I was so pleased with the care and compassion I received. Everyone was very professional and kind. I highly recommend Physicians Eye Surgery Center.
I have been to this eye surgery center 3 times. You have one chance in three of having a good experience. The first time went well, a 20 minute wait and they took me back for the sedative and surgery with a good result. For the second surgery they took me back to the curtained area and the anesthesiologist spoke to me and after that I saw no one. After 2 1/2 hrs. they were closing up so my friend (and required driver, the only one left waiting) asked where I was. They came back and found me in the little curtained area and asked what I was doing. I said I was waiting for surgery. Since the doctor was still there they raced me in to the surgery room and just before the doctor started I said I did not have the sedative and the Doc said "you don't need it" Then they gave me the "sedative" just before they started. It was hurried and weird but I finally had a good result. The third time I was the first appt. of the afternoon taken back to a cold dark room. She dilated my eye and said "I'll tell the Dr. you are ready ". After 45 minutes of nothing, I got up and looked around and saw them. I stood at the door to get their attention. He finally started. It took several zaps from the laser and in less than 2 minutes I was done. The eye surgery center could definitely improve patient management, tracking, flow.
Excellent care and service by Dr Kerry Solomon & his entire staff! They are all very nice people and professional, and work well together. I was there 2 days in a row for cataract surgeries on both eyes. The surgery facility is very well run. I’m grateful to have had one of the best surgeons in the business. On a personal note, I’m also grateful to see better. It’s like as if someone finally washed the windows and I can see out of them.
Had excellent nursing care and surgery went fine. Going back next week to get the other eye done.Feeling a little off balance but I'm sure that will go away after the other cataract is removed and distance lens is put in. Great doctor and nursing team. They got it going on. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your eye needs.
Do you find yourself squinting to read food labels, menus or your phone? You may have presbyopia, or “aging eye.” As we age, the eye lens loses flexibility, and it becomes difficult to focus on close objects. There are many ways to treat presbyopia.
A recent study suggests that pandemic lockdown may have increased myopia, or nearsightedness, in school-aged children.
Many hospitals and healthcare facilities are delaying elective surgeries and procedures, but it’s important to remember your eye procedure may be essential for your vision and health.
From beginning to end the staff was perfect .They were very kind, and answered every question I had. I felt very calm . The truly are a blessing. Thank to all. Esther Miller.
