On 9/22/25 I had surgery on my left eye for some cataracts that I had been dealing with for close to a decade. I was pretty nervous about the procedure, understandably, but Dr. Belest inspired confidence when he answered my questions without hesitation and with as much detail as I wanted, prior to my appointment for the actual surgery. Then the surgery day came, and it was smoother and more streamlined than many regular Dr's appointments I've had over the years (which speaks to the care and professionalism demonstrated by his team as well). It was done and over with before I knew it, virtually painless (including recovery so far, and I dont see any reason for that to change). I dont leave a lot of Google reviews, but I was very impressed with Dr. Belest and his team. If you're needing any kind of work done to your eyes, I can not recommend them enough. Thank you Dr. Belest and team!

Highly recommend! Dr. Balest is very professional and caring. He removed both cataracts. Both surgeries were great.The entire staff was so pleasant.for pre-op and post-op. Directions for the drops were made easy as well as all communication.

My husband has been seen at Dr Balest's office twice with more visits to come. We've been very impressed, not only with Dr Balest but the entire staff for their professionalism, efficiency and friendliness. My husband avoids doctors but feels comfortable with this team. I'm a NP who manages several ambulatory clinics so am intentional about giving compliments when I see great work. Wish I could steal some of you! Extra shouts outs to Katie and Jary. We'll see you again in a few weeks. Thank you all!

Dr. Balest performed cataract surgeries on my eyes and I have just completed my post op visits and I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Balest was very thorough during each visit and explained thoroughly the process and what to expect. I now enjoy 20/20 vision without any prescription! Thank you, Dr. Balest, for restoring my vision! You are the very best in my eyes!!!! Ginette D.

Dr Balest is professional, kind, knowledgeable and has been available the few times I had to schedule urgent appointments. His staff possesses the same great qualities, and they all seem to have a great working relationship. I come from the medical field and can appreciate these qualities in those we charge with our health. Dr Balest is a great find.

I had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Balest and it has been a terrific experience. I appreciated the time he spent explaining to me what to expect during and after the procedures. My eyesight improved significantly within a day or two. I highly recommend Dr. Balest for you eye care.
