This is based off of ongoing experience even a decade after no longer seeing this physician. As a child, I had cataract surgery. It was always a fine experience, until I went to another opthalmologist for a second opinion 20 years later about getting a lens implant after he told me he wouldn't do it. The main issue I left was due to being an adult sitting alone in a small waiting room full of kids while waiting for my appointment was not ideal. So even after asking the second dr. twice whether he was absolutely sure it was feasible to do the implant, he said it absolutely was and proceeded with the operation. A year later on my annual visit, he tells me that I need to return to Dr. Troia, apologize, offer up my right eye, and that he can't see me anymore. Also stated that Dr. Troia knows a lot of people. Well that's all great and dandy, but when you consider the 4 pillars of ethics, each and every one of those pillars might as well be nonexistent in the eyes of this group of "Doctors". Since then I went to a different opthalmologist and was given the worst care possible while they trumped up the godhood of Dr. Troia and the other Dr. I had the lens replacement surgery with. Coincidentally these last 2 Drs. gave a completely bogus prescription that was completely off by more than 2.00 in power. I'm at a loss for words. Next option is lawsuit for all 3 for malpractice. read more
