Effective January 1, 2025, Arleo Eye Associates is now a part of Cayuga Health System. The practice, which has served the community for over 30 years, is transitioning to ensure continuous quality eye care for the community.
Dr. Robert Arleo started the practice in Ithaca, New York in 1994, and has since expanded an office to Auburn, New York. The practice is well-known for its commitment to the Finger Lakes Region and improving the well-being of patients through outstanding, personalized care.
“Arleo Eye Associates has become an integral part of the patient-centered health care provided in our region,” says Robert Arleo, M.D., founder of Arleo Eye Associates. “We are proud of our commitment to quality care in our community and strongly believe in Cayuga Health’s ability to continue the excellent, compassionate care that we have devoted ourselves to.”
Patients can expect minimal change as providers, phone numbers and fax numbers will remain the same.
“Cayuga Health is excited to work with the wonderful providers and staff at Arleo Eye Associates. They have a long-standing tradition of excellent, patient-centered, and collaborative care that we look forward to carrying forward in partnership with the Arleo team,” says Jeffrey Penoyer, Vice President of Ambulatory Services at Cayuga Health.
The partnership with Cayuga Health will enable Arleo Eye Associates to continue to provide comprehensive care to patients while maintaining the trust and compassion for which they are known.
what our patients are saying
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
