Patient Reviews
Jul 10, 2024
Everything from start to finish is great with Dr. Sabates and his team. From conversations overheard in the waiting room, people come from all over to be in his care. Both he and his staff have an excellent chair side manner. I have had a chronic disease for 52 years and Dr. Sabates is always very thorough with my eye care to make certain we stay on top of my vision. I believe I am blessed to have the best Opthamologist in Kansas City.
