If I could sing the praises of the staff and Dr. Wellish from the heavens I would! I am so glad I chose this facility and Dr. Wellish to do my Lasik, if I had to do it all over again - I would go back!! From the initial intake with Theresa to the pre and post-op with Bernie and Dr. McCandless, every single staff member was so nice and professional and just the absolute best!
I was an absolute wreck before my surgery - literally a wreck. Crying in the pre-op waiting room. Oh yes. I was that person. The young lady downstairs (I think her name was Tracy??) who gives you your meds before you go into the surgery did so much to help calm me down (mostly, gave me more meds) but she also was so comforting and really just helped put me at ease that by the time it was my turn, I was ready to go! (also, the two Xanax and like 8 Valium had kicked in...I am sure that had nothing to do with it at all....) And then after the surgery when I went home I woke up to a text message from her asking me how I was feeling and if I needed anything! SO NICE!
And then Dr. Wellish. He was just great. Explained everything that he was doing during the surgery and walked me through the procedure so that I wasn't surprised by anything. Bernie who did my pre-op was in there as well which was comforting. My surgery went perfectly. I now have 20/20 vision - no complications, no problems and am so happy I went through with it. My only regret is I didn't get the surgery sooner.
OH! And I can't forget Tehani - the patient relations girl at the front desk who set up all my appointments. You can tell why she is in charge of patient relations. So nice and what a personality!! Answered all my questions - remembered me every time I came into the office (probably because I was that 32 year old girl who came with her mom and was absolutely terrified. Yep. #noshame)
I almost wish I needed a correction or something with my surgery - everyone at the office was so nice and I wish they could all be my friends. (knock on wood)
Thanks Dr. Wellish and staff. You guys are awesome! I will (and have) recommended anyone I know who is interested in Lasik to your office!
