Hope Eye Center

Founded in 2002, Hope Eye Center was established to address a critical need in the Valley for a premier eye care facility dedicated to exceptional patient care and cutting-edge technology. Our team includes fellowship-trained specialists in corneal refractive surgery and retinal diseases, with decades of combined experience in advanced ophthalmic procedures. Dr. Paul Petelin, a graduate of the University of Arizona and Emory Universitys prestigious ophthalmology program, pioneered blade-free LASIK in the region and remains a leader in vision correction innovation. Dr. Stanley Shorb, a retinal specialist with over 30 years of local practice, brings expertise in macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, complementing our comprehensive approach. We prioritize direct surgeon consultations, utilizing advanced diagnostics like wavefront mapping and corneal topography to tailor treatments.

Our practice has earned national recognition for progressive surgical techniques, including early adoption of IntraLase LASIK and dropless cataract surgery. Serving the Phoenix metro area, we maintain a commitment to accessibility by accepting most insurance plans and welcoming new patients. Our reputation for excellence is reflected in patient testimonials and peer recognition, including accolades from Phoenix Magazine. By integrating fellowship-level expertise with personalized care, we ensure patients receive the highest standards of ophthalmic treatment. This dedication to innovation and patient-centric service defines our mission to eliminate dependency on corrective lenses through procedures like premium lens implants.
