    Dr. McCarty is top notch!! She closed up my basal cell incision. It looked really good from day one…read moreand has only gotten better with time. She is truly a master worker and super sweet. All of my friends and family tell me how good it looks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing plastic surgery. The best!! The staff are all very nice and are always available for any questions or concerns along my journey. This picture is five days post-op. See what I mean?!?

    I drove 3.5 hours (7 hours round-trip) for this appointment, only to have Bakewell refuse to see me…read morebecause I was 10 minutes late after getting lost in the maze of his own hospital complex. I had to stop and ask people for directions just to find the office. What makes this even more outrageous is that the receptionist acknowledged that I was within their stated 10-minute grace period, yet he still refused to see me and told me I needed to reschedule. Since I was experiencing pain in my eye and it took more than a month to get this appointment, I asked - no, begged them -- to reconsider. I explained that I had just driven 3.5 hours to get there. The receptionist took her sweet time going to ask Dr. Bakewell, then came back several minutes later and told me that he refused to see me because I was 10 minutes late. Another receptionist explained that Dr. Bakewell would have had to spend more than 2 hours with me for my appointment. My question is: If that is true, what exactly was Bakewell doing with the next 2.5 hours of his time? Apparently, whatever it was, it was more important than seeing a patient who had driven 3.5 hours to be there. I explained that I was experiencing pain in my eye. They didn't care. There was no attempt to understand the circumstances, no effort to accommodate me, and no regard whatsoever for the fact that I had driven 3.5 hours ONE WAY for this appointment. The lack of compassion and regard for a patient is astounding! Asking me to drive another 7 hours ROUND TRIP was completely unreasonable and, frankly, impossible. At this point, I have to look at what happened as a blessing in disguise. There is no way I will ever let this man touch my eyes. I am still experiencing pain. Now I need to drive to L.A., where a more compassionate doctor has agreed to see me right away Shame on you! I'm going to share this experience with all my friends in Tucson to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else!

    Absolutely the poorest experience I've ever had at a medical office. Had to go twice for different…read moreappointments. Follow up months later looking to pay them in full. Paid them and then they still send bills months later. Can't say I'd ever recommend this office. Hard to reach, overall incompetent. There's better options.

    This is a hard no…read more Prefacing here by saying this was an appointment requested by my optometrist (in Chandler) to establish baseline health of my retinas as I get older. I've had glasses since I was 4 and have seen plenty of ophthalmologists. Had I known what to expect here, I would have pursued his referral in Phoenix. From the jump this place is not patient focused. Long waits on hold for an appointment (where at first, they'll tell you to text for an appointment and when you do, if it's your first they'll tell you that you have to call), packed waiting rooms, impersonal treatment, hours to actually see a physician. Prior to my appointment I called and asked about counteracting drops for the dilation and was told they had them. When I arrived there on my own (as my husband was stuck in Chicago) I was told by the first assistant that no, they don't have them. Why not?? She didn't know but every. single. patient. in the building gets dilated, so why wouldn't they???? The assistants do both intake and diagnostic and there are so many patients that you're treated like garbage. One assistant tried to hold my head closer to the equipment for proper imaging and didn't let go until I asked her to. I'm not a four year old and she never asked me to move closer and she then started shouting what she wanted to do next. I asked her if she was used to shouting at people - she said yes. I understand that some patients here are potentially hard of hearing but there was absolutely no kindness in her approach as well as the others who were 'taking pictures' - which is how they refer to imaging. The only real kindness was from the male assistant who sat me in the exam room prior to the doctor arriving. He was apologetic about the number of people ("yeah, three doctors in today, it's busy", he says) I thanked him for his kindness and told him he'd been the only one to offer it. My appointment time was 2:30 and at 4:00 I was still waiting to see the doctor. Had I not already had eyes dilated, I would have walked out. At 4:15 the doctor arrived, asked a few questions, reviewed the imaging and examined my eyes. Told me my eyes were very healthy and that he'd send a report to my doctor. Two minutes max and he walked out the door right after saying no need to schedule a follow up appointment. If I had needed one I'd have gone elsewhere. Retina Associates is a slow and poorly managed assembly line not about making the patient feel comfortable or actually cared for in any meaningful way.

    My elderly, low vision family member had an infection in her seeing eye that needed to be checked…read moreout. Dr. Lewis was the first appointment available, and he pulled in Dr. Maltzman since he regularly worked with her. Dr. Maltzman prescribed antibiotic eye drops and scheduled a follow-up with her at the start of the following week. At that appointment, the condition had not improved, so he added another drop and--because the cornea was involved--got her in to see Dr. Bakewell two days later. Dr. Bakewell took a corneal scraping to determine what antibiotic would work best. The testing process, unfortunately, takes 3-5 days. He had her back in as soon as the results came back and called the local compounding pharmacy to get the appropriate antibiotics in our hands that day. He also called Dr. Duerksen to see if she could fit my family member in to fix her ectropion eyelides, since he thought it contributed to the infection. The phone calls were much appreciated and beyond what many doctors would do. For the next month, he saw my family member every week to check on her progress. When she became ill and passed, we notified the office so they would cancel future appointments. Within days we received a sympathy card from the office. Our family's experience with Drs. Maltzman and Bakewell was 5-star. Do make sure you get electronic confirmation of appointments made over the phone.

    Cataract Surgery: "Don't Worry! Be Happy!" [My Testimony,…read moreJune 19, 2024] When the smiling dentist coming at you with the drill says, "Don't worry!" You: "Easy for you to say! You're on the other side of the drill!" When the smiling surgeon reassures you about cataract surgery says: "Don't worry!" You: "Easy for you to say! You're on the other side of the scalpel!" Yesterday, Dr. Henry and his surgical team provided all kinds of encouragement, and the anesthesiologist, Dr. "C" (as she called herself), gave very fine, graphical, and believable examples of the few sensations that I actually WOULD be feeling. But, no matter what encouraging words I heard and read about yesterday's cataract surgery, as I was being prepped for it while lying on my gurney - no matter WHAT I was telling my emotions, my emotions kept whispering back, "But, how do you know what is going to happen?!" The fear of the unknown does not like to listen to statistically based comforts. Situations like this tend to intensify one's prayer life - if one has someone to pray to! Fortunately, I do, and it sure helped. But I also wanted to reassure anyone reading this little testimony that those comforting words that came from my surgeon, his team, and his pamphlets really ARE true! I not only felt no pain; I didn't feel or see a THING! No scalpels, no thumbs! The drops and gel that they apply make the vision in your affected eye so blurred and anesthetized that you see no details of any kind, and feel very few sensations of any kind. They put a covering over your face, so that your good eye sees nothing at all. Then they open a little opening in the covering to expose that little "patient." That eye just "sees" some dull colored background light with no details whatsoever. During the entire procedure, I "saw" absolutely nothing: no scalpel, no thumb! I also "felt" absolutely nothing. This went on for what seemed like ten or fifteen minutes; I was still waiting for something to start when they announced that it was finished! That was it. Over the years, even though I have spent most of my days working on my laptop, that eye had become worthless for reading anything. But, when I woke up this morning my "new" eye, which had been the far worse of the two, saw things in better detail than the formerly good eye! And with my surgically corrected new eye, that eye can read what I am now typing here with no glasses at all! Yesterday, even with glasses that uncorrectable left eye saw nothing that I had read or written but a black blur! I told Dr. Henry this morning that I feel like a kid at Christmas eve who went to bed hoping to get a jackknife and being given a new pony! So, "don't worry, and be happy!" You are in good hands! And thank YOU, Doctor Henry, you and your marvelous team! In a few more weeks you get to work on my RIGHT eye! Reed Merino, M.Div. (age 83) ReedMerino@gmail.com
