My Lasik Surgery

by kirkcurtis at Citysearch

Before doing my Lasik (5 months ago) I was researching different doctors and met with 3 of them in person. I decided to go with Dr. Boothe since his practice was the most professional one. I noticed that they are better organized than other doctors and have the newest laser machines (I wanted to make sure accuracy is maximized). On the day of the surgery, Dr. Boothe sensed that I'm a bit stressed, so we had a small conversation and he ensured I was OK before he started to use the laser. I felt safe - he has more experience than other lasik surgeons in Dallas. About an hour later I opened my eyes and was able to see all kinds of small details - what an awesome feeling! I forgot how beautiful the world can be. My eyesight is now 20/20, for the first time since I was a kid. Recommended!

Put at Ease

by RSWF at Citysearch

Dr. Boothe's demeanor help put me at ease for a procedure that I was extremely nervous about. Just the thought of someone doing any kind work on my eyes made me very squeamish. I was never able to put in contacts due to this so I always have worn glasses. His staff answered all my questions and was very reassuring during the surgery. I would recommend him to any one looking to have a good experience with their lasik procedure.

• Pros: Staff, Doctor

terrible result

by kcedwards at Citysearch

I would give 0 stars if the computer would let me! My husband and I both went to Dr. Boothe and has lasik completed in the year 2001. We asked about long-term results and were told by Dr. Boothe's staff that we "may need glasses in about 20 years to read." In just a few short years, neither one of us can see very well (even the television) and must wear contacts.

I contacted Dr. Boothe's office a few years ago (about 2005) and asked what could be done. I was told that we could come in and see if we could have the procedure re-done, but would still have to pay. Thanks a lot for nothing!

A total waste of money...about $6K. We also referred many of our friends shortly after the procedure but they are having the same results we are. Thanks for nothing Dr. Boothe.

• Cons: had to get contacts a few years after procedure

I highly recommend

by Jon R at Citysearch

I had a great experience all the way around. From the staff to the doctor to the surgery everything was great. All my questions were answered and the price was very good. I had my surgery with no problems at all and I now see 20/15.

• Pros: Staff, Doctor, Great Vision
• Cons: None

Absolutely life changing

by AJanes at Citysearch

I had my eye surgery, and absolutely love it. I think that is a surgery that you can SEE results from immediately and a short recovery period. I think it is absolutely life changing! I would do it all over again in a second. Dr Boothe has done a lot of them and he knows what he is doing. The speed and efficiency at which he performed my surgery showed this. The staff was great.

• Pros: Dr. Boothe, staff, price

Thank you Dr. Boothe!

by Sy2 at Citysearch

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boothe. His staff was very professional and accommodating. I was quite nervous about the surgery before my initial consultation, but Dr. Boothe and his team quickly put my nerves to rest. I was very surprised at how quick and easy the recovery was and my vision is now at 20/20. Dr. Boothe was very thorough and professional and I highly recommend him. I conducted a lot of research before choosing Dr. Boothe and I am very glad that I did since he was the right fit.

• Pros: No pain and quick recovery.
• Cons: None- I only wish that I had done it sooner.

Great Experience

by DPaula at Citysearch

Prior to visiting Dr. Boothe I had horrible vision. After my consulation I was highly impressed with the level of professionalism and the kind and reassuring team. I felt much more confident with proceeding with this risky surgery. Now my vision is 20/20 (and can even drive in the dark!) and I am eternally grateful to Dr. Boothe and his wonderful team for giving me a new outlook on life!

• Pros: Friendly & Attentative Staff, Professional Environment

Unbelievable results

by HeatherG74 at Citysearch

I was very nervous about getting my eyes fixed, but a lot of research and some time to calm my nerves I decided to move forward with the surgery. I absolutely regret waiting as long as I did. Everything was very straight forward and I had no pain or problems during or after the surgery. The staff was great and helpful. I can now see 20/15.

• Pros: Great staff, great service

Quite an experience

by LGSmith at Citysearch

Dr. Boothe redid ("enhanced') my procedure three or four times. Each event involved incredible waits. He once took a two-hour nap when I was there for a recheck. He berated employees in front of me. People don't work there long. His all-male surgery tech staff must have incredibly thick hides.

I have no complaint about the amount of face-time I had with Dr. Boothe. He is extremely thorough. Pre-op, his staff quoted me a price for the deluxe surgery. I told Dr. B. that I couldn't afford to pay that much. He reduced it by $1000.

He overbooks, schedules surgery at a designated time. and then gets to it five hours later, etc. Eacn followup appointment takes hours. Would I go there again? No.

• Pros: 20/50 vision instead of 50/50
• Cons: Incredible waiting times, bizarre personalities

Family recommended

by MarkE at Citysearch

My cousin had his surgery done here and was very happy with the experience and the results. I decided to go in for a consultation and was happy with the staff and their evaluation of my needs. I decided to move forward with the surgery. I was completely comfortable and never had an issue throughout and I now have 20/15 vision.

• Pros: Great vision, price, staff
• Cons: some wait times

This surgery has changed my life!

by bsmith572 at Citysearch

My contacts were starting to cause me a lot of problems and I dislike glasses so I decided to move forward with lasik surgery. From start to finish I felt that my concerns were addressed and I was very happy with the staff, the procedure and the results. I am now seeing 20/20.

• Pros: No more contacts, great vision
• Cons: several follow up visits
