Thomas Eye Group Bringing the World in Focus, One Patients at a Time By Cyndi Braun It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. If so, thats all the more reason to pay attention to eye health. When your vision is fuzzy, its time to bring your world in focus. Whether you need routine eye care or have a more serious vision problem, Thomas Eye Care can help. Founded in 1974, this full-service eye care provider has locations throughout Atlanta including an office on Alpharetta Highway in Roswell. The Roswell office provides eye care for the whole family, specializing in pediatric ophthalmology, cataract surgery, LASIK, vitreoretinal diseases and surgery, glaucoma, cornea, oculoplastic surgery and cosmetic services. In addition, the group is committed to patient care, starting at the front desk and continuing through examinations and any necessary procedures. I am always impressed with Thomas Eye Group and how professionally they run their business. From check-in to final check-out, the service is great, said patient Elliott Dahle. The Roswell doctors include: Larry Heit, M.D.; Stuart Newman, M.D.; Stephen Lipsky, M.D.; David Sackel, M.D. and Nhora Abril, O.D. Larry Heit, M.D., is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in cataract and refractive surgery. He has successfully performed more than 10,000 cataract and refractive surgical procedures in his career. When we perform cataract surgery, we are able to change the whole focus of the eye, so its functional without glasses, said Dr. Heit. I enjoy performing surgery. Its very rewarding to do a procedure, get a great result and have the patient experience a remarkable improvement in their vision. Stuart Newman, M.D., is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in dry eye and comprehensive medical care of the eye. Dr. Newman is celebrating his 29th year at Thomas Eye Group. I have a special interest in dry eye because I have dry eyes myself. Dry eye affects vision and comfort and gets progressively worse if you dont address it. And dry eye is no longer something only older people suffer from, said Dr. Newman, adding that he performs diagnostic screening, so treatments are tailored to the specific type of dry eye the patient is experiencing. Stephen Lipsky, M.D., is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. Dr. Lipsky treats eye misalignment, tear-duct obstruction, eyelid abnormalities, cataracts and glaucoma. He also performs routine eye care including glasses and contact lenses. One of the most important things when meeting a child is to remember to address the child with a smile. Children pick up on subtle cues, said Dr. Lipsky. Parents are often more apprehensive than the children. If they give us an opportunity to work with their child, theyll find that the child has a great experience here. Patients and their parents respond well to Dr. Lipskys approach. Thomas Eye Group has been my childrens eye provider for eight-to- nine years. We have always enjoyed the professionalism and kindness shown over the years. My daughters have always had a great experience with Dr. Lipsky and his staff, said Lynelle Perry. David Sackel, M.D., is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in cornea, cataract and refractive surgery. He treats patients with a wide variety of corneal pathology including corneal infections, ectasias and dystrophies as well as dry eye disease and cataracts. The ability to transform patients lives by allowing them to regain vision via corneal transplantation and/or cataract and refractive surgery is truly a rewarding experience, said Dr. Sackel. I am humbled each and every day to have the opportunity to interact with patients in order to help meaningfully improve their vision. Nhora Abril, O.D., is a board-licensed, bilingual optometrist, born in Colombia and trained in Pennsylvania. She assists people of all ages including a growing number of Spanish-speaking patients. From the front desk, to the technicians, to the doctors we work together as a team, said Dr. Abril. I enjoy meeting patients and getting to know them. I like helping people see, especially children who have no idea they need glasses and dont know what the world is supposed to look like until they get their first glasses. I also get great professional satisfaction from assisting those who communicate in Spanish. Thomas Eye Group has established a strong reputation for highly experienced doctors, state-of-the art facilities, commitment to procuring leading-edge surgical and diagnostic equipment and delivering superior, quality patient experiences and results. With a mission to improve the quality of peoples lives by compassionately providing a lifetime of outstanding eye care, its no surprise that Thomas Eye Group has been awarded the Consumers Choice Award for ten consecutive years.
