Our Culture

Our principle-centered team is passionate about people. And our higher mission is to be a positive influence on those around us. We believe in the Christian principles of love, kindness and compassion and strive to incorporate these in our patient care and the way we treat our staff.

Founded in 1985, Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute is made up of an exceptional group of physicians and warm, caring staff who bring a soft touch to the sophistication of eye surgery. Our organization compliments the skills of family eye doctors throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington. New surgery centers are only established on the invitation of community optometrists. With 17 office locations, we are blessed with 560 wonderful staff that provide top caliber care with special expertise in cataract surgery and laser vision correction. Visitors are treated as special guests and a comfortable, homelike atmosphere reassures patients and minimizes fear of surgery.

Our mission is to provide the best possible service to doctors who entrust patients to our care. And our utmost duty is to treat these patients as we would wish to be treated. Our belief is that the highest quality of care is achieved when doctors in different areas of expertise combine their skills. For patients to realize the full benefits of this type of cooperative care, relationships between the doctors involved must be built on a solid foundation of mutual trust and respect.
