I had a very disappointing experience with this practice…read more My appointment was scheduled because I wanted to have a proactive conversation with a physician about my family history of macular degeneration. My goal was not to seek treatment for a current eye problem, but rather to understand what I can do now to reduce my risk in the future. I wanted to discuss questions such as whether certain vitamins are beneficial, whether therapies like red light therapy have any evidence behind them, and what lifestyle changes or preventive measures are supported by research. When I scheduled the appointment, I was assured that I would be able to meet with a doctor to have this discussion. However, after arriving, I was told that I could not see the physician unless I first completed a full series of medical imaging and diagnostic tests. I was told they needed pictures of my eyes before they could even have a conversation with me. I found this extremely frustrating. While I understand that imaging is appropriate when evaluating or diagnosing an eye condition, I wasn't there because I was experiencing symptoms. I was there to receive education and guidance on prevention. It seems counterproductive that a specialist would refuse to discuss evidence-based ways to reduce risk simply because I declined diagnostic testing that wasn't the purpose of my visit. Preventive medicine should be encouraged. Specialists have an opportunity to educate patients before disease develops, especially when there is a significant family history. Instead, I left feeling that the focus was on requiring procedures before providing even basic medical guidance. Had I been told when scheduling that a consultation was contingent upon undergoing diagnostic imaging, I could have made an informed decision before taking time out of my day. Unfortunately, that expectation was never communicated, making the experience both disappointing and misleading.

The lady doctor told me after my exam that I might benefit from the YAG procedure, and I should schedule to come back for a consultation with Dr. Solomon to find out more. I made the appointment for 8:45 this morning. I left my house at 7:30 am and drove through rush hour traffic for nearly an hour. I got to the office, checked in, and they called me back at 8:55. The tech asked me why I was there which was surprising. Anyway, I told her I was there for a consultation. She asked me if my eyes were bothering me, and I said no. She then told me that Dr. Solomon won't do the surgery until they bother me. I reminded her that the ophthalmologist in their office told me to schedule this appointment, and I had driven almost an hour to get there. Sensing my unhappiness, she asked if I'd like to talk to Dr. Solomon. I said yes. She said I'd have to wait a half hour. He hadn't even come in yet. I have had similar customer unfriendly service in the past. I went up front and told the lady what had happened. Not much concern..... only telling me "there's nothing I can do". I told her I would never be back. They were totally dismissive of my experience. I think Dr. Solomon can be arrogant, and I feel like it's more a cataract factory. How can he not be there when his first patients are being seated? I just wasted my morning. They do not care!!!!

It's officially been a month and a half since I had LASIK done and so far, my only regret is that I…read moredidn't get it done sooner. If you've been in Charleston for any length of time you've probably heard of Kerry Solomon. His name is always the one that pops up when mentioning LASIK and from the moment I made the decision that I wanted to get this done, I knew he'd be the one I'd go to. Taking in all the good with the bad, I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering LASIK to go ahead and get it done, but I was even surprised at how much goes into this whole process. I'd say the actual surgery was one of the easiest parts of the whole experience. There is a lot of prep and post-op aspects with getting LASIK and Dr. Solomon's office did a very good job of clearly explaining all that goes into this procedure. I won't go into everything involved but just know for a good month, your world will consist of lots of round the clock eye drops, no makeup for a big duration (this may have been the hardest part for me), and wearing my glasses a lot more than I'm used to. I'd say if you're considering getting LASIK, these things should be taken into consideration (especially for us girls who wear makeup) to plan around. I ended up getting my surgery done in August because they were offering a huge discount during that time period ($800 off each eye!). The actual surgery wasn't bad at all. Definitely nerve-wracking but I can't imagine anyone being comfortable when you think of what is actually happening to your eyes. But the whole staff is so great at putting your mind to ease. And the good news is that the surgery goes by really fast! You'll be in the room less than 10 minutes and the actual procedure is about 2 minutes per eye. Then you go home and take a 4-6 hour nap and you wake up to perfect (or near perfect) vision! Truth be told, there have been some not so great aspects I've had to deal with like severe dry eyes and night glare, but these are all normal effects of the procedure and of course nothing that reflects badly on Dr. Solomon. I'm told to give it a solid 3 months to let your eyes heal completely, so that's what I'm going to do. But even taking these into consideration, I'd do it all over again. I still catch myself heading to the bathroom to take out/put in my contacts and then I remember I don't have to anymore. Best feeling!
