I saw Daryl Pfister, Ophthalmologist, at the Southwestern Eye Center in Tempe. The staff were rude and impatient. I would give Pfister 0 stars if that were possible. He saw me for about 5 minutes. Looked in my eyes, said I had cataracts in both eyes and needed surgery in BOTH eyes He said I needed Toric lenses to correct for astigmatism, because regular lenses didn't do that. He said insurance didn't cover these lenses but not to worry they had a care credit without interest for 18 months. He then rushed me out to the secretary making the appointments. She only gave me information about the Toric lenses because that is how they make their money. I asked her what my level of astigmatism was on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being very bad, and she wouldn't reply. Needless to say, I did not make an appointment because I didn't trust them. I don't want someone operating on me that I don't trust
I called my regular eye doctor to see what she thought. She said I didn't have astigmatism and that Toric lens would do me no good. In addition, she said I only needed the operation in the left eye because my glasses corrected my vision in my right eye to 20/20. I told her about my experience at Southwestern Eye Center and she said she had hear this before and won't refer people to them because of this.
