Who We Are

A small practice with a lot of experience

Dr. David Malitz has been in medicine since 1991 and practicing in Las Vegas since 2004. He performs every procedure himself — the same surgeon from your first consultation through your last follow-up. No hand-offs, no revolving door of doctors.

We’re not trying to be the biggest practice in town. We’re the one your optometrist recommends when a family member needs surgery.

“I was nervous about cataract surgery at 74. Dr. Malitz explained everything clearly, no rushing. I could see better that evening. I wish I hadn’t waited so long.”
