"Kirk Eye Center and Dr. Scarpulla are the absolute best! On the advice of a friend’s recommendation, I sought help for my eyesight after unimpressive results from cataract surgery with an out-of-state ophthalmologist. Dr. Scarpulla restored my eyesight to 20/20 vision with a YAG procedure, painless and effective! I am so very grateful; colors are more vibrant and objects sharply delineated. Dr. Scarpulla is a gem—professional, kind, and knowledgeable. The nurses, receptionists, and surgical scheduler are all equally professional and compassionate. I am so very pleased with my results and recommend Kirk Eye Center—I give them TEN stars!!!"
