NOT ALL ARE THE SAME
Our personal approach to LASIK at the Whitsett Vision Group includes Dr. Whitsett being involved in all aspects of your eye care. In many offices, the M.D. does not take initial measurements or provide after care.
Not all LASIK surgeons have the same skill level or experience. Whether you select Dr. Whitsett or another doctor, candidates should evaluate the following before proceeding with LASIK surgery:
- Is your surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology? Board-certified doctors have undergone additional training and testing.
- Has the FDA, which approves all procedures, hand selected your surgeon to be a part of its clinical trials?
- Does your LASIK surgeon have experience treating challenging or complicated cases?
- Is your LASIK surgeon responsive to your questions prior to surgery, and does he provide a realistic assessment of your potential based on your lifestyle needs?
- What is your LASIK surgeon’s safety record?
- What is your LASIK surgeon’s enhancement rate?
- How many LASIK procedures has your surgeon performed in his/her entire career?
