Afraid of cataract surgery? I couldn't even put eye drops in prior to my first cataract surgery 5…read moreweeks ago. I didn't know what to expect...so here's some info. They call you back pretty much on time. Make sure to follow directions (no food or drink, someone to stay during your procedure and to drive you afterwards, etc.). You go to holding area. No changing clothes or removing shoes even. Dress comfortably. No makeup, etc. You'll lay on a bed and they start putting eye drops in, asking some questions, I got an IV? (like an IV so they could give me meds to do a block in order to do my surgery, I don't think they do that with all surgeries). Since I was medicated for the block, I ended up in the operating room without knowledge of the trip there. They covered my face and I don't know what else in order to do the procedure. I was aware but it seemed sort of distant. I was aware when Dr. Murrell came in and was talking to me. It seemed like I could see shadows while he was doing the procedure but I didn't see anything coming at my eye nor did I feel the need to blink or dodge something like I thought I would do. I was terrified to have the procedure. I was very nervous. I couldn't even stand to have somebody put eye drops in. I thought I would actually fight the equipment that was holding my eye open while they were doing the procedure. But I didn't even have the urge. It was really not nearly as traumatic as I was expecting. Afterwards, you basically immediately get to drink something and leave. They send you to get something to eat and then you go back to your doctor's office for a quick check. I had Dr. Murrell do my eyes. I am telling my experience with him at the Surgery Center. I don't know if it is the same for pretty much all doctors but you could ask. I just thought I'd try to let other people know of my experience in case you might have some of the same thoughts.

Cannot say enough positive about Coulter Drive Optical!! Dr. Tyler Smith was fantastic. The entire…read morestaff has been great with the exception of one of the ladies at the front desk (Laken?). Very unprofessional. 2nd instance I had with her. She was more concerned about her eating habits and what she had for breakfast than paying attention. The service that I had in purchasing glasses and fitting was great!! Highly recommend this place. Try to avoid her at the desk if all possible so it doesn't go against your experience.

Five minutes later they come back out to the waiting area. Then wait another 30 minutes at least before being called back in. This happens on average of three times from what I've witnessed. This is ridiculous!!!! Just heard from another patient it's always this way and she's the only one in Amarillo that provides this service!!!!! Calling all eye surgeons!!!! Give Amarillo some options! From my experience I'm willing to drive my mother to Dallas each time just so we can get more attentive care!!!! We have lives too doc!!!!!!!!!!! To add to her incredibly unprofessional management with patients time. She prescribed an eye drop that had to be specially ordered ( which caused my mother to have to go 5 days without her "prescribed" eye drops AFTER surgery ) and would have cost her $183. After I looked into it she could have had the generic of the same drug for $17 and could have gotten right away. I had to demand a different prescription because she had specifically written the prescription for that brand. Even then I had a hard time ( took me two days) getting them to resend it with what my mom could afford. She's getting kickbacks I'm sure and if you request to speak with her on the phone about it you'll bee directed to a "technician". Sketchy practice if you ask me.

I recently had my right Bicept Tendon reconstructed By Dr. Brian Sims. I waited too long after the…read moreinjury to have an excellent chance of a full recovery. I also am a surgeon in a different specialty and am right arm dominant. I have patients that have had the same surgery (by different but very competent surgeons) who unfortunately had complications and had to give up their jobs because they lost the use of their dominant arm. So I took on several risks: Only a 75% chance of a successful surgery plus the risk of post op complications that could end my career. About 2 dozen of my patients had either themselves or someone they knew that had surgery by Dr. Sims and every single one of them praised him. I had dozens of my patients praying for me on the morning of the surgery, including Dr. Sims! Needless to say, the surgery & post op all went well & I was back operating on my patients in 4 weeks. Dr. Sims staff, techs and nurse practitioners were all excellent, caring and treated me wonderfully. The Panhandle Surgery Center where the procedure was performed was also excellent and highly competent. Thank You All for such Excellent Care!!!! JM 7/6/24
