthalmologists.
Dr. Ahmed spearheaded the cornea surgical specialty in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area and is a well-published thought leader, with 25+ publications and presentations covering topics ranging from cataract surgery to virtual surgery simulators.

Moreover, our medical staff is known for their friendly demeanor and compassionate nature towards patients.

“I want to write this review to share insight of another eye care provider who was treated here as a patient myself. I am an optometrist who works completely independently of this clinic’s primary eye care practice. I must say that Eye Center of Texas doctors, technicians, and especially Dr. Wade himself are some of the most caring, attentive, and skilled providers I have ever met and had hoped to have as my care team.”

2. We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology.

At the Eye Center of Texas, we understand the importance of using advanced technology in eye care. We invest in state-of-the-art equipment and technology to diagnose and treat various eye conditions with precision and accuracy. Our ophthalmologists are trained to use these tools effectively, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible treatment.

The cutting-edge technology at our disposal not only helps us in diagnosing and treating conditions more effectively but also improves the overall patient experience by making procedures less invasive and more comfortable.

Whether you’re coming to see us for LASIK eye surgery or need cataract surgery, our ophthalmologists are constantly staying up-to-date on new advancements in the field, ensuring that we continue to offer the best and most advanced care possible.

“Just a totally awesome medical and customer service experience. From the first contact to the post-operative follow-up just a very professional, courteous, efficient, caring, and fully briefed surgical experience.

I had cataracts with a significant amount of stigmatism removed from both eyes and elected to have lens implants. And am I ever glad I did. Dr. Wade and his staff had me fully apprised of the process, the timing, and the anticipated results.

Not surprisingly the results are absolutely amazing! Colors are more vibrant, depth perception is much sharper, and there were no leftover issues. I can see better now than I could 55 years ago. I do highly recommend Dr. Wade and his excellent staff to anyone considering addressing their sight issues through a surgical procedure.”

3. We are committed to personalized patient care.

Personalized patient care lies at the heart of our practice as we understand that each patient is unique, with individual needs and concerns. We, therefore, strive to offer individualized care that addresses each patient’s specific condition, lifestyle, and vision goals.

From the moment you walk into any of our locations, our staff takes the time to understand your eye health history, current vision challenges, and any anxieties you may have about potential treatments. Are you experiencing blurred vision? Are you worried about discomfort during your procedure? Knowing more about you enables us to tailor a treatment plan that is not just medically sound, but one that aligns with your comfort levels and personal expectations.

In addition, our ophthalmologists are readily available to answer any questions big or small, and to explain treatment options in clear, understandable language.
“What a great experience! I was so nervous about going to get my eyes checked after noticing a dramatic change in my vision. Dr. Bachman had a great way of explaining everything (after answering ALL of my questions) that made me feel at ease. I was in and out of the appointment within 30 minutes and had a solution to my vision problems. I am so grateful to Dr. Bachman and will return to Eye Center of Texas for any new and continuing issues. THANK YOU!”

4. We take the time to listen and understand our patients’ needs.

One of the most crucial aspects of quality healthcare is empathetic listening. Particularly in eye care, where treatment plans often need to be highly customized to suit the individual needs of each patient, the practice of taking the time to thoroughly understand patient concerns, fears, expectations, and individual lifestyle factors can make all the difference.

At Eye Center of Texas, we practice empathetic listening. Our medical staff prides itself on its approachability and openness, ensuring that every patient is heard, understood, and valued. We recognize that people often have anxieties and queries related to eye surgeries and treatments, and we consider it our responsibility to address these by providing comprehensive and easy-to-understand explanations of the available options.

“I rarely write reviews. However, I found the patient care from Dr. Bachman and her staff to be OUTSTANDING! I’ve been suffering from chronic conjunctivitis and persistent dry eye.

I’ve been to countless eye doctors in the greater Houston area. Dr. Bachman was the first doctor I’ve had that treated me with the utmost care. She immediately addressed the conjunctivitis and provided me with a long-term solution for my dry eye.

I wish I could give more than just 5 stars because that’s what this doctor and her staff deserve. They’ve improved my vision and my everyday quality of life, and I am now able to wear my contacts daily and spend time with my family without my eyes being so uncomfortable.

I will be recommending Dr. Bachman to all of my friends and family! Truly, the best eye care doctor I’ve been to. Thank you Dr. Bachman and staff for being so great at taking care of your patients!”
