I am completely satisfied with my recent cataract removal procedure at Premiere Surgical Center. I have the utmost confidence and trust in my excellent doctor who performed my left eye cataract removal surgery, Dr. Craig Merrill, MD, Opthalmologist/Surgeon. I have been seen by him for many years, following up on possible glaucoma and diagnosing my Migraine with Aura. I am happy to say that I follow Dr. Merrill's orders to get more sleep as a Migraine with Aura remedy, with a total remission of my symptoms. A great cure for me that took effect quickly!

The surgery was an excellent experiance. The billing though, was not. They refused to honor their agreement with my insurance provider, charging me double what my insurance company said I owed as a co-payment. After 6 phone calls and then having my insurance company call them they agreed to the original terms and dropped the additional $35 charge. About 2 hours of time that I'll never get back.

Outstanding facility and Staff who cares about you. From the moment you arrive to getting prepped for surgery they have the friendliest staff to make you comfortable and answer any questions you may have prior to surgery. They take that edge off and you fee relaxed. Thank you Premier Surgery Center and may you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

I was referred by Shepard Eye Center to have my cataract surgery at Premier Surgery Center in Santa Maria. What a wonderful and positive experience I had at their surgery center. The entire staff was so professional, friendly and genuinely caring. I would like to commend the anesthesiologist for keeping me comfortable during the procedure. I highly recommend anyone having an outpatient surgery to consider Premier Surgery Center. The staff took excellent care of me and I am looking forward to having my other eye cataract surgery there. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed by their outstanding services that they provide. Thank you everyone at Premier Surgery Center for being there for me and all your patients, especially at this difficult time with the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe and well.
