hello,

I need cataract surgery and and Dr Anduze was recommended by a couple of friends. When I called his office I was told he had retired and the doctor now at the St Croix Eye Group is Dr Capriotti. Does anyone know anything about this doctor? Has anyone had surgery done by him?
I have lived on St John for over 20 years now and planned on coming to St Croix to Dr Anduze as some of my friends have but looks like that wont work. Any other eye doctor you can recommend?
My e-mail address is [email protected]

Dr. Ombres 718 4001 in Princess, just past Food Town and Dr Prassard's office. I use him and have confidence in him.

Dr Biscoe on STT removed a cataract for me last year; no problems at all.

I don't think Ombres is practicing anymore

Dr Keri Biscoe does not do cataract surgery but does do follow up exams. Hopefully Dr Byron will be coming to STX on occasion to do surgeries

Thanks so much everyone. I'm going to Florida in a couple of months for a little while. I'll see about getting it done when I'm there.
