Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I think Dr. Pikey is excellent. He is good at explaining what is wrong with your eyes and how he will treat it. I see him every 6 months and have done well. He is willing to tackle another condition needing surgery and proceed only if he is sure of safety and success. I have utmost confidence in him. He is nearly on time without me having to waitfor my turn. He apologizes if I do have to wait. He is kind and thorough. His staff is friendly and supportive.

SABATES PAYMENT SYSTEM
DR. PIKEY IS CURRENTLY TREATING MY WIFE FOR CATARACTS. HE IS A REALLY COMPITENT OPTHAMOLOGIST WHO I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM. HOWEVER, THE PAYMENT SYSTEM THAT THEY HAVE SET UP IS A TOTAL DISASTER. THEY REQUIRE PRE-PAYMENT FOR CATARACT SURGERY, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN HAVING AN EXHAUSTING TIME TRYING TO PRE-PAY. IT SEEMS YOU CAN NOT PAY THE DOCTOR DIRECTLY, BUT HAVE TO PAY A THIRD-PARTY EPIC CENTER. THE WEEK PRIOR TO THE SURGERY WE GOT 4 CALLS IN ONE DAY FROM 4 DIFFERENT WOMEN FROM THIS EPIC CENTER REQUESTING PRE-PAYMENT. WE EXPLAINED THAT WE WERE TOLD WE COULD BRING A CHECK THE DAY OF THE SURGERY AND PAY. FOR THE SECOND EYE, WE AGAIN STARTED GETTING PHONE CALLS ABOUT PRE-PAYING. WE SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO AS BEFORE, THE DAY OF THE SYRGERY, BUT WERE TOLD WE COULD NOT DO THAT. EVENTUALLY WE GOT IT SORTED OUT AND MADE THE PRE-PAYMENT. IT IS THE ABSOLUTE DUMBEST PAYMENT SYSTEM EVER DEVISED BY MAN, AND SHOULD BE CHANGED.

Outstanding Cataract Surgery and Eye Care
Dr. Pikey has been our eye professional at Sabates Eye Center for many years and has always been outstanding. My wife and I both had Cataract Surgery. From pre surgery, to surgery to post surgery Dr. Pikey made the entire experience very comfortable as well as taking time to explain the entire procedure. The surgery was very quick and there have been no issues. I'm amazed how much my vision (after only a couple of weeks has improved), and the post op visits really demonstrate how much Dr. Pikey cares about our vision. I would highly recommend Dr. Pikey as well as the entire staff at Sabates Eye Care and Epic Surgery Center. Dr. Pikey gets our MVP award, he's the Patrick Mahomes of Eye Care...

Annual check up with Dr. Pikey
Sabates Eye Center is the best. Dr. Pikey is the best to me, my wife & my brother he removed cataracts from both my & brother's eyes and now we can still see perfect. The care and concern for us and our vision we get from Dr. Pikey is truly the best & he does care about us. So very glad we came to him, we tell everyone we can to come see Dr. Pikey. We appreciate everyone with Sabates.

Expert, Kind, Concerned
Clean, modern facility. Staff is cordial and efficient. Dr. Pikey is down to earth, friendly and demonstrates interest and concern. I feel confidence in his expertise. Most recently I had treatment for cataracts and my outcome has been very successful. I felt cared for and respected throughout the entire process.

I can write this because I can see, due to the excellent surgical skills of Dr. Pikey. He performed cataract surgery on both my eyes (not at the same time). I had basic surgery, non laser, and was anxious about his non laser skills as well as getting a more basic surgery (was the one insurance would cover in full). No cause for worry, he's amazing! He is serious, confident, and professional - what you do want from a surgeon. I found that Dr. Pikey listened to my questions and concerns. He's precise with information and provided availability to reach him after surgery, at any time if there was a need. There were no problems or concerns with this procedure because Dr. Pikey is clear, thorough and exceptional in his field.

Cataracts/Lens
Up front with options that are available for you personally as well as cost options. I had cataracts and decided on the adjustable lens. Had right eye done on July 1, 2022, Amazing to see the difference between the right eye and the left eye. Ready for July 8, 2022, for the left eye. The sky is blue not gray. I can see detail it's so crisp. (Not looking through fog)

Complicated Case with Great Success
Dr. Pikey performed my cataract surgery in January 2022. My surgery was complicated because I previously had Radial Keratotomy surgery and glaucoma. But Dr. Pikey assured me that I had a great chance of success. He was right. I did not have any problems and my eyes are now 20/25. I am very happy with the results. Thank you Dr. Pikey!

TRUST ENTIRELY
Dr.Pikey's approach is to delve into exactly what the underling problem is and not just get patient in and out. My son's issues are complicated and Dr.Pikey has persisted in diligently and professionally seeking the right surgical and eye drop applications to bring both remedy and relief. His honesty is forthright. We trust him impeccably.
