Truely cannot beleive how horribly I was treated by Doctor Dao at cornea consultants of AZ. I went in to be checked on an emergency I was having. He gave me absolutely no information before telling me he must scrap my cornea and it needed to happen right then and there. I'm terrified of doctors and terrified of problems with my eye because I have reoccuring corneal erosion and it is severe pain a few times a year. He then told me I thought you were a tough girl. I don't even know where he came up with that assumption I never said I was tough I just said I've been dealing with this pain for years and haven't been able to go to a doctor. Has nothing to do with being tough. He assured me I must get this procedure done and I will be 100% good to go after it is done. Turns out I am in agonizing pain for days to come. He prescribed me two drops he told me that it was urgent that I used the drops with a grey cap every 4 hours and the other drops work for pain. Days went by no relief. I called every single day trying to talk the doctor and tell him how much pain I was in. When I finally go back for my follow-up he yells at me and tells me why did you not call me you should have come in you are getting an infection in your cornea. I did tell him I called 3 days in a row and they kept telling me to just wait for my appointment. He tells me there is no way that is possible. But the funny thing is they sent me a prescription for my eye for Comfort during this time so how is it not possible that I had contacted them numerous times telling them how much pain and discomfort I was in. Once I arrive for my follow-up he informs me that I have formed an infection in my cornea, why because of the procedure that he did and not giving me the correct antibiotics to take after. He then prescribe me more antibiotics and says he needs to see me back in 2 days. Today was that day I went into his office with my boyfriend on speaker phone in my purse so he could hear everything that was going on. I explain to the doctor that I was still in pain. He told me there is no way that I can be in pain. He did not give me an update on the status of my infection. He did not tell me what to do next. I asked him should I go to the emergency room. He then said I think you need to find a new opthamologist. And you can tell them I was going to prescribe you steroids for your eye and now I'm not going to. That is when I had to tell him what disrespectful human being he was and how I've never been treated this way by a medical professional. He then said no comment. And ran out of the office into his personal office and slammed his door.
I highly suggest avoiding this Ophthalmology practice if at all possible. And if you must go there and never ever let them do a procedure on your eye.
