Why us?
Our practice is 100% independent.
We are not owned by private equity. This allows us to deliver and tailor medical care for your needs. We take pride in providing a comfortable and personal interaction. You will become part of our small medical family, and not just a number in a large group practice.
Experienced care
Over the last two decades, Dr. Itharat has examined tens of thousands of eyes and has performed thousands of successful surgical procedures to restore vision. He personally performs the measurement exam prior to cataract surgery, making him one of few (perhaps only) local surgeons to do so.
Modern technology
Palmetto Eye Institute offers femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery and a wide array of intraocular lens to decrease your reliance on eyeglasses after surgery.
Dedicated staff
One of our greatest strengths is employing compassionate and friendly staff members to assist in your care. Our staff have been with our practice for many years, ensuring you will always see a familiar face when you visit us.
Accessible care
Our office accepts almost all medical insurances, including Medicare, Medicare replacement plans, Medicaid, and commercial plans. Please call our office to confirm that we are in network with your insurance as coverage may be subject to change.
Minimal wait times
Our office schedules efficiently to minimize waiting because we know your time is valuable. Moreover, we utilize a secure online registration to decrease time spent in our office.
Convenient care
We can perform many laser procedures in the office to offer extra convenience. Furthermore, these procedures are less expensive to perform in the office compared to a hospital or surgery center.
