Banker is Aces

Wet Macular Degeneration is my issue and Dr. Banker is my guy. Identified my issue and had the first treatment done before I knew what was going on. (Thanks Doc!) Extremely intelligent ...and while I know that’s not mandatory, it certainly makes you feel good to know your Dr. is on the cutting edge of his industry. Very personable as well. Each month he handles my eye injections ... and the man hasn’t missed yet. Nice shootin’ Doc.

Outstanding Care

My initial visit to the Center for Sight instilled a great deal of confidence in me. Linda, my first technician to examine me was probably the most thoughtful and thorough I ever had in my entire life. I've worn corrective lenses since my teen years and visited many eye exam facilities. Hands down, Linda is the best. My second visit I was introduced to Janice. Once again, she provided superb care to me, answered all my questions and gets an overall 5 stars. Dr. Malloy was super.
