surgery was fine. went for new glasses but they did not make a difference whether I WAS WEARING THEM OR NOT. WENT BACK BUT DOCTOR WOULDN'T SEE ME, JUST SAW A TECHNICIAN WHO GAVE ME NEW PRESCRIPTION. I KEPT SAYING I DIDN'T NEED THEM FOR DISTANCE, JUST FOR READING. WENT TO GET PRESCRIPTION FILLED AND OPTOMOTRIST SUGGESTED JUST GETTING READING GLASSES, NOT THE -PRESCRIPTION SHE GAVE ME. wHY DID SHE NOT KNOW ENOUGH TO SUGGEST THIS? WHERE ARE THE DOCTORS OF YESTERDAY WHO DIDN'T LET THE PATIENT OUT OF THE OFFICE UNTIL SHE IS SATISFIED AND HAS QUESTIONS ANSWERED? DR ROSTLER IS CERTAINLY NOT A DOCTOR WHO CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS.
