If I had wanted a total stranger to do surgery on my eye, I would've told them so. Instead, without…read moreinforming me, the first I knew someone else was doing my surgery was when I heard a different voice. Dr. Emerson didn't scrub in, (allegedly), and didn't oversee the butchering job that the Fellow did, so I have 20/600 in that eye. Right up to my "final" pre-op, Emerson said the prognosis was great with 20/30 as a potential outcome. When the Fellow botched my eye, Emerson said it didn't have anything to do with who performed the surgery, because "Stephen, you're the unluckiest man in the world. You have macular holes in both eyes. " I call BS on that. Obviously There are plenty of retinal specialist to choose from, avoid RCM at all costs, literally

I saw two providers at this practice. After a not great experience with the first I tried another…read moresince this is where my ophthalmologist refers. It turned out to be the worst medical experience of my life. The provider caused me significant pain and when I flinched from the needle in my eye, instead of perhaps adding more numbing drops he had his burly male assistant hold me down against my will, despite my repeated requests to stop. It was an absolute nightmare. He kept telling me I was doing fine, despite the fact that I clearly was not. It was a total disregard for my comfort, wellbeing and clearly stated wishes for him to stop. It felt like an assault, not a medical procedure. Run, do not walk, away from this practice.

But must they be provided with total callousness. The waits in between eye drops were at least 2 x what we experienced at the Mpls. Veterans Eye Clinic. We started at 1:00 p.m. and at 4:00 p.m. were finished. One set of eye drops had to be repeated because they had worn off before the following set of evaluations were completed. My partner has had Avastin eye injections before. This one was administered at about 3:45 p.m. He said it was the most painful he has every experienced. When he said that the eye clamp was hurting they blamed him. No empathy. None. No consideration for the fact that Parkinson's Disease affects his ability to open and shut eyes independently. Not even an acknowledgement. I could overhear at least two patients asking about the wait. One set of elderly women suggested that if they come back that they bring their lunch. So, we waited three hours, as Charles got stiff in a wheelchair. We were told come early next time as patients pile up. Where is the clinic manager to manage patient flow.

In 2017, Dr. Mittra performed the Vitrectomy to remove the floaters from the right eye. In the…read moreconsultation, he said that a Vitrectomy has a 100% success rate. That it will remove 100% of the floaters with the vitreous. However, post surgery, a Large floater still remains on the right side and is very annoying. When addressing the concern with Dr. Mittra, he replied that they can remove Central vitreious and can Not go all the way out to the edge, so there is some peripheral vitreous that remains. I was disappointed that he communicated that All floaters would be removed, and wished he had been upfront on what one can expect.

The "McDonald's of Eye Care" - (would you like fries with that?)…read moreFirst, I want to say that the front desk was organized, friendly, and very efficient at getting checked in. Then it ALL went downhill from there. First, the waiting room is too small and I don't care for being in small crowded space with 50 other people. They run this place like a machine - hustling you to a room for some type of testing, then toss you back into the waiting room to wait for the next type of test. I was put back in the waiting room 5 times during my visit which took - OVER 2-1/2 hours. Also, you need to have a driver to bring you home because they put so many drops in your eyes you can't see a thing for hours afterwards, so you get to waste another person's time on top of your own. Also, they wanted to inject some kind of dye into me to check blood vessels in my eye - which they told me might make me nauseated and want to vomit. Blood vessels have NOTHING to do with the issue I was there to see a doctor for and I told them I would pass on having the injection. That didn't go over well, and I guess it was silly of me to be under the impression that the patient still has some right to direct their care plan.... I'm certain that the doctor I saw was very well educated and trained, but that doesn't constitute being dismissive jerk to your patients. He didn't tell me anything that I hadn't heard from my "regular" eye doctor regarding the nevus in my eye and never addressed my need for cataract surgery at all. But he told me to come back in 3 months.....ummmm - NO! I wouldn't set foot back there and wish I hadn't wasted my time or money in the first place. I would recommend you look elsewhere for the eye care you need.

Then why sell them to me. Two of the pairs are for distance and bifocals. The bifocals are fine but the distance vision is blurry unless I tilt them.
