Great doc, great care

by kstark42 at Citysearch

The best money I have ever spent. Period. I could not have asked for a better experience or better results. It’s your eyes, trust me you will not regret it. If you are able to have lasik surgery do it.

I had heard great things about Dr. Boothe from friends who had the surgery and they were right.

• Pros: Great staff, great doctor & free consultations
• Cons: Lots of eye drops

Improved quality of life

by MAaron at Citysearch

Before I had surgery I could not see anything without my glasses. The day of the surgery I could already see without them and it just got better from there.

The surgery was virtually painless and short. It all went by very fast.

• Pros: fast, efficient, wonderful results

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
