Dr. Eugene Melvin Smith, MD

High pressure sales tactics that include pushing people to take loans in order to get same-day surgery. Much like gun ownership this is something that should have a waiting period. Don’t jump in to surgery with this guy as he is only a total of a medical corporation out to sell you high interest loans.

Dr. Smith gave me lasik 3 days ago, and I'm seeing better than I ever have in my life. I was -5.25 in both eyes, and now I'm seeing better than glasses or contacts ever allowed me to. I was super nervous going in, but Dr. Smith gave me a countdown during the process, and told me exactly what he was doing before he did it. Absolute professional.

They have a sales lady doctor giving the sales pitch telling you your eyes will be clear and better than ever. Says less than 1 percent chance of long lasting complications. Turns out that's untrue, there's a far greater chance. Do your research for any lasik surgery - drs tell you it's a low chance and put that out there but if you look for non-doctor lead information it paints a picture of the true amount of risk. I now must wear contacts to see almost as well as I did before lasik when I wore contacts. Was told by Dr. Smith's office I am the perfect candidate for the surgey. Had no astigmatism in eye and surgery caused it. Now I must wear a toric lens in order to see distance well like I could before. They also lie about outcomes - they marked me 20-15 vision when I told them I had a lot of glare and could not read the bottom line without guessing several times. So they wrote it was a success. 7 months later I still have issues with glare and starbursts and it really affects quality… of vision. It's not something you think about before the surgery, then when it happens you realize how bad it is.
