CARL F. CLAVENNA, M.D.

“Our ability to see is one of the greatest gifts we’ve been given. As a doctor, the opportunity to change the lives of people who have been dependent on glasses or contact lenses provides me and my staff with a great sense of satisfaction. It’s a pleasure to see the joy on my patient's faces each day. I speak from personal experience, as well, having undergone vision correction surgery myself, which has given me a great sense of freedom.”
