Dr. Michelle Gay Sims, MD

I have ASD and PTSD. I needed to get cataract surgery and was extremely nervous. I explained to Dr. Sims that it is extremely hard to knock me out. She assured me that she would make the procedure as least painful as possible but I had my doubts. Even though I remained fully conscious for both eyes my pain level was a 1.5 out of 10 because Dr. Sims is that good of a surgeon and realizes every patient is different. Dr. Sims is highly compassionate and highly skilled. Between my 2 eyes being done she went on vacation but still called in to check on me. If your fear level is extremely high go to Dr. Sims. She kept me from having an autistic meltdown. My vision now is remarkable.

Caring and reassuring, based in empathy, based on expertise

Excellent care at every point. Cataract surgery resulting in 20/20 vision. Caring and capable attention from all. Recommend highly.

Caring, great doctor

Recently had cataract surgery by Dr. Sims and after the surgery I immediately noticed that my vision was not what it should be. After several visits and not getting the problem resolved, I sought a second opinion and found out that the IOL (intraocular lens) that was inserted in my eye was the wrong power. The new surgeon I sought found completely different readings from the readings that were collected from Dr. Sim's staff at Wheaton Eye Clinic. I had to get LASIK surgery to correct the poor vision in my eye that had resulted from Dr. Sim's surgery. I am completely satisfied with the result I obtained from my new surgeon, and I would not recommend Dr. Sims or Wheaton Eye Clinic to my friends and family.
