The spirit of giving back runs deep at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers.
Timeless wisdom from American industrialist Henry Ford: “To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.”
Community involvement – specifically giving and serving – has been at the heart of the culture at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers since it was founded in 1983. “It is humbling for us that while we strive to provide the best possible care to our patients, we are able to support our employees and their families,” said Dr. Anthony Evangelista. “Sadly, there are many who are not so fortunate. Individuals and families have fallen on hard times; either financially, physically and/or emotionally.”
From Plano and Dallas to across Arlington and Northeast Tarrant County, Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers has a strong history of partnering with local organizations to enrich lives in the communities they serve.
Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers has enjoyed phenomenal success since it opened its doors more than 30 years ago. Its reputation as a leader in the world of ophthalmology – specifically LASIK vision correction – is second to none. The team at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers is among the most experienced in the DFW metroplex, having performed thousands of procedures for satisfied patients around the country.
“So much of our success can be contributed to our wonderful and loyal patients and staff,” said Dr. Evangelista. “We have made it our mission to give back to the community that has supported us for so long. Since our guiding philosophy is to put patients first, it is our desire to get to know our patients well enough to learn what is important to them. It is our privilege to give back to so many community efforts and organizations that are near and dear to the hearts of our patients and staff.”
