Weird name, great pediatric practice. Don't be fooled by the off-putting title with cold,…read moreimpersonal connotations. PDC has provided great care for all 4 of our children since they joined the world. Our kids love Dr. Leidel. She's thorough yet efficient, light-hearted, knowledgeable without being pushy, and always wears a reassuring smile no matter the situation. Dr. Leidel is also a master of engaging children and parents equally, specifically interacting with kiddos at their age appropriate level of understanding. Some front office turnover (for the better) and some Dr/Nurses retiring. We were HUGE fans of Nurse Millie. Before she retired, she greeted and treated us like family; always remembered about our youngest daughter's skin sensitivity to alcohol prep pads, making her own special diluted concoction. At today's visit, we met Nurse Lisa who was kind, quick and delivered shots like a pro; got two smiling thumbs up from our oldest son who said "that's it, that's all? That was nothing." Practice location recently relocated from a stand-alone building on Center Dr to an office space in a shared generic facility. I understand cost cutting measures but not when said facility looks like a drab setting for a slasher movie. Move optics look superficially bad but, thankfully, the approach to patient centered care remained constant. Moreover, the PDC suite is renovated in staunch contrast to main throughways. Ample parking.

My sons have been seeing Dr. Velazquez since they were born. They are now 13 and 15 and we…read morewouldn't dream of changing doctors. She genuinely cares about my children. She goes the extra mile to ensure they are as healthy as possible. She talks to them about their lives and has become like a family member to us. On the rare occasion we have had to see another doctor in the practice, we were not disappointed. You cannot go wrong at this practice. We highly recommend Dr. Velazquez (and the other doctors at PDC) to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate doctor they can trust to give their children the best care available!

It is located on Corporate Blvd. and the road connects with Military Highway and Curlew Rd (which is the road that the light rail follows). The final visit was on June 2, 2026. When coming up to the place at first, it was hard to find the entrance as the GPS was giving the wrong way to get there, but we did eventually make it. There was plenty of parking available, including quite a few handicap spaces too. The building isn't hard to find when you see the CVP Surgery Center sign. When you come inside, the place was very clean and well maintained. It was nice and bright too, so it was an overall great atmosphere to be in. They do tend to get busy, so at times, the seating can become limited, as I experienced that on the June 2, 2026 surgery mom had (it was a later arrival time than the first one). I was curious as to what the CVP stood for. The prior name was Virginia Eye Consultants. CVP stands for CEI Vision Partners, which was originally connected with the Cincinnati Eye Institute. The company name now is Eyecare Partners LLC. My mom was the one to have the cataract surgeries in both eyes. The right eye was done on May 5, 2026, and the left eye was done on June 5, 2026 by Dr. Scoper. The scheduled time for the first surgery was to be there at 6:15 am when they open the doors (doors open at 6:10 am). The process outlined next is the same each time you come in. You go to the counter after entering and sign in with your name and who is doing the surgery. After that, you remain in the waiting room until you get called to one of the intake booths. They go over everything that you would have already gotten from the first encounter at their other facility nearby. Of course there were signatures needed and such. Once all of that was done, it was time to wait again in the waiting room. One of the staff will come out and call the patient by name to come with them to go back for pre-surgery prep. The driver that is with the patient doesn't go with them. Instead, they get called back separately once they are set up on the monitors and such. Once they were ready to take her back for the surgery, I had to go back to the waiting room until it was done. In both instances, it was much quicker than I thought it would be. In both cases, it was less than an hour (closer to 30-45 min max). They call you back when it's done. Once everything is settled, they brought her out on a wheelchair to the car due to the waning effects of the anesthesia during the process. After the first week of each of the surgeries, mom did have a few blurs and such, but everything that happened, was noted as possible temporary post-op symptoms. After a few weeks done from each eye, everything stabilized and has been normal since. The great part is that she doesn't have to use glasses for the most part now except when reading up close. Overall, this part of the process was great. The staff were very friendly and answered any questions that we had before and after each surgery. They also do a telehealth call the day after to follow up on how the surgery went and what symptoms or issues you might have. If I need cataract surgery in the future, I would definitely look into having it done at this business.

I was less than enthusiastic about having my cataracts taken out. But I knew it was time to do it…read more Dr. Scoper greeted me with such kindness and explained EVERYTHING and gave me my options with the possible results with each lense choice. On the day of surgery, I was so impressed with the facility and the staff. Great parking lot, wonderful staff members greeted us and their smiles eased my nervousness. The staff is top-notch and they know their stuff. I was taken back right on time. I could not take pictures of the operating room but it looked like a cool sci-fi novel cover. The technology that they have is crazy futuristic. CVP Surgery is the place to get any eye surgery, they spent some serious dollars obtaining the latest technology available. Anyhoo, the surgery went so fast that I felt like I had barely sat down when a hand on my shoulder told me everything went very well. The difference is literally fog vs clear skies. I can read without readers now. My prescription changed for the better in a very dramatic way. Dr. Scoper is an amazing surgeon and his staff are the best of the best. I believe that God led me to him for this miraculous change in my sight. Ask for Dr. Scoper and be blessed! Thank you Dr. Salib for referring me to your colleague. Awesome team!
