Finally did it!

by CoachMatt03 at Citysearch

I have always worn glasses.

I could never wear contacts, since the idea of touching my eyes makes me shudder... even simply talking about eyes makes mine water, so actual eye surgery seemed out of the question.

But my wife talked me into going, and I have to say, I never thought it would be this easy.

Dr Boothe was my first choice, basically becasue he has done more than any other Dr, and I figured that pure experience was the most important thing. for one, if anything out of the ordinary comes up, he would probably have seen it before, and THAT many people cant be wrong.

There were a lot of other patients there, but not so many that I felt like just a number. In fact, he sensed that I was nervous right before the procedure, and took time to talk to me, and reassure me. Plus, I think the greater volume means he can charge less per person.

I am very glad I had the procedure done, its much faster than I thought it would be, and I can see 20/20 now!

• Pros: No more glasses!

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

I can see!

by Michelle182 at Citysearch

I had my reservations about intralasik surgery but I'm so glad I just did this. In fact, I just tossed out my remaining contact lenses and it felt sooo good!

I really am suprised that there's no pain at all. They said I would feel "pressure" on my eye during the procedure but I really didn't feel much at all.

The doctor was very professional and answered all my questions even during the procedure. The surgery itself goes by really fast but there is a wait prior to the surgery, like about an hour. They told me it would be like that so I brought a book with me.

I was sure to carefully follow the instructions after the procedure and never had any issues. I think if you don't follow the post-op directions you might have problems...but that you're fault! Don't be scared of this procedure! Like me, you'll be glad you did it!

• Pros: Professional, quick procedure, no pain
• Cons: Long wait for surgery, but to be expected

My vision was very bad

by Puckett112 at Citysearch

After visiting the other surgeons in the area, I felt that after meeting with Dr Boothe that he was the best fit for my surgery. I had my surgery done and I have not had any problems at all. Everything went very well, my new vision is wonderful and this has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself in my life.
