I Can See!!! After…read moredecades of wearing glasses and my old man eyes finally getting to the point of being absolutely done with buying glasses every year I decided to do something about it. I haven't known many people who have had eye surgery and I was slightly hesitant since they are my eyes after all. After reading the countless google reviews for Dr. Woolfson praising his work and the experience overall I decided it was time. I met first with Dr. Burns and some assistants and everyone was friendly and professional. I was super excited to get scheduled for a week or two later! Day of surgery I showed up with my eye drops and only a tiny bit of anxiety because again it's my eyes after all. The procedure really is only a couple minutes long. You don't really feel much other than a slight pressure and you see a bunch of lights. Once it's done it's hard to imagine why I waited so long to get it done! Tips: go home to a dark relaxing place so try all your eye drops right after surgery. An hour or so later your eyes want to rest and a nap is good. Eye drops are more important than you can imagine! After surgery you can already read! I haven't been able to read without glasses in decades! A week later you cannot believe you can read with no glasses, but distance is weird. A month later distance is now getting better and better. My eyes are so much better it's amazing. I mean literally amazing and such a change for my life! I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Woolfson and his associates!

I will say the procedure day was longer than I anticipated, but they even found me snacks to eat while I was still waiting. Dr. Woolfson was friendly and I was very impressed with the handwritten note I received after my procedure. Also I was planning on getting PRK before the day of the procedure and had already picked up my eye drop prescriptions for that procedure. Since that changed they saved me another trip to the pharmacy and gave me the other drops I needed. Definitely would recommend if you're tired of wearing glasses or contacts and want a great place to do it!!

YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE YOU HIRE! In April 2023, I experienced a sudden large floater, 3…read moreweeks after cataract surgery. I called immediately, the female phone person said, "a Tech will get back to you." That did not happen for a WEEK - SEVEN DAYS despite my MANY phone calls and email. Finally me "loosing it" on the phone a week later - demanding I speak with a doctor, got Dr DiStefano's attention and she referred me to a Retina Specialist for surgery. It was TOO late for my retina and macula. In the ensuing 18 months, I've had: laser retina repair (referral) - worsening cloudy vision - multiple eyedrops - eye injections - a Vitrectomy to repair the Macula Hole that developed - and Scleral Buckle surgery when my retina detached a month after the Vitrectomy Have YOU ever experienced lying face down, 20 hours per day, for 7 days straight - twice in two months? This is what is required with both surgeries! I have LOST functionality of my left eye - FOREVER. This means CLOSING my eye to read, write, watch TV, etc. for the rest of my life. I request ALL Tech's and Female phone personnel who worked for DiStefano and Ridner during April 2023 be Terminated and never allowed to work in an field that involves the human body. I've LOST a functional eye. Do YOU really want to chance it???
