On leaving your office yesterday I was hit with an additional $40.00 charge. I was told they performed a procedure that was not covered by my insurance. I don’t recall being charged last visit for the same procedure. I’ve been bugged by that outlay ever since. I did learn one thing; the next Ophthalmologist I frequent will level with me up front.

I had a difficult cataract and needed lens replacement with the complication of prior lasik surgery. Dr Tatge absolutely nailed 20/20 vision. He is very skilled and professional.

Dr. Tatge botched my surgery and offered only to refer me to a doctor that could fix it.
