Staff is very knowledgeable and courteous. Surgery was fast and painless. My questions were answered satisfactorily. I am anxious to get my second eye corrected.

I think it was very helpful to know how important it was to sleep after my surgery. I think that was the key to my success for not having much pain at all. I am not sure anything can prepare you for the discomfort of the eye clamps, or the fear when the suction takes a few attempts, but it helped how calm and reassuring Dr. Chotiner and everyone was. Thank you for my amazing vision.
