Patient Reviews
Jul 25, 2025
Use this Surgeon at your own risk. His claimed to fame is performing a seven minute cataract. Perhaps if he had spent a bit more time on my procedure, he would not have miscalculated my lens by a full diopter. After the suggested healing time, I called to get an appointment to see why I could not read without correction. His office would not give me an appointment and suggested that I go see my optometrist, who said, “What cha got is what cha got.” Again, his office refused to give me an appointment. I met with another surgeon that said the lens could not be replaced safely. Lasik was available at great expense to fix the problem
