  • My husband and I both had LASIK done here and we had VERY different experiences. He went first, and I went 2 months later... First off, I live in Summerlin, and the Wellish main office is a 45 minute drive each way. So add an hour and a half to each appointment time. Here is a quick run down of all of your appointments: 1) 1 hour consultation to see if you are even a candidate for the surgery. 2) 3 hour pre-op testing 3) 1 hour LASIK surgery 4) 1 hour day-after post-op 5) 1 hour week-after post-op 6) 1 hour month-after post-op So as you can see, if you do not have a flexible schedule this will be very annoying to the other people in your life that have to adjust to your 6 appointment times all within a month. My husband was lucky and these affected no one, however I have 25 clients and a 2 year old that all depend on me being at a certain place at a certain time. Secondly, my scheduled surgery day was canceled on me the-day-of and moved to the following day. Annoying, yes, but what can I do? Nothing. Did this happen to my husband? No, of course not. Finally, operation day!!! When you check in to the office they make it very clear that you must power off your cell phones. That's fine, after all, who do I think I am, Alec Baldwin? So while waiting for my 2 Valium to kick in, they send me to the "quiet" room to try and relax. I'm in there no more than a minute when a cell phone alarm of church bells starts ringing for 5 consecutive minutes. My anxiety is now through the roof as I blindly (because I'm not wearing my glasses) feel my way out of the room and into an employee break room to shut the darn thing off. I later found out this was Dr. Welish's phone which he chooses to keep on. I guess his cell phone frequency goes off his own special waves. What was my husbands experience like while waiting for his Valium to kick in? "Zen-like" were his exact word. Good for him. Finally, operation time!!! As I stumble in like a drunk lady with lead feet, I quickly remind the staff that my husband would like to watch the surgery through the glass from the waiting room (as I did 2 months prior for his). They assured me that they were aware of my request. The surgery was uncomfortable and felt like it took forever. I got bubbles under my flaps which had to be smoothed out, which was not at all fun. Did my husband have bubbles under his flaps? Nope, why would he? So I am now ushered back into the waiting room where my husband is eagerly awaiting me and the first thing I ask is what he thought of watching the surgery? Oh, they forgot to open the blinds until it was over half way over. Seriously? Just fabulous. I was beyond upset that they couldn't be bothered to meet my very simple request. Because of course they remembered to do it for him! A full week later, I have 20/25 vision, which is not yet perfect. But they say it can take up to a month. I required tear duct plugs to keep my eyes more moist. It's an uncomfortable process. Did he? No. And in case you're wondering, my husbands vision was 20/15 the very next day. That's better than perfect. I write this review as a combination of both of our experiences. Obviously his would have been 5-stars. I do think the staff there is extremely friendly and knowledgable. As for Dr. Wellish himself, he seems a little like The Great and Powerful Oz. You never meet him until moments before he slices your cornea open and shoots beams of lasers into your retina. He's ok with last minute schedule changes, not abiding by his own cell phone policy, and disregarding patients simple requests. But he will happily take your hard earned $4,000. He wouldn't know who I was if I passed him on the street tomorrow, and he did my surgery a week ago. So thank you Dr. Oz, I mean Wellish, I hope at my month post-op I do have 20/20.
