Anyone have local recommendation's for cataract surgery that is not Ullman? Takes too long to get into to see him. I know he's the best.

Keep us posted.ppaca wrote:Thanks Joanie, just got back from my retinal doc and he said I could go anywhere I wanted but he recommended Dr Mills, he has a good rating. Most of my clients used Ullman or McKnight, but I am going to go to Mills. Hell if he's good enough to teach residents a couple times a month at Shands I guess he's good enough to do my cataracts.

Linda I was told today they dope you up? Sure hope so I can't even handle eye drops.
The day after did you see him for follow up or the doctor who referred you?
Yes when my retinal doc left center for sight I believe it was McKnight or could have been Mason they assigned me to two years ago and I did not care for him, did not answer my questions and acted as though I didn't matter.
Did you get the regular lenses or spring for the more expensive ones?

I think my retina doctor and Mills has some kind of a deal. I asked him about McKnight and Ullman today and he said I could choose anyone but 95% of his patients end up seeing Mills and then for the next day follow up to be with my retinal doctor because Mills is a traveling doctor and normally too busy for follow ups. Doesn't matter though I have to get something done soon. I am using a magnifying glass most of the time to read the computer and cannot read printed materials at all.

Second eye (they do them at least two weeks apart) was early June '16. Why do you ask (curious)?
LOL re your wife tying you down for drops. Just do the little "pouch" thing with your lower lid and it'll be a piece of cake.
