Your employees were very professional and caring about my situation. They did an outstanding job making me fell comfortable with the process. I was actually really amazed that the process only took about 30 seconds to correct my vision back to nearly perfect. I can’t that you enough.

This was the most positive surgery experience I’ve ever had. Everyone was friendly , delightful, and they all are very good at their tasks. I especially appreciated the surgeon praying before the surgery began! I highly recommend PCLI.

My experience was awesome in every way. Great Staff and Surgeon. Beautiful facility. I have better eye site than I thought I would have from having cataracts removed in both eyes. I can see clearly now. Thank you to all of your Staff. Most of all the prayers that we had just prior to both surgeries. God Richly Bless each and every one of you. Harold "Ric" Thompson

On December 29, 2025, I had my first appointment (VA referral) at the Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI) in Tacoma, Washington. The check-in process was straightforward, and the appointment began on time. Brooke, an optometry assistant, conducted an exceptionally thorough initial eye examination to help confirm the VA referral and assess how PCLI could best address my eye care needs. The results of this examination were subsequently reviewed by Dr. J. Bachman, an ophthalmologist and one of several highly qualified physicians on staff. At no point did I feel rushed. To the contrary, I felt as though I was the most important person in the clinic. My questions were answered clearly and thoughtfully, and I was given valuable, unbiased recommendations focused solely on improving my eye health. In my view, Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute in Tacoma is a well-managed facility that consistently places the patient’s best interests first. There was no attempt to upsell any specific optical product, technology, or procedure. The clear objective throughout my visit was to improve my visual acuity where possible—nothing more, nothing less. Based on this initial visit, I would highly recommend Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute in Tacoma to anyone seeking top-tier ophthalmology care in a calm, professional, and patient-centered environment.
