I would recommend them to others.

But my husband suggested I try the strength recommended by Dr. Jani, 1.5, so I did. PERFECT!! I just cannot advise you strongly enough to utilize this outstanding doctor for eye surgeries.

Dr. Jani listened carefully, performed a thorough evaluation, and understood how much my vision affected my quality of life. As a Ph.D.-trained, licensed mental health professional with over 30 years of experience, I appreciate physicians who combine exceptional skill with genuine compassion. Dr. Jani does exactly that. From my first visit through both surgeries and every follow-up appointment, he answered every question, never rushed me, and inspired complete confidence. My night vision has improved dramatically, my starbursts are gone, and my quality of life is much better. I recommend Dr. Jani without reservation.

They encourage purchasing their eye glasses -- got it. However, if you wish to purchase your eye glasses elsewhere they retain your Pupillary Distance (PD) number (two-digit millimeter measurement) from your prescription and charge $35 for this information. Mind you, this process takes them no more than 2 minutes and is part of your appointment regardless. And this number is part of MY PRESCRIPTION. This would be like your primary care provider retaining the dosage from your prescribed medication if you do not purchase from their pharmacy and charging you outside of your insurance coverage as an extra fee. This should be illegal or something. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!

Although I still think Dr. Hudson is fantastic and my cataract surgery was successful, here is some…read moregenuine advice, based on my experience: 1) Arrive on time for your appt but be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes, up to 45-60 minutes. My experience: 30-60 minute wait times for all 8 of my appts. 2) Read your portal appt notes to make sure you and the doctor have the same understanding of what transpired at your appt. My experience: A staff member put care instructions in my chart notes that she never discussed with me and I only found out by looking at the notes in the portal. After calling the office repeatedly, requesting a phone call from her to explain, she finally did. 3) Read and understand the schedule and dosage of your eyedrops for pre and post surgery right when they are handed to you. My experience: The instructions, schedule, and dosage went seamlessly with my 1st eye surgery. However, for my 2nd, I was handed instructions with different schedules and dosages. I didn't realize this for a few days and by then I was out of the country. I made a command decision to follow the same schedule and dosage as I had done with my first eye. I reported this to a technician at a follow-up appt and was told the office manager would call me about this and some of my questions/frustrations...I never got a call. Additionally, the surgeon later told me the surgical center also hands out eyedrops instructions but patients should follow the ones they receive from SEIHT. I only got one set AND it was from SEIHT AND I was never told I might receive a separate set of instructions from the surgery center. 4) Don't buy lots of reading glasses until your eyes are completely healed after cataract surgery and a doctor tells you what reading glass strength you need. My experience: One tech told me I would need the +2.50 diopters; at a later appt another one told me I needed +2.75 (after I'd already purchased multiple pairs of the +2.50). 5) Make sure you know how many appts you will need through the whole process and what is supposed to be accomplished at each one. My experience: I went to what I thought was my last appt where we discussed the surgery, my unhappiness about near-vision loss, and my need for near-vision correction options. However, I was told I needed another appt so I believed that was going to be my "final post op" appt where I would be presented with near-vision correction options. Not so. I was set up with the surgeon who performed my surgery only to rehash everything from the last appt. This could have been handled in a phone call. 6) The most important thing: BEFORE you select a specific type of cataract surgery, make sure ALL of the options, whether they are performed by these surgeons at this practice or not, whether they are covered by insurance or not, are explained to you in a clear, concise manner AND MAKE SURE you hear and understand the PROBABLE outcomes of each. My experience: I met with a tech for the eye exam and cataract surgery discussion. She immediately marked me as a standard IOL patient when I stated I only wanted what was covered by insurance BUT I did want to know the cost, etc. of the other options (thinking I might reconsider if it was affordable). By the time we finished the exam and consult, we never did discuss the other options and I was being ushered out to schedule an appt with the surgeon. I was later told by another tech ALL techs are supposed to fully explain ALL cataract services offered (whether or not you only want insurance-covered surgery) so you understand exactly what your options are. Anyway, when I met with the surgeon, I didn't know any better and didn't feel I had the luxury of time to further explore other options so I was on the standard IOL train. Reading back in my portal appt notes I see there were brief mentions of other surgeries in the Instructions Section (I was told at my last appt that section is basically standard verbiage that is inserted and the part to pay attention to (i.e., make sure you read and understand) is the section titled Assessment. So...my unhappiness with the outcome was not the cataract fix or Dr. Hudson, and I take some responsibility for things (which is why I am taking the time to write this review so you will have the benefit of my experience) but I feel I received conflicting projected outcomes regarding my sight and I guess I didn't hear I would totally lose my near vision capabilities, I just read it in the appt notes after the fact. Instructions Excerpts: "hope that the patient would have better distance and near vision after cataract surgery; still might need glasses for some activities; improved vision at distance and near (although this may still require glasses); may still need glasses for their best vision after surgery." Assessment Excerpts: "will required full time glasses for all distances after cataract surgery with the standard IOL...will lose near vision capabilities without readers after cataract surgery."

*** This review is one star for the telephone system, not the doctors ***…read more I'm a regular patient here for many years. The telephone service system does this to you if you call near lunchtime: 1. It accepts your call and puts you in queue and tells you're customer number five or whatever. Then you're on hold (in my case today, for twenty minutes) with the same constant repeating message that they'll be right with you and that you're such an important patient. Then, after 20 minutes, it goes dead. 2. You call back after 12 PM, only to get a recording saying that they're closed for lunch and to call back after 1 PM. 3. In my opinion, that is not customer-oriented. People have important reasons to be calling a doctor's office. The whole front desk does not need to close down for an hour to eat lunch. Front Desk people can stagger lunches so that someone is always available to take a call. Person A takes lunch from 11:30 to 12:30. Person B covers phone from 12 PM to 12:30 and then takes lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 and Person A covers phone from 12:30 PM to 1 PM. Easy as that. Why have both of them go to lunch at the same time? 4. The telephone system should tell people that they are not continuing to hold as it's now 12 PM and the office is at lunch if they are going to continue this inane practice. 5. Although the doctors here are very good - nothing against them -- I will not be recommending this practice for its outdated and inept telephone system.
