Sigh. I'm only giving 1 star because my father's eye surgery was botched and recovery diagnosis ended up making my father blind. This changed my father's life from being independent one day to co-dependent for help. And changed our whole family's life to be caregivers. One day my dad could drive ... the next - NOT! I keep hearing this was the rare and first time this had happened with Oakman... What I've learned after the fact is only Because of this experience, we should have gotten a 2nd and even 3rd opinion from different surgeons on draining the blood filled eye...but was never told to go get that as option, as some self assuredness kept coming from the doc... wrong - go get a 2nd opinion! This, the optic nerve died. Yes, it's all hind sight now. I'm sure he's a good dr. overall ... just not that day for my dad... sad... You may not like my review and I'm sure he's great. Just more careful in future now, I'm sure.

Dr. Oakman has been successfully treating me and my family for 20 years…read more Just like real quality "Made in America" products, Dr. Oakman is one of the few high quality, high caring, "Made in America" doctors that are still available to serve patients. Dr. Oakman saved me from blindness in my left eye and he has helped thousands of others save their sight through his skillful surgical skills, and careful and caring methodology. Just a few examples of his service: 1. When we had a serious financial reversal and lost almost everything, including our insurance, Dr. Oakman continued to serve us as he always had before, adjusting prices, giving low-cost treatment, helping us figure out how to reduce costs in a variety of ways, and giving us samples to keep us going until we were back on our feet. Not only did he never complain, but on the contrary, he was always happy to see us and help us through whatever eye issue we had at the time. 2. It is common for Dr. Oakman to go to foreign countries at his expense to help people who could never afford any kind of medical service. He takes hundreds of pairs of glasses and helps people see that would never be able to without his help and care. He also provides a variety of eye clinics for these same people. There are literally thousands of people throughout the world that would not be able to see if it were not for Dr. Oakman's kindness, generosity and skill. 3. During the time of my financial duress, I was in an automobile accident that caused my left eye to to filled with glass shards. We were living in a different city, when my wife called Dr. Oakman and asked what we should do. He immediately told my wife to get me in the car and drive to Augusta and when we arrived he would see what he could do. While we were headed to his office, he set up an operating room in the basement with all the instruments and medicines that would be necessary. Once we arrived, Dr. Oakman carefully, gently, methodically removed every single piece of glass. He made sure that I constantly had enough liquid numbing medication to prevent me from ever feeling any pain at all from the lengthy surgery. After the main surgery and glass removal, Dr. Oakman insisted that we stay at his office until I was completely comfortable and he was absolutely sure that every single piece of glass had been removed to my his and my satisfaction. My post op treatment was excellent, with Dr. Oakman following up regularly with advice and help where needed. This was quite a traumatic experience for me and my family, but Dr. Oakman saved my eye and my eyesight is actually better in the eye that he repaired than in the healthy eye. Except for very occasional night driving glasses, my vision is still quite good as I approach AARP membership! It is very likely that I would have lost my left eye had it not been for Dr. Oakman's skill and help. You can feel confident that you will receive the best care possible from Dr. Oakman.

When I finally did go through with the first visit, I was surprised that there was no pain involved. The actual injection literally takes about three seconds. After the first visit, the intimidation was completely gone. Hopefully, this puts your mind at ease if you're about to begin the same treatment. I had multiple visits, each lasting about an hour which included several eye exams before the actual treatment. I went to the Riverwatch location and did not experience any longer than expected delays. Although they don't recommend it, I was able to drive myself home after each visit with the help of some really dark sunglasses. I'm not sure if my vision has improved much, but I can say that it hasn't gotten any worse. So, I feel the treatment helps.
