My experience with Dr. Gulani (TLDR version: Did not help my vision, dishonest, all hype, STEER…read moreCLEAR!) I try to avoid writing negative reviews, but I feel that the Gulani "hype" needs to be exposed to help save others from falling for it like I did. My history before visiting Dr. Gulani: I got RK in the '90s, 16 cuts in each eye. Left eye not so bad (20/30). Right eye was worse (20/50); I had been wearing a scleral lens for the last 10 years. It was great (easily 20/20) but as I got older, it was no longer correcting my vision enough, so I wanted to visit Dr. Gulani with the goal of not having to wear contacts or reading glasses. During the consultation, he promised me, "you'll be able to read and see far without glasses or lenses." I got the LaZrPlastique in the right eye in January 2026. My biggest worry was that it wouldn't correct my vision enough and I'd still need to get a new scleral to see clearly. Wow, was I wrong on multiple fronts. First off, my vision actually GOT WORSE after Dr. Gulani's surgery (20/100). If you're an RK patient, you know about multiple images--sit in a dark room with a single LED about 10 feet away (such as the red LED on a TV that's off). An RK patient will see a pattern of multiple LEDs due to the irregular astigmatism. Well, that pattern got LARGER (spread out more), not smaller, after LaZrPlastique. In simple terms, I now have "double vision." In technical terms, my astigmatism went from 2.4 D to 2.9 D as measured by an Oculus Pentacam. Second, perhaps the more disturbing aspect, is Dr. Gulani's response regarding astigmatism. I mentioned the Pentacam map and my multiple images and he basically shouted that I'm stupid, that "topography isn't vision...refraction is vision!" Well, guess what? He destroyed my topography and now I can't see! Refraction means nothing if you're seeing multiple of everything. I don't think he understands how important topography is (duh, why do you think scleral lenses work so well for us?). Third, he flat-out lied to me and said, "you're the only patient that has had this complaint." Any fool can read reviews and find numerous instances of similar results, and those reviews basically follow the same path--poor results, Dr. Gulani denies it, he tells them to just "wait for it to heal." I'm not stupid; I know it's healed, and I'm not going to waste ten years waiting to see if it heals more. And if you carefully study the Yelp reviews, you'll notice this swarm of invalidated positive reviews in bunched-up timeframes...faked, forced, or both? To be fair, the staff were all really nice and it's quite the experience the whole week you're there. But looking back, it seems like more of a big circus. "Well, that procedure is normally this price, but for you it's lower." How gimmicky is that? Dr. Gulani is so pompous, it'll make you vomit...the office is a shrine to his ego. He goes on and on about he's the only one who can do what he does, making a big show of "did my Canada patient land yet?" I think it's all in his head; his sense of self-importance is so inflated and I don't know if he's capable of admitting failure. I'm not going to sue him; I knew it was a gamble going in. I just didn't think the "best in the world" could possibly do such a bad job. I'm guessing his true success rate is much lower than the hype would lead you to believe. I'm sure Dr. Gulani has helped many people. I think if you have very low astigmatism (less than 0.5 D) but need a major refraction adjustment (let's say you're 20/200), Dr. Gulani might be able to take you down to 20/40. But because he's only doing PRK and not TG-PRK, he can't clear up your irregular astigmatism. Oh, and he called my local eye doctor a buffoon for writing "patient went to Florida to have surgery by a doctor who claims he can fix RK." Yeah. Real professional. I wish I got paid $20,000 a day and wasn't accountable for the results.

I have been using Bowden Eye associates for several years. I began using them mainly due to…read moreproximity to my home and a change in insurance. I was hooked after my first visit! The office staff is beyond amazing. They are all kind, cordial, courteous, and efficient in all that they do! They are painstakingly thorough, as well! I see Dr. Robbin! I love the fact that he is 'real' and down to earth with his patients! That definitely makes a doctor's visit less intimidating. I truly appreciate that and also the fact that he doesn't try to upsell anything that isn't absolutely needed! Having the ability to choose different offices is very helpful, too! Depending on my personal schedule, I've been able to make appointments on different sides of town while still seeing Dr. Robbin! I've also had an instance where I scratched my cornea and was able to get an emergency visit with him without issue! Finding the right doctor is important for various reasons. You know you've found the right fit when you're willing to drive across town for your specific doctor.... Not because your insurance dictates that specific person but because YOU do! De. Robbin and Bowden Eye Associates are both my right choice!

This doctor's office was exceptional. I researched the office based on my whereabouts that day and…read moredoctor reviews online and this doctor was listed as outstanding. I fully agree with those reviews. There was plenty of staff and the waiting room had just a patient or two, the way it should be with one doctor there that day. The ladies were personable and sympathetic, even searching for a phone charger for me when I forgot mine. As soon as I walked in, they knew my name and handed me the patient packet. Within five minutes of filling out the form, I was seated in a room where they performed some primary eye testing procedures and gave me drops, with took 10 or 15 minutes total. After the drops took effect, the doctor saw me within five minutes. My entire trip as a new patient, including filling out forms, paying my copay, preliminary tests, and seeing the doctor was about an hour. The doctor was great, thorough in asking me questions, personable, and listened to me. For me, that is a rarity in a doctor's office these days. She completed the full physical exam and gave me the choice of having my eyes dilated as well, which I declined since I was driving. I felt comfortable with her response.

As someone said, be prepared to wait. I've been to her twice and both times had to wait an hour…read morepast my appt time to see her. This time in 2020 was even longer since they had to dilate my eyes (didn't tell me in advance). They don't accept vision insurance so I had to pay for the whole visit (I have high deductible medical insurance). I did have a medical issue so that was ok, just fyi. The dilation cost an extra $50 (which I was not told at the time). I actually didn't want it, but the aide said the doctor wouldn't see me if I didn't. I had to go back to work and didn't want blurry vision. It's not that they used the high-tech machine which I know costs more. The cost was $185 in all. As a patient it's hard breathe when you have a mask on and your face pushed into the machine. The front desk worker at the window didn't have a mask on, but patient were required to wear one. I think she later put one on when I came back to the window. The Dr is very nice and I think she's a good doctor but not worth waiting that long There were three office workers and you'd think they'd plan longer appointment times for patients, since she takes so long. I'll find a new ophthalmologist next time.

It's been over 6 years since my Lasik surgery and I've noticed the vision in one of my eyes was…read morechanging back and causing me severe headaches. Since they have a lifetime guarantee, I contacted LasikPlus to schedule another consultation. They did an eye exam to confirm what I was reporting, and since I did not have the need to go see a regular eye doctor since having Lasik. I was a good candidate for another re-treatment for my right eye only, my left eye was still 20/20. Because I already had Lasik done before, I was a good candidate for PRK and scheduled the surgery. Dr. Orta is still there and she is just as wonderful and pleasant as ever, and remembered me from 6 years ago. She did my initial eye exam and explained that PRK would be the best choice for a re-treatment, and that the recovery time would take longer. I prepared for surgery day and took a week off work. Dr. Endicott did my surgery, and he was also great with putting me at ease before, during, and after the surgery (even though it was my second go around). They do surgeries on Fridays only due to the recovery time, and there were five people before me getting the surgery as well. One patient was very nervous, but Dr. Endicott and the staff assisting were awesome with keeping them comfortable. The aftermath was not as bad as I remembered the first time, and I was given the medicated eye drops and pain pills if I needed them. The only downside was NO electronics (phone, TV, etc.) for five days and to only drive when I feel confortable. I had two more follow up appointments to make sure my eye healed and that my vision was corrected. Everything turned out great and I was told I don't have to get an eye exam in the future, only again if I notice any changes in my vision. The best part? I only paid for the eye drops out of pocket. The lifetime guarantee covered the eye exams, re-treatment and the pre and post-op visits. Dr. Orta, Dr. Endicott and the staff of LasikPlus were fantastic as always.

The mandatory follow-up felt disorganized and impersonal. All patients were scheduled at the same time, which made the process feel rushed and overcrowded rather than patient-focused. The "lifetime warranty" was emphasized in a way that felt more like pressure than a benefit. I was told the follow-up appointment would take 15-20 minutes, but it ended up taking closer to two hours. For comparison, the actual procedure only took about 40 minutes. There didn't seem to be much respect for patients' time, and I was not given the option to reschedule. Hearing explanations about staffing call-outs during an appointment related to my vision did not inspire confidence. Bottom line: great results from the procedure itself, but the customer service and follow-up experience need significant improvement.
